3636.TERANA - PALASS BY ZOHRA BAI G.C.4.13191

This is just a simple ambient solo using the Buchla Music Easel and Christopher H.M Jacques "Sleepwalker" patch for the Zoia. Hopefully it will be of some use to someone for the trio project.

This is the first part of a 3-part collaboration for the Disquiet Junto. All the sounds used in this basic rhythm track (85bpm) are from a recent session where the numerous noises a bass guitar makes were recorded using a contact mic on the body of the bass rather than through the normal pickups.

A pelican, living as a fresco on the facade of a house, far from its natural habitat. He dreams of getting away from the traffic, into nature.

This track has a meaning and a raison d'être of its own - but is intended as first part of an asynchronous trio as proposed by the Disquiet Junto Project 0591:

The Loneliest Pelican (Disquiet0591)

A groove in Dm @ 104 bpm played on a mahogany guild parlour guitar with a figure overdubbed. A foundation on which to ground your energy for the long struggle ahead.

Disquiet0697 - First Third

Solo ronroco, 2 microphones, a great sounding room, some convolution reverb added.

This is  a simple idea I've been practising today, recorded Thursday 8th may 2025 at noon, first and only take.

Ronroco Lullaby (disquiet0697)

improvisation with ableton, many sources processed using soundthread for composer's desktop project

Live Set 06/26/2025 @resident_electronicmonthly

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0707: Chain of Practice. The Assignment: Make music from how you make music. This project is the third of three that are being done by the Disquiet Junto in collaboration with the 2025 Musikfestival Bern, which will be held in Switzerland from September 3 through 7.

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0707 discussion thread on Lines:

Recorded myself speaking the following sentence using a Tascam DR-100mkIII: “I try to create music by mindfully listening to what’s happening around me, as well as to what the subconscious parts of my mind are trying to say”. 

I took the recording and heavily processed it, mainly using Morphagene on the modular and the Fieldtone Weaver effects pedal. Assembled the tracks, as well as the original recording, into Ableton Live. From there – I sliced, sampled, mangled, and added effects till I ended with something I was mostly satisfied with. The repetitive guitar-like sequence was created using a sliced sample transformed in Ableton’s Simpler instrument with some spectral effects. 

Hopefully, this piece reflects that idea stated in the opening sentence. This was challenging and fun. Thank you, I’m glad I was able to participate in these Musikfestival Bern projects again this year.

Disquiet0708 - Loulou

I started the response to this haiku, but putting an image of the text into Metasynth to create sequences of sound using various custom sample instruments. A very quick and happy process ,one 90minute train trip, hope its a worthwhile listen.

Temple Figures(NaviarHaiku321)

“Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” has been covered countless times in the more than 150 years it’s been around.  Its history carries it back to pre-civil war days with some scholars believing that the song is a portrayal of a child being separated from parent after a slave auction.  It has been a song of sorrow and triumph for many, being used in weddings, masses, and funerals.  This particular recording was borne in 2018 out of frustration with the border crisis.  It seemed wrong to sell such a thing, so today felt like a good opportunity to set it out.

Naviar is a music community and label. Through regular publications, open projects and events, we explore the connection between experimental music and traditional Japanese poetry.

To join the Haiku challenge, visit https://www.naviarrecords.com/about/naviar-haiku

I am a human animal & through my creative practices seek to connect to the flow of life to let my innate intuition guide me before my logical mind controls me. To undo or at least side-step some of my cultural conditioning so the spirits of the place I am in can express through me. This  forest I am in, the rock I sit on beside this stream, the footpath below my feet, this vast planet we all live upon. The natural world so often unconsidered, ignored, I aim to give it some voice.
