A really cool cover/deconstruction of one of my favorite tracks. Nice idea!

Disquiet Junto Project 0588: Swell Time

The Assignment: Make some surf music

Step 1: We’re going to make some surf music. Think about the word “surf” separate from the word “music.”

Step 2: Make some surf music inspired by the thoughts that arose in Step 1.

Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, April 10, 2023, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, April 6, 2023.

Surf Surround (disquiet0588)

P.oceanica is a slow-growing species of Posidonia, a global seagrass that provides food and shelter to marine organisms, protect coasts against erosion, and purifies natural water resources. P.oceanica covers the entire coastline of the Mediterranean Sea with its network of roots and rhizomes. One colony discovered off the coast of Ibiza is believed to be nearly two-hundred thousand years old, which would make it the oldest living plant in the world.

Marta Solé, a research scientist in environmental engineering at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya in Barcelona Tech (UPC), has spent her career studying the impact of noise pollution on marine biology. Solé’s previous research demonstrated that cephalopods hear sound through small sensory organs, which become damaged when noise exceeds a certain volume and frequency. P.oceanica have exhibited similarly adverse effects to noise, compromising the plants’ ability to connect to root systems and gather nutrients from the ocean.

Suss Müsik considered the metaphorical duality of sound waves and ocean currents as a framework for this Junto project. Three “waves” of synthetic material were treated with various distortion effects and allowed to pass over each other. A cyclical pattern simulates the gently modulating seagrass that lies beneath the surf, insulating its tender blades from the harsher noise just above the crashing waves.

The piece is titled P.oceanica and was recorded live to Tascam 8-track. Those who wish to learn more about Solé’s work are encouraged to read The Sounds of Life by Karen Bakker.

[disquiet0591] they had no childhood

A sequenced modular patch using the 2HP Pluck as the only voice and passed through a couple of guitar pedals (Digital Delay, then Digital Reverb).

There are two KORG SQ-1s providing the sequence. One of seven steps and the other of five. The two CVs are XORed and passed to the V/Oct of the Pluck. Meanwhile, the gate from one SQ-1 is combined with the output of a 2HP Euclid, then passed through a Mystic Circuits ANA to create stepped triggers that trigger the Pluck. The resulting pluck is then passed through a VCA, which is modulated by an ADSR being triggered by the 180 bpm clock. During the recording, I vary the release on the ADSR to change the intensity of the 'bongos'.

Disquiet Junto Project 0594: Threemix The Assignment: Remix an asynchronously produced trio.

I didn’t have a lot of time the past two weeks, so while I started a couple of things, I didn’t finish anything.
Going through these half developed sketches, to see if anything might be a good starting idea for this week’s remix challenge, I was drawn in by a loop I made using @Melondruie and @Fake-Genius piece Quietude Disturbed from week 2 (https://soundcloud.com/melondruie/quietude-disturbed-disquiet0592).
I thought the piece had a bit of a Burial feel to it, so as a sound design challenge, I tried to make a Burial kind of beat to go with it, using sounds I made tapping and scraping an old Zither I bought second hand (and that I mostly tend to use as a place to put my headphones, apparently).

Going through the playlist for week 3, I noticed that pieces based on @encym ’s week 2 contribution Tête à tête (https://soundcloud.com/encym/tete-a-tete-disquiet0592 built on the week 1 piece of @andreas-kitzmann) fit harmonically with Quietude Disturbed. Also, these pieces, and especially @RabMusicLab’s La tête éblouissante (https://soundcloud.com/rabmusiclab/la-tete-eblouissante) fit rather well stylistically. So, I wondered if I could mash these pieces up together in some way. At first, I intended not to use the Burial-esque beat, because… well… because it’s such a blatant ripoff. But by that time, I’d been hearing the loop for a while, and the sound had nested in my head: other rhythmic ideas didn’t cut it. Neither did doing away with a rhythmic element altogether.

So, there you have it.

Disquiet Junto Project 0595: Filter Progression
The Assignment: Make music by processing a static sound.

This project is the second of three that are being done in collaboration with the 2023 Musikfestival Bern, which will be held in Switzerland from September 6 through 10. The topic this year is « √ » — as the organization explains: “the radical, or square root symbol and the power of its symbolism are central to the festival and these will be translated into music in multifarious ways.” All three projects will engage with the work of Éliane Radigue, who is the Composer-in-Residence for the 2023 festival.

We are working at the invitation of Tobias Reber, an early Junto participant, who is in charge of the educational activities of the festival. This is the fifth year in a row that the Junto has collaborated with Musikfestival Bern.

Select recordings resulting from these three Disquiet Junto projects may be played and displayed throughout the festival.

Step 1: Choose a static sound, such as a field recording of a specific place, or a held tone, or a recording of noise.

Step 2: Experiment with animating the static sound selected from Step 1 by slowly, subtly, manually modulating it, using only filter frequency and resonance.

Step 3: Record a track resulting from the techniques you developed in Step 2.

Eight Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0595” (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 “disquiet0595” (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 track in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0595-filter-progression/

Step 5: Annotate your track 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.

Step 8: Also join in the discussion on the Disquiet Junto Slack. Send your email address to marc@disquiet.com for Slack inclusion.

Note: Please post one track for this weekly Junto project. If you choose to post more than one, and do so on SoundCloud, please let me know which you’d like added to the playlist. Thanks.

Additional Details:

Length: The length is up to you. Sometimes longer is better.

Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, May 29, 2023, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, May 25, 2023.

Upload: When participating in this project, be sure to include a description of your process in planning, composing, and recording it. This description is an essential element of the communicative process inherent in the Disquiet Junto. Photos, video, and lists of equipment are always appreciated.

Download: It is always best to set your track as downloadable and allowing for attributed remixing (i.e., a Creative Commons license permitting non-commercial sharing with attribution, allowing for derivatives).

For context, when posting the track online, please be sure to include this following information:

End Point

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.
