Disquiet Junto Project 0699: Third Third

I wanted to create something simple and circular that could stand alone for this first part of the @disquiet trio project. Using the Silver Age piano preset on Logic Pro with no effects, I repeat the note sequence D, G, D, A, F# eight times, sometimes letting the D and A overlap. There is no bpm to this and the only alterations I made when listening to this several times after recording this sequence, was to reduce the velocity on many of the notes to evoke an almost 'not really playing' quality to the piece.

Looking forward to hearing if anyone takes this further.

Last edited & mixed on 15 May 2025 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa, USA. 

For this piece I incorporated “Hydrasynth-105bpm-CMaj_disquiet0697 6 chords” disquiet0697 by 14 Below Zero (https://soundcloud.com/14-below-zero) for the left channel.  https://soundcloud.com/14-below-zero/hydrasynth-105bpm-cmaj_disquiet0697-6-chords-disquiet0697 

My contribution is on the right. 

For my part, I acted in a supporting role, starting with 14 Below Zero’s notes & Cherry Audio’s emulation of Octave Electronics’ 1976 CAT synth and then adding effects & editing where I felt appropriate. I had such a block on mixing this because I dislike hard panning for most things…so I mixed it in a way I preferred. After I felt good about that mix, I hard panned it again (except for some effects) and yeah, I still liked it. This should be fun for someone to add to next week.

Melodic Dark and Luminous Drones - disquiet0699 (with Ray Cobley and Alanblip)
This one’s quite experimental yet melodic and with a positive, luminous vibe (but with moments of darkness when Ray’s drone takes the foreground). 

Took this duo: https://soundcloud.com/ray_cobley/drone-double-with-alanblipdisquiet0698 by @ray_cobley 
who worked on this solo by  @alanblip https://soundcloud.com/alanblip/b-drone-disquiet0697 

Added a solo lead on my Oberheim OB-X and some noise washes on the same sytnh to channel the mighty Vangelis…

Worked on this duo by e_nu_ri (@user-807707609) : https://soundcloud.com/user-807707609/bowed-and-jangled-farther-disquiet0698  based on this original track by

The all-synth background is great. I thought the contrast between those synth tracks and a warm, acoustic tone could be interesting, so I improvised a lead part on tenor ukulele. I also added an infra bass drone playing the tonic, and used a little software I’m beta testing that generates sound from a text prompt using some kind of AI (can’t say more here, but it’s fun for drones!).
It's like a dark, abstract recitativo, hope you like it.

Mr Bowed Jangles returns (w/ he_nu_ri and Tristan Louth-Robins) - disquiet0699

Built on top of the excellent bass and rhythm work of DD and halF unusuaL in the previous two weeks, and operating under the influence of Lol Tolhurst's rock and roll memoirs, as well as the unease of being here now in 2025, here is a happy little song about modern life.

The Assignment: Record the final third of a trio.

I just wanted to play bass on something because it felt like it had been a while since I picked up my bass.  The third part of this project always felt like the right time for basslines too.  I don't really like when the low end is panned hard left or right to be honest.  It feels unbalanced to me.  Anyway, Torpid and Coraline's beautiful piece from last week really stuck out to me so it was an easy choice.  I liked writing counter point to Torpid's fills at the end of the measure.  Hope I didn't funk it up too much

You're not a Burden Either (disquiet0699)

This is my submission to this week's Disquiet Junto assignment. The audio panned all the way to the left was recorded by Krakenkraft as the first part of a trio. The right channel contains Boundary Objects'  contribution for the second part of the trio. My contribution can be heard panned to the center.

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.
