For this project I used a recording of a walk in the lovely Swiss mountain village of Ernen. You can hear lots of cow bells, children and a stroller. I cut several parts out of the recording that have wind shear, I then pitched them down and looped them, gradually focusing more on the windy parts. Also I added a Glockenspiel arpeggio. Drawing is based on a mural in Ernen.

Disquiet0632 - Ernen

This week, the prompt for Disquiet Junto 0634, "Bust a Move", asked us to build on a foundation of a piece of classical music heard through a wall or floor.

I chose Schubert's "Trio In E-Flat, Opus 100",  because I am a child of the 80s and The Hunger had a huge influence on me growing up as a babygoth.

I used a physical effect send to route the audio through a chain of guitar pedals, then loop back in to a new audio track in the DAW. I made three new tracks this way, with the pedals tweaked live, each one an interpretation of the source audio. The pedals I used were a Meris Enzo guitar synthesizer, an Eventide H9 Harmonizer, and the famous Walrus Audio ARP-87. 

NOTE: Headphones are recommended as a first line of defense against abduction. As a rule, Schubert never wore headphones. And we all know what happened to him.

Recorded at NOSIGNAL Multimedia Labs in The Shambles, Chicago USA

Wide-Arching - for John Hinks (naviarhaiku536)

Recorded, mixed and mastered on 25 Apr 2024 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa. This was also Day 1364 of the 100 Day Project.

Process notes - 

I first thought of scraping my iPhone against a stone. Then, I free-associated “stone” with “pizza stone” and then “LP.” Right after that I thought to capture some LP surface noise, and came right around to using one of Yoko’s albums…so…not the music but the physical object. I looked around my landlady’s backyard and found a slightly mysterious pile of stones and I was off.

I made 2 sets of four short recordings. Mid-way, I decided to get "elemental" with it, too.

- Two recordings were outdoor "air" recordings, including some dogs.
- One other recording was scraping my iPhone against a stack of stones.
- Indoors, I recorded the kitchen sink (water, and yes everything including the kitchen sink) and also lighting matches I keep for my barbecue (fire).
- The second set of recordings was of the inner groove noise from my copy of Yoko's Fly double album. The last recording included switching briefly to the radio (white noise) and then my own struggling to get the two disks back into the jacket.

For this, I used similar methods, (and an Ableton Live template), I’d used for Disquiet Juntos 0530, 0605, 0606, 0609 & 0616, all which reference “minimally viable music” as we did in 0530, my first Junto. This included many Ableton Live effects devices and some Max for Live devices by Amazing Noises.

For what it is is worth, Junto 0530 also was the genesis of this album - [Something That Once Was (Free)](https://music.blisterpop.com/album/something-that-once-was-free). Eventually, this piece and 0605, 0606, 0609 & 0616 will all be worked into the follow-up.
