Disquiet Junto Project 0545: Unself-Awareness
The Assignment: Learn from feedback intended for others.

Step 1: This project builds on the previous one, but you needn’t have participated in project 0544 to do 0545. In project 0544, participants posted tracks for which they wanted feedback from other participants. Familiarize yourself with the discussion here:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0544-feedback-loop/

Step 2: Pay particular attention to the feedback provided in the comments as the discussion thread proceeds.

Step 3: Choose one bit of feedback, and think about how you might apply it to your own music.

Step 4: Create or make a new track that benefits from what you learned in Step 3.

Step 5: Consider providing feedback to other people’s tracks.

Note: The Lines BBS runs on a discussion platform called Discourse, which has some built-in restrictions. Among these is that you can’t reply too many times to the same thread before someone else replies first. This is a “consecutive replies” matter. The best practice is to compile feedback to multiple tracks, and to tag reach recipient in one reply. If those instructions aren’t clear, just wait a little while after tracks begin to appear on the thread. Soon enough you’ll see examples of people doing exactly this.

. . .

Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, June 13, 2022, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, June 9, 2022.

High Tide (disquiet0530)

This track started out as an experiment on the number 2600 and the concept of "phreaking" as suggested by the Disquiet Junto Project 0542 (see below).

But as the music developped these initial inspirations were lost, and the track evolved into a description of the happy state of being boarded by a pirate of love - a pirate you already secretly love...

Thanks to Alan Bland for proposing this concept for a project.

Low Country Twat (disquiet0545)

Same last week's master reworked and remixed, with great feedback from friends and colleagues (see post here: https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0545-unself-awareness/56084/11?u=dede)

Original track here:
https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz/time-lapse

I did not completely delete and rework from the ground, (considered it as a pretty
I introduced some variation in the new 8 bar sections, dropping tracks completely sometimes for more clarity 
I tried to make a less confusing mix, something that bothered me from the original, albeit keeping the generous amount of melodic-rhythmic stuff)
I tweaked some timing between bass and arp, and added 36 extra seconds, tried to give more focus on the bass and kick that I edited and remixed drastically

and most notably I added some Krautrock drums.

Thanks Mark @disquiet for the wonderful thread.

[disquiet0545] Variation

Based on the advice @fake-genius gave to @user-467414884 in the previous Disquiet Junto prompt: "Bass, even some trumpet, can easily be added IMO" this track uses only Ableton's Trumpet from the Orchestral Brass pack and Softube's Monoment Bass, with plenty of modulation and reverb effects.

parp (disquiet0545)

This track follows the inspiration of the Disquiet Junto Project 0564: Encode a secret message in music.
Some rather trivial phrases that could be found in love letters are encoded in a melody that guided the creation of this track.

The Billet Doux (Disquiet0546)

Yesterday midnight, after I got the email , I dared to sing some tracks improvising harmonies in C major.
It was fun, I did some serious Melodyne, particularly on the first basic tracks (2 of them) then two more falsetto improvisations and a 5th track using pitch shift for some extreme lows.

The rest is 4 reverbs:
Valhalla Hypemassive
Lexicon Random Hall (@22 sec)
St Patrick cathedral impulse response
Some automated LFO  filter on a long Valhalla reverb

Created on the first hours of Friday July 1st 2022.

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.

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.
