Description: So many choices and such great pieces! My finally decided on alanblip's "leftydrone" which I thought would go well with a conversation that I recorded from a shortwave radio. I removed the static and duplicated a few key phrases, but otherwise left it as is, aside from a bit of reverb and a few contributions from Meng Qi's beguiling Wing Pinger.

BND (Duet with Noodle Twister).disquiet0637

I used Tristan Louth-Robins  (@red_robin) guitar track as a basis for this. 

https://soundcloud.com/red_robin/disquiet_junto_0636-epochs-left-1-of-3-72-bpm

I added electric bass, playing a quite standard bass line and some harmonics.

This still sounds like a "basic track", hope somebody has an idea to complete this next week.
This collaboration between two austral guys is called Australopithecus.

I did alter the original to suit my taste, I added an intro (copy paste form the original's first bars) 'cause Tristan's track started a bit abruptly. And then added the coda using an Ecophlex tape delay simulation. My best contribution to the track  if you ask me.
So , yeah, I didn't follow rule number 3 "When composing and recording your part, don’t alter the original piece of music at all" so shoot me!

My soft R panned synth track (a soloist impro using a mono lead on AAS Ultra Analog) over his L panned original.

I improvised over 6 tracks from last week to see what happened on "first take" , decided to keep 3 for the second week.
Today, while choosing just 2 to share here, I decided to keep this one, even if I didn't develop nor edit my take I thinks it's nice to have a pure 2 synth duet and I like his basic track (reminds me of Penguin Cafe Orchestra's "...Found Harmonium" track) and my impro as as good as I can get, it is rambling  but I am  really happy with of it.

I interpreted his title as "I'm Plexus" before realizing that  implexus was a thing...
Too late, my track was already titled "We'r Plexus"...

WERPLEXUS - disquiet0637 w/tunelight

I improvised on the track of Daniel Diaz https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz/live-bass-soundscape-disquiet0636.
release date:14/03/2024

Semantic Field- Daniel Diaz - Euclidean~~~ (disquiet0637)

Built upon 33per's "(Rock the) Firebells" piece: https://soundcloud.com/33per/firebells

This instrument made of fireballs immediately made me think of the two organ pipes I have in my studio. I took them outside and played them with a shop vac. A bit noisy, but there it is.

Added two elements to 33per's track, both are made from samples of the lowest organ pipe. Left lots of empty space.

As the original track is stereo and makes use of that, my mix is also stereo with my parts layered on. I have a version with hard panning if you prefer.

Dropped his .wav file into Granulator 3 in Ableton 12 then played some notes into the track while listening to the original track. Notes were an octave lower than original track and panned to the right.

Repet (disquiet0637) — with caustic_gates

It’s been a rough and exhausting week, so the soothing guitar chords from Torsten Goerke (https://soundcloud.com/torstengoerke) instantly hit my sweet spot (Gruß nach Dresden!).

I extracted the MIDI notes via Ableton, added a granular reverb to it, and played a bit with the pitches. As the guitar line was a bit short, I doubled the part. Also, I added a shortwave radio segment to it.

Disquiet Junto Project 0637: Right (2 of 3)
The Assignment: Record the second third of an eventual trio.

While this is the second part of a three-part project, you can participate in one, two, or all three of the parts, which will occur over the course of three consecutive weeks, starting last week. 

Step 1: This week’s Disquiet Junto project is the second in a sequence intended to encourage and reward asynchronous collaboration. This week you’ll be adding music to a pre-existing track, which you will source from the previous week’s Junto project (disquiet.com/0636). Note that you aren’t creating a duet — you’re creating the second third of what will eventually be a trio. Important: Leave space for what is yet to come.

Step 2: The plan is for you to record a short and 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 (47 as of last count). 

To select a track, you can listen through all those and choose one, or simply look around and select, or you can come up with a random approach to sifting through them.

It is strongly encouraged that you look through the discussion thread for the previous project on the Lines forum because many tracks include additional contextual information there:
https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0636-left-1-of-3/

Step 3: Record a short 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 leave room for an eventual third piece of music. When composing and recording your part, don’t alter the original piece of music at all, except to pan the original fully to the left if it hasn’t been panned left already. In your finished audio track, your new part should be panned fully to the right. 

To be clear: the track you upload won’t be your piece of music alone; it will be a combination of the track you selected in Step 2 and yours.

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

Step 5: You can contribute more than one track this week. In normal circumstances, Junto projects have a one-track-per-participant limit. You can do two this time. For the second, it’s appreciated if you try to work with a solo that no one else has used yet. 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.

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

Deadline: Monday, March 18, 2024, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.

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.
