funny, i pretty much had the same idea this week. nicely done

Nicely restrained. Wonderful collaboration.

This is my contribution to the Disquiet Junto project 0317: Triadic Awareness. This was the third part of a three part piece, where the project was to take the cumulative efforts of another two junto members and add some sounds on top of that.

I choose Lionel Benancie's contribution to last week's Disquiet 0316; which it itself included Disquiet's 0315.

Clearly it's important here to treat the source material sensitively and bring one's best chops to the table; so rather than do that I took my bass guitar out of its dusty case and improvised over the top, and took my best single take.

I then added a bit of interest by doubling the bass part through mutable rings on the modular.

Variations of a simple melody (C, Eb, D, Bb) are modulating the pitch of two samplers and the delay time of the reverb. The first sampler has three voices playing the sample with three different phases. The second sampler is plaing a 5th below the first sampler and at a faster tempo. This is all done in SuperCollider. The sample is from https://freesound.org/people/juskiddink/sounds/109193/ used under CC license.

Next time you misplace your keys, try thinking like an ant.

Ants solve problems collectively by secreting messages to other ants. When an ant finds a source of food, it walks back to the colony leaving pheromone markers. As other ants discover that the pheromone trail leads to food, they populate the path with their own markers. The more ants who travel the path, the more pheromones are dropped. Once the food source is depleted, the ants cease populating the trail and any remaining pheromones slowly decay.

Scientists who study this behavior refer to something called the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) metaheuristic. That’s a fancy way of saying that ants tend to prefer shorter trails with stronger pheromones, not unlike how computer algorithms disambiguate search terms. When someone types the word “cars” into Google, for example, it’s important to differentiate the intended task of buying an automobile from watching a movie or listening to a 1980’s new wave band.

For this piece, Suss Müsik treated a single piano melody as an “algorithm” by layering each permutation. As the base path is developed, other instruments randomly travel outside the melody, perhaps resembling how ants continue scouting for additional food sources. The sequence ultimately “optimizes” with all musical pheromones aligning toward a single discovery.  

The piece is titled Pheromones and composed for piano, violin, woodwinds, cello and brass.

Y'all

Y'all (Disquiet0352)

The sound of Messier 82 (NGC3034, "Cigar Galaxy") varies, depending on the part of the spectrum you listen to.

(Production notice for disquiet junto members:) I created a melody and two permutations of it (D harmonic minor). These are introduced in the order of A, B and C and then permutated in different combinations. To avoid too much obvious minimalism, I varied the melodies over three octaves, used some delay and reverb, and the whole score changes between three layers of instrumentation (sine, saw, piano).

Warp Space Weft Time (disquiet0353)

I used photoshop to convert the image to B/W and used markers to create the notation. I then input each color into Muse Score as it's own instrument and would use the Yellow squares as Drums since it reminded me of the Yellow Roli Bongo, exported MIDI to combine with the Roli set. I played the yellow blocks on a 4 bongo from roli in 3 instances since the notation contained 3 instruments.  MUse score file on lines disscussion.

Disquiet Junto Project 0353: Warp & Weft
The Assignment: Read loom-woven fabric as a musical composition.

Thanks to Kim Rueger for proposing this project, to John Horigan for allowing us to use this fabric as our source image, and to Mark Lentczner for the photography and for participating in this project’s gestation.

Step 1: Download the following image and look at it closely:



https://www.dropbox.com/s/brauliz2ryvdram/warp%20weave%20full.jpg?dl=0

Step 2: If you’re not familiarize with the terms “warp” and “weft,” understand them as relating to the act of weaving. Per the Wikipedia entry, “The lengthwise or longitudinal warp yarns are held stationary in tension on a frame or loom while the transverse weft (sometimes woof) is drawn through and inserted over-and-under the warp.”

Step 3: Study the image with this concept of “warp and weft” in mind. Consider how the image can be interpreted as a musical composition.

Step 4: Compose a piece of music that, reflecting your thoughts from steps 1 through 3, reads the image as a music score.

Six More Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0353” (no spaces or quotation marks) in the name of your track.

Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag “disquiet0353” (no spaces or quotation marks). If you’re posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to subsequent location of tracks for the creation a project playlist.

Step 3: Upload your track. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your track.

Step 4: Post your track in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0353-warp-weft/

Step 5: Annotate your track with a brief explanation of your approach and process.

Step 6: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Other Details:

Deadline: This project’s deadline is Monday, October 8, 2018, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are on. It was posted in the early evening, California time, on Thursday, October, 2018.

Length: The length of your track is up to you.
Download: Please consider setting your track as downloadable and allowing for attributed remixing (i.e., a Creative Commons license permitting non-commercial sharing with attribution, allowing for derivatives).
Context: When posting the track online, please be sure to include this following information:
