Thank you, @leonclowes, for your reimagining this track, carefully spotlighting elements that weren't previously centre stage.

A fictitious competition where 99 of the 100 competitors in a squiggling competition perish. Somewhat inspired by the Dancing Plague of 1518 and Shirley Jackson's short story "The Lottery".

The original version had more vocals, but a decent portion of them were scrapped for the reupload.

Disquiet Junto Project 0572: Rhythm Kit
The Assignment: Make a beat that someone else will add to.

On ebay I shot an old, rancid, scuffed Casio PT-1 as a restoration object for the holidays. It came yesterday and at the same time the disquiet junto mail came in. And it worked. Ah, I liked these rhumba rhythms like I did 40 years ago. Originally I just wanted to contribute that. But then I recorded a 4 bar loop and used 4 tracks on reaper to play around with some fx. I exported it and gave it some structure in Reaper.  It's now only the original loop plus fx. I think there is plenty of room for a second voice. 

The pure PT-1 is hearable in the beginning. I also put the original loop to https://freesound.org/people/krakenkraft/sounds/665090/ 

It's plain vanilla 120bpms.

Casio PT-1 Rhumba 120bpm [disquiet0572]

I really admire the direction that @encym took the @noodletwister and @sinnysounds collaboration. I took the three iterations and panned them on Audacity, then used effects and fade. Here's what transpired.

Coming Home (Disquiet0594)

A work in progress / abandonded track from early 2023, finished and remixed June 1st 2023.
This track, I created earlier this year for the same proto-jazz proyect that generated my track for [junto0584](https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz/nocturnal-studio-jam-number-2) this was intended to be a jazz-lounge jam, I recorded the electric piano part over a jazz drum loop and a walking upright bass, then decided that I wanted a more lounge/funky beta and grabbed a different loop. I clicked on the wrong loop-file an dI got this weird electro-beat that completely destroyed the track's jazz feel. I tried to re record the bass, with a fretless bass, more soul-funk groovy but it didn't work, it was too hybrid.

So as the track evolved from a jazz jam to...well, this; I decided to tweak a couple of things, mix it and share it with you as my example of Phylogeny.

Recorded early 2023 by DD in Paris, FR,
Fretless bass guitar
Electric piano
Drum loops and synthesizers.

Glimpse 947 (May 3 2024)

Performed & Recorded by Matteo Mariano (2019/2020) http://macrogramma.com

"Metafonia" is the Italian word that identifies the phenomenon known in parapsychology as "electronic voices". Metafonia I is the second track in order of publication, and the first in order of numbering, of a series of compositions inspired by this phenomenon. 
Approaching Halloween and the dark atmosphere of this historical period are reflected in the dark character of the song.

Each piece was made starting from vocal samples recorded and processed in real time with a laptop (and with the addition of some synths). The only voice behind these pieces is mine (at least I think, and above all I hope, even if I can never be completely sure), recorded while I was improvising random phrases, as if I were my own medium.
I waited a long time before deciding to finish and release this series of songs, the gloomy atmosphere of this end of October 2020 made me realize that it was time to let them go.
The project is to release all the tracks, one or two at a time, between today and the evening of October 31st (as per pagan tradition), to collect them in a single album that will be available on Bandcamp ...

"Metafonia" è la parola italiana che identifica il fenomeno noto in parapsicologia come "voci elettroniche". Metafonia I è la seconda traccia in ordine di pubblicazione, e la prima in ordine di numerazione, di una serie di composizioni ispirate a questo fenomeno.
Halloween che si avvicina e il clima tetro di questo periodo storico traspaiono dal carattere cupo del brano.
Ogni brano stato della serie è realizzato a partire da campioni vocali registrati ed elaborati in tempo reale con un laptop (e con l'aggiunta di un po' di synth). L'unica voce alla base di questi brani è la mia (almeno credo, e soprattutto spero, anche se non potrò mai esserne del tutto certo), registrata mentre improvvisavo frasi casuali, come fossi il medium di me stesso.
Ho aspettato diverso tempo prima di decidere di terminare e pubblicare questa serie di brani, l'atmosfera cupa di questo fine di ottobre 2020 mi ha fatto capire che era arrivato il momento di lasciarli andare.
Il progetto è di rilasciare tutte le tracce, una o due per volta, tra oggi e la sera del 31 ottobre (come da tradizione pagana), per raccoglierle in un unico album che sarà disponibile su Bandcamp...

Released October 21, 2020
