Disquiet Junto Project 0619: Beat Accrual
The Assignment: Rebuild a complicated rhythm from scratch.

As is generally the case with any instructions, it’s best to read all the way through before beginning.

Step 1: Create a complicated beat (define “complicated” as you see fit). Keep track of the individual parts.

Step 2: Record a track in which the beat from Step 1 slowly accrues over time. For example, break the original beat into its constituent parts and then add one at a time, repeating the arrival of each addition for four beats (assuming you’re doing the project in 4/4). That’s just one way to accomplish this.

Also: You might adorn the beat with other elements while it’s accumulating, or after, or you might simply leave it on its own.

Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, November 13, 2023, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, November 9, 2023.

Lovely prompt this one, thanks Marc @disquiet!

I went for a bit of a beat workout, selecting sounds and building up an odd time groove on the Machinedrum, before further tweaking in the DAW ensued, pushing things around, adding chords and bass tracks and whatnot, until this speedy odd time tune felt like it built up nicely, had a good flow and was going somewhere. Heaps of fun!!

Enjoy!

brushstroke, faulty [disquiet0102-sonictinsel]

Thanks, Tobias & Marc, for this fun assignment!

My process in a nutshell: Using two instances of Ableton's Sampler loaded with my guitar recordings, I sequenced the provided "John Cage" chord, using the first version of Marc's MIDI file, so it's actually the wrong Cage chord --- hence the title "noncage". 
With some pushing around of this source material, a slow-morphing, overlapping atmospheric track fell into place. 
To top it all off, I just flipped the whole thing, turning it into a lovely background echoey backwards guitar concoction. 
So as to make things more listenable, I provided a little bit of supplementary fodder and smoothed out some of the rougher edges in Cubase.

Enjoy!

From the EP "Smilers" June 2023
Hello Oxnard!!!
We're a rock & roll band
We'll rock & roll until we die
We've got rock & roll in our souls
And it's eating it's way out from the inside
Cover band superstars!

We look like we've been going about 20 years too long
5 fat geezers
All playing a different song
We're encumbered by music industry success
But, we are pure
We are holy
Cover band superstars!

We we're gonna put out our 1st album
It would be a masterpiece
Then we we're gonna fake our own deaths
Thereby securing our legacy
In the rock & roll mythology
Oh, but look at me now
Singing songs
"pour some sugar on me"
"anyone wanna hear bohemian rhapsody?"

It's enough to make you fall out of love with rock & roll
You know who we are
Meet me at the bar
Cover band superstars!

A man has to live his dreams
No matter what...

Cover Band Superstars!

lyrics:
Another day goes by
another war inside my head

another trace of fear
but i never won't give in

Another night passed by
another midnight washed my sins

but i will face the day
no i never won't look grim


You said go and face your demons
don't let another day get wasted!

Death is the enemy, Death is the enemy oHhhh Ohhhh Ohhhh
Death is the enemy, Death is the enemy oHhhh Ohhhh Ohhhh
Death is the enemy, Death is the enemy oHhhh Ohhhh Ohhhh


Another year goes by
another book of memories 

and time doesn't wait
doesn't wait for no one

and don't you look away
you have to stand on your own feet

no matter what will come
you have to get your shit together


fight the good fight
fight the good fight

Rock and Roll Kills

Death is the enemy

Open the cuboard and get out your meracas! 

This is a lively little number to bring warmth to the  gloomy autumn and winter days!

Beat Accrual

Disquiet Junto | Beat Accrual - disquiet0619

I seldom work like this: creating a charged “full steam” pattern and placing it at the end of a crescendo, then moving backwards removing stuff till there’s nothing left at the beginning. I did it with drum programs a lot, but also with repetitive stuff (pianos, guitars) à la Reich/Riley. I like to have an idea of my “tutti”, my maximum peak in density and intensity, then going there from zero.
This track, recorded today Friday November 10th 2023, started with a programmed drum beat (using for the first time in decades my good old Alesis D4 module that remained unplugged in my rack, just to fill a space)
To complete I added two tracks of a Matrix 12 synth and cello samples (noisy)
The patter is 16 beats long but never in 4x4 time signature, it does something like 7x8 + 6x8 + 3x8
The synths are in straight 4/4.
The weirdness of the drum patter becomes evident as we progress and more elements appear.

The photo is mine, I can’t recall what that is. Paris 2019, it says in the folder…

Bad Beat (disquiet0619)

I play the drums so this disquiet assignment appealed to me. 

I decided that complex for me meant complex timing. I wanted to play something in odd time signatures, and I feel like the number 23 is underrepresented in music. Here was my process:

1. I improvised a 4 bar drum beat in 23/8 time (which I really counted as 8/8, 5/8, 7/8, 3/8), and recorded it in Ableton. 

2. I experimented with a few ways to “accrue” the beat, and decided to accrue by time rather than by part.

3. In Ableton Live, I edited the beat to repeat, but only play a section before repeating. I chose Fibonacci numbers for the length. For the first repeat only 1 8th note of the 4 bar 23/8 repeat plays. Second repeat, 2 8th notes. Third repeat, 3 8th notes. Fourth repeat 5 8th notes, etc until the entire beat is revealed. It took on the feel of a breakbeat.

4. For more accrual, I copied the original 4 bar beat to another track, and used a filter slowly introduce it beneath the Fibonacci cut breakbeat. They are not aligned at first, so there is a kind of beating that takes place between the two until the last full repeat where they are completely aligned.

I started initially with a 6/4 framework but hopefully the meter is fairly unclear and confounding throughout.

In this electrifying 2024, we're buzzing with excitement as we celebrate 40 years of Flexi, the record emporium that's weathered countless storms amidst the ever-shifting tides of the music industry, catering to vinyl aficionados across the ages. Alongside the raves and swag, no doubt, there's a killer compilation dropping on the indie label "Flexi Cuts," dubbed evocatively as "Musica Solida" spread across 3 or perhaps 4 12-inch samplers, boasting a carefully curated selection of singles from cherished Flexi-affiliated artists and producers. The vision? To cultivate a virtuous movement of sublime tunes, echoing the fervor and zeal to persist within the realm of quality that Flexi embodies within the Italian scene, alongside kindred spirits... despite the daunting challenges of the market in recent years.

Following their first ‘DJ TOYS’ compilation, that was celebrated by DJ Mag, played at Berghain several times and drew support from DJs like Âme, Avalon Emerson, Barker, Baumecker and Ben Sims, queer feminist party collective and record label TOYS Berlin are back with their second ‘DJ TOYS’ installment. Representing the boundary-pushing sound spectrum of the TOYS universe, up-and-coming producers DAEDE, Eklekta, ASA 808, Jon Selbo, Jakob Mäder and OSO are transcending UK bass/garage, Trance and House in five forward-thinking underground gems.

This fast-paced, synth-driven track is a strong blend of energy and emotion. Troubleshoot Recordings co-founder Jon Selbo weaves together intricate layers of synthesized chords, driving baselines with ethereal vocal snippets that elevate the track, whilst adding layers of depth. With a tempo that relentlessly propels the listener forward, this song captures the essence of a night that refuses to end, embodying the euphoric highs and introspective lows of the club experience.

PREMIERE: Jon Selbo  - Keep Ur Luv

This is an asynchronous collaboration between three musician, each recorded one week apart. Left channel recorded first by encym (https://soundcloud.com/encymlll/first-chair-by-encym-disquiet0315) the right channel second by Nate Trier (https://soundcloud.com/triermusic/they-call-me-the-backwoods-debussy-disquiet0316) then I added the saxophone in the centre.

The harmonic space created by encym and Nate, along with the "liveness" of each recording made a real pleasure to add my part to. Thanks unmet collaborators!

I had the pleasure of adding to last week's minimal-ish composition https://soundcloud.com/bearp-aw/revolving-spoons-disquiet0368?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0368 by @jesuisgentil and @bearp-aw.

Thanks guys for throwing down such a nice gauntlet!

I added various drum sounds (one IDM-ish, heavily gated one and a 4-to-the-floor bass drum with side-chaining to the basic track) as well as e-bowed guitar.

Enjoy!
