Disquiet Junto Project 0573: Float Mode
The Assignment: Add material atop a pre-existing beat to form a complete track.

Note: This week’s project is the second part of a two-parter, following up last week’s, but you don’t need to have participated last week in order to do this one.

Step 1: You will be adding musical elements atop beats created last week by other members of the Disquiet Junto. Select a beat. There are beats from 30 or so musicians in the SoundCloud playlist:

https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0572

If you search for the project tag, you’ll find a few extras, I believe, from folks who did more than one:

https://soundcloud.com/search?q=disquiet0572

And there are two Bandcamp and one YouTube tracks in the discussion thread, along with details on many of the other entries:

Step 2: Add material to the beat you selected in Step 1. You can rework the beat if you like, even combine beats, but assuming you have limited time, the focus of your effort should be what you add, not what you do with the pre-existing material.

Step 3: When posting your track, be sure to credit which track(s) you employed as the foundation for your work.

. . .

Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, December 26, 2022, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, December 22, 2022.

Disquiet Junto Project 0573: Float Mode
The Assignment: Add material atop a pre-existing beat to form a complete track.

I liked https://soundcloud.com/tendigits/disquiet0572-rythm-kit by Tendigits and because it seemed to be made completely "by machine" I wanted to add only things without machines/automation. 
So I improvised around five additional tracks of sounds (and tried to leave room for some variation on the original drum track by Tendigits while doing it). In this week I also had field recorded the sound of icicles that I had knocked off the corrugated roof above the bicycle stand in the inner courtyard of my flat (my wife recorded, I knocked of the icicles – they can be seen on the track cover) and somehow felt they would fit as a mysterious element (hence the title) and because there was something like ice rain I heard in the original track (maybe its just me…). Finally I felt something was missing and added a live sung/spoken session of some kind of acoustic nagging to the track, which I edited with a lot of fx and manually painted parameter curves. 
It now feels like a hit.

A great glitchy beat produced in last weeks Junto by @calmnesia I have added some binaural feedback and guitar. Headphones recommended for the binaural sounds.

Glitchy Beat (With Modulatia),Guitar & Feedback (disquiet0573)

This track is the result of an asynchronous collaboration with @daniel-diaz for the Disquiet Junto Projects (details below): I tried to embellish his wonderful track https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz/2022wcgroove-disquiet0572 mainly with the addition of piano and harmonium.
According to my wife this is music for letting the world pass by...

Squelchy Grains - with Tristan Louth-Robins(disquiet0573)

This week we had to take a rhythm track created by someone else for last weeks junto, and make it into a complete track.  I took a rhythm by @half-unusual  
(https://soundcloud.com/half-unusual/half-kit-disquiet0572-70-bpm)
as it instantly had me jamming on the keys.  This track owes a bit of a debt to Jarre's Last Rhumba which I have been playing a lot lately, but just in terms of a few of the bass and rhythm patterns, which I have gone to town with a bit.
