Using https://soundcloud.com/gahlord/disquiet-tidepowerpods-fpo-wclick by @gahlord I added three layers of improvised electronic drum kit percussion tracks on Logic Pro in response to the bass, quantized them to 1/8 and added reverb, phaser and delay to give it a dub echo kind of response. Was really handy to have the tempo available in doing this.

For Disquiet Junto 0592 I chose Alyce_Santoro's "Abstraction Cactus Flower." I added an improvised solo guitar to Alyce's flute trio. As Alyce wrote "all are welcome to use this piece as a basis for improvisation," I very much appreciate the Georgia O'Keefe quote Alyce mentioned, and find it resonant with the music here: "Details are confusing. It is only by selection, by elimination, by emphasis, that we get at the real meaning of things.”

A second entry for this week's Disquiet Junto, this one using Fake Genius's lovely Neapolitan sketch "Quietude" as the seed. I added guitar (roughly) thinking about the kind of thing Johnny Marr does on Pet Shop Boys tracks. Very curious to see if anyone picks this up to complete ... not really that many pop songs around the Junto? Fake Genius's description: "some street sounds and kids playing soccer (and calling each other names). On top there is a simple DX7 pad with a progression in Gm, with a sparse beat (no kick, no snare) at a 130 BPM."

This week's #disquietjunto prompt was to record the second third of an asynchronous trio.

I fired up a random number generator on Friday, and the number it returned was 1, so I downloaded Andreas Kitzmann's beautiful and atmospheric track (https://soundcloud.com/andreas-kitzmann-27370936/disquiet0591)

I listened to it on Friday and could immediately imagine some accordion or similar reedy tones playing over it.

I wasn't able to get to work on it until Monday, so I settled for using my melodica (surely my neighbors won't mind), which I think worked pretty well. 

The first two phrases the melodica plays are melodies I heard in my head while listening to Andreas' track, and the rest imitate phrases from the source track (though sometimes repeating them starting on a different pitch for a little flavor).

Happy Andreas shared his creativity, and I look forward to hearing what part might come next!

Two Of Three (disquiet0592)

The Assignment: Record the second third of an asynchronous trio.

For this assignment I recorded https://soundcloud.com/sonic-search/eden into tracks 1 & 2 of a 4-track recorder (a Tascam Porta02), and then recorded a sequence that I programmed on the OP-Z into tracks 3 & 4, while playing with it live. I loved the organic feel of "Eden", and the rigidity of the OP-Z is a nice addition to it, IMHO.
