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, disquiet.com/0637, and disquiet.com/0638, and you can follow the forking paths through the related Google Drive spreadsheet.

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.) 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.

This playlist is for the #disquiet0639remix approach.

This is the third phase of a three-phase sequence over the course of as many weeks during which, consecutively and asynchronously, musicians build trios together.

Thank you @AlvaroDeCampos and @blisterpop. Wonderful track you gave me to work one.
As was the case last week, the instructions for this week’s project are fairly detailed, so please read them at disquiet.com/0638 15 (rather than me stuffing them into a post here).

This is the third phase of a three-phase sequence over the course of as many weeks during which, consecutively and asynchronously, musicians build trios together.

You can participate in any or all three of the three projects. If you participated in last week’s project, please note these two things:

    be sure to set your track as downloadable
    to avoid bot issues on Soundcloud, make sure its license is set to allow creative reuse

Also important: In normal circumstances, Junto projects have a one-track-per-participant limit. However, as with the preceding project that led up to this one, you can contribute more than one track this week. The details on that are in Step 5 of the project instructions 9.

This post popped up at disquiet.com/0638 9 (thanks, powers of automation) shortly after 12:10am Pacific Time on Thursday, March 21. (I was asleep at the time.) The email containing those instructions went out around the same time, also automatically, via juntoletter.disquiet.com. (We recently switched over from TinyLetter, because TinyLetter was shut down by its owner, Mailchimp, at the end of last month.) Come morning, after I woke up, I posted the instructions here, and at my Mastodon account, plus Bluesky, Threads, and Instagram, etc. And if you’re on a platform, like Mastodon or Instagram, that uses hashtags, please use the #DisquietJunto tag. Much appreciated.

Takashi Matsumoto was a Japanese poet originally from Tokyo. Born into a family deeply interested in nō theater, he also devoted himself to it in his youth until 1921, when he came into contact with Hototogisu magazine and haiku poetry. Beginning the following year, Matsumoto became a student of Takahama Kyoshi. In 1946, he launched the magazine Fue 笛 ('The Flute').

This track is a remix and mash-up of different tracks of the Disquiet Junto Projects of the last three weeks.

The track https://soundcloud.com/blisterpop/four-variations-for-left-by-jimmy-lem-disquiet0636 created by Jimmy Lem (@blisterpop) is the initial track for all other compositions used in this remix.
The track https://soundcloud.com/triermusic/disquiet0636-oneplustwo by Nate Trier (@triermusic), https://soundcloud.com/hugh-g-stonah/wannabe-duetduet-with-jimmy-lem by @hugh-g-stonah and https://soundcloud.com/tannes-marrei/four-variations-tied-together-with-jim-lemanowicz-disquiet0637 by  AlvaroDeCampos (@tannes-marrei) are all duets based on the first track.
The track https://soundcloud.com/33per/six-variations-tied-in-a-knot-with-alvarodecampos-and-blisterpop by @33per was created based on the aformentioned track by  AlvaroDeCampos.

As climax of these series of Disquiet Junto Projects this track now was built from segments of all these 5 tracks. Additional effects were employed.

- I used FL Studio’s ability to extract stems from the two collaboration tracks
- Imported all of this into a Live Session to have 11 tracks to work with.
- Bounced and split each stereo file to mono files
- Applied various effects - mainly Live’s native ones - and then let it sit for a few hours
- Came back to it very late at night into the morning to stretch, chop, arrange and apply another generation of effects - this time mainly M4L devices, with a few odd VSTs - until it sounded "complete" to me. I didn't need to add anything more to this.

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.
