Nothingness(disquiet0602)

Naviarhaiku 497

I cancelli e le porte sono aperte o sempre chiuse?
Se il portone si chiude sei dentro o sei fuori?
E sei sicuro che, se il tempio dorme, tutto sia perfettamente immobile, fermo e in silenzio?
Non ti senti in trappola, dove il sonno diventa incubo?
Lo vedi adesso il nemico?

"Ed un giorno mi disse
Entra ti aspetterò
Ma il nemico da sempre si cattura così
Apri bene la porta
Fallo entrare da te
Lei l'ha fatto settembre
Lei l'ha fatto con me"

Alberto Fortis  Settembre   1981



Are the gates and doors open or always closed?
If the gate closes are you in or are you out?
And are you sure that, if the temple sleeps, everything is perfectly still, static and silent?
Don't you feel trapped, where sleep becomes nightmare?
Do you see the enemy now?

"And one day she told me
Come in, I'll wait for you
But the enemy has always been caught like this
Open the door well
Let him in for you
She did it September
She did it with me"

Alberto Fortis "September" 1981

Disquiet Junto Project 0604: Heaven’s Gate 

I used a video on YT as a live score. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNEjw1fMk-8&t=2550s
28:42
35:24

I divided the screen into 5 parts.
Each part is linked to an instrument channel.
Every time a cloud enters or leaves one of the 5 areas it activates a trigger/gate.

1)	Guzheng/Percussion kit
2)	Harp Harmonic - wood
3)	Prepared Kalimba
4) 	Percussion kit 2
5)	Contrabass col legno

As sound binder I used a loop generated by Reaktor (TG-8H Live by Rick Scott)

The track is a very mechanical walk, created by generative sequencers. The sounds, as in recent times, are percussive / acoustic.
Ergo very short sound envelope in order not to saturate ears and acoustic field.

Thank you for your time.

Disquiet Junto Project 0606: Three to One
Compose a piece of music with three times as much silence as sound.
There’s just one step to this project:
Compose a piece of music that is 75% silence and 25% sound.
More about this week's Disquiet Junto Project: disquiet.com/2023/08/10/disquie…0606-three-to-one/

135-45 (disquiet0606)

3 MINUTES: 180 sec.

75%: 135m sec.
25%: 45 sec.

I used 3/2/1 second bars spread throughout the score.
The sound architecture is that of the DJ 604.
Absolutely interlocutory piece.

135-45 (disquiet0606)

Disquiet Junto Project 0620: Beat Accrual Accrual
The Assignment: Turn someone’s slow-build beat into a finished track.

Step 1: In the previous project, people built beats that accrue slowly over time. Familiarize yourself with the instructions at disquiet.com/0619 5.

Step 2: Several of the musicians who participated last week have allowed their tracks to be reused for this project. The majority are in this playlist. If you’d like your track from the previous project included this week, just get in touch and let me know.


For this test I used 2 pieces from the previous compilation:
1) GoingModular - Disquieting Polyrhythm
2) fakeg3nius - [disquiet0619] Rhythm
 I was particularly fascinated by the loop, which with very few notes and chords manages to create this suspended sensation of strong melancholy and, at the same time, of hope. On the other hand, the response, dry and peremptory, of the phrasing and timbre of the drums. I added, at the beginning and end of the piece, some "disturbance" lines, always rhythmic.

Going Fake(disquiet620)

Disquiet Junto Project 0621: The Leftovers
The Assignment: Use recently discarded material to make something new.

Step 1: At the end of the calendar year, people often participate in holidays that result in lots of leftover food. Think about the leftovers — discarded tracks, or MIDI files, or ideas — that result from your music-making process.

Step 2: Scrounge around on your hard drive and recording equipment, and in your memory, to access the sort of creative leftovers that came to mind in Step 1.

Step 3: Make a new track primarily using the resources that surfaced in Step 2. You can, of course, add new material. And be sure to reheat sufficiently.

Old test file of 3 Euclidean sequencers. 
1)  Steingraeber & Söhne piano - Hirajoshi
2) Tank drum - Dorian  C3 (Left channel)
3) Kalimba - Major Pentatonic A#3 (Right channel)

Some noise filters, used in an extremely controlled manner.

Very light track, performed on tiptoes.

Disquiet Junto Project 0639: Path Ways (4 of 3)

My second piece is a cross between points 2 and 3.
As a starting piece I chose the piece by encyn, a true gem of this compilation.
I recovered what was originally supposed to be my 637, then abandoned because the track had already been chosen. In this case without channel limitations.
Starting from this 636 I followed the family tree and chose some 637s and 638s to mix on the starting track.

Step 1: Choose a favorite short story.

Step 2: Compose a piece of music that follows the arc of the story’s narrative or otherwise conveys something about the story you want to express. You may closely follow plot points, or convey an overall atmosphere, or incorporate related sound effects, or do something else entirely.


Giovanni Boccaccio - Decameron
Giornata quarta - Novella prima

Tancredi, prenze di Salerno, uccide l’amante della figliuola e mandale il cuore in una coppa d’oro; la quale, messa sopra esso acqua avvelenata, quella si bee, e cosí muore.

E velati gli occhi ed ogni senso perduto, di questa dolente vita si dipartí.

E Velati Gli Occhi(disquiet0652)

Secondo incontro con il brano di Marco Lucchi.
Cambio di metodologia: pezzo essenzialmente strumentale, con un continuo contrappunto al fluire del piano di Marco.

Strumentazione:

1) Contrabasso. Con arcata ampia e sostenuta, ideale bordone per la partitura sovrastante.
2) Calimba (molto riverberata) e mellotron. Sono i suoni armonico/percussivi che fanno da contrappunto costante al pianoforte principale.

Ideale allegoria di un passare nel chiaroscuro della luce, nella natura pura e incontaminata.

The Assignment: Music for turn signals.

Free samples and loops (old cars) from freesound.org and looperman.com.
Various rhythms distributed across the sound spectrum, filtered by different FXs.
The children's voices are produced by Speakerphone (1960 speaker IR).

The instrumental part, random/generative, is entrusted to the usual Reaktor ensembles: TG-8H, Skrewell....

Disquiet Junto Project 0705: Book Start
The Assignment: Let the beginning of a book help you begin a new piece of music. 

The chosen text is a poem by Giuseppe Ungaretti (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giuseppe_Ungaretti),
written in July 1918 in the trenches during the First World War.

Si sta come 
d'autunno 
sugli alberi 
le foglie 

https://www.sololibri.net/Soldati-poesia-Ungaretti-si-sta-come-d-autunno-sugli-alberi.html


I obtained a sequence of 7 notes (AFDGBCE – 9 5 1 7 e 0 4), which I distributed across various sequencers and instruments. In particular, I used several old patches from SampleTank 2/3.
