Disquiet Junto Project 0671: In the Air Tonight
The Assignment: Make an atmosphere of your own.

Step 1: Rather than record music, in the traditional sense, you are going to spend time assembling a sonic environment, what might be thought of as an atmosphere. Think about what that might entail. Please begin this process with the understanding that you will create the atmosphere from scratch, which is to say: not using field recordings of existing environments.

Step 2: Think about the sort of atmosphere you want to make. It might help to experiment by first making some quick rough drafts, in order to see what sorts of atmospheres your skills and equipment lend themselves to.

Step 3: Now record the atmosphere you decided upon in Step 2, adhering to the directions mentioned in Step 1.

Deadline: Monday, November 11, 2024, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.

Disquiet Junto # 0671 was an invitation to create an atmosphere from scratch. "Other People's Dreams" features three intertwined vignettes, guiding the listener through mysterious spaces that are lying in wait for their stories to begin. 

A lot of the sounds, including the rattling engine in part 1, came out of torturing drum kit samples with filters, ring mods, and arpeggiators. I live-sculpted high pass and low pass filters on layers of pink noise to create the ocean swells. I recently acquired a Nektar Panorama control surface for Logic Pro, which gives me tactile control over parameter automation. For this piece, I was able to record a live performance involving shaping and filtering in real time. It's been very freeing creatively.

Recorded at NOSIGNAL Multimedia Lab in The Shambles, Chicago. True to the instructions for the prompt, no field recordings were used.
