Sorry this is coming so late, but love this! Definitely not ruined and definitely enhanced, I really enjoyed listening- thanks for choosing this piece to work with. I gotta get back to the Junto, such a great community :)

Fake Genius on the left, Torpid Scorpion on the RIght. 

Added a rhythm played on the TR8S with a second pass to hand-crank filter and delay effects.

This pie is waiting for a third to fill in the missing piece.

Second Third (disquiet0698) Fake Genius x Torpid Scorpion

Last edited & mixed on 15 May 2025 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa, USA. 

For this piece I incorporated “Hydrasynth-105bpm-CMaj_disquiet0697 6 chords” disquiet0697 by 14 Below Zero (https://soundcloud.com/14-below-zero) for the left channel.  https://soundcloud.com/14-below-zero/hydrasynth-105bpm-cmaj_disquiet0697-6-chords-disquiet0697 

My contribution is on the right. 

For my part, I acted in a supporting role, starting with 14 Below Zero’s notes & Cherry Audio’s emulation of Octave Electronics’ 1976 CAT synth and then adding effects & editing where I felt appropriate. I had such a block on mixing this because I dislike hard panning for most things…so I mixed it in a way I preferred. After I felt good about that mix, I hard panned it again (except for some effects) and yeah, I still liked it. This should be fun for someone to add to next week.

Melodic Dark and Luminous Drones - disquiet0699 (with Ray Cobley and Alanblip)
This one’s quite experimental yet melodic and with a positive, luminous vibe (but with moments of darkness when Ray’s drone takes the foreground). 

Took this duo: https://soundcloud.com/ray_cobley/drone-double-with-alanblipdisquiet0698 by @ray_cobley 
who worked on this solo by  @alanblip https://soundcloud.com/alanblip/b-drone-disquiet0697 

Added a solo lead on my Oberheim OB-X and some noise washes on the same sytnh to channel the mighty Vangelis…

Worked on this duo by e_nu_ri (@user-807707609) : https://soundcloud.com/user-807707609/bowed-and-jangled-farther-disquiet0698  based on this original track by

The all-synth background is great. I thought the contrast between those synth tracks and a warm, acoustic tone could be interesting, so I improvised a lead part on tenor ukulele. I also added an infra bass drone playing the tonic, and used a little software I’m beta testing that generates sound from a text prompt using some kind of AI (can’t say more here, but it’s fun for drones!).
It's like a dark, abstract recitativo, hope you like it.

The Assignment: Record the final third of a trio.

I just wanted to play bass on something because it felt like it had been a while since I picked up my bass.  The third part of this project always felt like the right time for basslines too.  I don't really like when the low end is panned hard left or right to be honest.  It feels unbalanced to me.  Anyway, Torpid and Coraline's beautiful piece from last week really stuck out to me so it was an easy choice.  I liked writing counter point to Torpid's fills at the end of the measure.  Hope I didn't funk it up too much

The final addition to complete the annual Disquiet Junto asynchronous trio. This contribution builds on the original keyboards of Aaron Hofman and Andreas Kitzmann's addition of a gritty drone with a performance on ebow guitar and simulated Leslie cabinet.

Suss Müsik has been traveling a lot lately. Thus is the nature of having to work for a living, a privileged state that appears to be accelerating toward some form of extinction. That’s probably a gripe for another Junto project.

On a recent trip to a U.S. city not to be named, Suss Müsik captured this strangely bucolic view outside the hotel window. Look closely, and you’ll see evidence of gentrification in the urban landscape: a new corporate housing unit dominates the left side of the image, obscured by a rich envelope of foliage. There appears to be some sort of mosque in the background, perhaps representing one of the orthodox faiths, next to what might be a church steeple. A rustic brick dwelling sits confidently where it was built some 300 years ago. Just beyond that is a budget hotel and what is likely a corporate office building, both filled to half-capacity.

The intention of Suss Müsik’s sonic interpretation was to demonstrate this weirdly haunting mashup: a blend of classical ‘old world’ architecture residing in an environment of aggressively digital commercialization. It is a scene where progress is measured in glass panels, beige is the new brown, innovation is temporal, and humans interaction relies on the conductivity of elemental particles. If you can imagine the setting of a Milan Kundera story retold through a series of YouTube Shorts, that’s sort of the vibe this image presents. 

This piece for cello, violin, piano, and electronics was recorded quickly to TASCAM 8-track. It is dedicated to Marc Weidenbaum and all participants of the Disquiet Junto community. Here’s to 700 chapters and counting.
