Disquiet Junto Project 0436: Planetary Headspace

Evening, Morning? I recorded using a TASCAM in a basement with an annoying rolling chair over me, I needed a smoke, great Junto time, I recorded getting the cigarette, walking outside, getting Sour Patch Kids from a bowl, smoking and taking Charlie the Chihuahua to the bathroom. I selected the rolling chair, cause it has been driving me bonkers with multiple office chairs rolling above. I took close mouth samples while chewing slowly. I then took the sample and ran it thru Live with the Push slicing it up in sampler in the section with the rolling boosted, played and looped thru 16 bars. I then layered this with the original recording of a cigarette trip to the front porch and back. The windows in all spaces were open.

Wolfin Sour Kids in Denver Disquiet0436

I woke up early and saw this weeks brief. The normal sounds of morning, birdsong and occasional traffic, a nearby train, the occasional buzzing of bees in the garden.  Talking from a nearby garden. Life is all around us even in a time of lockdown (which is becoming less and less adhered to as the government talks of lifting restrictions here in the UK)

I recorded this using my trusty Zoom H4N with wide angle internal mics.

Disquiet0436 7am Friday Morning

Recording the sounds outside the top floor window at 7AM on Friday morning with my DR-05X - minimal processing (EQing only). Mainly birdsong, light distant traffic, and some faraway sounds of the rubbish bins being collected.

The Assignment: Share a recording of your local environment to create a communal soundscape.

This project is a collaboration with the artist and experimental philosopher Jonathon Keats.

Step 1: Make a field recording, indoors or outdoors. Your recording may be of any length. If you make your recording outdoors, be attentive to sounds of nature that are now more audible due to restrictions on human activity during the pandemic. If you are under strict quarantine and cannot go outside, create your soundscape indoors, capturing the domestic sounds that you consider characteristic of your current circumstances.

Step 2: Upload your recording per the standard Junto instructions below.

Step 3: Download field recordings by other Junto members. Play the downloaded tracks in one ear, leaving your other ear open to hear the sounds in your midst. As you listen to the stereo soundscapes, your hearing will be extended, situating you in acoustic environments that you’ll share with other participants.

6 AM Ducks in the Rain was recorded on the balcony of my condo overlooking Lake of the Ozarks (Missouri, USA) using my Zoom H1 placed on a picnic table covered with a tablecloth. I’ve edited out a couple of noticeable clicks that always seem to show up in my Zoom recordings that sound like they come from the device itself as it adjusts to a change in temperature. That’s my theory, anyway. The steady rain on the metal roofs of covered docks below creates the white noise that makes up most of the recording. The mic also picked up the sound of some ducks conversing nearby, possibly the mother duck who is sitting on a nest of eggs that is visible four floors below the balcony. Near the end of the recording our cat Koko appears and inquires about what I’m doing.

Even after listening to it for twenty years now, I am still amazed each time I put on my headphones and cue up Eno & Byrne's "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts".
