Disquiet Junto Project 0488: Reverse Delay

I left this one aside till I read today's challenge. It is just an idea, played on a borrowed Gibson Les Paul using a borrowed Epiphone little tube amp. I Was charmed by the tone and played some simple strummed chords and promised to work on it later. I tried to do something with this several times during the past few months but always failed and left it for a more inspiring day, again and again.

Today I opened the master, it was very short (1.5 minutes) and I found two takes of the original recording on that Gibson Les Paul (Dec 2020), some aborted Organ overdub (Jan 2021) and some cymbal washes (Mar 2021). 

I cleaned all that up a little, added a bass doubling the Les Paul root notes, took a picture of the Les Paul (still here, she might be claimed back at any moment now) and I'm done with this one.

For this challenge:
Step 1: Think of something music-related you’ve been putting off: finishing a track, starting a track, fixing a piece of hardware, updating a piece of software, trying out something one last time before discarding it. Whatever comes to mind. Preferably something that’s been bothering you.

Step 2: Make a piece of music that checks off the list whatever it was you recognized, in Step 1, you’d been putting off.

Second Chance(disquiet0488)

“The unadorned idea of a goal is ambiguous,” writes the neuroscientist Read Montague in his book Your Brain Is (Almost) Perfect. “As with any complex information-processing system, there are many levels of software in the brain … all other subgoals take a backseat to the most important edict—‘Stay alive until tomorrow.’”

One could be forgiven for procrastinating creative efforts during these past fourteen or so months. Alternatively, such conditions may also inspire a flurry of new activity that otherwise would not have happened. Regardless, some amount of stuff doesn’t get done.

Suss Müsik had an album ready to go for nearly a year before actually completing and releasing it this week. The concept was to revisit prior works with simpler, more spare arrangements. 

Suss Müsik was also interested in exploring what French philosopher Gilles Deleuze described as “figurative analogies,” blurring the auditory lines between how digital and analogue sounds are represented.

This week’s Junto contribution, titled Deleuze, is the demo of a track that wasn’t included on an album that almost never got made. A figurative analogy, perhaps, for what we mean to do vs. what we actually do.

I started this many years ago, but I could never get it right.  This week's disquiet prompt gave me a reason to dust it off, dress it up and set it out here.

Fascination

“Take the sound of the stone aging.”
Yoko Ono

Stones are the witnesses of: There are still deep connections to the archaic stories of our ancestors. We see the same skies, taste the same winds and tell the same stories about who we were and who we will become.

Stepping into the stones’s and sediments perspective: being exposed to the elements for ages and excavated, listening to the meandering tales of mankind.

The Assignment: Make some daylight drones for Drone Day.

Step 1: May 25 each year is Drone Day, more about which at droneday.org. This Junto project begins before Drone Day, on the 23rd, and ends after, on the 27th. So, take Drone Day in spirit if not as a calendrical certainty.  

Step 2: Think about drones, and the tonality they suggest.

Step 3: Think about making drones that suggest daylight instead of, say, darkness.

Step 4: Record a “day drone” in light of the thinking you did in Step 3.

Thanks for stopping by - please enjoy what you hear! 🤗 Any time you want to look as well as listen, head over to the YouTube channel ...

Apparently, the ‘hai’ in ‘haiku’ translates to ‘joke’, ‘fun’, or ‘unusual’, which is part of the inspiration for the odd name of this venture; an evolving project nurtured by Darren Bourne, in collaboration with countless others, past and present. The ongoing obsessions of halF unusuaL are improvisation, chance and the music / non-music boundary, with the aim of (impossibly) creating sound worlds never heard before ... Thank you so much for your support 🥰

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.
