Disquiet Junto Project 0556: Gabber Ambient
The Assignment: Field-test a hybrid genre.

I started with a 200 bpm Kickdrum in Live. It seemed to be enough for some minutes. I added a lot of things, just to not be lazy. From there I went one by feeling. It was basically a loop with minimal variations when I exported stems and recut the track in Reaper by destroying a lot of things. I am really neither a fan of Kickdrums nor from bpms faster than 90, but after all I liked the track.

Garbient [disquiet0556]

Condensation is a form of change, but this is only half of the story. Condensation is what happens when vapor transforms to a liquid state; evaporation is what happens when liquid changes back to vaporous form. It’s a constant, cyclical form of reclaiming what was lost.

Michael John Harris, author of the book The End of Absence, has an interesting perspective on loss vs. gain: “My child will never know the value of learning to read a map without GPS. This is the problem with losing lack: it’s nearly impossible to recall its value once it’s gone.“ 

Some cognitive scientists argue that digital media has rendered our brains into mush. Others believe that, like how the clouds above manage moisture content, it’s simply a matter of displacing one form of cognitive processing with another.

For this Junto project, Suss Müsik explored the cyclical nature of something being there and then not there. The original photo was scanned and rendered to high-contrast, which revealed two distinct patterns: the first a reasonably formed outline comprising a circle (we’ll call that v.1), the other a series of amorphous blobs (v.2). 

v.1 became the basis for a cyclical riff played on fake bass and a DIY synth device. v.2 was played by tracing a finger across a DIY piezo mic resonator (constructed from old hard drive enclosures) and passing the signal through a Meng Qi Wingie 2. Some sloppy piano was overdubbed; interruptions were designed per interpretation of the “score.”

The piece is titled after Hieronimo Squarciafico, the 15th-century Venetian editor who warned that the invention of the printing press would inhibit humankind’s ability to remember things.

This track follows the suggestion of the Disquiet Junto Project 0560: 
Participate in the open contest to develop of a “sound logo” for Wikimedia (see https://soundlogo.wikimedia.org/).

I thought of noises and melodies which are symbols for the world and all there is to know about. This highly objective and personal miniature compositions that was created is not meant to be a promising candidate in the contest but my personal view of the world, summarised in 4 seconds.

Consequently the artwork was chosen from Wikimedia (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a8/Morris_Woodpecker_tapestry_detail.jpg)

Disquiet Junto Project 0561: Samplelicker
The Assignment: Rework environmental sound recordings with Aphex Twin’s new software.

Step 1: There’s a new piece of freely available software called Samplebrain. It was designed by Aphex Twin and developed by Dave Griffiths of Then Try This. Download Samplebrain and read up at:

https://gitlab.com/then-try-this/samplebrain 11

Step 2: Create a piece of music using Samplebrain. For source audio, only use sounds tagged “bird” or “rain” or “night” from freesound.org 4. Use as many as you like. Be sure to credit the source material when posting your finished track.

Track notes: 

I decided to use only two samples for this samplebrain composition: "Rain.wav" from idomusics as my 'brain' sound and the delightfully named "French men in the deep night.wav" from satoration as my target. 

Having been listening to a lot of Rolf Julius' small music lately, I'm impressed with the variances in pitch and dynamic to these textures and how interesting they might sound broadcast at very low volumes or with the stereo field separated out. I'm looking forward to experimenting more with the app!

[Disquiet_Junto_0561] Glitched men in the deep night

My process was to bring the assignment's three samples into Audacity and then extract parts for percussion loops and isolated sounds. In Audacity I pieced together different pitches of one piano note into three; layered one sound on top of itself backwards; and some pitch-stretching. I dropped these into Garageband and moved them around.
