This is so wonderful! I absolutely love this track.

Great title and execution love the layers

Love it! Great choice of source material, and I love how the high frequencies that were removed from the recording are added back via fuzzzzz

[disquiet0575] Thin

This track was inspired by the Disquiet Junto Project 0611 and was created with the intention to leave the impression that the music is listening to itself: After some considerations the music is repeating itself, like somebody who is whistling a short tune he has heard on the radio. In this case this are just some notes played by different classical instruments.

The title is inspired by the concept of spontaneous combustion featuring in the TV series "X Files".

Screeching Spirits (disquiet0617)

This track is my contribution to the Disquiet Junto Project 0620 (details see below) and adds additional piano-based elements to the wonderful track https://soundcloud.com/robertknote/risse-disquiet0619 by @robertknote.
All new elements are based on the original track and were created by extracting Midi-information, reversing and pitching.

Steam Drone (disquiet0631)

The prompt for Disquiet Junto 0632, "Shear Wind", instructed us to take that awful wind-blowing-across-the-microphone sound and make it useful.

I live in a notoriously wind-swept city and the weather was cooperative, so I recorded several minutes of wind shear in my back yard with a stereo field recorder. I brought the recording into my DAW on three tracks, one reversed, and executed some glitch maneuvers to make them rhythmic. On top of everything is a Cmaj7 drone using a few layers of custom sampler instruments.

REMEMBER: Headphones are antennae, like an insect's, that pick up the thoughts of the composer.

A Picnic on a Cliff (disquiet0632)

Almost 10 and a half years ago I made a short videoclip of a whistling windmill on the beach of the beautiful island of Schiermonnikoog. And then there was the Disquiet Junto 0632 with the assignment: do something wit wind shear in a fieldrecording. In the recording was a man speaking in the background and his speech had a nice melody to it. That gave me the idea to put the recording into music. The peaks of the wind trigger four percussion instruments, the whistling tones are randomly alternated and I derived a melody from  the recording by sample & hold to emphasize the rhythm (13 bars of 3/8)

Shear Wind (disquiet0632)

Disquiet0632 - Shear Wind

This week, the prompt for Disquiet Junto 0634, "Bust a Move", asked us to build on a foundation of a piece of classical music heard through a wall or floor.

I chose Schubert's "Trio In E-Flat, Opus 100",  because I am a child of the 80s and The Hunger had a huge influence on me growing up as a babygoth.

I used a physical effect send to route the audio through a chain of guitar pedals, then loop back in to a new audio track in the DAW. I made three new tracks this way, with the pedals tweaked live, each one an interpretation of the source audio. The pedals I used were a Meris Enzo guitar synthesizer, an Eventide H9 Harmonizer, and the famous Walrus Audio ARP-87. 

NOTE: Headphones are recommended as a first line of defense against abduction. As a rule, Schubert never wore headphones. And we all know what happened to him.

Recorded at NOSIGNAL Multimedia Labs in The Shambles, Chicago USA

The Abduction of Schubert (disquiet0634)

This week's Junto project has always been one of my favourites -- so I recorded the first third of what will eventually become a trio. I played it on my Tele through a simple, straightforward signal chain of Chase Bliss Mood (the main sound), fed through a Dark Star and a Polymoon to add space and variations in terms of timbre. No further editing in the DAW. 

I went for as sparse a track as I could, to provide as much space as possible for my potential collaborators. My hope is that you feel inspired by my "almost crumbling to pieces" vibe, and I look forward to hearing what you will be adding over the coming weeks for it to become a trio recording.

Neat Disorder (disquiet0636)

For the second third of what will become a trio, I improvised over the neat track: https://soundcloud.com/encym/neat_disorder_disquiet0636?si=b9ddc52764ed4a2aa016f867b517e4fc&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing by @encym

The right side was made with a meaty and glassy combo instrument using Pigments and Falcon. 
Following the approach of the original track on the left, I made a sparse arrangement, with plenty of air and spectrum for future collaborators.
