Disquiet Junto Project 0665: Clicks + Cuts Music Factory
The Assignment: Record a track in honor of the late Achim Szepanski.

Background: Achim Szepanski (1957-2024), founder of the Mille Plateaux record label, among numerous other accomplishments, died this week. This project is in his honor. You needn’t know much if anything to begin this project; just follow the instructions. As always, discussion of the topic at hand in the project’s llllllll.co message thread is encouraged.

Step 1: Listen back to the first Clicks + Cuts compilation album (originally released in 2000). It is streaming on YouTube (the first hour or so of that playlist).

Step 2: Consider the common elements in various tracks: the glitch effects, the sense of space, the attention to tiny details, the industrial minimalism, the emphasis on sampling, the tempo, the groove. What else do you hear?

Step 3: Record a track in the spirit of that first Clicks + Cuts album.

Deadline: Monday, September 30, 2024, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.

Three drum beats, chopped, cut and mutilated with different manual methods and an automated plugin (tweaked in real time) + a synth track, also cut and skidded and finally a glitch I captured and entered on a sampler, played rhythmically with pads.

"Body without Organs in 5 Dimensions (for Achim Szepanski)"

A tribute in the style of the first compilation on Mille Plateaux. The structure of the sounds are derived from the five Platonic Solids and layered to be mixed into an evolving pattern emerging from every side.
