Terrific launch. Enjoyable listening and informative background info. I'm looking forward to hearing more of these.

Takashi Matsumoto was a Japanese poet originally from Tokyo. Born into a family deeply interested in nō theater, he also devoted himself to it in his youth until 1921, when he came into contact with Hototogisu magazine and haiku poetry. Beginning the following year, Matsumoto became a student of Takahama Kyoshi. In 1946, he launched the magazine Fue 笛 ('The Flute').

The Assignment: Respond to a prompt from George E. Lewis.

This project is the first of three that are being done over the course of as many months in collaboration with the 2024 Musikfestival Bern, which will be held in Switzerland from September 4 through 8 (details at musikfestivalbern.ch). We are working at the invitation of Tobias Reber, an early Junto participant, who manages the festival’s educational activities. This year is the sixth in a row that the Junto has collaborated with Musikfestival Bern.

This week’s prompt was proposed by George E. Lewis, musician, music theorist, music professor at Columbia University, and artistic director of the International Contemporary Ensemble. Lewis is the composer-in-residence at this year’s Musikfestival Bern.

Lewis asks, “Why do we want our computers to improvise?”

This week’s project: record a piece of music that responds in some way to Lewis’ question.

For background, this week’s prompt question is the title of an article that Lewis contributed in 2018 to the book The Oxford Handbook of Algorithmic Music.

The Assignment: Stop doing something you always do.

The track is based upon a percussive approach with a KORG wavedrum and has been added by an electric bass... and voice! 

Enjoy.

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0654: Just Notation. 
Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0654 discussion thread on Lines:
In studying the graphic score "True Glimpses 1" by Franziska Baumann, the abstract notations reminded me of the random generative sounds that can be created using a Krell Patch on a modular synthesizer. In this piece, I used a version of the patch on a semi-modular Make Noise Easel – 0-Coast, 0-Ctrl and Strega. The audio was recorded to Ableton Live where I added reverb from Valhalla Supermassive. An additional track was added via MIDI keyboard using the Fors Tela plugin. Used Supermassive again as well as Aberrant DSP Lair "occult reverberator" for effects on that track.

Disquietude Ambient Podcast 0001

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.
