Disquiet Junto Project 0638: Center (3 of 3)
The Assignment: Complete a trio begun by two other musicians.

As was the case last week, the instructions for this week’s project are fairly detailed, so please read them at disquiet.com/0638.

Deadline: Monday, March 25, 2024, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.

Disquiet Junto Project 0638: Center (3 of 3)

I liked this track by  he_nu_ri (@user-807707609) & mikey_a (@mikey_a)
https://soundcloud.com/mikey_a/both-sides-of-the-river-disquiet0637

I just jammed on top of it with my accordina but it was too much of the three of us, so I split the stereo original, separated he_nu_ri,  mikey_a and myself on 3 tracks (softly panned like the original with mine at centre) and made some very creative use of the delete button, as Eno used to say.

That created some space that I then filled with huge reverbs. I’m afraid I didn’t really honoured the source track on this one, but it is done so I better share it.

Krautrockish
I promise I was thinking on making this a bit Krautrock when I started, doesn’t sound like that now, I guess...

Based on rightward [disquiet0637] by LazenbeeIndustries and John Wright

I just added a 808 kick and played bass. Most satisfying and less time consuming on the lot, but I don’t think it works, a 4th (soloist) part is needed IMHO.

dedicated to the guy in the photo, god bless him..

Krautrockish (with LazenbeeIndustries and John Wright) disquiet0638

I dunno, maybe it's springtime in sunny Paris, but I felt the urge for some old disco vibes. 
So I went for the duo. Lefty Drone, Right English disquiet0637
https://soundcloud.com/skylarkduquesne/lefty-drone-right-english-disquiet0637
by skylark duquensne (David Totten)  and alanblip

I didn’t change the original tracks at all, I behaved this time.
I added a beat, for that 50 years old euro-disco vibe and then jammed on a lead synth that brought this to some sort of proto-disco-floyd.

Four on the floor man, you can’t go wrong…

It was fun.

I heard a lot of duets last week, a lot of good ones. In the end I went with the German Romantic and played SOMA Terra.
thanks @analo & @torsten goerke for your inspiring duet:https://soundcloud.com/analoc/right-beside-you-disquiet0637?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0637&si=6ecc2889c9a2400dbeccda5796ff8c38&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

Whatever you say, Mr Spaghetti [disquiet0638]

Disquiet0638 - Fakeg3nius+Glitcher Ftrg Samplair - EGsquared

This is an asynchronous duet with https://soundcloud.com/dandante and https://soundcloud.com/blaaroed. 

I really enjoyed the Suborbital Hang Glider piece from @tt16tt and @dandante. I hope they forgive me for making the abstract approach of the drone a bit more tangible. I added a bassline with Generate, some strings with with Blisko Viola, metallic noises from Kinetic Metal, and a simple ping with AAS Chromaphone. The additions sit right in the middle of the mix.

Disquiet Junto Project 0638: Center (3 of 3)
The Assignment: Complete a trio begun by two other musicians.

Step 1: This week’s Disquiet Junto project is the third in a sequence that encourages and rewards asynchronous collaboration. This week you will be adding music to a pre-existing track, which you will source from the previous week’s Junto project (disquiet.com/0637). Note that you are finishing a trio: you’re creating the third part of what two previous musicians began, filling the space between them. Please keep this in mind.

Step 2: The plan is for you to record an original piece of music, on any instrumentation of your choice, as a complement to a pre-existing track. First, however, you must select the piece of music to which you will be adding your own music. There are tracks by numerous musicians to choose from. 

(...)

When choosing a track, consider checking out the two previous projects’ discussion threads, as there may be additional information in them that could be of use, such as BPM or key signature:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0637-right-2-of-3/

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0636-left-1-of-3/

Step 3: Record a piece of music, roughly the length of the piece of music you selected in Step 2. Your track should complement the piece from Step 2, and it should be placed dead center between the left and right stereo channels. When composing and recording your part, do not alter the original piece of music at all. To be clear: the track you upload won’t be your piece of music alone; it will be a combination of the track from Step 2 and yours.

Step 4: Also be sure, when done, to make the finished track downloadable, because it may be used by someone else in a subsequent Junto project.

Step 5:  In normal circumstances, Junto projects have a one-track-per-participant limit. However, as with the preceding project that led up to this one, you can contribute more than one track this week. You can do up to three total this time. For your first, you can choose any track from the duets, no matter how many times others may have employed it. If you choose to do a second or third, you should do a track no on else has used yet (it’s understood that between when you select a duet track and finish your trio, someone else may have popped up and used it, which is perfectly fine). Throughout the project I will keep an updated list in this Google Drive document of what has been utilized:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kDorIMT9j_nQQPXACYpMPe4B86T2QD5Xvv98XAOS4UE/edit?pli=1#gid=0

The goal is for many as people as possible to benefit from the experience of being part of an asynchronous collaboration. That, foremost, is the spirit of this project.

Tasks Upon Completion:

Label: Include “disquiet0638” (no spaces/quotes) in the name of your track.

Upload: Post your track to a public account (SoundCloud preferred but by no means required). 

Share: Post your track and a description explanation at https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0638-center-3-of-3/

Discuss: Listen to and comment on the other tracks.

Length: The length is up to you. Stick close to the length of the track yours adds to.

Deadline: Monday, March 25, 2024, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.

The Assignment: Complete a trio begun by two other musicians.

I looked in the sheet for something unused and opted for https://soundcloud.com/xhg/disquiet0637-marsh-bones-factory-with-raincat because of the sheer feeling of reality it had to me. I played different instruments but nothing worked for me. So instead I used old samples, a recording of a turnstile on a train track near Munich and a door that creaked wonderfully in the wind near Assisi, Italy. It seemed to me to fit in wonderfully with the duo's palpable spatiality.

Thank you @AlvaroDeCampos and @blisterpop. Wonderful track you gave me to work one.
As was the case last week, the instructions for this week’s project are fairly detailed, so please read them at disquiet.com/0638 15 (rather than me stuffing them into a post here).

This is the third phase of a three-phase sequence over the course of as many weeks during which, consecutively and asynchronously, musicians build trios together.

You can participate in any or all three of the three projects. If you participated in last week’s project, please note these two things:

    be sure to set your track as downloadable
    to avoid bot issues on Soundcloud, make sure its license is set to allow creative reuse

Also important: In normal circumstances, Junto projects have a one-track-per-participant limit. However, as with the preceding project that led up to this one, you can contribute more than one track this week. The details on that are in Step 5 of the project instructions 9.

This post popped up at disquiet.com/0638 9 (thanks, powers of automation) shortly after 12:10am Pacific Time on Thursday, March 21. (I was asleep at the time.) The email containing those instructions went out around the same time, also automatically, via juntoletter.disquiet.com. (We recently switched over from TinyLetter, because TinyLetter was shut down by its owner, Mailchimp, at the end of last month.) Come morning, after I woke up, I posted the instructions here, and at my Mastodon account, plus Bluesky, Threads, and Instagram, etc. And if you’re on a platform, like Mastodon or Instagram, that uses hashtags, please use the #DisquietJunto tag. Much appreciated.

Six variations in a knot (with @AlvaroDeCampos and @blisterpop) - disquiet0638

🌌 MEET ME IN ETERNITY 🌌

An odyssey beyond time, crafted by SYNTHTOPIA x QVANTVM

This album is a deep, cinematic journey through the cosmos — a meditation on infinity, light, and the eternal resonance of existence. Built from evolving synth pads, warm analog textures, and ethereal orchestral layers, each piece unfolds like a star-born hymn: expansive, transportive, and timeless.

From the shimmering stillness of THE QUIET BETWEEN THE SUNS to the soaring radiance of FIELDS OF STARLIGHT and the transcendental call of ARC OF INFINITY, this is music designed to dissolve boundaries between the human spirit and the infinite universe.

These soundscapes invite higher consciousness, deep reflection, and a sense of home among the stars. It is not just an album — it is a gateway.

✨ Enter the cosmos. Meet me in eternity. ✨

MEET ME IN ETERNITY

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.
