As per the updated Junto FAQ, i include this statement on compositional approach
	My capacity for enjoying ambient mixes has been severely harmed by the three Juntos to date, which have been chock full of depressingly good ambiance to the tune of several hours' worth, so the only a priori goal i set myself in attacking this one was that it be hard, loud and dirty.
	no, wait. fast, hard and dirty.
	
	but then i fell in love with this loop i made (completely by hand in audacity! no SuperCollider!) by streching all the samples to the same length, condensing the result to 6.6 seconds (i don't know why anymore), appending a reverse copy, and downpitching an octave.
	So the return to my heavy metal days will have to wait for a future Junto.
	
	
	


Nearly There (Disquiet0004-mfischer nearly n4tural condensed milk Remix)

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.



:: testimonial ::

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):

:: Instructions ::

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.

Those are my beats (for aesthetic reasons i ended up adding a \stretch of 2, so everything's twice as long; bar length 2 * 9.8125 seconds).

Disquiet Junto Project 0050: -…….–.-..-…-
This week’s project explores Morse Code for its rhythmic content. The instructions are as follows: Select a word or phrase. Encode that word or phrase by the Morse method. Record a rhythmic foundation in which the dash is represented by a long beat and the dot by a brief one. Use that rhythmic foundation as a loop for the length of your track, at the speed you desire — speed can vary over the length of the recording. Record accompanying drone/melodic material that takes the underlying rhythm as its compositional foundation.

Trönte & all n4tural: Reutels en Keulen na Kerstmis (hymnal)

for @Disquiet Junto Project 0052: Bump Foot CC 

i used the first 20 seconds of all three, because it didn't seem fair to the Bongo otherwise. 

thanks to Bump Foot label and the artists for an enjoyable sunday afternoon and series of mistakes and misunderstandings between brain, fingers and supercollider that led here.

1. The first 20 seconds of "Bongo" off the Aguas Tonicas album Los Desposeídos: http://archive.org/download/foot212/foot212_09-aguas_tonicas-bongo.mp3 
2. "Broken Robots" off the Gridline album Red Music: http://archive.org/download/foot211/foot211_03-gridline-broken_robots.mp3 
3. "The Cat in the Ocean" off the Pics Frunk album Low Voltage: http://archive.org/download/foot206/foot206_01-pics_frunk-the_cat_in_the_ocean.mp3 

This Disquiet Junto project was done as a celebration of the efforts of the Bump Foot netlabel, and to support its employment of licenses that allow for derivative works. These Junto netlabel remix projects are intended to promote reworking as itself a means of music distribution. This track is comprised of three pieces of music, all originally released on Bump Foot: "Bongo" off the Aguas Tonicas album titled Los Desposeídos, "Broken Robots" off the Gridline album titled Red Music, and "The Cat in the Ocean" off the Pics Frunk album titled Low Voltage.
