Disquiet Junto Project 0563: Digital Magical Realism
The Assignment: What does this imaginary genre sound like?

Step 1: Think about what a genre means, where it begins, where it ends, what makes a genre a genre.

Step 2: Familiarize yourself with the concept of magical realism, most often associated with the fiction of such authors as Gabriel García Márquez, Isabel Allende, Jorge Luis Borges, Alice Hoffman, and Haruki Murakami, among others.

Step 3: Imagine what “digital magical realism” would sound like, were it the name of a genre.

Step 4: Record a piece of music that sounds like what you think “digital magical realism” sounds like.

The Assignment: Use a building as a filter.

Step 1: You’re going to use a wall in a building, perhaps your workplace or residence, as a filter. Consider these instructions carefully before selecting the appropriate wall. Some trial and error may be required.

Step 2: You’re going to record a track in which the rhythmic element is heard through a wall. That is: you’ll record the rhythm track, and then play it loud from another room (or outside), and record what it sounds like as separated by a wall. Choose a wall.

Step 3: Record the rhythm, track.

Step 4: Re-record the rhythm track from Step 3 by playing it on one side of a wall and recording from the other side of that wall.

Step 5: Record a piece of music using the recording from Step 4 as the foundational rhythm track.

Eight Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0583” (no spaces or quotation marks) in the name of your tracks.

Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag “disquiet0583” (no spaces or quotation marks). If you’re posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to subsequent location of tracks for the creation of a project playlist.

Step 3: Upload your tracks. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your tracks.

Step 4: Post your track in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0583-wall-to-wall/

Step 5: Annotate your track with a brief explanation of your approach and process.

Step 6: If posting on social media, please consider using the hashtag #DisquietJunto so fellow participants are more likely to locate your communication.

Step 7: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Step 8: Also join in the discussion on the Disquiet Junto Slack. Send your email address to marc@disquiet.com for Slack inclusion.

Note: Please post one track for this weekly Junto project. If you choose to post more than one, and do so on SoundCloud, please let me know which you’d like added to the playlist. Thanks.

Additional Details:

Deadline: Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, March 6, 2023, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, March 2, 2023.

Upload: When participating in this project, be sure to include a description of your process in planning, composing, and recording it. This description is an essential element of the communicative process inherent in the Disquiet Junto. Photos, video, and lists of equipment are always appreciated.

Disquiet Junto Project 0609: Speed Limit Pt 1
The Assignment: Record a track at precisely 60 BPM with the intention someone will subsequently rework it.

I'm traveling right now so all I had was my iPad. It's 60bpm, Cminor and 4/4. I sequenced something with MiRack Modular in 60bpm but I found it too boring. I put it into my favourite granular Samplr and resequenced it with 60bpm and some odd delay. I added some of my own voice to get us into the pop charts. There is even some live pool water noise field recording, but maybe to silent. 

The cover cat is owned by the owners of the house I live at the moment, and it's sleeping the whole day. Have fun, whoever adds to this track.

And yes, it was originally meant to be named "catnAp" …

BandCamp

Catnip in 60bpm [disquiet0609]

Grain | Stream
for 2 pianists and 2 percussionists & electronics

Première:
October 22nd, 2023 - Donaueschinger Musiktage 

Performers:
Yarn/Wire
Russell Greenberg, Sae Hashimoto (Percussion)
Laura Barger, Julia Den Boer (Klavier)

The idea of stream recalled in the title and central in the piece has been inspired by Anselm Kiefer’s painting Alchemie consists of two canvases showing a dry desert-like landscape connected by a balance. A rainfall of salt and sunflower seeds falling down from the balance’s dishes. 
That’s a strong symbol of a possible new life re-growing from the desert landscape which is directly connected with the art of alchemy transforming lead into gold.


On the other hand streams of grains (especially salt) are traditionally associated with purification rituals of mind and spirit.
Driven by the strong symbolic meaning of this canvas and the message of hope that it conveys to me, I imagined a sound-world made of grains and streams which arise from silence and saturate space and time until leading the perception to an in-between dimension where temporal references are loosen.
