It' s a difficult exercise to work with raw materials. But maybe the most gratifying too!
I tried to keep the 60 hz as a tonality, it's close to a "B"(http://www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-notenames.htm) and used the 5 drones to make beats and melody with gates, filters, arpeggiators (set to Bmin) and lfo's in Ableton. 
Every filter's cut off and eq's frequencies are set to multiples of 6, and the bpm is…60:)
Thanks to vladg/sound for their awesome and free limiter :

a great tool for digital pre/mastering.

Wandering Bullets {disquiet0115-wallduet}

This is made from a binaural recording, when I was brushing my tooth.
Processed in Ableton with gates, filters and delays to create beats, and sampler to create bass and synth.
As it comes from binaural recording, it really doesn't work on speakers.
It's a kind of vigorous brushing, when you're in a hurry :)

Save Our Sounds - {disquiet0371-concrete_ambiance}

The latest software I bought is S-Layer from Twisted Tools and it’s awesome!
Its a multi sampler tool with multi effect that runs under Reaktor.

Here I took some samples from my dubblebass, some samples of water, metal objects, data glitches…

The BPM and all automations are on a base of 28 multiples, and the track lasts 28 measures.
A full moon revolution :)

Honeymoon On Pluto - {disquiet0372-honeymoon_phase}

Hi!
Here is the awesome Bing's speech, from Black Mirror S01E02 "Fifteen Million Merits", performed by Daniel Kaluuya.

I glitched the voice, and then glitched the beat a little.

GlItch hope you'll like it!
