My first go at the Disquiet Junto challenge.   
The first thing I did was create a shifting 'cloudlike' top level. I did this using three detuned oscillators,  fed different sequences and put through a long cloud reverb in the Strymon BigSky.  For the 'firm bottom' I used the Dark Energy synth, feeding it a slower sequence of notes, but giving it more frequent rhythmic / percussive changes to filters and amplifier.  This had no reverb applied, just echo, to keep it firm and to avoid muddying the reverb cloud. As this is a piece for a possible dance performance, I included a rhythm pattern, which is purely white noise put through a filter that is rapidly opened and closed to varying degrees. This was put through a panner that sends it to different echos to make it more interesting than just a straight rhythmic pattern. This was a single live take, no overdubs. 

Disquiet Junto Project 0222: Bounded Foundation
The Assignment: Compose a piece for contemporary dance — with a “soft top” and a “shifting bottom.”

This is the second project we’re doing with artist and engineer Paolo Salvagione for an extended piece of choreography he’s working on. The result of the project is intended for potential use as a sonic backdrop for the dance performance, and also as a form of research into the materials and ideas being explored by Salvagione and the dancers. (Audio produced for this Junto project will not be used by Salvagione without its composer’s permission.)

Step 1: You will be creating a short, roughly four-minute piece of music. First, take into consideration the setting. Visualize that the piece would be performed by a young solo female dancer. She is dancing in a large space. The sounds of this Junto are the only sounds accompanying her movement.

Step 2: Your piece should have two perceived “levels.” The “top” level should be soft and cloud-like. The “bottom” level should be firm but ever-shifting.

Step 3: Make a piece of sound/music roughly four minutes long that meets the criteria of Step 2.

Step 4: Upload your completed track to the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud.

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

Step 6: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

I make electronic ambient and drone music using modular synthesis to explore themes of nature, space, isolation, man/machine interaction, and the borders of the sleep/wake cycle.
