Melodic Dark and Luminous Drones - disquiet0699 (with Ray Cobley and Alanblip)
This one’s quite experimental yet melodic and with a positive, luminous vibe (but with moments of darkness when Ray’s drone takes the foreground). 

Took this duo: https://soundcloud.com/ray_cobley/drone-double-with-alanblipdisquiet0698 by @ray_cobley 
who worked on this solo by  @alanblip https://soundcloud.com/alanblip/b-drone-disquiet0697 

Added a solo lead on my Oberheim OB-X and some noise washes on the same sytnh to channel the mighty Vangelis…

Melodic Dark and Luminous Drones (w/ray cobley & alanblip) - disquiet0699

Worked on this duo by e_nu_ri (@user-807707609) : https://soundcloud.com/user-807707609/bowed-and-jangled-farther-disquiet0698  based on this original track by 
@red_robin
https://soundcloud.com/red_robin/disquiet-junto-0697-mr-bowed-jangles

The all-synth background is great. I thought the contrast between those synth tracks and a warm, acoustic tone could be interesting, so I improvised a lead part on tenor ukulele. I also added an infra bass drone playing the tonic, and used a little software I’m beta testing that generates sound from a text prompt using some kind of AI (can’t say more here, but it’s fun for drones!).
It's like a dark, abstract recitativo, hope you like it.

Mr Bowed Jangles returns (w/ he_nu_ri and Tristan Louth-Robins) - disquiet0699

Built on top of the excellent bass and rhythm work of DD and halF unusuaL in the previous two weeks, and operating under the influence of Lol Tolhurst's rock and roll memoirs, as well as the unease of being here now in 2025, here is a happy little song about modern life.

The combination of the melancholic piano riff by Leon Clowes combined with the rising tension from Marco Marongiu made me want to add some equally rising waves of noise to the mix. To do so, I employed the Soma Ether which was "driven" by the magnetic fields created by the Ferrous from Landscape which then went through the Cosmos and Zoia, fed back into each other using the Matrix from Future Sound Systems. The resultant cacophony was then imported into Logic, tamed with granular effects, and then layered beneath the Clowes/Marongui combo. I tried my best to be subtle, so hopefully I did not ruin the combo!

I just wanted to play bass on something because it felt like it had been a while since I picked up my bass.  The third part of this project always felt like the right time for basslines too.  I don't really like when the low end is panned hard left or right to be honest.  It feels unbalanced to me.  Anyway, Torpid and Coraline's beautiful piece from last week really stuck out to me so it was an easy choice.  I liked writing counter point to Torpid's fills at the end of the measure.  Hope I didn't funk it up too much

You're not a Burden Either (disquiet0699)

The final addition to complete the annual Disquiet Junto asynchronous trio. This contribution builds on the original keyboards of Aaron Hofman and Andreas Kitzmann's addition of a gritty drone with a performance on ebow guitar and simulated Leslie cabinet.

Tranquil Braces [disquiet0699] with Nat Lyon and Raincat

I choose Krakenkrafts (Andreas Winterer) 2nd part of this assignment trio (and used the panned version so both are each one one side https://on.soundcloud.com/6MYaZFnudYJbPVks7) as I like the jazz feel he added to the Meccaniche-del-suono – (Marco Marongiu)  First-tongue-ram-disquiet0697https://soundcloud.com/meccaniche-del-suono/first-tongue-ram-disquiet0697?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0697. Seemed like it was a little uncertain in its tonal center yet firmly good in Bmin. And it felt like a good match/opportunity to add piano. I did one take improvised overdub centered as requested and felt it made a nice glue for the 2 halves. Thank you Marco & Andreas for a lovely piece to seal.

for this third i loved the Chris & Cosey/John Duncan feel of this shortwave/ambience track by Snafu (https://soundcloud.com/audiosnafu/disquiet0698) adding to Alan Blips B-drone starter..(https://soundcloud.com/alanblip/b-drone-disquiet0697)

Always loved the sound of shortwave, seemed like a good opportunity to use inside piano for this one, prepared with aligator clips, felt pads, gong, also used ebow, electric coffee stirer with rubber band as well as the rattle shaker in my hand while plunking the good notes.

I went through some of the tracks no one had done yet from last week and chose Lee Evans and Ray Cobley's track from last week for my second submission.  I once had John Cage's Music of Changes and Terry Riley's In C open in different browser tabs and played them at the same time to see what it would sound like.  It was interesting.  All the randomness of Changes was suddenly put into a harmonic context.  I heard Evans and Cobley's track and thought I might do something similar.  I kept it super basic and played some chords in C# Major.  Created some swelling with reverse and delay.

3 Tabs Open (disquiet0699)

This is my submission to this week's Disquiet Junto assignment. The audio panned all the way to the left was recorded by Krakenkraft as the first part of a trio. The right channel contains Boundary Objects'  contribution for the second part of the trio. My contribution can be heard panned to the center.

Third Third [disquiet0699] w/Krakenkraft and Boundary Objects

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.
