Disquiet Junto Project 0260: Tone Fade

Inspired by Wust I decided to create my own instrument. I used a metal fan cage and recorded through a delay to get a longer decay. I pitched down 12 and 24 unwarped so the timing offset and copied the tracks into different places in the stereo field. I lowered one down 48 and kept it in the center. Seasons Greetings and Happy New Year!

Variations On a Note [disquiet0260]
Disquiet Junto Project 0260: Tone Fade
An exercise in when a sound ends.

On my piano I played a C natural 2 octaves below middle C while muting the strings with my thumb. I moved my thumb slightly between each note which brought out different harmonics. Took this track and layered it 4 times shifting the pitch up a 5th, octave and third creating a major chord. 

Amplitude modulated each of the 4 tracks with a slow sine wave (10 second cycle, 75% depth) and at 4 different phases (0, 90, 120 and 180) creating a slow cross fading between the 4 tracks. Added a bit of pitch stretched root note and some additional reversed piano sounds (opposite of fade out) for atmosphere.

Recorded with a Zoom H5. Edited with Audacity.

Variations On A Note [disquiet0260]

I had been mucking around with midifx and knob twiddling. Tiring of that and wanting something more live I found this sound and jammed for a few minutes whole recording. I am excited if anyone can use it and looking forward to dueting myself with someone else. Love the "live" idea for the Junto and the idea of collaborating.

Live at Black Bear (disquiet0269)

Synthesized vocalizations to be played with a manipulation of selections from Joan La Barbara's 73 Poems 1993. Texts by Kenneth Goldsmith.

73.5 (Duet With Joan LaBarbara)

for Disquiet Junto Project 0269: Duet Portion

Assignment: Record half of a live duet.
Process: played with Aalto, my favorite synth. Normally my approach is to set one note looping in the piano roll that controls the notes for Aalto, randomize all its controls, then tweak it until something listenable emerges and live record audio. Get lost doing so for hours. I am always amazed how rich and multi-layered that one synth appears.

No Diving (disquiet0270) duet with New Tendencies

Disquiet Junto Project 0270: Just Duet
Record the second half of a duet.
@Plusch: piano
DD: melodica

Sorry I didn’t follow the suggested lottery method, when checking out the many wonderful contributions to 0269 I just downloaded the ones that inspired/tempted me and started working on some during my free time this past week, before the actual project was posted.
I already finished 2 and have 2 more recorded, needing editing.
As the first duet (Ya Wha? ‘s  Bare Metal duet https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz/bare-metal-dressed) has already been posted I go for this one for the actual playlist (it’s just one per capita one each project, right Marc?)

I duet with plusch here, he’s on piano (https://soundcloud.com/plusch/up-in-the-air-disquiet0269) I added a melodica part, then tried  a second take to have the choice, and inspired by one of those creative mistakes that often happen, decided to keep both takes (in the A/B process of choosing take1 vs. take2 I un-soloed both and liked the results, the low register take1 coexists with the hi register take2 on the second half)

Delay and reverb and a pitch shift to double take 1 one octave lower is all the processing here.

Thanks @PLUSCH for the inspiring Erik-Satiesque piano.

Disquiet Junto Project 0270: Just Duet
Step 1: This week’s project builds on last week’s. Last week 40 musicians each recorded one half of a duet live. This week you will record (again, live) the other half of the duet for one of those pre-existing tracks. It’s preferable that you come upon the selection by random. You can generate a random number any way you choose, from 1 to 40. This link will give you a random integer within that range

Upper In The Air - disquiet0270

Drone prepared in G with DPO wave folded with VCM. Played melodica in G-minor and used PTG as an envelope follower. Never touched the patch once it was set up and all changes derived from pitch and volume of melodica playing.

Uploadad for @disquiet junto project 0280.

 I wanted to wish a proper, HAPPY birthday to our fellow junto member @differentieel but can’t think of an idea to recreate something old with a new approach, but that’s something I’ve been doing for decades when I hear something old that inspires me!
I decided to upload this track for you, it form a time that I had several borrowed acoustic guitars (including a Fender 12 strings that I really miss) and spent months creating tracks superimposing very simple parts with just guitars, to build something full and coherent out of insignificant little bits. I was listening to Steve Reich (electric counterpoint), Fripp, Bracca, and many others, but wanted to use that procedure to create something that doesn’t quite follow that repetitive style.
One of the tracks, really simple, tender and naive was this one L’Aube (Dawn).

May this simple and innocent piece warm differentieel’s heart on this special day.
Happy Birthday!
DD

L'Aube (disquiet0280)

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.
