An interesting assignment. Since John Cage suggests it's kind of a ritual to "assimilate" disturbing influences and compares it to the (anthropological) idea of integrating fearsome animals by painting them, I thought I'd try with a few disturbances of my own. (Actually, I thought about this a little longer. It fits into several sociological models, e.g. Luhmann's theory of social systems: A system gets irritated by its environment and has to cope with that, by repulsion or by integration; Cage's approach is in the integrating spectrum. Or Rosa's theory of "Resonanz": We need modes and models of "Anverwandlung", roughly meaning non-forceful assimilation, to have a working, "resonant" relationship to 'our' world, else we experience growing "Entfremdung"/alienation.) 

My disturbances: The vacuum bot (my own fault); leaf blowers which get active every friday morning like clockwork in our apartment building (not my fault); and the news (well ... my fault to switch them on, I guess; and maybe we're all a little responsible for the content). So I recorded all those sounds, recorded a drone bed and arranged everything. The duration was set by the (unedited) vacuum bot sample. I tried to only slightly edit and manipulate the samples, but I felt a little LFO action on the frequencies was in order. My favorite news sample was the line "Die große Hitze", the great heat or heat wave, so this is the song's title - contrasting the leaf blowing, which in my opinion should only occur in autumn ... if at all.

Disquiet Junto Project 0554: Cage Chord

L'accordo musicale completo viene usato dagli strumenti che producono la fascia continua di base. Le singole note dell'accordo servono invece per creare gli elementi ritmici che si sovrappongono a questa base, che sono loops di percussioni/batteria processati da campionatori granulari.

The full chord is used by the instruments that produce the basic continuous sound. The single notes of the chord are used instead to create the rhythmic elements that overlap the base, percussion / drum samples processed by granular samplers.
