So gut, alleine das Intro... ist wie die Steigerung von Pop Art, Superflat und dann dieser Easy-Ambient-Listening Sound und die Samples, chapeau 👌

A great concept. I was reminded of how I was listening to a meditative youtube video, specifically to relax, and all of a sudden an ad came on. I was using duck duck go, not adblocker plus that time, and it was infuriating to have that come on when I was brining up that video specifically to relax! Espeically infuriating since it was at night and I was listening as I was in bed!

Great, a one step task, on vacation
spend a few days at the baltic sea
i played my guitar through Steinberg UR 22mkII
recorded in aum
added some granular effects
there were actually only two tempi
one slower, one faster

Glitchy Shuffle (disquiet0553)

This started as a generative modular patch run with a varying clock. The results were kinda wallpapery and the tempo shifts not that obvious, I needed something with a steady pulse to give context and contrast. I dug out an old drumloop from a project from 10 years ago which I abandoned cuz I wasn’t happy with the rigidity of the beat. I had the file playing while adjusting the tempo of the modular track. This led to a warbly tape like effect that reminded me of badly wound cassettes where the b-side would faintly bleed through

Temporal Distortion (disquiet0553)

There’s no such things as a free lunch, especially on the internet. 

Ads were always a nuisance, first in Radio, then in TV, now on YouTube. The problem is – and I don’t have to mention that in the Lines community - that other people are making the money, not the artist, unless you’re really popular. If I upload my track to YouTube (it’s Creative Commons), Google will inject at least 2-3 ads and cash in the money without my consent. And I’ll never see a cent of that. 

The idea of injecting ads to break the cycle, as the assignment says, came fast. But it took two days until I had „the product“  ready. It contains Playbox, the awesome Mercury from Cherry Audio, SQ-80, Reaktor and a ton of drums. I also recorded some ads from YouTube and skipped them after the obligatory seconds. Mixing took another half day, so I spent at least 12-18 hours with the assignment. 

I’ve uploaded an ads-free and free to download version on Soundcloud, also.

The Assignment: Record in a steady tempo but break it on occasion.

Lunero - disquiet0553

My submission to the #DisquietJunto 553 with the assignment: Record in a steady tempo but break it on occasion. It's a simple 8-step sequence. Gates from the 5th and 7th step are sent through a Bernoulli gate, which is set to 10%, to the reset intput. So on avarage 1 in 10 times step number 5 and 6 are played and 1 in 100 step 7 and 8. The gate from step 8 is connected to the Stop-input and a cymbel-sound, so after on avarage 100 cycles the piece will end with a crash. Every first step moves the second sequence which moves the bass and the melody and chords with it. The result is a simple tune that would nicely disappear into the background, except every now and then something happens that makes you look up.

Break thet cycle (disquiet0553)

Break That Cycle (disquiet0553)

I haven't posted in a while.
First of all, I modified the MIDI to the specified scale from EDM or something.
Then I used a Chinese heavy metal guitar plugin to make it sound like that, and connected various effectors to it.

What I wanted to express was the ocean!
The ocean is slow unless it's a tsunami, so it's kind of in line with the theme.
The distortion of the guitar sounds like white noise, which represents the sound of waves.
I remember reading a book once that said that the sound of a ship's engine in the sound of waves means that there is something man-made mixed in with nature, and that is the key to ambient music.
I don't like to listen to man-made sounds too loudly in nature (although I don't mind it when I'm in the city).
But no matter how quiet I output my compositions, if the listener turns up the volume, it is meaningless!
So I made the sound of the waves louder, so that the artificial sound is buried in the waves.

Disquiet Junto Project 0554: Cage Chord
The Assignment: Riff on a chord by John Cage.

This project is the third of three that are being done in collaboration with the 2022 Musikfestival Bern, which will be held in Switzerland from September 7 through 11. The topic this year is “unvermittelt,” which is a little tricky to translate. Literally it’s “unmediated,” but it can also mean “sudden,” “abrupt,” or “immediate.”

We are working at the invitation of Tobias Reber (@TobiasReber), an early Junto participant, who is in charge of the educational activities of the festival. This is the fourth year in a row that the Junto has collaborated with Musikfestival Bern.

Select recordings resulting from these three Disquiet Junto projects will be played and displayed throughout the festival.

Step 1: Consider this chord:

E5
A#4
E4
D#4
Db3
C3

If MIDI is of use to you, here is a link to the chord in a MIDI file:

https://disquiet.com/0554-midi

Step 2: You might read up a bit about the source of the chord, the piece “Organ²/ASLSP” by John Cage. Cage desired the piece to be played “As Slow As Possible.” Currently it is being performed in Halberstadt, Germany, on a special organ that will play it for a total of 639 years. It’s been going for 21 years so far, and is at this moment playing the above chord. Read up here:

https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2022-02-04/john-cage-organ-slow-as-possible-halberstadt-germany

Step 3: Produce a loopable drone (duration between one and three minutes) of your own based on that chord.

Note: Submitted drones will be sequenced into one large drone piece to be played at the Cage Room, a pop-up workshop and exhibition space of the festival at Progr, Bern, Switzerland.

Disquiet 0554 - P

Coalition

MM Discos marks its decade-long journey with a heartfelt compilation of over 30 tracks – a tribute to the artists who have defined its past and those who will shape its future. The label's unique identity was forged in the chaotic, all-night sessions at its Erkstrasse 19 basecamp, a freedom that evolved into a philosophy of rejecting genres in favour of pure musical instinct. This anniversary celebrates that "no rules" ethos with a three-volume "sonic tutti-frutti," beginning with a first instalment that rides a spectrum from laid-back grooves to upbeat, Balearic-tinged House rhythms.

As a highlight of the celebratory soirée, Pleasure Voyage's "Puertas Del Cielo" perfectly embodies the label's genre-fluid philosophy. The composition is a beautiful sun-drenched theme, built on a warm, undulating bassline that provides a foundation for ethereal melodies and subtly Latin-inflected percussion. Soaring synth lines evoke a sense of celestial ascent, living up to its title "Gates of Heaven," while intricate textural details and an effortlessly cool groove ensure its dance-floor potency. It’s a sophisticated and immersive listen that confirms the duo's distinctive flair for creating transportive anthems designed for open skies and open minds.

Congratulations to Da Silva & DJ Katah aka Moon & Mann!
