“Wherever we are, what we hear is mostly noise. When we ignore it, it disturbs us. When we listen to it, we find it fascinating,” John Cage said in his 1937 lecture, “The Future of Music: Credo.” He continued: “The sound of a truck at fifty miles per hour. Static between the stations. Rain. We want to capture and control these sounds, to use them, not as sound effects, but as musical instruments.” In this week’s Disquiet Junto project, we take the proposition literally.

Repetition Legitimizes - disquiet0483

Disquiet Junto Project 0483: Type Set. The Assignment: Use a recording of yourself typing something as the underlying rhythmic track for a piece of music.

A half generative patch with A-110-1 & Mother-32 sequenced by Rene, plus multiple (and more or less rhythmic) accompaniments with Apple wireless keyboards. The biggest challenge turned out to be capturing what I hear every day from morning to night: the keyboard. I didn’t want to exaggerate the typing noises. Because I was dissatisfied with everything, there is now a mixture of acoustic recording, contact mic recording and electromagnetic telephone coil recording, like in the track image. All typing is live (some loops), it started with words in the (contact mic) beginnings, which didn’t work out for me, so the later versions (acoustic, now starting right at the beginning, and em) are dada typings. Bottom line: I would have preferred to use only the electromagnetic version, but using only this would have felt like cheating. Have fun!

Recording the second part of a trio - I chose the track by Peter Eisenhower:  https://soundcloud.com/peter-eisenhauer/disquiet0472-jamtime-1-of-3
I remixed it so that it was spread more across the left half of the stereo field, and then added two improvised layers on Novation Summit, one of which is panned so that it occupies mainly the right half of the stereo field.  Plenty of scope for someone to add something else in the middle!

Systemmetry

During the early 1990s I studied Mathematics and Computer Science. The world wide web was still largely text-based and mostly empty. Today things are obviously different, though I still thoroughly enjoy art, design, cinema and music in all its forms. I have traveled all over the world for nearly two decades, visiting just over 140 countries. Japan is my favorite. All of this I attempt to incorporate into my music and art.
