Disquiet Junto Project 0326: Wave Turntable
In collaboration with composer Danny Clay, make music for his exhibit with artist Jon Fischer using only sine waves and turntable surface noise.

Step 1: Tracks in this project will be played as part of a free event in San Francisco at the McEvoy Foundation for the Arts (mcevoyarts.org 2) on Saturday, April 7, 2018, for an exhibit by composer Danny Clay (dclaymusic.com 7) and artist Jon Fischer (feather2pixels.com). The project was developed in collaboration with Clay. Before proceeding, consider the sort of music that might be conducive as partially-heard, partially-background music for an art event.

Step 2: Compose a short piece of music using only sine waves and the surface sounds of vinyl played on a turntable. Those two sources are inspirations for the Clay/Fischer exhibit. (The cover image to this project shows some of Fischer’s turntable art.)

The wild geese take flight (Naviarhaiku225)

The preexisting track that I used was https://soundcloud.com/becks/ambient-tape. 
The PO-33 was used to record the samples and for the composition too. I used the internal microphone which is quite terrible with an external low pass filter to keep the noise out. Puredata was used for some granular sound  and the final noise was recorded into a 4 track cassette.
