Disquiet Junto Project 0515: Talking Cure
The Assignment: Write music for a psychotherapist’s waiting room.

Step 1. Imagine that you are about to consult a therapist. You are sitting in the waiting room of his/her/their office.

Step 2. Picture some comfortable chairs, abstract artworks on the wall, and some large plants in the corners of the room. The perfect music for this moment is playing out of a high quality, vintage-looking speaker. You are ready for your appointment.

Step 3. Create a piece of music that you imagine hearing in this situation. The duration of the piece is up to you. If you are OK with your work potentially being excerpted, please license it with a CC license that permits derivative works (i.e., any CC license that does not include ND, “no derivative works”).

ho sempre preferito lasciare ‘fluttuare’ le cose piuttosto che cercare di definirle e il cosiddetto ‘mondo fluttuante’ - ukiyo-e - o l’abitare ‘poeticamente’ sono i miei ambienti e il mio orizzonte .. mi rendo conto che se fosse dipeso da me - o da quelli come me - probabilmente il mondo sarebbe un po’ più 'indietro' - diciamo così - sul piano evolutivo, ma forse - forse - anche meno distruttivo o autodistruttivo, chissà .. buon anno del Coniglio 😊

Disquiet Junto Project 0609: Speed Limit Pt 1
The Assignment: Record a track at precisely 60 BPM with the intention someone will subsequently rework it.

Step 1: You’re going to record a simple track at 60 BPM in 4/4 that will be reworked subsequently by other musicians, including potentially being combined with other tracks. Think about how you want to structure something with that intention.

Step 2: Record a 60 BPM track in 4/4 based on the thinking that resulted from Step 1.

Note: This is the first part of a two-part project. You don’t need to participate in both. In the Junto, all projects are intended to be doable as standalones. However, there often are sequences. The intended second project of this project, next week, will build on this one, so please consider making your track downloadable and available for reworking/remixing.

Disquiet Junto Project 0610: Speed Limit Pt 2
The Assignment: Combine two or more pre-existing 60 BPM tracks into something new — at half the speed.

Step 1: In the previous Disquiet Junto project, participants recorded a variety of tracks at a standard pace of 60 BPM. Listen to the resulting material on the Lines discussion board and the SoundCloud playlist:

https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0609

Step 2: Select two or more tracks from the provided ones, slow them to half their original pace — that is, to 30 BPM — and use editing techniques to combine them into one new piece of music.

for the Disquiet Junto project
https://disquiet.com/2020/11/19/disquiet-junto-project-0464-blanket-song/

The Assignment: Play over a song, and then remove the original.

Step 1: The point of this project is to cover a song in the literal sense of the word. To “cover” a song usually means to play your own version of it. Here, you will blanket the original: you will play atop a song you like, and then remove the original so only your accompaniment is heard. The original will not be recognizable in what remains. First, choose the song you want to blanket.

Step 2: Record yourself playing along with the song you selected in Step 1.

Step 3: Remove the song from Step 1 so that only the original recording from Step 2 remains.

Step 4: You needn’t identify the song from Step 1 when posting your track, but certainly feel free to do so.

***

Ah a frescura na face de não cumprir um dever!
Faltar é positivamente estar no campo!
Que refúgio o não se poder ter confiança em nós!
Respiro melhor agora que passaram as horas dos encontros.
Faltei a todos, com uma deliberação do desleixo,
Fiquei esperando a vontade de ir para lá, que eu saberia que não vinha.
Sou livre, contra a sociedade organizada e vestida.
Estou nu, e mergulho na água da minha imaginação.
É tarde para eu estar em qualquer dos dois pontos onde estaria à mesma hora,
Deliberadamente à mesma hora...
Está bem, ficarei aqui sonhando versos e sorrindo em itálico.
É tão engraçada esta parte assistente da vida!
Até não consigo acender o cigarro seguinte... Se é um gesto,
Fique com os outros, que me esperam, no desencontro que é a vida.

Fernando Pessoa

my contribution to the current Disquiet Junto project
https://disquiet.com/2020/12/10/disquiet-junto-project-0467-toolbox-show-tell/

ancora una volta il 'compositional challenge' del progetto #Disquiet di questa settimana è molto interessante .. se ho capito bene si tratta di 'mostrare' e/o 'raccontare' una pratica musicale venuta significativamente a galla durante questo periodo così particolare .. "Share a tip for making music that you learned during the pandemic" .. be', per quanto mi riguarda, io ho 'scoperto' una specie di 'guida assistita' nel suonare le tastiere .. ho sempre amato i 'patterns' ripetitivi, su tutti quelli 'really terrific' di Terry Riley .. non essendo però in possesso di tale tecnica esecutiva e compositiva, mi sono spesso 'accontentato' di arpeggi, ostinati o strutture sostanzialmente semplici, a cui ho cercato di dare una qualche pregnanza, o quantomeno una 'voce' personale, ma che con l'andare del tempo sembravano mostrare i loro limiti .. le tastiere di ultima generazione mi sono venute decisamente incontro nel tentativo di superare questa 'impasse', possedendo numerose varianti di arpeggi o 'patterns' .. in questi mesi, quindi, mi sono fatto 'guidare' da queste apparecchiature digitali, come se pilotassi un'automobile dotata di assistenza elettronica .. non ho, credo, esagerato nel loro uso, non mi sono fatto prendere la mano - è il caso di dirlo - e il risultato non è particolarmente distante da una cosa che con un po' di impegno probabilmente sarei riuscito a fare anche senza l'assistente digitale, ma essendo veramente poco dotato di pazienza e disciplina, ho potuto realizzare abbastanza in fretta cose nuove e diverse da quelle che ero solito fare - che è sempre cosa buona e giusta, no? -  senza contare che mi pare proprio di avere imparato roba nuova, non lontana da quella a me già nota, ma comunque nuova ..

piano patterns n°16 [disquiet0467]

"I'm a mellow artist, aging 68. I love and release eclectic music, from post-classical to drone. My fave instrument is the Mellotron."

Così, sinteticamente, di solito mi presento.

In genere compongo musica partendo dal suono delle tastiere, ma il mio vero strumento è il registratore.

O i software di registrazione.

"I was made for loving and making recorded music."

Confido da sempre nel potere evocativo e orfico della musica, nella sua capacità di riconsegnarci a mondi più veri e più giusti, più belli di quelli in cui di solito viviamo.

"Ich bin ein kosmische Kurier"

SoundCloud è la piattaforma musicale che preferisco perché è soprattutto il regno degli amateurs, di quelli che fanno musica per sé e per gli amici .. come quando da ragazzi si condividevano con gli altri le invenzioni e le creazioni .. io sostanzialmente sono rimasto lì e così .. non sempre, ovviamente, ma spesso ci trovo delle cose che valgono altrettanto - se non di più - rispetto a quelle più affermate e conosciute
