Planning of this track was simple, make the deadline, don't miss it. The source audio was a brief snippet to get the sound moving through a few effects pedals. The movement of this brief track reminded me of rusted butterfly wings. Hence the inclusion of "papillon" in the title.

Another take on the prompt for this project. The stuttery motion of a rusty moth as it moves closer to a destructive flame. Hope you all enjoy.

Disquiet project 0498, a happy accident. While recording a piece for the Disquiet Junto weekly endeavor, my setup gave up on me. As I tried to bounce audio through a signal chain from my microsoft surface, the DAW kept choking and giving me an audio dropout error. As my computer stuttered through RAM to try and accommodate the tasks I was attempting to complete, I got an interesting audio signal moving through the chain. The result here is that signal passing through the Ezhi & Aka bromdihydrochlorphenylbenzodiazepine fuzz pedal. This is nowhere near the piece I put together for this week's prompt, but it ended up being something, as opposed to nothing and illustrated a recurring theme when it comes to artistic expression. We will not always end up where we thought we would, but the process and the final result still has merit.

Another selection for the Disquiet community weekly project. As is typical with my compositions, I often end up far from where I began. This one started with 2 very basic samples from Disquiet participants, Ryan Scott Mattingly and radio hummingbird. It ended up in a very different place with the addition of a cacophony of noisy selections, a distorted mellotron choir, and finally, a vintage bell and howell movie projector sample. 

Some of my tools included borderlands granular synthesizer app, a marbeau synth drone generator, and the beautiful tides dirty reverb pedal from Holy Island Audio.

Submission for disquiet0553 weekly project. It's been a year since I participated in this weekly work. These prompts are a big help to get me doing something with all the noise I tend to make.
This particular piece features a tape loop percussion track and processed piano audio using a Red Panda tensor pedal and an Ezhi & Aka moomindrone.
As this is mostly free-form sound, my inclusion of a "break" in the cycle happens at 1:22 in the track. Percussion falls out and the "time" definitely meanders for a bit.

Burn Splice Disquiet0553

This is a track I put together for the weekly Disquiet Junto project 0554. I had intended to get it sorted and uploaded for inclusion in the final of three tracks produced for Musikfestival Bern.

The track was produced by creating separate guitar drone tracks for each note in the "Cage Chord" that was the central basis for this project. Utilizing a guitar sustainer, a brilliant software plugin called Tapes.01 and an Ezhi & Aka Moomindrone pedal, I broke the chord into each of its notes and effected each one of them.

I really love how this one turned out so sharing here even though the project was completed a couple weeks ago.

My latest submission to the Disquiet Junto weekly project. I will add some details shortly about what's going on with this one.

This track is a response to the prompt "Why do we want our computers to improvise?" This is Disquiet Junto weekly project 0651. My approach was to use a device that is inherently physical but electronic at the same time. I utilized a Moog theremini as a sound source and then processed it through a Red Panda Tensor time warp pedal. 

The Tensor pedal in my mind was the "computer" component of this experiment. I am always intrigued by the generated sounds that spill out of this pedal, no matter what the initial source. As this is part one of three to be created in collaboration with Musikfestival Bern, I decided to leave some space in the sounds so that they could built upon later.

Looking forward to the next projects in this series.
