Poem:

the edge of the world
– the road vanishes into
a curtain of mist

Created Friday 11th February 2022 by DD

For this challenge:
Disquiet Junto Project 0528: Landscape Architecture
The Assignment: Forge an unobtrusive path through musical flora.

I stared by writing a simple but quite precise chord progression with voicings and all (A-A-B+Coda), and recorded that on 3 electric bass tracks performing artificial harmonics, a 4th melodic bass track using a volume pedal, and a 5th track of normal bass notes. Glued it with an analogue synth pad.

To walk unobstructive through that  full and chatty bed of bass guitar notes  I used a Melodica line, performed on the higher register and recorded using my ribbon microphone to grab as much room sound and less attack as possible, avoiding to interfere with the sparkling, ping-ponging bell-like harmonics.

Landscape Architecture(disquiet0528)

For this week's Disquiet we've been asked to imagine a path through fragile vegetation. Two synths hooked up to Stochas provide the "vegetation" and another synth provides the "path", echoed by a guitar.

disquiet0529 - Squared Off

This is the 529th consecutive weekly Disquiet Junto project. The number 529 is what happens when you take the number 23 and multiply it by itself.

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0529-squared-off/52842

Considering the number 23 here...
Three percussion tracks, of 23/4, 23/8, and 23/16.
One percussion track, of 23/8, with a bouncing ball algorithm for repeated fading midi notes with Mass and Gravity set to (sensible multiples of) 23.
One 4/4 loop, trimmed / stretched to 23/8 (I think!).
One 23/8 synth part, with two sends into Replika XT for a tasty wash.
And since Psalm 23 is the lovely "Shepherd" Psalm, I used two Shepherd Tone tracks to flesh out the tonal structure.
Finally, to tie in the 23 - the track title Zygote - human zygote formation is the moment whereby a new 23+23=46-chromosome human potential lies from its parents. Evolution at work...

Hope you enjoy...

Zygote (disquiet0529)

It was a convoluted process recording this track.
I started recording 115 bars (23x5 (5=2+3))of a Numerology drum and synth patch  fed into beads. Playback was slowed to 2/3 speed and I played over the top by hopping through recordings on a Radio Music module to emulate Burroughs 23 Skidoo cutup piece.
My MacBook kept crashing when trying to bounce the track down and would hang whilst rebooting - this behaviour was probably coincidental and unrelated to the number 23.
Major thanks to Eanna Butler for helping come up with this project:

Welcome to halF unusuaL, an evolving space inspired by play in the spirit of ‘hai’ (meaning “fun” or “unusual” in the word haiku). Here, improvisation connects the unexpected, mining the boundary between music and non-music to shape sound worlds that feel oddly familiar in their oddity. Listen freely, explore deeply, and for the sounds to live for your eyes as well as your ears, please stop by the YouTube channel. Thank you for joining this journey! Your support helps keep this afloat ... and is HUGELY appreciated 🥰
