I love the ‘country’ tag :-) Nicely done!

This lengthy single track, just under an hours and 45 minutes in duration, was compiled by Tobias Reber from the work of 54 participants in a summer 2022 collaboration between Musikfestival Bern and the Disquiet Junto music community. Contributors were invited to make drones based on a shared single chord from a John Cage composition. More details at disquiet.com/0554. 

Below is a full list in alphabetical order of the musicians included in this compilation. A few others were produced, as well, in the course of the music community project, which ran from August 11 through August 15, 2022. More on the festival, scheduled from September 7 through 11, 2022, at musikfestivalbern.ch.

We don’t do a lot of this sort of thing (by which I mean a post-project compilation), in large part because I never want Junto participants to feel like they need to complete a piece before posting it, and in part because external overarching editorial consideration — as is necessary for a compilation like this — is also something I don’t want someone thinking about as they produce tracks for the Junto. But that said, the projects with Musikfestival Bern are unique ones, and part of the announced plan from the start was some tracks may be selected for playing during part of the festival. This excellent compilation is one expression of that plan. Many thanks to Tobias for having executed this compilation.

Yes Exit (disquiet0559)

Electronic composition, sounds created in Pure Data.

White on Brown (naviarhaiku455)

This track follows the suggestion of the Disquiet Junto Project 0560: 
Participate in the open contest to develop of a “sound logo” for Wikimedia (see https://soundlogo.wikimedia.org/).

I thought of noises and melodies which are symbols for the world and all there is to know about. This highly objective and personal miniature compositions that was created is not meant to be a promising candidate in the contest but my personal view of the world, summarised in 4 seconds.

Consequently the artwork was chosen from Wikimedia (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a8/Morris_Woodpecker_tapestry_detail.jpg)

Disquiet Junto Project 0564: Octave Lept
The Assignment: Work an octave leap — or more than one — into a piece of music.

I used a track on which I was already working on and added automatic tools to randomly add or substract up to two octaves to all tracks. The probability was chosen so that the octave jumps should go unnoticed.

Track cover based on image from Dall-E2 prompting "Sudden jumps, not too hefty, edward hopper". This tool is so much fun!
