Disquiet Junto Project 0431: Solitary Ensembles x 3

Uploaded as part of the Junto Disquiet 0572

Prompt:

"Instruction: Record a beat with the intension that someone other than yourself will add something to it at a later date. It’s preferable that you record something that lasts between one and three minutes, but it’s also fine to record something shorter with the intention that someone will loop it — or something longer, for that matter."

I found this old discarded beat on my computer with not much memory of creating it. According to the file stamp its from November 2020. Think I'd been reading Pynchon's Mason and Dixon around the time which is why its called "Hsi and Ho"

Image came from the prompt: "hsi and ho in a pynchon fever dream" given to Nightcafe

Neurothmic Cadence [disquiet0572]

[disquiet0572] Random Walx

This track was inspired by the Disquiet Junto Project 0572 (details see below): Make a beat that someone else will add to.

I dedided to create a beat mainly based on the sounds of nature - especially all that can be heard in the forest. The forest rhythm is accompanied by some percussive piano sounds and dark ambiances - to enhance the magic of the forest and all it can give to the attentive visitor.

Rock the bells - disquiet0572

It's not advisable to let your teeth get dirty.

All sounds generated with VCV Rack. The main theme is a percussive voice and chaotic FM sounds clocked by the same steady pulse. Additional sounds were made using a different chaotic patch.

It felt like there was space to do free playing and scary sounds with the really full and luscious beat loop (https://soundcloud.com/triermusic/because-seven-point-five-v2) provided by @triermusic. I added a couple of basses and a string sound aiming for as dissonant as possible. Enjoyed doing this.

Solitary Ensembles x 3 - disquiet0431

took the beautiful collaboration by @forcedamage and @wasabicube https://soundcloud.com/wasabicube/force-damage-own-medicine-disquiet0430
and added a bit of fretless guitar, with some compression and delay. I tried to make minimal additions--the original is so sublime.

disquiet0431 force damage own fretless medicine

This is a collaboration between Paul Rose, Douglas Scott, and Douglas Murray. Some guitar improv from Paul, an overdub by Douglas, and anther overdub of waves by me, another Douglas. I had to take the hard panned previous two tracks and mix them together with my addition, which I did in Pro Tools, with minimal effects.

Tele Sunday - Morning Light - Waves - Disquiet0431

Daniel Diaz: bowed upright basses & filters (on original track)
@MarcoLucchi; mellotron é & synth
@michel-banabila: Synthesizer

My first contribution to this collaborative challenge, based on https://soundcloud.com/marcolucchi/der-steppenwolf that's Marco's collaboration with michel [banabila](https://llllllll.co/u/banabila)  adding to his track [Michel-banabila – Fase-1-disquiet-0429-solitary-ensembles](https://soundcloud.com/michel-banabila/fase-1-disquiet-0429-solitary-ensembles)

This one really liked and puzzled me, there's a mysterious modulating sound and performance on the mellotron that  reminds me of Gregorian chant, even if the sound is no "voices" but more like a string-harmonium sound. But it evokes a bunch of ancient Greek monks on acid , recorded on an old Geloso (what won't I give to lay my hands again on my mum's old Geloso that served as my first experimental recording device when I was 6 ?) Nevermind...
Thanks to Marco and Michel for their inspiring track.

Third collaboration for this week's junto joint:
This one's a more standard track, with bass, guitar, drums and an overdub of accordina.
I performed over @howthenightcame 's track https://soundcloud.com/howthenightcame/c-disquiet0430-ryan-scott-mattingly
That was his duo over @ryanscottmattingly 's https://soundcloud.com/ryanscottmattingly/rabbit-food-disquiet0429
I played standard rhythm section (upright bass) over the basic guitar+drum track, then added an Accordina improvisation over it.
It’s nice, melancholic, it was a pleasure for me, cheers

Solitary Trio - disquiet0431 (collaboration w/  htnc & ryan scott mattingly) -

This is a submission for the disquiet junto project 0431.  A random number generator gave me 18 and luckily I had no trouble getting into the vibe set by Jet and DeDe.  I used a drum program called Drum Computer by Sugar Bytes.  It synthesizes drum sounds, lets you do all kinds of sequencing and creates fills automatically.  Lots of randomization options.  So I tweaked that for a long time, automated some effects and faded things in and out.  I just bought the plugin last month so it was nice to sit down and really focus on it, and I think the results are pretty good.  Overall the piece makes me think of taking a walk in nice weather with no particular destination, just enjoying it.

I've been making music under various names for about 20 years (currently as Modulatia).  This is where I post experiments, collabs, and other stuff that is just for fun.

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.
