really good atmosphere... can see the picture in these sounds

Morn Lighting (solo voice track)  NOTES

January 13, 2021 Naviar Haiku #367, a poem by Morikawa Kyoroku:

morning light
the first blossoms of spring
bloom over-night

The Haiku was divided into 12 syllables and randomly reordered. This was done 12 times creating 12 lines of random text from the original Haiku. I recorded myself reading the text. 

The track can be chopped into phrases to make it longer or add space for other sounds.

Morn Lighting (Jam Time)Disquiet0472

an asynchronous trio:

The first part was made by Torsten Goerke, as ⅓ of a trio without knowing who might add on to it...
The next week, it was selected by Rusty Hurley (Northern Flight), adding the pedal steel guitar and a subtle kick drum.
This week, I picked that, and added the bass.

Desert Resync - disquiet0474

For this one I took this track https://soundcloud.com/user-859240368/dronedrumdrub-disquiet0473?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0473 by https://soundcloud.com/melondruie and https://soundcloud.com/user-859240368. And ended up with this chill atmospheric drum thang.

The name comes from this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYbVpAwGGGs. It still makes me laugh every single time. Also the piece ended up sounding like smooth dad jazz.

Third part of a virtual trio, my part is the guitar in the middle, the original left track (drums) is by vgmrmojo and the right track (kemane) is by joyneski .


Disquiet Junto Project 0474: Police Action (3 or 3)
The Assignment: Complete a trio by adding a track to an existing duet by two other musicians.

Step 1: This week’s Disquiet Junto project is the third in a sequence that encourages and rewards asynchronous collaboration. This week you will be adding music to a pre-existing track, which you will source from the previous week’s Junto project (disquiet.com/0473). Note that you are finishing a trio — you’re creating the third part of what two previous musicians created. Please keep this in mind.

Step 2: The plan is for you to record an original piece of music, on any instrumentation of your choice, as a complement to a pre-existing track.

This was the basic track used by me:

The Third Man (disquiet0474) feat. vgmrmojo and joyneski

Made as part of the junto disquiet 0475.

The idea was to remix a 3 part collaboration from last week. 
I fed small loops of a specific part of this track https://soundcloud.com/melondruie/unsafe-approach-disquiet-0474?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0474 into a hardware looper to try and make something totally new.

Mixed in ableton. Hard to control the mid frequencies

Grey View (disquiet0476)

As I've just finished binge watching Mindhunter on Netflix, it's probably not surprising that it and the atmospheric image fused in my mind and the two became the inspiration for this track.
Done almost entirely using the Korg Wavestate, except for the crackles, which was Arturia's CMI V through Vallhalla Supermassive.

**Production Notes**

Boy, this was a fun assignment! Don’t know about the other participants in this challenge, but it felt great to close my eyes and just start to play.  But first I learnt that it’s impossible to patch and play a three-row Modular blindfolded. There’s too much tactile information, too many knobs, and you get tangled in the cables. 

So I turned to the Cocoquantus for a gritty base pad sound. Finding knobs and patchpoints was much easier with this instrument. 

Next step was an Easel Command, which arrived just two weeks ago. I was quite nervous while playing it (still have a lot to learn), but actually, it was easier to wiggle than I thought. And it just felt great.  

Last step was the Moog Matriarch and its lovely delay. Again, I patched with my eyes closed, corrected a misplaced connection and started playing a bass, some chords and just some weird delay and filter sounds. 

Threw everything together in Ableton, pre-mastered in Ozone. Time spent: 3 hours.

** Disquiet Junto Project 0477: Flying Blind**

The Assignment: Record a piece of music in which some substantial portion is performed without looking.

There is just one step this week.

Step 1: Play something blind. That is to say, record a piece of music in which some substantial portion is performed without looking.

Seven More Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0477” (no spaces or quotation marks) in the name of your tracks.

Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag “disquiet0477” (no spaces or quotation marks). If you’re posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to subsequent location of tracks for the creation of a project playlist.

Step 3: Upload your tracks. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your tracks.

Step 4: Post your tracks in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0477-flying-blind/

Step 5: Annotate your tracks with a brief explanation of your approach and process.

Step 6: If posting on social media, please consider using the hashtag #disquietjunto so fellow participants are more likely to locate your communication.

Step 7: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Additional Details:

Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, February 22, 2021, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, February 18, 2021.

Length: The length is up to you. (You’re closing your eyes, not holding your breath.)
