Disquiet Junto Project 0695: Clean After Each Use

The Assignment: Put a piece of music through the dryer.

Step 1: Think about lint for a moment — all the stuff that’s cast off from your clothes when you send them through the dryer.

Step 2: Now consider what might be cast off from your music if you could send your music through the dryer for a cycle or two.

Step 3: Select a piece of your own music, and send it through the metaphorical dryer. What results?

Tasks Upon Completion:

Label: Include “disquiet0695” (no spaces/quotes) in the name of your track.

Upload: Post your track to a public account (SoundCloud preferred but by no means required). It’s best to focus on one track, but if you post more than one, clarify which is the “main” rendition.

Share: Post your track and a description/explanation at https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0695-clean-after-each-use/

Discuss: Listen to and comment on the other tracks.

Additional Details:

Length: The length is up to you. Keep it light?

Deadline: Monday, April 28, 2024, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.

Disquiet Junto Project 0695: Clean After Each Use

I recorded some toy glockenspiel on top of my telecaster. On the other track good old electric guitar feedback.

Tulppaanit

This work is based on a single sound source—bubbling water. Through time-stretching, reversal, reverb, and distortion, the original organic fluidity is gradually stripped away, transforming into cold, violent mechanical howls and fragmented noise. This sonic metamorphosis symbolizes the alienation of human souls under the rules of capitalism, ultimately crushed and consumed by the system.

The Assignment: Put a piece of music through the dryer.

I used "Waking Up in a Strange Room" from "Strange Rooms" https://krakenkraft.bandcamp.com/album/strange-rooms

The original from 2020 was heavy on delay and reverb. I removed all delay and reverb and even added two reverb-removing filters. So I "dryed" the sound. – I additionally made it shorter, because the dryer shrunked it. I changed all but the sequencer lines to strange sounds that are non-melodic, because the dryer changed the colour and totally ruined my clothing. – I like the result very much, because it's somehow an even wilder ride than the original.

This one got my head spinning, in a good way. It so happens that this week’s challenge coincided with the arrival of the Ferrous from Landscape FM, which is basically a spinning magnetic disc that can be used to create resonances with iron based materials, such as steel strings. So I took the literal route on that one. Dryers spin. So does the Ferrous. The second step was to imagine what would be cast off and what would be left behind should I send my music through a metaphorical dryer. I decided to focus both on what would be left behind and what would be cast off. First, the heaviest instrument in our household would be left behind, which happens to be a concert grand piano that my partner inherited from her father who used to play jazz standards on it - something that no one else in our household can do, sadly. Also left behind, would be anything that I could fit in my pocket and clutch onto, which happens to be the ferrous. And cast aside — all the other instruments, cables and fluff that clutters most electronic studios. Remaining are only two elements - the grand piano and the Ferrous in my pocket, which together are the sources for what you hear. The sounds were captured with a field record (which I could also cling to), which include fumbling and traffic noises. There is one effect “Fragments”— the only one that I could hang onto. And that’s it. There is something to be said for lint.

lint [disquiet0695]

Oh NO! 😱 Look what's come out in the wash! 😳 It's a re-re-re-remix ... ! 😮

So this all started with a remix of a brilliant Tingle Taspestry ASMR video, which you can sink your teeth into at https://youtu.be/JrczIGHyJzU ...

A 'stress busting' experimental super loop version that forms the basis of THIS track can be sampled at https://youtu.be/yb6mBbDePxY ...

Enjoy!! 😁

Disquiet Junto 0696's assignment was to record 10 to 15 layers of continuous sound and create a piece of music only by altering their relative presence over time.

I immediately thought of the story of how the iconic 1975 10cc song "I'm Not In Love" was created. The backing vocals are lush and rich and unearthly. (If you don't know the song, just listen to the first 30 seconds or so to get the gist). The story is that the band recorded themselves each singing a long, sustained note until they had 48 notes on individual 12' tape loops. For the final recording, the tape loops were played simultaneously and mixed into harmonies live on the console, essentially turning the mixer into a musical instrument. 

With this technique as inspiration, I recorded 7 tracks of ebow guitar, each playing a different note in the A harmonic minor scale. Ebow can make dynamics difficult but I managed some good textures I think. I hand-mixed each of the tracks to come in and out in sequence, creating a rising step pattern.

Then I bounced the seven guitar tracks to a single track. This track was duplicated and pitch shifted to create 4 tracks spanning 4 octaves. This essentially multiplied my original 7 tracks by 4 to give me 28 guitars. I applied volume automation to create a primitive Shepard scale out of the result.

Aside from a couple of acousmatic accents and a low-fi kick drum, every sound is from the guitar.

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.
