detuned guitar loop? and what else? great...

Sonny Sharrock best be looking over his shoulder.

I used your loop in the new Junto challenge Groove Unlocked.  It was fun to work with, thanks for licensing to allow derivative use!

Disquiet Junto Project 0153: Groove Lock
The Assignment: Record a short sound intended to be set on repeat.

SoundCloud recently introduced the ability for a track to be looped on the website. That is, the listener can hit a button (details at disquiet.com/QVvCF) and the track will play over and over. This week’s project will make use of that feature. This week’s project will also, I should note, inform next week’s project. But you can do next week’s without doing this week’s, and vice-versa.

Step 1: Record a short, original piece of music/sound of between roughly 3 and 9 seconds intended to be set on repeat.

Step 2: Upload the finished track to the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud.

Step 3: Listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Length: Your finished work should be between roughly 3 and 9 seconds long.

Deadline: This assignment was made in the evening, California time, on Thursday, December 4, with 11:59pm on the following Monday, December 8, 2014, as the deadline.

Upload: Please when posting your track on SoundCloud, only upload one track for this assignment, and 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.

Title/Tag: When adding your track to the Disquiet Junto group on Soundcloud.com, please include the term “disquiet0153-groovelock” in the title of your track, and as a tag for your track.

Download: It is preferable that your track is set as downloadable, and that it allows for attributed remixing (i.e., a Creative Commons license permitting non-commercial sharing with attribution).

Linking: When posting the track, please be sure to include this information:

acousmaloop 2014 [disquiet0153-groovelock]

Since this might be used by others as a loop (or p'haps heard alone in auto repeat mode), let's start out with some shout outs to others somewhere in mind of what happened here:

Wanting to use cassette as a jumping off point includes plenty.  But very definitely Hal McGee for his cassette releases and creative use of cassette recording (micro- and otherwise):
http://www.haltapes.com/
https://halmcgee.bandcamp.com/

For even wanting to loop nowadays,  Brother James in general:
http://thereisspaceshipsoverdeeside.blogspot.com/

And moody alien's recent release, in the forest:
https://moodyalien.bandcamp.com/album/in-the-forest

For wanting to hear the vertical steady state of the union and disunion, Dave Seidel hereabouts:
http://recordings.irritablehedgehog.com/album/dave-seidel-60-hz

That said.  Handheld Panasonic cassette recorder (found on trash day back in the '90s) was used to record my doggerel vocal whatnot.  That was played into the mic of a computer recording to Virtual ANS in a pixelated, vaguely sonographic form.  Wherein a piece of that which was increased in contrast was also reversed and played very   s l o w l y   without pitch change.  Trimmed in Audacity, that's what's playing here.

Regarding Virtual ANS:

Unclearly So [disquiet0153-groovelock]

NOTE: this is intended to be played as a loop using the repeat function recently introduced by Soundcloud. 

Addendum: The looping issue I experienced seems to be an artifact of using Safari initially. Once played in Chrome, the repeat point seems somewhat more consistent. 

This is a bit of a disappointment for me as I adore vinyl lock groove recordings. I would have loved to produce a loop that could be consistently looped on Soundcloud. But the repeat function seems barely useable, and it is definitely NOT operating as a loop should with gapless playback. So, I tried to create a loop that leant itself to the random periodicity between playbacks on Soundcloud. In my testing, gaps anywhere from one to ten seconds seem to occur. I found such gaps really detracting when listening to other's loops (though the material in the loops was great) so I decided to build some moments of silence into my loop hoping that this would mask the inconsistencies of playback on this platform. I don't think it actually works though. I recontextualized a portion from my most recent composition: https://soundcloud.com/337is/love-abounding-neurorack-sketch-2

Where all sounds were created and processed using EEG data. See www.sound-machines.it/index.php/bi1brainterface/ for more details on the amazing device I used. All outputs of the BI1brainterface were routed to the Shapeshifter, Optomix, and Spring Reverb as control CVs.

Love, Abounding (Chopped & Skrewed Loopt Edit) [disquiet0153-groovelock]

For this project I decided to go back to where I started and compose this 7 second piece in the manner of the first Junto project I took part in:
disquiet0056-matteroftime ( https://soundcloud.com/peter-tigges/ocean-of-time-disquiet0056 )
This time I created all sounds out of a single -rapidly looping- keyboard stroke and some digital effects.

What does 273.15 K taste like? [disquiet0153-Groovelock]

The die cast a very spartan structure.

Half the layers are field recordings from nearby Shoreline Park: steam valve, pump, and birds.
Half are synthesized instruments: bass, strings, and bass drum.

I chose to only use randomness for the aspects dictated by the assignment. The other elements I picked as I liked... but as this *isn't* _Variations I_, I'm okay with that!

Shoreline Park (disquiet0235 - Dice Music)

This little piece extends the basic instructions (see below) out to most aspects of the composition in the following fashion:

Length: roll of one die (i.e., between 1-6 minutes)
Section Count: roll of two dice
Layers-per-section Count: roll of one die
Notes-per-layer: roll of one die
--- what I added ---
Fundamental pitch-per-section: (roll of die) * 24.49 (pitch of G-2)
Multiplier for that pitch (per-layer): roll of one die (so 1x, 2x, 3x, etc)
Pan per-layer: roll of one die (dividing pan into 6 possible positions)
Note envelope per-layer:  roll of one die chose one of 6 envelopes
Each note volume: ((roll of one die) - 1) * -3 decibels (0 to -15 dB)
Each note frequency: section pitch * ((roll of one die) + 1)
Each note start: Yes, this too, and note length.

Perhaps I went overboard.  But all of this was done in a single RTcmix script which thankfully includes tools for random choosing between a set of N possibilities.

Set Fire To Flames - Barn Levitate

Appropriately for our first podcast edition of Magazine Stories, we travelled to Dundee (before the lockdown) to speak to one of the leading figures driving publishers' pivot to audio. DC Thomson's Chris Phin is a passionate advocate for the medium, as a means to get closer to your audience and to engage with younger demographics. 
He tells us how he's gone from geeky beginnings to a groundbreaking senior role within Scotland's biggest publisher, via editing roles at tech titles, freelance writing and consulting, and publishing the award-winning Scottish Wedding Directory. 
Along the way, he is generous with his advice for navigating a magazine media career - as well as his tips for would-be podcasters. They can be "quick, easy and deliverable", he insists.
We also caught up with Chris again last week to find out how the coronavirus crisis has affected his team, and our listening habits.

Currently the acclaimed Executive Director of Think, John Innes has been publishing magazines since primary school. His incredibly varied career runs the gamut from Sunday School publications to launching the controversial and risqué Bizarre magazine.
Along the way he learned from some of the greats of publishing - including John Brown, the founder of John Brown Media - and has discovered that film magazines aren't as glamorous as they seem.
John now leads Think's Glasgow team producing magazines and other content for the likes of Historic Scotland, and the National Trust for Scotland.&nbsp;In this episode of Magazine Stories, he talks us through the lessons he's learned along the way.&nbsp;

For this edition of Magazine Stories, we were very lucky to get some time with PPA’s Chief Executive, Barry McIlheney, in the last week of his ten-year stint in that role. He explains how the PPA has been supporting the magazine industry over the last decade, and particularly in the face of the coronavirus pandemic.
Barry has a truly enviable career. He edited Smash Hits; launched Empire, heat and the French edition of FHM; and he held a series of senior management posts at EMAP. In a reflection of Barry’s many-storied life, our interview features the Oscars red carpet, editing advice from Warren Beatty, and the time a design decision enraged David Bowie.
As he points out, Barry has come a long way from his origins in North Belfast.

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.
