Disquiet Junto Project 0401: Noise Pacing

For this challenge, Type Set, I used the sound of a keyboard typing the first two stanza's of Edgar Allan Poe's, 'The Raven' .  The typing was performed and recorded by my close collaborator, JC Petkovich, who used a JD40 which he built and dropped into a CNC'ed aluminum case. JC also added foam between the PCB and case to dampen the noise, the switches are Aqua Zilent switches which are also very quiet. The keyboard recording was then processed using Supercollider to "tune" the key sounds using a band pass filter. In addition,  recordings of raindrops as well ravens were also similarly processed and used in the final piece. The work was assembled and mixed in Ableton Live 10 and some software instruments were added.

I recorded this mix because I wanted to play one song in particular. I built a 30-plus-song playlist around it and, as usual, hit record with no plan in mind. what followed was a showcase of some of my favorite things: pounding beats and clattering percussion, squiggling/guttural synths and EBM-/acid-laced grooves, the through line between aggression and longing.

then I had to rerecord it because I played too loud (I blame having recently seen DJ Stingray blow out a fuse three songs into his set). anyway, some blends ended up longer, some shorter, but it's as fried as ever.

Punk Rock Is Plaguing All My Friends

MAGENTA is a DJ and musician born, raised, and based in Chicago. Like many from the city, they grew up surrounded and fascinated by Chicago's dance music culture, and they were particularly intrigued by the mysterious person sometimes playing records. Over the last year, MAGENTA has been that shadowy figure as a resident DJ at Sinister Sundays, a weekly industry and goth night, spinning dark and gritty industrial, EBM, and punk late into the night.

This mix finds MAGENTA in their purest form: percussive, corrosive, genre-fluid dance music blended with abandon, as punishing as it is melancholy.

AWAKEN FREE (spilling beats)

I utilized a clip from some Fajitas a server was running to another table that I captured. I then looped the clip and added Roland 808 drum sequencing. I then used the ROLI to add in additional tones. I added some bass and compression to the Fajitas.
I'm hungry now.

I made a bunch of drum loops to explain to my music theory class what polyrhythm is. Then I read about this Junto project and thought, hmm, making a beat out of noise, let's use them for this too! I vocoded the loops using a straight noise carrier and used an LFO to automate the vocoder's release parameter. I used Follow Actions to randomly sequence the loops, and then edited that sequence for better flow and musicality. In order of entrance, the polyrhythms are 4-vs-3, 5-vs-4, pentuplet swing, septuplet swing, and 11-vs-5.

Polyrhythmic Noise Grooves (disquiet0401)

I used my earlier track (Disquiet Junto 399 which was a previous Rauschen based track), it became a remixed version of it but processed with more noise elements, into various drumracks and rhytmic effects to create a track with more a tempo and rhythmic structure. I added little samples of melody - not quite the "something melodic atop it" that was requested but just enough to give as hint that melody might appear somewhere! 

Disquiet Junto Project 0401: Noise Pacing
The Assignment: Use background noise as a beat, as a rhythm.

This project is the third and final of a series being done in collaboration with Musikfestival Bern, which will be held in Switzerland from September 11 through 15. For this reason, a German translation is provided below. We are working at the invitation of Tobias Reber, an early Junto participant, who is in charge of the educational activities of the festival. Select recordings resulting from these three Disquiet Junto projects will be played publicly as part of the Rauschlabor Schützenmatte (musikfestivalbern.ch) or broadcast on the festival’s radio show, Radio Antenne (radioantenne.ch). If you don’t want your recording to be used in this way, please note so wherever you post it.

Step 1: Familiarize yourself with the German word “rauschen,” the theme for this year’s festival. Understand that “rauschen” is noise in the sense of white noise, waterfall noise, background noise, static, wind in trees, rain, etc. The blurred, diffuse, continuous kind of noise, not short individual non-tonal sounds.

Step 2: You are going to make music in which one or more “rauschen” noise(s) will be used as the beat or rhythm for a track. Record and listen back to such “rauschen.”

Step 3: Select one or more noise elements from Step 2.

Step 4: Create a track using the elements from Step 3 as beats or rhythmic material, and then layer something melodic atop it.

Magnetic Traffic(disquiet0401)

From this week's Disquiet Junto task here: https://disquiet.com/2019/09/05/disquiet-junto-project-0401-noise-pacing/

Back into it after a few weeks away from being too tired/busy. Anyway, the basic theme behind this one was to make a beat from the background noise of a place, and my choice was the McKinley Park lagoon.

This is made up of two different recordings. One of me sitting at the edge and another of me walking around it. At one point there was a long metallic clang in the distance and I thought "Awesome! I'll use that as the melodic element!" However, the chirping of the cicadas was just too much for it to be very usable in the mix. So, it because a background texture, but it's nice in that respect.

In making a beat from the stuff, I thought that chopping out the sound and doing something very percussive sounding was kind of contrary to this idea of "rauschen" that the project was focusing on. (Which might have been the point. Shrug.) So, what I wanted to do was to make the rhythmic structure very subtle. Kind of struggling to emerge, I suppose. So, I used a lot of the natural rhythms. The spacing of the cicadas' chirps. The pace of my footsteps. Et cetera.

Automatisme - Alter-Scape 7 (Gianluca Iadema Remix)

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.
