"I was completely enthralled by Andreas', Roland's, and Wilfried's musical 'answer' to the last Junto assignment (0593 -- a trio recorded at 'asynchronous' times and places). I lovingly dissected their sonic opus, and concocted My own answer to this week's Junto challenge -- 0594, the 'Threemix.'

I first diced the intro of Andreas' initial, guitar loop, kept only its first two 'notes,' expanded and looped them to 64.35 BPM -- and repeated them throughout the piece.

encym's guitar meanderings were sliced into brief phrases. I ended up with thirty of them, yet used only two of them to offset Andreas' forceful drones. Also featured are two improv sections of His at very low volumes, in order to suggest an subtle 'undulation' in the piece.

encym's tonality was originally pitched one semitone higher ('Western-scale'); thus, I lowered (pitch-shifted) it a single semitone. The result is consonance.

(One of My fave 'happy accidents' occured while isolating a brief, percussive 'dink' during encym's guitar part [a fingering error?]; that dink -- when saturated, and run through a slap-back and ping-pong delay series -- provided a 'drum' beat that backed the piece.)

As the work nears its cadence, enter Wilfried, with His wond'rous 'theremin' riff, of which I isolated one recorded flourish, and repeated it four times. The motif He played introduces itself at a low volume level, fed through two delays and a reverb, which deepened in intensities as the motifs progressed. 

What makes this piece special for Me is the highly complex -- and joyfully painstaking -- effects automations I crafted throughout it. It took hours of mathematical computations, and programming, in order to make the piece -- itself seemingly 'simple' and 'droney' -- to 'sound' so complex."

"Disquiet Junto Project 0594: 'Threemix'

The Assignment: Remix an asynchronously produced trio.

Step 1: You’re going to make a remix of a track from the most recent Disquiet Junto project, which was a collection of trios constructed over the course of three weeks. Listen through the playlist, and check out any additional tracks in the discussion forum:

Step 2: You might elect to use some of the constituent parts of the series, so do seek out the solo and duet that led to your chosen trio and feel free to employ those, too. Check out the respective llllllll.co threads:

the task came at the right time
i've been working on the moog matriarch for days
especially patches with different modulation sources and destinations
so:
matriarch in drone mode
sample & hold out modulated via attenuator filter cut of 1 & 2
wave out modulates stereo delay time in 1
then played around a bit with cut off, resonance and spacing

i love my matriarch

take a filter ride(disquiet0595)

This track was inspired by the Disquiet Junto Project 0595 (details see below): I used a second-hand dictaphone to create a fieldrecording of the ventilation in our toilet. Then I built parallel tracks by applying different filters and a resonator to this recoding. Nothing else was added.

Part of Disquiet Junto 0595: Filter Progression

Step 1: Choose a static sound, such as a field recording of a specific place, or a held tone, or a recording of noise.

Step 2: Experiment with animating the static sound selected from Step 1 by slowly, subtly, manually modulating it, using only filter frequency and resonance.

Step 3: Record a track resulting from the techniques you developed in Step 2.

For this track, I used a single chord run through a QPAS filter, which was pinged by gates coming from an Eas, generated by a number of shifting envelopes.

A Disquiet Junto assignment: subtly alter the frequency filter and resonance of a field recording. In this case, a recording of the beach at Saltcoats.

Disquiet Junto Project 0595: Filter Progression
The Assignment: Make music by processing a static sound.

This project is the second of three that are being done in collaboration with the 2023 Musikfestival Bern, which will be held in Switzerland from September 6 through 10. The topic this year is « √ » — as the organization explains: “the radical, or square root symbol and the power of its symbolism are central to the festival and these will be translated into music in multifarious ways.” All three projects will engage with the work of Éliane Radigue, who is the Composer-in-Residence for the 2023 festival.

We are working at the invitation of Tobias Reber, an early Junto participant, who is in charge of the educational activities of the festival. This is the fifth year in a row that the Junto has collaborated with Musikfestival Bern.

Select recordings resulting from these three Disquiet Junto projects may be played and displayed throughout the festival.

Step 1: Choose a static sound, such as a field recording of a specific place, or a held tone, or a recording of noise.

Step 2: Experiment with animating the static sound selected from Step 1 by slowly, subtly, manually modulating it, using only filter frequency and resonance.

Step 3: Record a track resulting from the techniques you developed in Step 2.

Eight Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0595” (no spaces or quotation marks) in the name of your tracks.

Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag “disquiet0595” (no spaces or quotation marks). If you’re posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to subsequent location of tracks for the creation of a project playlist.

Step 3: Upload your tracks. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your tracks.

Step 4: Post your track in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0595-filter-progression/

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

Step 6: If posting on social media, please consider using the hashtag #DisquietJunto so fellow participants are more likely to locate your communication.

Step 7: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Step 8: Also join in the discussion on the Disquiet Junto Slack. Send your email address to marc@disquiet.com for Slack inclusion.

Note: Please post one track for this weekly Junto project. If you choose to post more than one, and do so on SoundCloud, please let me know which you’d like added to the playlist. Thanks.

Additional Details:

Length: The length is up to you. Sometimes longer is better.

Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, May 29, 2023, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, May 25, 2023.

Upload: When participating in this project, be sure to 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. Photos, video, and lists of equipment are always appreciated.

Download: It is always best to set your track as downloadable and allowing for attributed remixing (i.e., a Creative Commons license permitting non-commercial sharing with attribution, allowing for derivatives).

For context, when posting the track online, please be sure to include this following information:

Bee - Disquiet0595

Inspired by this interview with Eliane Radigue https://youtu.be/dByqwi7Jvbo in which she talks about her unique approach to sound and listening, I set out to incorporate the following very deliberate intentions in this week's Disquiet ‘Filter Progression’ challenge:

*listening with focused attention to the way sounds evolve as I interact with them
*consciously doing things more slowly than I usually would attempt to
*holding in mind the idea of 'inhabited silence' - which was a wonderful phrase that emerged from the above interview 
*investigating and exploring hidden colours within the sounds
*paying attention to parallel inward and outward listening - how does my body react to the discovered sounds as they unfold?

The 'held sound' that I chose to work with was a recording of a running tap, recorded on a houseboat where I am staying on the river Thames for a few days at the moment.

I fed the audio through VCV rack via the Chronoblob delay module to add a bit more spectral material to modulate. I then assigned the cutoff frequency and Q controllers from the VCV Sinensis module to a couple of knobs on my Microfreak hardware so that I could interact more physically with the sounds as I modulated the frequencies in real time.

This was a fairly massive deviation from the way I habitually approach listening and sound creation but I found it hugely fun and rewarding to engage with this particular challenge and to discover more about Eliane and her quietly radical work.
