Disquiet Junto Project 0597: Goal Line
The Assignment: Get started on a plan by getting over getting started.

Step 1: For a lot of people right now, it’s around the start of summer. For many of them, it can mean the start of one plan or another. You may very well have musical goals for the next few months. Think of one to focus on.

Step 2: Don’t wait. Record one piece of music that kick-starts whatever goal you’re working toward. Often the first step is the most difficult. Take that step.

This week’s project takes the start of summer as its theme. And if it’s the start of winter where you are, instead, I hope that it can still apply.

Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, June 12, 2023, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, June 8, 2023.

Time Machine

Time Machine (disquiet0526) - encym | muterial

Short guitar improvisation (consisting of overdubbed layers) of one minute in length. Stratocaster (buzzing), Delay (tape crinkle), Logic (recording). 

Gentle innit?
But it also contains an unsettling moment amidst all the warmth and tenderness.

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!

I've been meaning to engage with NI Playbox for a while now ... coupled with needing to start work on some of the video projects planned for the halF unusuaL YouTube channel, including this recording of a bee harvesting pollen from the first poppy to flower in the back garden ... https://youtu.be/I983Kk6enPI

Among other projects, I intend to work on a range of tracks using Pure Data. This is is a live sequence recently created.

Gravity (disquiet0597)

A few minutes from my practice session with a simple improvisation setup: a portable electric piano through overdrive & compressor through tape delay.

I simply in love with how the stereo phaser & tremolo of the electric piano sound get transformed into that overdriven electric guitar soundscape that is constantly undulating and moving.

Support Your Local Sunrise [disquiet0597]

Ten days ago, summer started here with lovely warm weather, so this prompt is spot on. My goals were the following:
- Try out the new Microfreak firmware
- Be spontaneous, no DAW, plugins, iPad
- Use Bastl Dude, the two Kastles and Monome Norns
First, I tried to find a not too harsh rhythm on the Kastle Drum, then I connected it to the original Kastle to add a bassline. Next I improvised to this with one of the new Microfreak patches. I ran everything through Norns RPLS and recorded to tape. The first recording was a bit so-so, so I tried to find a better rhythm on the Kastle. But as always: turn one knob one mm and there is no way back to what you had before. So I ended up on a Kastle Odyssee of knobs and tiny patch cables, various short and long takes until for some reason the Kastle generated some sort of melody which finally led to the result you can hear now.

Disquiet0597 - Microkastle

This disquiet0597 assignment inspired me to go someplace different:

1. Leave the beatless path for a bit. 

2. Write electronic, polyrhythmic, odd time sig material for a planned recording session later this year in London. 

3. Polypulse, polyrhythms, odd time signatures.

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!

Through The Woods Not Alone [disquiet0317] - encym, Nate Trier & Benn DeMole

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!
