beautiful work, inspired concept and use of field material

I really like the build-up you created and how you used/effected the starting loop! Great!

I took a brief portion of a field recording I made several years ago of high tide in Provincetown Harbor (Provincetown, MA), and subjected it to a process inspired by Alvin Lucier's "I Am Sitting in a Room". I iteratively processed the sound through a convolution reverb using an impulse response (IR) from an empty concrete nuclear reactor hall, Each successive generation re-applies the reverb so that eventually we hear only the resonant frequencies in the space from which the IR was derived. This was a manual process, as I wanted to preserve the ever-increasing reverb tails, and also to control the reverb level to avoid digital distortion (which can be cool, but not what I was after).

When I assembled the segments into a single track, I decided to reverse the order so that the most highly-processed segment comes first, and the original recording is only heard at the end of the piece.

Made in Reaper using the Waves IRLive Stereo plugin. The IR is from the OpenAIR Project: https://www.openair.hosted.york.ac.uk/?page_id=626

I Am Tiding In A Concrete Room [disquiet0590]

When I listened to encym´s contribution to the disquiet0592 this morning, I could not help but play a little with it - it is such a wonderful piece of music. I played a theremin-sound on my synthesizer

Encounters in the disquiet0593

Wilfried Hanrath with Andreas Kitzmann & encym - Encounters  in the disquiet0593

A phone recording of a wood by a lake near where I live, wind noise and all, filtered manually using a Morgasmatron and Q-PAS on separate passes. These 'performances' were layered and band limited. A short loop was then progressively un-band-limited, step-by-step. Very little of the original recording or filter performances remain in the final mix as the slightly hypnotic loop takes over.

You'll hear a few clicks and glitches that I was delighted crept in somehow!

Recorded the undulating movement of washing rice in a bowl. Processed it with various resonating filters, flutter and saturation.

Ricewash (disquiet0595)

I saw organist Frédéric Blondy play Éliane Radigue's first work for organ, 'Occam Ocean XXV' at the Union Chapel, Islington in 2018, it was an incredible piece to hear played live. That performance and piece inspired me for an earlier Disquiet Junto (https://soundcloud.com/leonclowes/kept-an-octave-apart-disquiet0564) and this one too (https://soundcloud.com/leonclowes/disquiet0554).

So it was a delight to strip this back even further this week. Playing just the note F I recorded and panned this same note five times using the cinematic preset Still Moment on Logic Pro X, slowly manually adjusting the filter, filter gate, panner and harmonics for 111 bars at a 120 tempo. While it's all about the magic numbers (111) for me, I heard a glitch at just under 30 seconds in when I saved the track as a WAV file and opened it up on Audacity to add in a fade in and fade out (I don't know how to do that yet on Logic... tiny steps self training...)

Filter Progression (disquiet0595)

A work in progress / abandonded track from early 2023, finished and remixed June 1st 2023.
This track, I created earlier this year for the same proto-jazz proyect that generated my track for [junto0584](https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz/nocturnal-studio-jam-number-2) this was intended to be a jazz-lounge jam, I recorded the electric piano part over a jazz drum loop and a walking upright bass, then decided that I wanted a more lounge/funky beta and grabbed a different loop. I clicked on the wrong loop-file an dI got this weird electro-beat that completely destroyed the track's jazz feel. I tried to re record the bass, with a fretless bass, more soul-funk groovy but it didn't work, it was too hybrid.

So as the track evolved from a jazz jam to...well, this; I decided to tweak a couple of things, mix it and share it with you as my example of Phylogeny.

Recorded early 2023 by DD in Paris, FR,
Fretless bass guitar
Electric piano
Drum loops and synthesizers.

Endless echo footsteps on an empty house once full of life naviarhaiku 512

hello everyone,

i took one of my favourite lines from wallace stevens

"sad men made angels of the sun"

and converted it to morse code midi, which i then used to trigger the different parts of a sampled drum kit.

kick = steady beat

sad = hihats
men = snare
made = floor tom
angels = rack toms
of = ride cymbal
the = agogo
sun = finger cymbals

the drums slowly fade into a return track (shifter at -12st >> reverb >> distortion)

the cymbals slowly fade into another return track (arturia efx fragments) which then slowly bleeds back into the first return track

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 🥰
