I used two duets from the Disquiet Junto 637 project (see below): „Is still on the line“ by Andreas Kitzmann and 33per (https://soundcloud.com/33per/is-still-on-the-line-duet-with-andreas-kitzmann-disquiet0638) and „Take5“ by Actor Network and tunelight (https://soundcloud.com/tunelight/disquiet0637-2of3-take5-w-actor-network). So I ended up with four collaborators - thank you, Gentlemen! 

First step was Full Blotter, Giorgio Sanchristoforo’s new granulator, to get some pads from the material. Luckily the software treated the tracks as two mono lanes, so I ended up with four distinct pads. 

To get a pulse, I sped up the lovely clicky bassline from Take 5. EQ’ing and getting the levels right did take ages. 

Well, what else? Happy Easter, of course!

Disquiet Junto Project 0639: Path Ways (4 of 3)
The Assignment: Rework musical trios using the constituent parts — one of two ways.

Step 1: In the previous project, we completed musical trios. Project 0638 was the third of three consecutive projects. In the first one, 0636, musicians recorded solos. In the second, 0637, musicians took those 0636 tracks, nudged them to the left side of the stereo spectrum, and then added their own music to the right, forming duets with a hole in the middle. In project 0638, other musicians introduced a third track down the center of the 0637 recordings, completing the trios. You can revisit the music via the blog posts disquiet.com/0636, disquiet.com/0637, and disquiet.com/0638, and you can follow the forking paths through the related Google Drive spreadsheet.

Step 2: The goal of this project is to rework the material that accumulated over the course of the previous three projects. There are two main ways to go about this. One is to simply choose one or more tracks and remix, combine, mash-up, or otherwise transform them. The other is to move on to Step 3.

Step 3: Choose one 0636 track, a solo, that yielded more than one 0638 trio. (These are highlighted in light blue, or maybe it’s teal, in the leftmost column of the spreadsheet.) Trace the various routes that 0636 track took. Perhaps it also led to some 0637 tracks that never went any further. Perhaps there are various 0638 versions based on varied 0637 versions. In any case, record a piece of music that lets the listener experience the branching paths that the original 0636 track took over the course of the three phases of the trios project sequence. Clearly you will be using a linear form to represent variations, so how to achieve that will require some compositional ingenuity. But you’re up to the task.

Tasks Upon Completion:

Label: Include either “disquiet0639remix” (if you follow the loose rules of Step 2) or “disquiet0639paths” (if you follow the more specific rules of Step 3) in the name of your track.

Upload: Post your track to a public account (SoundCloud preferred but by no means required). It’s best to focus on one track (but if you post more than one, clarify which is the “main” rendition).

Share: Post your track and a description explanation at https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0639-path-ways-4-of-3/
