LOOPDIGGERS SUNDAY ROULETTE NUMBER 118 - KAT'S KRATES

LOOPDIGGERS CHALLENGES

BETTER KRATE THAN NEVER (LOOPDIGGERS SUNDAY ROULETTE N°118)

Usually when I try to make a piece of music, I set out with a rough goal. For Disquiet 600 it was “Ska” (ridiculous and I instantly got off tracks), for this prompt it was “light summer jam”. Alas, the numbers were against me, so it became more of a mood piece.

I recycled the clarinet recordings of Disquiet 599, loaded them into iDensity and rolled a dice for each recording. I applied the numbers to granular density, length and speed. Because high numbers led to a dominant, dense, high pitched sound, I applied a stutter effect to all numbers above 4, to sort of even the odds a bit. I did a live recording by varying the volume of the six tracks a little.

The result reminds me a bit of Windy & Carl’s song “Dedications to Flea”, which includes a field recording of the musicians walking their dog (in my track, I “walk myself” by just breathing through the clarinet).

The project was inspired in part by recent correspondence with Junto participant Robert Precht. More to come in that regard.

Disquiet0601 - Ode To Windy And Carl

LOOPDIGGERS SUNDAY ROULETTE NUMBER 137 / GINO 9

Words:

In the quiet recesses of her thoughts, Sylvia stumbled upon a revelation that would unravel the fabric of her existence. It wasn't a sudden epiphany, but, more, a gradual realization that the locus of her pleasure lay hidden within the confines of her nasopharynx.

At first, she dismissed it as an odd quirk of her anatomy, a peculiar facet of her being. Yet, as days turned to weeks, months and years, Sylvia found herself delving deeper into the enigma that was her newfound source of delight.

Eventually she questioned the very essence of pleasure, wondered if her friends felt the same, and pondered the possibility that the entire world secretly shared in this clandestine delight - just past the depths of their nasal fossae.

In the twilight of introspection, Sylvia's imagination toyed with the notion of extraterrestrial interference. Could cosmic rays be the ethereal messengers, beaming signals directly to her mesolimbic system?

Was she unwittingly part of an experiment, nothing more than a plaything subjected to such vast overstimulation that it verged upon rapturous and morbid termination?

The boundaries of reality blurred as Sylvia explored the labyrinthine corridors of her pharyngeal recess. Her days became a symphony of internal sensations, eventually finding pleasure in no other form. 

But even as Sylvia tiptoed on the precipice of ecstasy, the question of her mortality lingered. Could this peculiar connection to pleasure be the prelude to an inevitable demise?

Were the cosmic forces that orchestrated her pleasure also the architects of her mortality? Had she been chosen to demonstrate the catastrophic outcome of perpetual pleasure?

Sylvia marveled at the cosmic dance within her. She embraced her new destiny, for though she was but a singular thread, woven into the tapestry of existence, that thread fed like a Möbius strip directly back to Ms. Sylvia Rosenmüller’s nasopharynx... Pharynx.

Disquiet Junto Project 0620: Beat Accrual Accrual
The Assignment: Turn someone’s slow-build beat into a finished track.

Step 1: In the previous project, people built beats that accrue slowly over time. Familiarize yourself with the instructions at disquiet.com/0619 5.

Step 2: Several of the musicians who participated last week have allowed their tracks to be reused for this project. The majority are in this playlist. If you’d like your track from the previous project included this week, just get in touch and let me know.


For this test I used 2 pieces from the previous compilation:
1) GoingModular - Disquieting Polyrhythm
2) fakeg3nius - [disquiet0619] Rhythm
 I was particularly fascinated by the loop, which with very few notes and chords manages to create this suspended sensation of strong melancholy and, at the same time, of hope. On the other hand, the response, dry and peremptory, of the phrasing and timbre of the drums. I added, at the beginning and end of the piece, some "disturbance" lines, always rhythmic.
