Disquiet Junto Project 0476: IAH Forecast

Tutto il Tempo/All the Time

'...alle volte voli alle volte cadi sembra la stessa cosa cambia il finale ed il bruciore tra le mani perché nell'attimo che cadi hai tutto il tempo di guardare hai tutto il tempo di capire di vedere dove sei di vedere che ci sei.....

e nell’attimo che cadi tutto scorre e non hai più confini. E forse doveva andare così, bisognava volare, bisognava cadere per sentire oltre, per andare oltre. Poi cos’è lo spazio? Il vuoto che sta fuori, quello che sta dentro di noi e come lasciarlo lì, senza colmarlo per dargli senso e dimensione.
mi sono girata, non ti ho più visto. Ho guardato la terra franare e sono saltata. Eri ancora là.

… at times you fly and at times you fall, it feels the same but the ending changes … your burning hands … because the moment you fall you have all the time to look at things, all the time to understand and see where you are, to see you are there, still …

and the moment you fall, everything flows, limits disappear. And maybe it had to be this way, we had to fly and fall, to feel beyond, go beyond. And in the end what’s space? The outer void and the inner one and how to leave it there, empty, to shape it and make sense of it.
I turned around, I didn’t see you. I watched the earth sliding down under my feet and I jumped. You were there, still.'

**Production Notes**

This is a remix of Disquiet Junto piece Policing the Dock ([https://soundcloud.com/zoundsabar/policing-the-dock-disquiet0474]), an asynchronous collaboration by Zoundsabar ([https://soundcloud.com/zoundsabar/]), Chaonaut ([https://soundcloud.com/chaonaut]) and Dave Gibbs ([https://soundcloud.com/david-l-gibbs])

First I extracted four-bar loops from the original source. Second, I treated them in the Kontakt Ensemble „Cycles“  from Slater & Ash, which is perfect if you want pulses that can go on a grid. Third it was arranging way many bits and finding some parts that could form a melody, which took at the longest. Lastly I added two shakers and some simple drums. 

Normally, it would sit there for a week, but as it’s the Disquiet Junto, the piece has to go tonight. Oh, and the intro reminded me of the chase sequence in detective story, hence the name.

**Disquiet Junto Project 0475: Low End (4 of 3)**

The Assignment: Remix a trio by doing forensics on its component parts.

Step 1: This week will involve remixing. The past three weeks, we’ve produced a large number of trios. These have been the result of a sequence of steps: first someone made a solo, then someone else turned it into a duet, and then someone else added a third element, making a completed work in the form of a trio. This week you will be remixing one of these trios, which you will source from the previous week’s Junto project (disquiet.com/0475).

Step 2: First, you must select the piece of music you will remixing. There are over 65 tracks in all to choose from, 62 as part of this playlist:

https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0474

And these four others. Consider the first to be number 63, and then in sequence to number 66:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0474-police-action/41007/54

https://sevenism.bandcamp.com/track/fog-in-the-chanel-continent-cut-off

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0474-police-action/41007/38

https://prrk-industries.bandcamp.com/track/follow-the-drummer

To select a track, you can listen through all that (warning: it’s a lot) and choose one, or you can use a random number generator. (Note: it’s fine if more than one person uses the same original track as the basis for their piece.)

Step 3: The simply stated goal is to remix the trio resulting from your selection process in Step 2. However, it is strongly encouraged that you locate the duet and the solo on which the trio is founded, and that you then employ those three tracks in your work. (In past projects like this one, some musicians have essentially extracted the other half of the duet by “removing” the solo from it, and done the same with the trio versus the duet.)

Step 4: As with last week, you can contribute more than one track this week. You can do up to two total. If you choose to do a second, you should preferably try to use a duet track that no one else has used yet. The goal is for many as people as possible to benefit from the experience of being part of an asynchronous collaboration. After a lot of detailed instruction, that is the spirit of this project.

Chase At The Docks [disquiet0475]

I sat down at my computer shorty after 9pm UK time. I was thinking of making some music but wasn't sure what to work on... I have a few things I am working on but nothing lept out at me and demanded my attention. An email pops up... Disquiet Junto 0476. 
It's been ages since I took part and this seemed perfect... 
I went with the flow with this one... I went with some foggy sounding synth and pulled out an old field recording from the A11 dual carrageway by the Norfolk / Suffolk border. I let the field recording play and just improvised some synth at once over the top. I recorded that in 1 take and then went to the arrangement. 
I added a drum rack - an effect on the whole thing... making a nice dubby slow rhythm. It picks up a level or two and I added some other elements of synth and ambience. It was quick and simple to make. This was a good fun experiement to do.  

This weeks instructions are as follows;

Forecast [disquiet0476]

I lived in Houston for 9 months in 1997.  Lived and worked on Westheimer Rd.  I worked near River Oaks at a tech startup.  My wife worked somewhat nearby on Greenway Plaza at what is now Invesco.

The food in Houston was excellent.  One time, Dusty Hill from ZZ Top was behind us in line at a BBQ joint and ordered "a quart of jambalaya".  Yes, he was dressed like he was on stage.  I thought it was the perfect Texas moment.  Although a close second was going out with Ann's co-workers to somebody's horse farm in the country and one her co-workers rode a horse backwards very fast.  Nice people.

There should be more cars on whatever road this is.  I remember the traffic was crazy.  And the air often smelled of gas, the result of being close to oil refineries.

This track is a combination of several pieces of mine:  Aleodeology's "Time Travel Destination in the Past", "Simulated Gravity", "Aleodeological Travel", and "Empty Interstate Due to Microaggressions", along with my side band Vibrating Wires' "The Long Drive Out", "The Path to REM Sleep", and "Southwestern Desert" - and some field recordings of rain that I recorded.

Westheimer(disquiet0476)

This week's junto was to make a track inspired by the image - so I put the image on screen while I worked at the modular, and this sort of spy-drama come Berlin school thing appeared.

HiRise(Disquiet0476)

**Production Notes**

I live in the city center, and I hate street noise. Wherever I go, I use earbuds to listen to something, be it a podcast, an audio book, or music. I try to separate myself from the noise, but this Disquiet Junto reminded me to do otherwise. 

The image for this week’s Junto is amazing. The melancholy sucked me right in: the mist, the noise, the small rooms, the parking lot, that all made total sense. 

So the "Music for Distant Airports" approach seemed right.

I chose a field recording of a highway and let it play throughout the whole piece with some volume changes. The rest was made with Norns, Moog Matriarch, and the Arturia Easel plugin.

Soap Bubbles [disquiet0476]

As I've just finished binge watching Mindhunter on Netflix, it's probably not surprising that it and the atmospheric image fused in my mind and the two became the inspiration for this track.
Done almost entirely using the Korg Wavestate, except for the crackles, which was Arturia's CMI V through Vallhalla Supermassive.

The Fog Of Doubt (disquiet0476)

I hadn't been aware of Disquiet Junto until yesterday morning, when I saw the attached image and the words "This is the cover of your next image". Challenge accepted.

This was recorded in Logic pretty quickly... I started with a grungy texture bed, to fit that murky fog, and I wasn't really intending to do much more. But then I experimented with a booming kick drum, which naturally required some tinkling hi hats. That, along with the image of traffic, encouraged a bit more motion from a bouncing arpeggiator.

Next up a big brass swell, very slowly dialling up the treble, and a quite nasty synth through a guitar amp with tremolo.

To top it all off and be a little literal, I added some found sound. In this case, I found it among Logic's included library of atmospheric sounds. It's cold out, and I don't feel like hanging around on a busy street holding a microphone.

Everything drenched in varying amounts of reverb, and a lot of the treble has been rolled back. (see 'fog' above.)
