Like the way empahasis on the long introduction, and how you inject the up tempo music into that.

Disquiet Junto Project 0110: WSB100

My cut-up is derived from a article in Seven Days, an alt-weekly out of Burlington, VT. It details a dispute between neighbors about using residential space as a business workshop to build guitars. http://www.7dvt.com/2014disharmony-prospect-street-dispute-between-neighbors-strikes-sour-note

For the "chorus" I used the audio out-put from the image I databent for this track. 

The "verse" is from a no-input recording I did on my Tascam digital recorder. I simply ran an 1/8" cable from mic-in to line-out. The effect comes from adjusting the mic sensitivity. 

The "bridge" is from an improv session done on my squire fretless jazz bass. A cut-up of this recording is dispersed throughout the track.

The "beat" is also from a no-input recording. This time I ran the cable through my Behringer delay pedal.

Disharmony Street Prospect (disquiet0110-wsb100)

From Göteborgs Posten. Ironically enough it was about closing down a drug rehab.

I used text to speech translation- acapella (changed the pitch of the male voice, reading in  Gothenburg dialect). Then I found an old sample recorded off the radio- a looped sequence from Mahler's Um Mitternacht (don't remember who the singer was), that made a nice background. To underline the structure of the song I added more radio- LW as a beat for the chorus, some noise for the bridge and piezo flax seeds as accents.



Vi har inte tillräckligt många psykiatriker- disquiet0110-wsb100

At the 100th birthday of William S. Burroughs, celebrating his literary legacy by employing one of his classic artistic subroutines, the cut-up. 
I've listed the strings from the Asahi news headlines at am 5:00 Feb 8 tokyo time. http://www.asahi.com/news/ 
and added my stock loop and simulated touching tape physically by setting ableton warp mode.

Of Leeton yesterday morn [disquiet0110-wsb100]

I've been researching Laurie Anderson a lot recently. I decided to emulate her manner of speaking. (I think I failed in some ways). 

The text I used came from the front page of reddit. I've included the lines here:

1. Evolution Door

2. 1girl 1 cup

3. I once came home to a hostage situation.

4. This is what I’m expecting from the Sochi Opening Ceremony

5. Alaska primed to become third state to legalize retail marijuana

6. I have travelled the world with Toy Story’s Woody, taking pics for my son. At Heathrow, security just confiscated his “weapon”, keep the world safe boys…

7. TIL Yang (Lenovo's CEO) received a $3 million bonus as a reward for record profits, which he in-turn redistributed to about 10,000 of Lenovo's employees. He did same thing again in 2013.

8. Vøringsfossen, Norway. You can almost see the trolls and elves from here…

9. Flawless

10. In 3 words what would your hell be?

11. Women in Tokyo are threatening a sex boycott against any man who votes for the front-runner in this weekend's gubernatorial election, in protest at his claim that menstruation makes women unfit for government.

12. My nephew just made his first shot in little league basketball last night. 
I tried to make it memorable for him.

13. Olympic luger crashes, somehow recovers

14. Scientists in Japan have successfully induced human embryonic stem cells to spontaneously form developing brain tissues

15. What have you wondered about sleep?

16. Mongolian Smile

17. To the 'self-hating' gay fellow, don't worry about it…

18. TIL for the 1996 Summer Games in Atlanta, homelessness was criminalized in the city. Those arrested during the Games were held for trial until after the event was over


There's a final system of music I chose not use because the track seemed to end after the bridge. This system forms the "underlying rumble" accompaniment for the speech.

i once came home to a hostage situation - "Disquiet Junto Project 0110: WSB100

My article came from the front-page of the New Jersey  <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/olympics/sochi/2014/02/06/mikaela-shiffrin-favorite-gold-medal-slalom/5266229/">USA Today</a> 
-I used the online version to cut and paste.
-I used a text to speech that I found online and recorded with my phone.
-Sent the track to Logic and created a base using old samplers. 
-Sent the base back to my phone and used the beatmaker app to filter.
-Recorded the track in Logic.

Step 1: Take the lead article from your local newspaper and write down the first 18 sentences on separate slips of paper — or, if you prefer, extract the first 18 lines on separate strips of paper.

Step 2: Label these pieces of text from 1 to 18.

Step 3: Either read them out loud or use text-to-speech and record them.

Step 4: Construct the vocal of a song using the material. Sequence the vocal in the following order. Note that text element 3 serves as the chorus and text element 15 serves as the bridge. The remaining elements are in random sets of four, with no repetition.
3 3 3 3
14 10 5 7
3 3 3 3
8 18 11 4
3 3 3 3
6 17 12 9
15 15 15 15
3 3 3 3
13 2 16 1
3 3 3 3

Add music, whatever instrumentation you choose, to flesh this out into a proper song.

Step 5: When posting the track be sure to include a link to the originating source article. If you cut up the text by hand, please include photos of your process.

Deadline: Monday, February 10, 2014, at 11:59pm wherever you are.

Length: Your finished work should be between 1 minute and 4 minutes.

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.

I'm Carlos Lemosh.
The main focus of my work is rhythmic noise and musique concrète.
