Disquiet Junto Project 0369: Final Solo

I chose:

and:
https://soundcloud.com/337is/national-tennis-centre-melbourne-australia-1989-disquiet0189-tonelayer

Thanks Matt and Leslie!

After finding and layering loops from those two works I thought about how to 'glue' them together and decided that some live Saxophone should do it. I recorded it with intention to get a nice breathy sound that would mix well with the loop from 337is. Found a scale that suited both loops and improvised along with them.... A bit of mixing, EQ, reverb etc and here it is!

Talking to the drone. Chose to plug a mic into modularland, mainly Mutable Instruments Clouds, then out into DOD VGS50 guitar pedal board, then into LogicX. Levels low and noisy yet too late at night to bother fiddling with it too much. Played [https://soundcloud.com/papernoise/kurodama-half-a-duet-disquiet0269] though a couple of times whilst getting it set up, then was happy with the first take, adjusted the levels and added a touch of reverb. 
Thank you Kurodama for the jamming fun!

Into The Other Half - Kurodama & BennDeMole [disquiet0270]

This is an asynchronous collaboration between three musician, each recorded one week apart. Left channel recorded first by encym (https://soundcloud.com/encymlll/first-chair-by-encym-disquiet0315) the right channel second by Nate Trier (https://soundcloud.com/triermusic/they-call-me-the-backwoods-debussy-disquiet0316) then I added the saxophone in the centre.

The harmonic space created by encym and Nate, along with the "liveness" of each recording made a real pleasure to add my part to. Thanks unmet collaborators!

Through The Woods Not Alone [disquiet0317] - encym, Nate Trier & Benn DeMole

Faces

rhythm (disquiet0358)

Disquiet Junto Project 0358: Rhythm + Blue(s)Step 1: Consider the term “rhythm and blues.” Not the genre, just the term.
Step 2: Imagine what you might think “rhythm and blues” meant in terms of music had you never previously heard “rhythm and blues” music.

I got infatuated with Blues when I was a kid (Howling Wolf, John Mayall and Muddy Waters mostly) but back then the term Rhythm and Blues was a bit confusing to me, I remember somebody pointing out that The Who and the Stones were considered as R&B bands at their beginning. The Who R&B? ok...
In my young little head it was more mashed up with soul and funk, Stax and Motown music from the 60’s. 
Anyway, R&B was way far from the “Pop-HipHop” thing they refer to now with that moniker.
So I took all this as a license to submit whatever I’m working on really.
If somehow aliens studying mammals on this part of the universe end up thinking Fats Domino, The Who and Rhianna all play the same style off music, you can count me in (out?).

For this one I went for a 6/4 beat (4+2 unusual for R&B I presume) but used normal instruments for that style:
Electric Guitars (x2)
Wurlitzer piano
Farfissa Organ
Electric Bass
Drums

Sounds more complex than it is actually, it is just a lazy Friday jam.

Last night I thought I'd play some flute over this. Yet tonight, after an amazing day at a vocal/body percussion workshop I used my voice instead. A quick listen to find where my voice sat with the track then this came out fist take.

Trombovocader (with Ethan Hein) [disquiet0368]

I loved the track by Tunnelwater https://soundcloud.com/user-524526704/disquiet0368?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0368 using Ryan Scott Mattingly's track

it evoked someone trapped alone in a decrepit listening station on the edge of the desert during a brutal sandstorm, listening to the fading signal of a guitar on the radio as the storm whipped around outside. I dropped the track into Ableton Live, added some limiting, and then added guitar with reverb, plus EQ to isolate mids (I used an Epiphany Joe Pass model, a wonderfully spooky sounding guitar). The melody line is heavily improvised but inspired by the ghost chords that seem to emerge from the shadows of the underlying tracks.

Juntos en Palmyra (disquiet0369)

I used Disquietude (by gentil & encym) as my "final" piece. I was really moved by it, and hope that I was able to add some finality to it's fragile beauty. I used a kind of reverse string patch in Arturia Pigments and thought the tones sat nicely. It was a pleasure to work with, so many thanks to the original artists.

Together at last, the three of us revolving spoons [disquiet0369] with gentil & bear p-aw

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.
