This is a something in between a re-mix and a re-make of an old montage piece based on recordings of electrostatic generators that I made in Teylers Museum (Haarlem), and sounds I designed around that. The piece was left out of the actual series of pieces ('Beauty Sleepers') performed there as part of the Toon festival in 2001. The re-make/re-model version was made in loving dedication to my father who passed away on January 24th 2022.

Disquiet Junto Project 0572: Rhythm Kit
The Assignment: Make a beat that someone else will add to.

On ebay I shot an old, rancid, scuffed Casio PT-1 as a restoration object for the holidays. It came yesterday and at the same time the disquiet junto mail came in. And it worked. Ah, I liked these rhumba rhythms like I did 40 years ago. Originally I just wanted to contribute that. But then I recorded a 4 bar loop and used 4 tracks on reaper to play around with some fx. I exported it and gave it some structure in Reaper.  It's now only the original loop plus fx. I think there is plenty of room for a second voice. 

The pure PT-1 is hearable in the beginning. I also put the original loop to https://freesound.org/people/krakenkraft/sounds/665090/ 

It's plain vanilla 120bpms.

1x4 bars original loop 
4x4 bars modified loops coming in
1x4 bars original loop
4x4 bars modified loops
1x4 bars original loop
2x4 bars modified loops going out and back to unmodified

Casio PT-1 Rhumba 120bpm [disquiet0572]

Disquiet Junto Project 0572: Rhythm Kit
The Assignment: Make a beat that someone else will add to.

Note: This project is the first of a two-parter. You don’t need to participate in both, and you can easily participate in the second one (next week) even if you don’t participate in the first one.

Instruction: Record a beat with the intension that someone other than yourself will add something to it at a later date. It’s preferable that you record something that lasts between one and three minutes, but it’s also fine to record something shorter with the intention that someone will loop it — or something longer, for that matter.

Rock the bells - disquiet0572

When taking the time today to listen to all the contributions to the disquiet0593 and downloading here and there, I noticed one thing: 
many people, including myself, seem to tend to upload their tracks to the disquiet junto projects by their working titles, so when you have downloaded quite a few  like myself today, it is impossible to trace the tracks back to their creators. Which is quite a pity. 
So I cannot say which tracks I cut out pieces to loop them, alas, even  if I would want to credit the respective musicians. 
The track from the disquiet0593 I chose to re-imagine for this week´s project, is RabMusicLab´s La tête éblouissante: https://soundcloud.com/rabmusiclab/la-tete-eblouissante
RabMusicLab created his track from the disquiet0592 by encym who added to Andreas Kitzmann´s solo-track from the disquiet0591

Toutes eblouissantes

Wilfried Hanrath - Toutes éblouissantes (disquiet0594)

the task came at the right time
i've been working on the moog matriarch for days
especially patches with different modulation sources and destinations
so:
matriarch in drone mode
sample & hold out modulated via attenuator filter cut of 1 & 2
wave out modulates stereo delay time in 1
then played around a bit with cut off, resonance and spacing

i love my matriarch

take a filter ride(disquiet0595)

My first Disquiet Junto submission in quite a while.  In this track I decided to explore a dozen or so FX available in Logic Pro, which I use to master most of my music.  Various tracks use flanging, compression, distortion, echo, reverb, multi-band filtering, stereo tremolo, etc., in various combinations.  For the most part I left the source tracks intact, with a few exceptions, and quite a bit of looping.
Thanks go to Marcus Fischer for the source samples!

ReachingOut

ReachingOut [disquiet0600]

Disquiet Junto Project 0600: Reaching Out
The Assignment: This is a shared sample project. Rework a set of seven WAV files provided by Marcus Fischer.

Step 1: The musician Marcus Fischer, long a friend of and participant in the Disquiet Junto, has graciously put together a set of shared samples that will be the source audio for this project. Part of the beauty of a shared sample project is that there will be an underlying quality — a tonality, a texture, a commonality — to all the disparate works that are produced from the foundational material. Listening to the variations as they surface will be its own special source of pleasure. You can access the files here:

https://www.dropbox.com/t/TGexgpq93GPLGFxE 34

Step 2: You can rework the audio from Step 1 in any way that you see fit. You can use all of it, or just one tiny piece, or whatever subset you find strikes your ear. The one stipulation is your finished piece should begin and end with an unadulterated segment of one of the provided tracks for at least two seconds. Please credit Marcus Fischer when posting your track.

Eight Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0600” (no spaces or quotation marks) in the name of your tracks.

Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag “disquiet0600” (no spaces or quotation marks). If you’re posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to subsequent location of tracks for the creation of a project playlist.

Step 3: Upload your tracks. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your tracks.

Step 4: Post your track in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0600-reaching-out/

Step 5: Annotate your track with a brief explanation of your approach and process.

Step 6: If posting on social media, please consider using the hashtag #DisquietJunto so fellow participants are more likely to locate your communication.

Step 7: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Step 8: Also join in the discussion on the Disquiet Junto Slack. Send your email address to marc@disquiet.com for Slack inclusion.

Note: Please post one track for this weekly Junto project. If you choose to post more than one, and do so on SoundCloud, please let me know which you’d like added to the playlist. Thanks.

Additional Details:

Length: The length is up to you.

Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, July 3, 2023, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, June 29, 2023.

Upload: When participating in this project, be sure to include a description of your process in planning, composing, and recording it. This description is an essential element of the communicative process inherent in the Disquiet Junto. Photos, video, and lists of equipment are always appreciated.

Download: It is always best to set your track as downloadable and allowing for attributed remixing (i.e., a Creative Commons license permitting non-commercial sharing with attribution, allowing for derivatives).

For context, when posting the track online, please be sure to include this following information:

DC feat. the samples of Marcus Fischer  - disquiet0600

My contribution to Disquiet Junto Project 0600. The opportunity to participate in this is special to me as I participated on Project 0004 which also featured wonderful samples from Marcus Fischer. I created a piece that is still a personal favorite.

Approach and process - I was extremely time constrained with only a few hours to put something together. I built it around a heavily re-worked and effected version of the file '600_PSU_stairs-mfischer'. I used Bitwig Studio, a lot of automation, and a few time stretching tricks. 

I hope Marcus provides more raw material in the future. Thank you to Marc and Marcus for putting this together.

Reaching Out And Reaching Back - Disquiet0600

This track is meant to make the listener feel floating - like being in love. Of course there are also moments of uncertainty and confusion...
Being on cloud number nine translates to être sur un petit nuage - this explains the title.

un petit nuage (Disquiet0603)

A track consisting of around 75% silence interrupted by bursts of noise from an original field recording made by the shore, a little reverb added.
