like the alarm like ending,good old stomp box

I really like the "run what you brung" aspect.  Nice atmosphere.

Disquiet Junto Project 0260: Tone Fade

I'm a big fan of the EMS Synthi and was surprised to see the ipad app for the iVCS3. This thing is lovely - Was not expecting how many sounds and how richly "analog" this app sounds and behaves. Recorded over the weekend, adding a moment here and there, until about ten minutes were put together. 

All sounds generated from within the iVCS3, played through a midi controller to a digital 8-track. Processed with Moog mf104 delay near the ending half.

Ten Minutes with the iVCS3

Inspired by Wust I decided to create my own instrument. I used a metal fan cage and recorded through a delay to get a longer decay. I pitched down 12 and 24 unwarped so the timing offset and copied the tracks into different places in the stereo field. I lowered one down 48 and kept it in the center. Seasons Greetings and Happy New Year!

Variations On a Note [disquiet0260]
Disquiet Junto Project 0260: Tone Fade
An exercise in when a sound ends.

On my piano I played a C natural 2 octaves below middle C while muting the strings with my thumb. I moved my thumb slightly between each note which brought out different harmonics. Took this track and layered it 4 times shifting the pitch up a 5th, octave and third creating a major chord. 

Amplitude modulated each of the 4 tracks with a slow sine wave (10 second cycle, 75% depth) and at 4 different phases (0, 90, 120 and 180) creating a slow cross fading between the 4 tracks. Added a bit of pitch stretched root note and some additional reversed piano sounds (opposite of fade out) for atmosphere.

Recorded with a Zoom H5. Edited with Audacity.

Year End Fade(disquiet0260)
This prompt left me wishing the family piano was still around, so instead I grabbed amp, guitar, pedal and made some noise with proper sustain. I used the iPad mic in music memos placed about 1 foot from the Crate amp, stomped the chorus and played a E minor until tone was almost gone to amp buzz. The crackling isn’t hot signal, just a little cabinet noise. And just for fun I added a little piece of door ajar reminder at the end as it had the perfect tone fade and appeared to me minutes after reading this weeks email…serendipity?! Happy Holidays till the new year!

Season of our Disquiet

Year End Fade(disquiet0260)

All source sound in this small (and experimental) piece is from "leftover" eurorack modules - conforming to the few kinds, that this weeks challenge from the Disquiet Junto, #381, allows. 

The sequence/sound has then been imported into ableton and MANGLED like crazy - and a few drums then added...

disquiet0381 - short con/fused

Disquiet tempted me, and lured me away from the blessed hilltops of analogue signal flow, down into the unholy valley of virtual modular instrumentation. This exercise in wretched debauchery began with almost an hour of confusion and frustration, untilled I finally discovered how these cursed devices operate.

Joking aside. I do like what some digital modular can do, but good gravy is it unintuitive. I am planning on finding a way to add some virtual tools to my tangible rack someday, but this won't be it. I found the setup strange and restrictive.

Oh well. I can't say I didn't try.

The Orbiting Space Station's Daily Routine (Disquiet0383)

I figure it might be kind of noisy in a typical spacecraft apartment--noise abatement = weight and cost. The apartment depicted here is in the cheap part of the spacecraft--buried deep in a warren of vents, pipes and driveshafts. But it's cozy and the price is right!

The ambience here comes from:

--5 separate noise generators, each run through a low-pass filter featuring a different cutoff frequency and modulated at a different rate by a LFO. The high-frequency filters used fast modulation (up to 10 hz) while the lower ones were low (down to 0.001 hz!). 
-a 'struck bar' generator (randomly chosen preset)
-a 'shaker' generator (randomly chosen preset)
-background sounds; I ran the microphone through a 10-second delay and reverb

except for the background sound (which is always on), everything is triggered at random for random lengths, with a bit of randomness in stereo panning, reverb and volume. The background sound is pretty random too; I stuck the laptop in the basement and went about doing housework and so on. My only interventions: at one point I played a Nixon speech on my phone, and then played "Also Sprach Zarathustra" by the Portsmouth Sinfonia (a wink to "2001" ). 

I ran the main bit for 30 minutes but in principle it could run any arbitrary length (in the main loop in the code change "30::minute" to "1::week" or "1000::weeks" as you wish).

It gets quite loud at points and very soft at others. I didn't do any post-processing; I don't know how Ableton would deal with a file this length.

If I had world and time I'd probably think of some correlation structure for the noises (human behavior tends to be positively autocorrelated at short horizons, I suppose) and add some 60 cycle hum.  

here's the code:

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.
