Disquiet Junto Project 0620: Beat Accrual Accrual 
The Assignment: Turn someone’s slow-build beat into a finished track.

Step 1: In the previous project, people built beats that accrue slowly over time. Familiarize yourself with the instructions at disquiet.com/0619.

Step 2: Several of the musicians who participated last week have allowed their tracks to be reused for this project. The majority are in this playlist. If you’d like your track from the previous project included this week, just get in touch and let me know.

This track is also available:

https://raincat.bandcamp.com/track/heartbeat-of-the-sun-disquiet0619

Step 3: Make a new track by adding material to the track you selected from 

Step 2. Do as little as possible to the source track. Try to just, for the most part, add to it directly, rather than processing or editing the earlier track.

Deadline: Nov 20, 11:59pm (your local time)

Oh, and the streaks of blue in this week’s project “cover” collage are from a photo I took of the lights at an Atarashii Gakko! concert I attended last week. It was a lot of fun.

. . .

Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, November 20, 2023, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, November 16, 2023.

Disquiet Junto Project 0620: Beat Accrual Accrual

Shock the Algorithm

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

About this track: 
If I were waiting for a therapy appointment, I would want to feel calm and contemplative. Nature makes me feel this way, also music. A nice pondering melody perhaps. A BPM near my resting heart rate of 60. So I used nature sounds (from Freesounds.org). I like being by water. I included some water sounds here. You have to be careful with the water sounds in lobbies. People may have to go to the bathroom too much. Also frogs. But I don't think I found a frog sound. It's mostly birds here. Lots and lots of birds. Hearing these birds made me thankful for birds, and sad for the ones my cats have murdered. I wonder if bird are real? So next I did my best to play calm and contemplative melodies on the D celtic minor Rav tongue drum because its fun to play and makes me happy. Pitched the tongue up an octave on one track. Converted to midi harmony for piano and a synth for other tracks. I'm not 100% sure if I would like this to play in a lobby. Perhaps its too intense. Hard to say. I'd probably be down for the experience.

Liminal Ponderance [disquiet0515]

For my asynchronous collaboration contribution to Disquiet Junto 0527 Magic Number 3 of 3 (and Weekly Beats 2022 Song 5) I built upon last week’s awesome track from @Daniel-Diaz (https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz/more-reflections-disquiet0526-with-noodle-twister) and Noodle Twister (@user-130801280). As soon as I heard this groove and catchy bassline I wanted to play some drums with it. So I started there, did a few takes using Ableton’s comping feature for the first time, which was fun. The next goal was some chords and maybe a lead of some sort. Almost went down rabbit hole on sounds, but settled on Arturia’s virtual Clavinet with some wah and grit. Then added a little extra percussion. Finally added the vocal samples from Natalie Major, downloaded from Noizz. I actually almost removed the vocals today, but in the end, here they stay.This was a lot of fun, and it’s been great hearing what everyone has come up with, there’s some truly amazing music from this group!

lyrics:
Wings on a Wagon
----------------
We've spoken twice
and roll the dice
i said i'm leaving this town for a day or two
I packed my bags
i'm on a railway track
i'm gonna see you again my love really soon
We're sailing into the unknown, before the sun comes up
Why we've become so distant? i see wings on a wagon
Why there's no line to reach you, we are flying on flamed wings of a dragon
there's only youth around me, only young angels beside me
i said don't worry about me, i see wings on a wagon
the end is near, i felt no fear
i had no time to think about
i saw the flames, i heard some names
and then connection lost for eternity
and i will call and i won't fall, get some rest and sleep well    
and i'll be there and i'll take care, don't worry mom i won't be late...

Strange process this one, Originally i was gonna work with https://soundcloud.com/xiiixxi/disquiet-junto-beat-accrual-disquiet0619, converting the piece into harmonic MIDI and inserting a sampler to the signal. But I wasnt happy with the results so I removed the beats and found another of last weeks submissions https://soundcloud.com/grantlucasmuller/broke-beat-disquiet0619, which complimented the strange artifacts the original concept had conjured. To this was added a subtle melodic part, mixed and mastered all in ableton

Loop Fragment   X I I I X X I   Euclidean~~~(disquiet620)

Hey, I worked on this track by @fake-genius
https://soundcloud.com/fake-genius/disquiet0619-ritm

I like it because it’s the sweet blend between demented and easy to follow.
I spent the whole day recording my upright bass, bowed, for a different project. I did 16 tracks of a repetitive thing, with rhythmic delays, so I am hot with the bow.
Here I did 8 tracks, so 4 stereo pairs (everything double tracked) and added two delays, one in 1/4th and another doing 1/8th notes.

The Assignment: Turn someone’s slow-build beat into a finished track.
I accrued more rhythm onto the infectiously groovy @x i i i x x i  track https://soundcloud.com/xiiixxi/disquiet-junto-beat-accrual-disquiet0619
Looped sections of that track, then played the e-drums live along with it using 808 sounds. Quickly picked out segments that sounded like they may work and felt lucky when they did. Did some effected vocal sounds for texture.

I used @daniel-diaz track Australopithecus https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz/australopithecus-disquiet0637-with-tristan-louth-robins which built on  Tristan Louth Robin's (@red_robin) Epochs https://soundcloud.com/red_robin/disquiet_junto_0636-epochs-left-1-of-3-72-bpm

I knew I wanted to play some drums along with their nice groove. Played djembe, then shekere, then full kit. Added in some rhodes harmony and lead and flute leads. Some chanting voices for a celebratory or ceremonial feel. Made me think of traveling across some great plains filled with animals. Evolving this more was fun, thanks to Daniel and Tristan for the great parts to build on!

Tres Hominis [disquiet0638] with Daniel Diaz and Tristan Louth-Robins

This a remix of https://soundcloud.com/mattmadd/duodronedrumtrio-disquietjunto0474-revised-and-corrected which was the third part of a triadic collaboration with joyneski and melondruie for last weeks Disquiet Junto. As recommended in this weeks junto assignment, I dug into all three of the contributions to find parts to use, then added more of my own. I heard a latent shoegazing droney noise rock vibe in so I went in that direction, doing what I can to do what needs to be done. As I mix, conceive, arrange, chop and tweak, (and wonder what the heck is happening), I'm reminded that I know nothing. Not exactly true, I probably (maybe) know something. Just as our ego tells us we're pretty darn smart and cool, we're reminded we don't actually know all that much. So keep learning, you fool. 
As I was browsing Disquiet.com to find info for this week's post, I stumbled on this 50th anniversary tribute to Allen Ginsberg's Fall of America album (https://allenginsberg.bandcamp.com/album/allen-ginsberg-s-the-fall-of-america-a-50th-anniversary-musical-tribute), and the track "Elegy for Neal Cassidy." Was great to hear that (thanks for sharing that Marc). I love that word, elegy. So since I know nothing, this week can be an elegy for the presumed knowledge it's time to let go of, and a reminder to learn something. 
The image: Someone took some smashed asphalt at the park and made some cairns. Thank you person, for making my walk special today.
