Disquiet Junto Project 0433: Kit Bits

Disquiet Junto Project 0572: Rhythm Kit
The Assignment: Make a beat that someone else will add to.

Note: This project is the first of a two-parter. You don’t need to participate in both, and you can easily participate in the second one (next week) even if you don’t participate in the first one.

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.

Track notes:

I always like when one of the more beat-oriented prompts comes up because it gets me to think about rhythm tools, which I'm fairly inconsistent with. 

I thought I would would use my modular synth to generate the beat starting with a trio of samplers triggered by dividing and multiplying clock dividers. The resulting three samples are then routed through some signal manipulation: a wasp filter, stereo delay and Make Noise Morphagene. I also had some fun with a sample and hold which controls the pitch CV of one of the samples.

Neurothmic Cadence [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.

disquiet0572 Keep Your Teeth Clean

This week's Disquiet Junto has us making a drum track which other people will add to next week.  I basically just made a beat and then created different glitchy versions of it (mainly using Infiltrator).  Then I got to micro-editing the glitchy stuff into the main beat and trying to create some semblance of song structure.  I didn't want to go into full hyperglitch mode because that would not leave much room for additions, so I held back a bit.  At the end, I just looped a version of the beat for a while so people can jam and then fade the track out when they want.

disquiet0572 115bpm Glitchy Beat

A drum/percussion track for Disquiet Junto 0572: Rhythm Kit. Instruction: Record a beat with the intension that someone other than yourself will add something to it at a later date. 

These sounds were recorded during live jam with Creatures Once bandmate Monstrosus on Dec 10. We played live on some iOS apps conrolled by Korg nano keys, the Alesis e-drum kit, and Drumbrute Impact. We're both drummers as a first instrument so we always have fun with the drums. Had some other instrument sounds going in the jam, but took those out for this rhythm kit version. Arrangement kinds of follows how the jam played out, with M going off on the e-drums to cap things off. Hope someone in the Junto enjoys this beat! 
My family baked biscotti while I edited this, then we had a nice cuppa chai to go along.

Squelchy Grains - with Tristan Louth-Robins(disquiet0573)

Disquiet Junto Project 0573: Float Mode
The Assignment: Add material atop a pre-existing beat to form a complete track.

Note: This week’s project is the second part of a two-parter, following up last week’s, but you don’t need to have participated last week in order to do this one.

Step 1: You will be adding musical elements atop beats created last week by other members of the Disquiet Junto. Select a beat. There are beats from 30 or so musicians in the SoundCloud playlist:

=====================================================
Track notes:

Last week, Daniel Diaz's lovely jazz-oriented track stuck for me as something I'd like to rework.

https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz/2022wcgroove-disquiet0572

Without a really clear idea of where I wanted to take the track, I started by adding some sombre synth sounds over the top of Daniel's rhythm track and listening back to where things were going. I then listened to the harmonic aspects of the chord progression and reached out for my Telecaster, coaxing a kind of Bill Frissel meets Brokeback (via Tortoise) vibe...I think. Lastly, I added a little phasing to the rhythm track during the guitar solo and outro.

These old hose fittings have been sitting in my music box for years.  This Junto project was a great opportunity to do make percussion samples with them.

Kit Bits (brass threads) (disquiet0433)

Drum samples, from the Volca Sample factory sounds, played through a tin biscuit box, in the shape of France, converted into a reverb/resonator. Recorded with the biscuit tin lid on and off through a ladder filter with a touch of resonance.

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.
