The tiered doll stand.

Like Santoka and Seisensui, Kawahigashi Hekigoto (1873-1937) was an important advocate of the free verse haiku.
Besides being a writer and critic of haiku, Hekigoto was a literary scholar, noh dancer, art critic, calligrapher, social commentator, and mountain climber.

Disquiet Junto Project 0639: Path Ways (4 of 3)
The Assignment: Rework musical trios using the constituent parts — one of two ways.

These instructions are fairly lengthy. Please read carefully. Originally this trios sequence of projects would have ended with the completion of the trios after three consecutive weeks. However, those went particularly well, so let’s see if we can push it a little further.

Please note: You needn’t have participated in any of the prior Junto projects to participate in this one.

Step 1: In the previous project, we completed musical trios. Project 0638 was the third of three consecutive projects. In the first one, 0636, musicians recorded solos. In the second, 0637, musicians took those 0636 tracks, nudged them to the left side of the stereo spectrum, and then added their own music to the right, forming duets with a hole in the middle. In project 0638, other musicians introduced a third track down the center of the 0637 recordings, completing the trios. You can revisit the music via the blog posts disquiet.com/0636 1, disquiet.com/0637 2, and disquiet.com/0638 2, and you can follow the forking paths through the related Google Drive spreadsheet 9.

Step 2: The goal of this project is to rework the material that accumulated over the course of the previous three projects. There are two main ways to go about this. One is to simply choose one or more tracks and remix, combine, mash-up, or otherwise transform them. The other is to move on to Step 3.

Step 3: Choose one 0636 track, a solo, that yielded more than one 0638 trio. (These are highlighted in light blue, or maybe it’s teal, in the leftmost column of the spreadsheet 9.) Trace the various routes that 0636 track took. Perhaps it also led to some 0637 tracks that never went any further. Perhaps there are various 0638 versions based on varied 0637 versions. In any case, record a piece of music that lets the listener experience the branching paths that the original 0636 track took over the course of the three phases of the trios project sequence. Clearly you will be using a linear form to represent variations, so how to achieve that will require some compositional ingenuity. But you’re up to the task.

Tasks Upon Completion:

Label: Include either “disquiet0639remix” (if you follow the loose rules of Step 2) or “disquiet0639paths” (if you follow the more specific rules of Step 3) in the name of your track.

Upload: Post your track to a public account (SoundCloud preferred but by no means required). It’s best to focus on one track (but if you post more than one, clarify which is the “main” rendition).

Share: Post your track and a description explanation at https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0639-path-ways-4-of-3/

Discuss: Listen to and comment on the other tracks.

Slow Down (disquiet0645)

Recorded, mixed and mastered on 12 May 2024 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa. This was also Day 1381 of the 100 Day Project.

Process notes - 

After recording and assembling a track based on Oblique Strategies for a future Magpie Pirates community collab compilation, I started in VCV Rack with a number of Stochastic Telegraph devices - Embellish, Ruminate, Memory, Drifter - and a pair of Bifaco Even VCOs, Atelier Palette, the wonderful Seriously Slow LFO by Frozen Wasteland, the SurgeXT delay and Bifaco’s Spring Reverb and then Biset’s Tree as a sequencer, along with VCAs, AD EGs, a clock, attenuverters, a limiter, scope, I/O and Nysthi’s Master Recorder2. 

I made three passes - 

- A 2:11 first pass, intended as raw material for the slow track
- A 0:02 mistake
- A final 3:49 pass, intended to not be slowed down.

I decided pretty quickly that I would use the mistake as a loop and that I would pitch things down 2-4 octaves. Too much high end for me.

I transferred these to three tracks in Live 12, repeating the 2 second one as the loop for dead center and panning the others left and right. I pitched down, drew fades in, ran it through Ozone 9 and that was it, really.
