Disquiet Junto Project 0101: Analog Binary

This weeks disquiet task landed here Friday morning - went for a run and thought about how to go about it this week. Decided to take the background for the word Hyperloop literally and build the track around my idea of what a hyperloop might sound like - not necessarily from inside the cabins - but you´ll get the picture. 
The sounds for the track are all fieldrecordings - some from an assignment I had this spring, where I got to record in a laboratory. The central  accelerating sound is made from two recordings of a centrifuge - one electromagnetic and one ambient - a bunch of electromagnetic recordings was used for a the little strange bleeps and noises. The first voice came from the Airtrain at JFK Airport and the other from the subway stopping at Wall St. hence the title of the thing.

Disquiet Junto Project 0086: Hyperloop

This week’s project may have the simplest, and broadest, instruction in all of the 86 consecutive weeks that the Disquiet Junto has been running. Thanks to the musician Cinchel of Chicago, Illinois, for helping to prompt this idea. The project has just one instruction:

The title of your next single is “Hyperloop.” Now, record that single 

Deadline: Monday, August 26, 2013, at 11:59pm wherever you are.

Length: Your track should have a duration of between 1 and 5 minutes.

Information: Please when posting your track on SoundCloud, include a description of your process in planning, composing, and recording it. This description is an essential element of the communicative process inherent in the Disquiet Junto.

Title/Tag: Include the term “disquiet0086-hyperloop” in the title of your track, and as a tag for your track.

Download: Please consider employing a license that allows for attributed, commerce-free remixing (i.e., a Creative Commons license permitting non-commercial sharing with attribution).

“disquiet0086-hyperloop”JFK-Wall street in about 2 minutes

Decided to keep this weeks Junto simple, so I recorded three instances of switching on / off 
First sound to be heard is my ceiling fan
2nd. is my electric kettle 
3rd. is the on off switch on my electric piano 
Duplicated each sound onto two different tracks panned each hard L & R timestreched one side of each "stereo" image slightly to create a phase shift kinda beat...then I thought of Mandela and wanted to create an uprising towards the end, so I duplicated everything a couple of times and displaced the new tracks a little more with long fades....to let the whole thing end with just two beats - it all falls back to the beginning... coming and going on your own.


Disquiet Junto Project 0101: Analog Binary

Record the audio of three objects in your home or workplace that have on/off switches. Capture the unique sound of them being turned on and off. For each of the switches, record several seconds of this on/off action so you can create loops of a steady pace. Then create an original piece of music that employs phase shifts — that is, in which the tiny distinctions between loops create noticeable patterning as time progresses. You can use some light processing, but the sense of "switch-ness" of the source audio should never be lost.

Deadline: Monday, December 9, 2013, at 11:59pm wherever you are.

Length: Your track’s length should be between two and five minutes.

I recorded 3 switches (Light/Coffee Machine/HiFi) then I sampled them and I applied some reverbs, delays, resonators, while playing with the samples. It was quite fun ...

LINEAR BELLS - Disquiet0101-Analogbinary - HiFi Furry

The three sounds are ones I had recorded a few years ago at a bakery I was making bread at. One is a Vitamix blender, the other is a 30qt mixer, and the last one I can't remember. 
I only added a little effect to the vitamix: Bode Frequency Shift. 
The others I left raw. In the spirit of this assignment, I used fade in fade out, through out the piece.

Life/Death Machine (disquiet0101-analogbinary)

I left work early as I have a ton of personal time to take before the end of the year and then I recorded my light switches with a Zoom H2 recorder. After importing the recordings I built a small dub send/return network to apply lightly. The deep droning sounds are created through micro loops one of the more interesting switches in my new apartment is the one that controls the garbage disposal after introducing the garbage disposal loop I began micro looping it to create a granular sounding pad and then towards the end layered several of them all in different spans of time off the original loop.

Hope you enjoy.

disquiet0101-analogbinary

Recorded three sounds as directed: A microwave, a kitchen sink (not strictly a "switch" but it does go on and off), and a small battery-powered hand drill.

In Ableton Live, loaded the sounds and made a few permutations of each, both in length and pitch.  They are brought into and out of the piece throughout.

Switcheroo [disquiet0101-analogbinary]

"This week’s project is a sound journal, an audio history of the past year. You will select a different audio element to represent each of the past 12 months of 2013. You will then select one 5-second segment from each of these audio elements. Then you will stitch these dozen 5-second segments together in chronological order to form 1 single 1-minute track. There should be no overlap or gap between segments; they should simply proceed from one to the next."

I chose excerpts of 12 commercially unreleased tracks and recordings I made during 2013.  

As I have said in the past - "I make way too much electronic music."

Recordings are:

0:00 to 0:05 - "Galloping A Little" - a variation on the crazy 18 minute track "Galloping Again" from my album Crackle And Drift - I owe a significant debt to Fenn O'Berg on that one.

0:05 to 0:10 - "Ghosts of the Woods" - it goes on like that for 13 minutes.

0:10 to 0:15 - "Losting (version 5)" - poor recording but an interesting effect.  A couple variations of Losting will be released on an EP in very early 2014.  They're different than this, and very beautiful.

0:15 to 0:20 - "Snowflakes (version 3)" - If I find something I like, I keep working and reworking it.  The original version of Snowflakes will be released on an EP in early 2014.

0:20 to 0:25 - "EBG" - stands for electronic bluegrass.  I was messing with some blues loops in Samplr and it ended up kind-of bluegrass-like.  Interesting, but I won't be releasing that.

0:25 to 0:30 - me testing sound levels when Jon Harnish and I recorded in June at EEC in Iowa City.

0:30 to 0:35 - "Hollows" - an edited track from the same session with Jon.

0:35 to 0:40 - "Seven Sea" - Jon and I making magic happen live at EEC.

0:40 to 0:45 - Jon talking to Stephanie while I do a little demo of my iPad controlling Ableton Live.

0:45 to 0:50 - an untitled sketch from August 25th.  My archives are filled with this sort of stuff.

0:50 to 0:55 - "Laundromat" - a finished track that is waiting around and I'm unsure about releasing.

0:55 to 1:00 - "Assistance" - a Samplr-based remix of loops I used in my 2004 track "Adventitious", which is very heavily blues-based.  This will eventually be released, unless I can make something even better based on the same recordings.

Picture of the Soundcloud merch was taken by me and is via Instagram.  Soundcloud sent a nice care package this summer.  The t-shirt was excellent, a fine quality fabric from American Apparel.

2013- disquiet0104-audiojournal2013

This was a lot of fun. What a crazy trip this year has been. It started out in Haiti (where the second sound clip is from). After that I headed across the U.S. landing in Alaska for a gig at a lodge. Then I spent some time in Utah and California, before heading home (to Maine). Over the course of this year I have had one split/collab release, I've been on 6 different compilations, and submitted work to countless Disquiet Junto Projects. 2013 has probably been one of my most fruitful years. And here I had thought all this travel would hinder my creative work.

Month 13th [disquiet00104-audiojournal2013]

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.
