Le Souvenir d'une Ignorance Essentielle

On the field
where evening has died out –
my footsteps

Disquiet Junto Project 0557: Condensation Is a Form of Change
The Assignment: Interpret a graphic score that depicts four phases.

I didn't want to understand the picture as a kind of timeline to be read from left to right. From the beginning I felt the urge for simultaneity, as it is inherent in images. I saw four or five elements, of which the lower/left one is incomprehensible, condensing on a background and perhaps disappearing again like stains from a coffee cup.

With that in mind, I started playing around in Live, mostly with samplers like DecentSampler, Soundpaint, and Spitfire Labs, and a lot of destructive FX. I wanted to achieve the mysteriousness that I felt myself when I looked at the image. The only discernible motif kind of emerged as I played around, it was actually too clear to me, but then I didn't want to go without it.

An Illusion Of 4 Or 5 [disquiet0557]

Sensen - DC

This is definitely my shortest entry for the Disquiet Junto. Asking my daughter what she’d expect of an audio logo for Wikimedia, she came up with turning pages from a book, which I found a great fit. I found a good sample from David Bain on Freesound (https://freesound.org/people/davidbain/sounds/136778/). 

When it came to the tonal parts, wanted to keep it positive, so I played a simple D-major chord, added some delays and that was that.

Disquiet Junto Project 0560: Sonic Disambiguation
The Assignment: Help the Wikimedia Foundation develop a sonic logo.

The project this week is to participate, if it appeals to you, in the development of a “sound logo” for Wikimedia. Per the instructions: “The Wikimedia movement is searching for a sound logo that will identify content from all of our projects, like Wikipedia, when visual logos are not an option — for example, when virtual voice assistants answer queries.”

Details, including prize and rights, at soundlogo.wikimedia.org.

Note that the official Wikimedia contest deadline is October 10, 2022. For this Junto project, however, it is September 26.

The Nightmare Ends (disquiet0568)

It's not advisable to let your teeth get dirty.

All sounds generated with VCV Rack. The main theme is a percussive voice and chaotic FM sounds clocked by the same steady pulse. Additional sounds were made using a different chaotic patch. 

Disquiet Junto Project 0572: Rhythm Kit
The Assignment: Make a beat that someone else will add to.

Note: This project is the first of a two-parter. You don’t need to participate in both, and you can easily participate in the second one (next week) even if you don’t participate in the first one.

Instruction: Record a beat with the intension that someone other than yourself will add something to it at a later date. It’s preferable that you record something that lasts between one and three minutes, but it’s also fine to record something shorter with the intention that someone will loop it — or something longer, for that matter.

Also: Be sure to make your track downloadable.

disquiet0572 Keep Your Teeth Clean

A drum/percussion track for Disquiet Junto 0572: Rhythm Kit. Instruction: Record a beat with the intension that someone other than yourself will add something to it at a later date. 

These sounds were recorded during live jam with Creatures Once bandmate Monstrosus on Dec 10. We played live on some iOS apps conrolled by Korg nano keys, the Alesis e-drum kit, and Drumbrute Impact. We're both drummers as a first instrument so we always have fun with the drums. Had some other instrument sounds going in the jam, but took those out for this rhythm kit version. Arrangement kinds of follows how the jam played out, with M going off on the e-drums to cap things off. Hope someone in the Junto enjoys this beat! 
My family baked biscotti while I edited this, then we had a nice cuppa chai to go along.
