A low drone in A minor, panned to the left channel. Five modular synth oscillators are modulated with unsynchronized LFOs and lightly processed with a granular module. Most of the modulation subtly slows down through the middle of the track, then picks up a bit during the final portion.

This is the first part of a three part Disquiet Junto collaboration. Other artists may use this track in subsequent recordings during the next few weeks.

Bass Drone (disquiet0525)

"The plan is for you to record a short and original piece of music, on any instrumentation of your choice. Conceive it as something that leaves room for something else — other instruments, other people — to join in."

This track features spare drums and two keyboard loops; composed into a basic intro, four measures of drums, a two measure break of mainly a keyboard loop, then closing drums. So there's room for bass, guitar, keyboards, more percussion, sound samples, whatever fits. 130BPM.

I often start files with some drums and one instrument, thinking I am setting up the scaffolding for a future song... but have a lot of files that only get that far. This is the most I've completed in a long time, and very quickly; so it is probably a mental thing - it's easier as part of a bigger collaborative project handed to someone else.

Caveat: Everything is panned to the left per the project request. However Garageband's panning knob isn't knocking those drums out of stereo, so I'm still hearing them in the middle(?).

Magic Number 1 - disquiet0525

This track was created as response to the Disquiet Junto Project 0525: The composition is meant to be the first third of a trio. Two other artists can add their parts to build the final track.

This track is called 2π since π is my favourite magic number: It determines many processes in our world, it even can be seen as the base of music!
Among others π is found in the  formula for the period of an ideal mathematical pendulum first derived by Christiaan Huygens.

@bick-brannigan-840174692 took this track as basis for the Disquiet Junto Project and created a wonderful piece of music: https://soundcloud.com/bick-brannigan-840174692/not-a-rabble-rouser-duet-with-rabmusiclab

RabMusicLab also developed a complete track on this base, again honouring π: https://soundcloud.com/rabmusiclab/2pi_square_root_l_over_g

Disquiet Junto Project 0526: Magic Number (2 of 3)

Lamps with Nate Trier Magic Number (2 of 3) (disquiet0526)

[disquiet0526] Reasonable

I found Daniel's bass part (https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz/unfinished-disquiet0525) utterly inspiring, so went about making a beat for it. So this started out as a dangerous kitchen, cutlery type percussion track with some guitar sprinkled over here and there. When it was almost done, I tore it to shreds again, remixed it and loaded the resulting abstract, non-linear, non-grid beats/acoustic guitar improv into Leafcutter John's Forester. 

A couple of trial and error type experiments lead me to  picking out this nugget (mostly beats mingling with guitar, as if by magic, inside Forester). 

I think this matches very well with the double bass solo groove. I hope you agree, and look forward to whatever gets added in the upcoming third week.
