Disquiet Junto Project 0639: Path Ways (4 of 3)
The Assignment: Rework musical trios using the constituent parts — one of two ways.

These instructions are fairly lengthy. Please read carefully. Originally this trios sequence of projects would have ended with the completion of the trios after three consecutive weeks. However, those went particularly well, so let’s see if we can push it a little further.

Please note: You needn’t have participated in any of the prior Junto projects to participate in this one. 

Step 1: In the previous project, we completed musical trios. Project 0638 was the third of three consecutive projects. In the first one, 0636, musicians recorded solos. In the second, 0637, musicians took those 0636 tracks, nudged them to the left side of the stereo spectrum, and then added their own music to the right, forming duets with a hole in the middle. In project 0638, other musicians introduced a third track down the center of the 0637 recordings, completing the trios. You can revisit the music via the blog posts disquiet.com/0636, disquiet.com/0637, and disquiet.com/0638, and you can follow the forking paths through the related Google Drive spreadsheet.

Step 2: The goal of this project is to rework the material that accumulated over the course of the previous three projects. There are two main ways to go about this. One is to simply choose one or more tracks and remix, combine, mash-up, or otherwise transform them. The other is to move on to Step 3.

Step 3: Choose one 0636 track, a solo, that yielded more than one 0638 trio. (These are highlighted in light blue, or maybe it’s teal, in the leftmost column of the spreadsheet.) Trace the various routes that 0636 track took. Perhaps it also led to some 0637 tracks that never went any further. Perhaps there are various 0638 versions based on varied 0637 versions. In any case, record a piece of music that lets the listener experience the branching paths that the original 0636 track took over the course of the three phases of the trios project sequence. Clearly you will be using a linear form to represent variations, so how to achieve that will require some compositional ingenuity. But you’re up to the task.

This playlist is for the #disquiet0639remix approach.

Part 3, the final step in the Disquiet Junto asynchronous collaboration series!

I decided to pick up where "Do Androids Dream of Sleep" by Fake Genius and undermulden left off (https://soundcloud.com/undermulden/fakeg3nius-undermulden-do-androids-dream-of-sleep-2-of-3-disquiet0637?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0637). There was plenty of tension and activity and a strong sense of space in what they'd done. There was an almost foley-like acousmatic quality to what undermulden had brought in to Fake Genius's ethereal setting. I didn't hear anything that was missing musically, so I reached way deep into the Internet Archive to source some spoken audio for samples.

undermulden had commented that there was a lullaby-like quality to what Fake Genius had done, and that gave me the inspiration to go digging for children's books. I found 30 minutes of audio, "A Child's World of Sounds", archived from a 1963 LP. I listened to the Part 2 music on repeat while I scrubbed through the audio, grabbing samples that fit the mood. I did some processing on them and then imported them into Logic to arrange. I took a sort of refrigerator-magnet-poetry approach until the samples fit together and worked with the other material. I think it came together nicely.

Merle Bardenoir is a French singer-songwriter whose universe is imbued with  symbolism and fantasy. His music ranges from psychedelic synthpop to electrofolk.

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.
