Probably already the best interpretation of this week's theme.

@letterfounder: is that a comment on my track, really? BTW read this track's description you have all the links there. So quoting Mr Lennon "YES is the answer"

I am gonna download this one this evening

such a great and really interesting use of rhythms, reminds me a little of Reich's "music for pieces of wood". Superb stuff!

Really nice interpretation and execution! Does make my metronome feel inadequate though ;-)

I want to make this the ring tone on my phone.

my tracks for the diquiet junto group/project.

Sentimental Insects (NaviarHaiku603)

As a musician and producer, I find myself drawn to the unique sonic landscapes that various musical modes offer. My latest endeavor is no exception; I've experimented with the Mixolydian mode and integrated it into my new deep house track. The result is a melody that is both familiar and exotic, which I'm excited to share. The Mixolydian mode, which is essentially a major scale with a lowered seventh, infuses a bluesy, relaxed feel to my guitar melody, offering a fresh texture to the deep house genre.

Disquiet Junto Project 0245: Practical Music
Write a piece of music for getting things done, suitable for playing on repeat.

Clean up, routine, tiding up....that leads me to repetitive stuff.
I played a simple riff on my “diaz custom5”  drake bass guitar, very repetitive and yet variations going from A to D to D/E with no real structure.
Added a synth bass drone, and a Wurlitzer A200 electric piano improvising a bit.
Then some repetitive voices (tah-tah-tah-tah...) in four part harmony/
My usual rhythmic delays played a big role, here in 1/8th and 1/4th notes.
You can loop this, there’s no lead in or lead off.
Love

Recorded in Paris, France September 9th  2016.

clean it and loop it - disquiet0245

Disquiet Junto Project 0246: Double, Quadruple, Sextuple
Compose a piece of music that increases speed in stages as it proceeds.

Steve Reich meet Western Spaghetti !
Mostly repetitive and simple guitar parts, nod to Electric Counterpoint perhaps?
Martin J15 acoustic and Schecter 1985 Stratocaster
I added an organ (Arturia’s Vox Continental) to glue everything, perhaps not a good idea?
Time (and you fellas) will tell.

I didn’t quite follow the increase speed in terms of overall tempo but in terms beat subdivision. Both in performance and delay rhythms:

70BPM throughout, always the same little motif: Ab-C-G-Ab-F 
So you have 70 motif notes per minute at the beginning and we reach 420 per minute in the finale.

1st part  is plain 1/4th   notes melody with a large 4 beats delay.
2nd melody enters with delay in 1/8th notes
3rd 4th and 5th parts switches progressively to 1/16th notes delays over the same basic motif performed in quarter and eight notes simultaneously.
6th is performed in 8th notes but delays become triplets (1/8th notes triplets)
7th part is the melody performed in 1/8th notes with delays in 1/8th note triplets.
8th part  is the melody performed in 1/8th note triplets with  delays in 1/16th note triplets (thus multiplying tempo by 6, ie 420BPM on those staccato notes)
9th is the “grand finale” with every delay in 1/16th notes triplets and one Martin and 3 Strats playing simultaneously different versions of the 5 note motif + 2 Matin guitars playing simple chords.

Instrumentation:
00:00 Martin 1 + Strat washes.
00:42 Martin 2 & Martin 3 (left-right) + Strat melody
01:13 Martin 1 + Martin 2 & Martin 3 chords (left-right) + Strat 1 melody + Start 2 staccato.
01:40 Martin 1  + Strat 1 staccato + Start 2 staccato.
02:08 Martin 1 + Martin 2 & Martin 3 (left-right) + Strat 1 melody + Start 2 staccato + Strat 3 staccato
02:35 Triplets: Martin 1 + Strat 1 chords + Start 2 staccato 
03:03 Martin 2 & Martin 3 (left-right) + Strat 1 staccato
03:27 Finale (tutti)

Western Multipliers - disquiet0246

Waltz Definitely (La Boite A Musique) disquiet 0247

This one was so obvious to me, the illustration reminds me of a silly game we do with my kids, (game that they still love really) where I paint faces on our fingertips with a Sharpie, weird faces, happy faces, angry, surprised faces, etc) and we play roles and fake stories with our finger-tip-marionettes.
That’s the illustration alright, no doubt for me.

Waltz maybe? The idea was to perform a silly waltz with this mechanical toy piano I bought for my kids (but ended up squatted in my studio and finding its way to some major productions, little bastard!)
The piano is the one on the photo I took for this post. Who can resist a red piano?


So I went for a bunch of tracks I recorded with that piano previously and found that 90% where actually waltzes. I choose this one, so I am cheating (am I?) cause this is an existing recording, but couldn’t resist. Sorry.

The music it’s a proper composer’s composition, with chords, melodies, and all that old school stuff I like. 
Structure is A (major)-A (major)-A (major)-B (Major/Minor) - A (major)

But it is performed as if it was a Music Box. 

Now: trying to reproduce the issues, pranks and casualties you find in music boxes with an actual performance was a threat! And a whole lot of fun honestly. Those ridiculous tempo shifts and weird phrasing, took me hours lol.
One toy piano, a microphone and a drunken tempo, this is the antidote for any click based techno music overdose.

Hope you dig it. Love DD

Celebrate the new celestial holiday in music.

Here’s my angry chaotic interstellar trip to this birthday party far out there. A one minute and-a-half journey.

I took some of NASA’s free downloadable files I’ve got( from their Soundcloud account most probably) and that I use a lot.

Here, 16 first seconds of the track is full NASA sounds, including the low stabs in F that set the tonal centre and the amazing 5/8 groove that plays throughout. And astronaut’s (and Houston's) voices and a Saturn noise pad that glues everything, that's all NASA shares..

Then added some synths, played a F minor sequence , translated the 5/8 NASA groove to a distorted to hell midi drum track, and that’s it.

Vortex Me, Please - disquiet0248

from D.D.'s LARMKUNST CD.
Uploaded for Disquiet Junto Project 0267: The Metronomic Society.

clockworks 01 analog/metronomikas 2:20
sound sources: maezel metronome, 2 different clocks, alarm clock, bell.
treatments: filters & distorted delays

Step 1: There’s a fascinating book from 1988 titled The Metronomic Society. Written by the Michael Young, it is an academic study of the rhythms of human existence, with an emphasis on organization and societal systems. It’s not necessary to read it. It’s just helpful to know where we’re borrowing the term from.

Clockwork I Metronomikas (disquiet0267)

multi-instrumentalist & composer.
Genre fluid music for images / instrumental / contemporary post-fusion / experimental jazz / electro acoustic ambient / melodic noise / neoclassical / naive hard core / cosmopolitan world music.

bio here:
http://dedeland.com/daniel-diaz-bio/


In some words:
Composer, arranger, producer, multi-instrumentalist. Born in Argentina,
I studied music in Buenos Aires, New York, Boston, Los Angeles and Paris.

For 20 years, I developed an important career as a session and backing musician in Argentina and Europe, playing, among other instruments, the bass, touring and recording with many jazz, rock, fusion, world, Latin and tango bands.

At the same time, I worked as an arranger, producer and musical director with many projects and artists in the USA, Argentina and Europe.

From 1992 to 1997, I performed my compositions live with my own band in Buenos Aires and began a solo recording career with the worldwide release of my first album "The Years Alone" on the North American label Green Linnet/Xenophile. On this album I arranged and performed 11 of my songs written between 1986 and 1993. I played most of the instruments, but included guest appearances by some great South American players.

My recording career continued with "Segundo Ciclo" (1997), released worldwide by Timeless Records, and 12 more albums released between 2000 and 2016.

Currently, I work as an on-demand film/TV composer while continuing to play live and produce.
