The Assignment: Add material atop a pre-existing beat to form a complete track.

Note: This week’s project is the second part of a two-parter, following up last week’s, but you don’t need to have participated last week in order to do this one.

Step 1: You will be adding musical elements atop beats created last week by other members of the Disquiet Junto. Select a beat. There are beats from 30 or so musicians in the SoundCloud playlist:

https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0572 8

If you search for the project tag, you’ll find a few extras, I believe, from folks who did more than one:

And there are two Bandcamp and one YouTube tracks in the discussion thread, along with details on many of the other entries:

Step 2: Add material to the beat you selected in Step 1. You can rework the beat if you like, even combine beats, but assuming you have limited time, the focus of your effort should be what you add, not what you do with the pre-existing material.

Step 3: When posting your track, be sure to credit which track(s) you employed as the foundation for your work.

This is my submission to Disquiet Junto #0591, a weekly compositional challenge.

Disquiet Junto Project 0591: The Loneliest Number
The Assignment: Record the first third of a trio.

Please note: While this is the start of a three-part project, you can participate in one, two, or all three of the parts, which will occur over the next three weeks.

Step 1: This week’s Junto project is the first in a sequence intended to encourage and reward collaboration. You will be recording something with the understanding that it will remain unfinished for the time being. Your part will be done, but more will happen. Read on.

Step 2: The plan is for you to record a short and original piece of music using any instrumentation of your choice. Conceive the piece as something that leaves room for something else — other instruments, other people — to join in.

Step 3: Record a short piece of music, roughly two to three minutes in length, as described in Step 2.

Step 4: This is important: be sure to make your track downloadable because it may be used by someone else in the next Disquiet Junto project, and then after that.

Took a break from Juntos recently to deal with life and trying to re-think my studio practice.

It's so nice to be back. Hoping to get into the "actually finishing creative work" mode again.

Here's a short ambient piece based on this idea I've been developing recently:
-  a few unsynchronized loop layers washing over like waves, endlessly recombining in new ways.

There's plenty of room for new material:
- there's no BPM as such - all sounds are coming as waves from a few unsynced loops
- sound is mostly located in this part of the spectrum, leaving space in the bass and treble parts for new layers
![image|507x500](upload://oh5uoAPjatvNVJtsiDq170Gk0Wh.jpeg)


Key: D minor, 10-15 cents above the reference note.
Tempo: none (multiple unsynced looping waves).
Instrumentation: bowed electric guitar + reverbs + tape emulation.

Enjoy! Can't wait to hear what you add :slight_smile:

For the third part of the collaboration exercise, I worked with this wonderful piece by @sonic-search ("Eden") and @melondruie ("Cast Out"). They say Eve tempted Adam with an apple, but I'm pretty sure it was a Tangerine.

Disquiet Junto Project 0594: Threemix The Assignment: Remix an asynchronously produced trio.

I didn’t have a lot of time the past two weeks, so while I started a couple of things, I didn’t finish anything.
Going through these half developed sketches, to see if anything might be a good starting idea for this week’s remix challenge, I was drawn in by a loop I made using @Melondruie and @Fake-Genius piece Quietude Disturbed from week 2 (https://soundcloud.com/melondruie/quietude-disturbed-disquiet0592).
I thought the piece had a bit of a Burial feel to it, so as a sound design challenge, I tried to make a Burial kind of beat to go with it, using sounds I made tapping and scraping an old Zither I bought second hand (and that I mostly tend to use as a place to put my headphones, apparently).

Going through the playlist for week 3, I noticed that pieces based on @encym ’s week 2 contribution Tête à tête (https://soundcloud.com/encym/tete-a-tete-disquiet0592 built on the week 1 piece of @andreas-kitzmann) fit harmonically with Quietude Disturbed. Also, these pieces, and especially @RabMusicLab’s La tête éblouissante (https://soundcloud.com/rabmusiclab/la-tete-eblouissante) fit rather well stylistically. So, I wondered if I could mash these pieces up together in some way. At first, I intended not to use the Burial-esque beat, because… well… because it’s such a blatant ripoff. But by that time, I’d been hearing the loop for a while, and the sound had nested in my head: other rhythmic ideas didn’t cut it. Neither did doing away with a rhythmic element altogether.

So, there you have it.

Deep Breakfast 233 ~ Karen Vogt

In fevered dreams she comes to me, a ghost haunting the deepest recesses of my psyche.

A blend of old and new ambient and idm flavored tracks. The title comes from the last track, which was the inspiration for this mix. It appeared on one of my favorite ambient compilation CDs with the alternate title of "In fevered dreams she comes to me", and that phrase has stuck with me ever since first hearing it. As someone that struggles with vivid, frantic dreams most nights, it often feels as though I am haunted by the past when I sleep. One of the few ways to soothe my subconscious is through music.

Tracklist

Miasma - Settled Storm
Gas - Experiments On Live Electricity
A Day In The Park - Talk
Field Lines Cartographer - Rhomboid Storm Clouds
36 - New Dawn
Omri Cohen - Broken Heart Of Sand And Stone
Michael Brückner - Your Life
Mysteries of Science - the technological womb
