This was my contribution for the Disquiet Junto Project 0581:Helsinki Downspout

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0581 discussion thread:

I went in a lot of different directions at first trying to figure out how to incorporate the rhythmic field recording but finally settled on using it alongside more ambient tracks. Hopefully the source audio isn't lost or too much in the background.

This was created in Ableton Live using Slate+Ash Choreographs and ThePhonoLoop Tapes.01. The sample was modulated with Max for Live Slink Devices with added effects using Valhalla Supermassive and Baby Audio Spaced Out.

Thanks to Scott Fletcher for allowing us to use his recorded sample. Water drops image is by sneaky-head via Unsplash.

Helsinki Downspout Dream [disquiet0581]

iPad apeMatrix experiment with crunchy audio in and a lot of unfiltered audio effects. The downspout file is played on the phone and recorded by the iPad mic. Not a familiar setup for me but wanted to try a different way of working.

Disquiet Junto Project 0581: Helsinki Downspout

The Assignment: Use a rhythmic field recording as the foundation for a new track.

Step 1: This is a shared sample project, one in which all the participants will utilize the same provided recording, about a minute and a half long, as the rhythmic element for their own music. Access the track, originally recorded by Scott Fletcher and used with his permission, here:

https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/helsinki-downspout 30

Step 2: Listen to the provided track several times. Think about ways to map its content, perhaps making notations about when certain unique, momentary aspects surface.

Step 3: Record an original piece of music for which the provided music is the underlying rhythm. You might take this quite literally, using the source as it is, resulting in a track that is precisely 1:35 long. Alternately, you might elect to sample and rework the source material. If you go the latter route, make certain that the original sound is, at least at some point in the finished track, recognizable.

Step 4: Because this is a Creative Commons resource, be sure to identify Scott Fletcher as the original recorder of the source material, and include a link to the source track. Identify the license as: Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0).

Disquiet Junto Project 0591: The Loneliest Number
The Assignment: Record the first third of a trio.
More info on Disquiet Junto: disquiet.com/0591/

Last summer, after an accident, I had to stop playing double bass. This is my second attempt to get back to the instrument after months of silence, I thought this could be a nice opportunity to share the process and slowly start to get my hands on it to see how it feels and how my body responds to playing.
Focused on improvisation, gesture, silence and number 7. 

7 seconds of music are followed by 7 seconds of silence. 14 seconds of music are followed by 14 seconds of silence. 21 seconds of music are followed by 21 seconds of silence. Repeat and then decrease time until the last 7 seconds of silence.
Loosely based on recording pre-count at ~ 60.50 bpm 
No timer was used during the process, so there may be irregularities.
I only played my double bass open G string with a bow.
Added some slight Mimeophon delay-modulation then a bit of chorus + phaser + tape effect (encoderaudio Ferro) in Ableton Live.
I kept volume low in order to make it possible to work on it and mix further things for future use.

We Need  You Tay (disquiet0591)95 BPM

A remix of https://soundcloud.com/micheleisoni/dem-three-disquiet0593

[disquiet0594] Step - Dub

A work in progress / abandonded track from early 2023, finished and remixed June 1st 2023.
This track, I created earlier this year for the same proto-jazz proyect that generated my track for [junto0584](https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz/nocturnal-studio-jam-number-2) this was intended to be a jazz-lounge jam, I recorded the electric piano part over a jazz drum loop and a walking upright bass, then decided that I wanted a more lounge/funky beta and grabbed a different loop. I clicked on the wrong loop-file an dI got this weird electro-beat that completely destroyed the track's jazz feel. I tried to re record the bass, with a fretless bass, more soul-funk groovy but it didn't work, it was too hybrid.

So as the track evolved from a jazz jam to...well, this; I decided to tweak a couple of things, mix it and share it with you as my example of Phylogeny.

Recorded early 2023 by DD in Paris, FR,
Fretless bass guitar
Electric piano
Drum loops and synthesizers.

Phylogeny (Jazz at the Achilleion Palace) - disquiet0596

I'm not really a big perfume/cologne fan, and when the 150th Junto project was announced, for whatever reason I thought of "10 Hours Walking in NYC as a Woman" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1XGPvbWn0A ).

So, I made a simple track which seemed to me the kind of musical equivalent of the catcalling which was going on there, mixed in with the audio from that video. Then I reflected and thought, "Gawd, this is in terrible taste. Now I'm tapping my feet while listening to all this creepy real-life catcalling stuff." So I didn't finish it or submit it. 

It still isn't finished, but now I'm obviously leaning towards posting it.
