My track notes regarding the creation of this track can be found here: https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0697-first-third/71838/18

The Assignment: Record the first third of a trio.

Please note: While this project is the start of a three-part sequence that will unfold over the course of three consecutive weeks, you can participate in any or all three of those parts.

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. (Keep in mind that your piece resulting from this week’s project will be panned to the left in the second and third weeks of this sequence.)

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 the one after that.

[Disquiet Junto 0697] Mr. Bowed Jangles

Part 1 of 3 of the annual Disquiet Junto Trios project

A low B note drones throughout, with a slow evolution of added notes of the B Major 6 chord. No beat or melody, and certainly nothing of interest for AI bots. Created on Solar 42.

Field recording from this morning, recorded in the garden while - - - gardening. I cut it into three equal parts of one minute each: work, walk, church bells.

alarm [disquiet0697]a

I wanted to create something simple and circular that could stand alone for this first part of the @disquiet trio project. Using the Silver Age piano preset on Logic Pro with no effects, I repeat the note sequence D, G, D, A, F# eight times, sometimes letting the D and A overlap. There is no bpm to this and the only alterations I made when listening to this several times after recording this sequence, was to reduce the velocity on many of the notes to evoke an almost 'not really playing' quality to the piece.

Looking forward to hearing if anyone takes this further.

SONG 93 - DisquietJunto0697 - First Third

Worked on this duo by e_nu_ri (@user-807707609) : https://soundcloud.com/user-807707609/bowed-and-jangled-farther-disquiet0698  based on this original track by 
@red_robin

The all-synth background is great. I thought the contrast between those synth tracks and a warm, acoustic tone could be interesting, so I improvised a lead part on tenor ukulele. I also added an infra bass drone playing the tonic, and used a little software I’m beta testing that generates sound from a text prompt using some kind of AI (can’t say more here, but it’s fun for drones!).
It's like a dark, abstract recitativo, hope you like it.
