Description: One of those moments when the laundry — in this case the droning washer and the dryer, the latter with a zipper rattling — could just as well be a lost single from the Chain Reaction label. (Also: I'm kind of impressed that SoundCloud automatically associated the hashtag "#Krautrock" with this track, based solely on the audio and that previous sentence.)

Welcome Child Of Paragon To This Unrelenting Furnace Of Soul-Blinding Wrath Burning Deep Within Me

This track is made from a generative guitar and bass tracks, but remixed by a certified, organic, gluten-free human.
Take that, AI

It's also part of a collaborate project made between members of the https://soundcloud.com/music-for-cars collective.

CAN I FIND IT AGAIN

Disquiet Junto Project 0621: The Leftovers
The Assignment: Use recently discarded material to make something new.

I was really excited by this prompt and then had such a bumpy time moving through it. Lots of starts and stops, lots of frustration. But ultimately I found my way to something cozy and warm (like any good leftovers). 

I was inspired by my love for blooper reels and behind the scenes content. I've been working on a really special audio storytelling/concept album project about space colonization for a long time now and I find it comforting and joyful to listen back to the chatter between takes, the bits we ultimately cut out, and the unruly sounds that happen outside of the final edits. I like hearing our unscripted personalities, thought processes, and mistakes. 

So for this piece I just used that stuff paired with a good amount of mic adjustment sounds and a sweet, simple melody from one of many abandoned songwriting attempts.

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.
