Disquiet Junto Project 0216: Thin Layers
The Assignment: Add a thin foundational bed to beats of pin-prick audio.

Step 1: For this project you’ll be adding sounds to a pre-existing track of your choosing. Select one track from the previous Junto project, in which beats were made with five tiny, pin-prick sounds:

http://disquiet.com/0215

Step 2: Confirm the track you selected in Step 1 is available for creative reuse. If you’re not sure, correspond with the musician. If you’re short on time, select a different track.

Step 3: Create a new track by adding a thin layer, or several thin layers, of an ambient foundational bed to the pre-existing track. Don’t alter the pre-existing track significantly. Maintain its original length.

Step 4: Annotate your track with a brief explanation of your approach and process — identify the source track and include a link to its SoundCloud page.

Step 5: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Deadline: This project was posted at noon, California time, on Thursday, February 18, 2016, with a deadline of 11:59pm wherever you are on Monday, February 22, 2016.

Length: The length of your track should be the same as that of the source track.

Upload: Please when posting your track on SoundCloud, only upload one track for this project, and be sure to include a description of your process in planning, composing, and recording it. This description is an essential element of the communicative process inherent in the Disquiet Junto. Photos, video, and lists of equipment are always appreciated.

Title/Tag: When adding your track to the Disquiet Junto group on Soundcloud.com, please in the title to your track include the term “disquiet0216-thinlayers.” Also use “disquiet0216-thinlayers” as a tag for your track.

Download: It is preferable that your track is set as downloadable, and that it allows for attributed remixing (i.e., a Creative Commons license permitting non-commercial sharing with attribution).

Linking: When posting the track, please be sure to include this information:

**Production Notes**

I went for emi minami’s lovely „tinyrhythms“, a mixture of pins and insects, recorded with a contact mike. You find it here: [https://soundcloud.com/emiminami/tinyrhythms]

Picked some tonal parts of a newer drone piece, arranged them. I cheated a bit in the length, it’s not quite the same, but otherwise the loops would have sounded somewhat strange. 

Some EQ’s and sidechain compression… and that’s all.

Eps Sample Disk94SIDE B Disquiet0216- Thin Layers

I really like the collaborative aspect of this weeks assignment and strongly feel this could be the main strength of the whole junto idea. The main track I choose to work with was Emi Minami's gentle and understated piece "disquiet0215-tinyrhythms"https://soundcloud.com/emiminami/tinyrhythms?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0215  I liked the outdoors vibe and thought it offered a lot of room to roam around in. I went to free sound looking for some nature sounds. I downloaded and used the following sound files.
1)62487__sagetyrtle__1103campfire1
2)13576__acclivity__batwalk
3)269570__vonora__cuckoo-the-nightingale-duet
4)190112__tran5ient__flail6
I added the files onto the Minami track. I then proceeded to do a lot of fx and proceesing and crossfading which got out of hand and I decided to stick to the simplicity of the original and left the files as is except for looping the very short flail sample to give it more of a rhythm. I still decided it needed more of a tempo so I added the beginning of Audio Obscura's excellent track https://soundcloud.com/audio-obscura-music/super-tiny-sound-disquiet-junto-project-0215-tiny-rhythms?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0215 looping that in. The title "Night of the Cuckoo Batwalk" came from the free sound files.

About the beat:
drums, bass, vocal chops and fx added.
the one thing that might sound questionable as being a synth-chord is built from the umo no triton sample,while the main line is just the sample, heavily affected and pitched. other layers are mostly from the fukamachi sample.
Then I stumbled upon this Gordon Ramsey Burger video, chopped some vocals on top and used some FX in the transitions.

Overall I tried to stay in the same vibe & key in the two parts but give them a totally different groove and feel.

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.
