very nice, the text to speech is so effective! great groove as well!

Cool!  Love the cadence of the text.  Wonderful music.

Disquiet Junto Project 0110: WSB100

Loading in the tunes is B10N (AKA the musical alias of Balakrishnan VK), who’s one of the few track-slingers dabbling in juke and footwork in the Singaporean scene. His love for the chopped-up, fast-paced genre stems from his natural inclination towards bass music, and he’s expressed this over the years through Juke It!, a party series that he co-founded.

For the 15-Min Flash Mix, B10N goes way beyond 4/4 here, playing with irregular rapid percussions and ramped up BPMs. He’s pieced together a mix of bumpy beatwork with slippery grooves, made up of machine gun hats, crispy snares and pulsating kicks that rock the subs. He even adds plenty of surprising accoutrements that add colour, like insertions of acid riffs and Tamil song samples.

15-Min Flash Mix E12: B10N

We’re now slipping into episode 13 of Life In Arpeggio’s 15-Min Flash Mix. Let us now take a chill pill from the hectic world around us, and follow the escapist musings of veteran selector and producer, Jean Reiki.

Her episode of the 15-Min Flash Mix hopes to guide you into a cosy haven. Here, she begins with nebulous lullabies and ambient swirls, triggering a hypnotic ebb and flow that locks you in her rhythm. The meditative wave eventually opens up as it takes form and exhibits more electronic elements, exploring loungy deep house and wobbly dubstep. Listening to this is like waking up from a dream, transitioning from lumbering slumber to the invigorating jolts of life.

15-Min Flash Mix E13: Jean Reiki

My cut-up is derived from a article in Seven Days, an alt-weekly out of Burlington, VT. It details a dispute between neighbors about using residential space as a business workshop to build guitars. http://www.7dvt.com/2014disharmony-prospect-street-dispute-between-neighbors-strikes-sour-note

For the "chorus" I used the audio out-put from the image I databent for this track. 

The "verse" is from a no-input recording I did on my Tascam digital recorder. I simply ran an 1/8" cable from mic-in to line-out. The effect comes from adjusting the mic sensitivity. 

The "bridge" is from an improv session done on my squire fretless jazz bass. A cut-up of this recording is dispersed throughout the track.

The "beat" is also from a no-input recording. This time I ran the cable through my Behringer delay pedal.

Disharmony Street Prospect (disquiet0110-wsb100)

From Göteborgs Posten. Ironically enough it was about closing down a drug rehab.

I used text to speech translation- acapella (changed the pitch of the male voice, reading in  Gothenburg dialect). Then I found an old sample recorded off the radio- a looped sequence from Mahler's Um Mitternacht (don't remember who the singer was), that made a nice background. To underline the structure of the song I added more radio- LW as a beat for the chorus, some noise for the bridge and piezo flax seeds as accents.



Vi har inte tillräckligt många psykiatriker- disquiet0110-wsb100

At the 100th birthday of William S. Burroughs, celebrating his literary legacy by employing one of his classic artistic subroutines, the cut-up. 
I've listed the strings from the Asahi news headlines at am 5:00 Feb 8 tokyo time. http://www.asahi.com/news/ 
and added my stock loop and simulated touching tape physically by setting ableton warp mode.

Of Leeton yesterday morn [disquiet0110-wsb100]

I've been researching Laurie Anderson a lot recently. I decided to emulate her manner of speaking. (I think I failed in some ways). 

The text I used came from the front page of reddit. I've included the lines here:

1. Evolution Door

2. 1girl 1 cup

3. I once came home to a hostage situation.

4. This is what I’m expecting from the Sochi Opening Ceremony

5. Alaska primed to become third state to legalize retail marijuana

6. I have travelled the world with Toy Story’s Woody, taking pics for my son. At Heathrow, security just confiscated his “weapon”, keep the world safe boys…

7. TIL Yang (Lenovo's CEO) received a $3 million bonus as a reward for record profits, which he in-turn redistributed to about 10,000 of Lenovo's employees. He did same thing again in 2013.

8. Vøringsfossen, Norway. You can almost see the trolls and elves from here…

9. Flawless

10. In 3 words what would your hell be?

11. Women in Tokyo are threatening a sex boycott against any man who votes for the front-runner in this weekend's gubernatorial election, in protest at his claim that menstruation makes women unfit for government.

12. My nephew just made his first shot in little league basketball last night. 
I tried to make it memorable for him.

13. Olympic luger crashes, somehow recovers

14. Scientists in Japan have successfully induced human embryonic stem cells to spontaneously form developing brain tissues

15. What have you wondered about sleep?

16. Mongolian Smile

17. To the 'self-hating' gay fellow, don't worry about it…

18. TIL for the 1996 Summer Games in Atlanta, homelessness was criminalized in the city. Those arrested during the Games were held for trial until after the event was over


There's a final system of music I chose not use because the track seemed to end after the bridge. This system forms the "underlying rumble" accompaniment for the speech.

i once came home to a hostage situation - "Disquiet Junto Project 0110: WSB100

It's great to be back after being away for the last two weeks. For this week, I grabbed the headline news from the Straits Times >> http://www.straitstimes.com/breaking-news/singapore/story/ministers-urge-jakarta-not-reopen-old-wounds-20140207

The sentence line arrangement online is different from the actual paper version. I extracted the lines from the actual paper as the line arrangement kind of fits the chorus, verse & bridge format better than the online version. 

Recorded the voice of Victoria by activating the text-to-speech in my Mac OSX. I added an old recording of a newscaster reporting the independence of Singapore from Malaysia, which is also the exact year when the bombing incident took place. It serves as a lead-in to Verse 3. Other notable sounds used to create the mood are samples of seagulls, ship on sea waves, bomb, Indonesian Gamelan…etc

MoustacheMusic Radio #122 - Deep Phase in Space 10

Jean Reiki is an established bass trooper in the Singapore scene, always working hard to reinvent herself as a music producer and as a DJ.  This contribution seems to be her 3rd appearance for MoustacheMusic Radio.  A few years ago she was a special guest sharing stage with us at  Vlasmarkt, Gentse Feesten.

1nce again she delivers a well balanced mix, a carefully compiled tracklist, consistently building up, keeping it interesting till the last second.  Note the bass heavy second track  'Worm Hole' from her own hands.  We expected a new track from her brand new self-released EP which you can check through her Bandcamp profile :  https://jeanreiki.bandcamp.com/

Here it is, a muscled hour that goes straight to your underbelly. Pump up the volume. Playing this through crappy speakers does not make any sense.

Thanks again Jean. It is always an ear treatment.
Until we meet again.

Tracklist :  coming up shortly

MoustacheMusic Radio #127 - Jean Reiki (Beyond Control)

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.
