Three parallel tracks with a different Spectral moving pad, playing twice my interpretation of the notation.

CoaT - Parallel Wholes (disquiet0196-Wholelottawhole)

I used OSX text to speech, J74 Progressive generated variants on a basic chord progression, fed to a Diva pad and a StringStudioV2 Arp preset. The drums are from an autobeat preset and drumkit. Added various effects, to keep the voice in front and give additional variety to the drums.

CoaT - Dual Autobeat For Marissa (disquiet0204-Underbeat)

I interpreted the graphic as a 4/4 bar with 1/4 notes on top of a 5/4 bar with 1/8 notes with a little swing. three instruments and three drumkits, all synchronized at start and end on the 4/4 bar, and letting Ableton's clip Any following algorithm create the overal pattern. The drums are sent through a Molekular plagiarism to add some sparkle.

CoaT - 4 On 5 (disquiet0205-Superposition)

I interpreted Serial Composition as 7 lines of 6 bars. Each bar has three notes: three horizontal lines with the first on the bottom. Each note can be split in three, so vertical lines are in fact triplets.
The color is the velocity empty/black/red -> 75/100/127.

The composition has 5 voices from the Epic Solo Taiko. Each voice performs each line from top to bottom but loops on each line for a random number of iterations (thanks to Live follow up actions).  I got the idea from In C, and was happy enough with the results here. I keep all voices synchronized on 6 bars, but they do not start all at the same time. The composition stops when all voices have reached the final line.

CoaT - Disquiet0300 Take 2

I added a lunatic vibraphone on top of https://soundcloud.com/detritus-tabu3/swing-your-pardner-disquiet0316?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0316-el by @detritus-tabu3 who added the percussions to https://soundcloud.com/widdly/left-channel-western-swing-disquiet-0315 by @widdly.

Thanks to both talented artists !

CoaT - Swing Your Pardner With Vibe (disquiet0317)

Wanted to try TR2gen_mr (https://synthesizerwriter.blogspot.fr/2017/12/two-step-two-bar-triad-chord-film-music.html) since I liked the idea of a two step sequencer for meditation. The chords are played on two synths and for some reason I wanted to have a drum track in the background but present enough.
