this week's Junto is basically the mission statement of this band, so i'll repeat an earlier pointer: 
Institut für Feinmotorik is the best prepared-turntable band of all time. cf. e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXCxnnena4Q 
Amazingly, you can download their historic release Penetrans (2002):

definitely some funky aleatoric action going on, did you use reaktor per chance?

Great piece of work, my friends! Maybe one day you will release those 2 hours of surplus on vinyl? =P /HM

Amazing on cans - some nice boings in there! (Sorry, don't know the nerd-name for boings... :P )

There's something oddly relaxing about the first two-thirds of this track - like rain falling on a toaster while someone repairs an android in a workshop out back. Why that should be relaxing, I don't know, but I like it. If I get my netlabel sorted out later this year, I'd love to put this out!

"Usul: Aksak Routine"  is an algorithmic  performance of electroacoustic music based on the rythmic system Usul of Turkish music. The term usul, which includes both the concepts of meter (measure) and rhythm, defines the rhythmic elements of all the structured musical pieces of the system. Every usul is a recurrent rhythmic circle – something similar of meter in western music – a model with a name and a pattern. The usuls are performed in beats, known in Turkish as "darp". Also the usuls are named according to the length and form of their beats and they are divided into two main groups, Minor usuls and Major usuls. The minors are those of 2 to 15 beats. The majors are those containing from 16 to 124 beats. The goal of this project is the use of minor usuls to create diffrent major usuls in real time.
The current multichannel (4ch to 8ch) piece consists of 6 sound sources. Each one of them returns a different minor usul, with samples created using the physical modeling software Genesis and SuperCollider. Every darp (beat) produced with graining effects in SuperCollider.  The rhythmic patterns and the sound spatialization are generated with original programs and routines, written also in SuperCollider. For controller in performance I am using a multitouch OSC controller.

Usul: Aksak Routine

For Disquiet Junto Project 0609: Speed Limit Pt 1. The Assignment: Record a track at precisely 60 BPM with the intention someone will subsequently rework it.

This is from a live improvised jam earlier today (Sep 4) with my Creatures Once bandmate Monstrosus. It was a great way to spent part of this Labor Day off as we feel Fall setting in here in the Northwest. To Juntofy this, I took two of his keyboard lines and layered and panned them opposite. Kept bass and few textures. Removed drums to leave some space. 
Looking forward to hearing what everyones makes this week, and what will come next week!

for @disquiet Junto 33: Turntable Played

actual meatspace collaboration with @random-coil


:: statement ::

random coil came over (no small feat) with the phenomenal RECORDING DEVICE, with which we made recordings of my original issue SONY PS-T22 AUTOMATIC/DIRECT DRIVE STEREO TURNTABLE SYSTEM (just to fulfill the nerd random information act we seem to have instituted for this Junto).

we spent a few minutes making one uninterrupted recording of various forms of misusing the various components of my original issue SONY PS-T22 AUTOMATIC/DIRECT DRIVE STEREO TURNTABLE SYSTEM with a non-standard-issue additional doohickey aparatus that brushes the vinyl clean 42 arcseconds before the needle hits the record (<- i have always enjoyed saying that out loud, very much. needle hits the record, i mean).

@random-coil then spent considerably, but not absurdly, more time cleaning and cutting up that recording, which resulted in 42 samples of varying length.

we then fed these into my supercollider.sf.net setup and proceeded to spend absurd, with-sound-nerd-abandon-grade amounts of time listening to endless semi-random variations of treatments of these. 

the recording i have now, semi-randomly, chosen to upload consists of vanilla, twice-a-second replays of jeweils (*) one of The 42, then segues into relatively chill rhythmic granulations of up to 32 randomly chosen samples. toward the end, the vanillas fade out, and we are left only with the granulations. (the point is pretty obvious in the waveform, i now see.)

this jam was very gratifying not least because random coil had the same problem i always do: all of these sounds sound so delicious, can't decide, can't deCIDE, CAN'T DECIDE. Consequently, we have several hours more of these, if anyone would be interested in putting out an album or two.

Disquiet Junto Project 0033: Turntable Played 

This week’s project is the Disquiet Junto's 33rd, and since the number 33 (or, more specifically, the number 33 1/3) is so closely tied with the LP turntable, that device will be the primary object of investigation. 

You will make an original piece of music in which all the sounds are derived from a turntable — only from the turntable itself, which means you can't put any vinyl on it. You can knock on the turntable, blow on the needle, record the sound of its internal mechanisms, whatever you like. You can also transform those sounds as you please, but you cannot include any additional sounds. 

Deadline: Monday, August 20, at 11:59pm wherever you are.

(*) jeweils is a useful german word that has no direct correspondent in the english language, whose meaning hence is impossible to explain adequately, afaik. in the above sentence, it elegantly points out that we are randomly selecting one of the 42 samples every 0.5 seconds.

All sounds from recordings of my tongue drum. I had big groaning, creaking sounds in mind. Created in hotel room on day three of a power outage caused by falling trees after a windstorm. Took a walk and found this big pile of fallen trees by the river. So here's some droniness, some crunchy textures and a little melody because there's always some of that around. 
Experimenting with Ableton Live's warping modes for most of the sounds. Some delays and verbs. Rolled off a little low and high end. I hope its not too full and dense for someone to add more to it!
Panned left as requested for the project. Stereo version (and abstract video of trees) here: https://youtu.be/BRw_IARdFhY

BPM: 100
KEY: D minor (?) The notes on the tongue drum are in D "celtic" minor scale: D3 A3 C4 D4 E4 F4 G4 A4 C5 I have pitched some notes up and down. 
Arrangement: 
Intro: 8 Bars
A section: 9 bars
B section: 8 bars
A section: 12 bars
B section: 8 bars
Outro: 4 bars
