This is absolutely fantastic. I can't believe how far you took it. Well done.

Been meaning to get around to posting something to a Disquiet Junto, and since this Junto is about finally getting around to something this seemed like a good time to jump in.

Musically the idea is to do music for meditators, similar to the sound bath genre. Sound Bath music usually uses sounds associated with Buddhism, like gongs and bells from Tibet. I find those instruments a little corny, appropriated, exoticist. My background is americana and folk. That's what I can play in an authentic way. So the main instruments here are from bluegrass - an old Gibson mandolin and a National steel guitar. In addition to those I'm playing a synthesizer, an Arturia Microfreak, using a bell sound that recalls traditional sound bath influences. All of these sounds are passing through a Microcosm pedal, which adds some classic ambient flavors like delay, glitching, and heavy reverb. The song that this is all based on is a fiddle tune called "The Black Water Fall."

MP3 and sheet music etc are on my blog at https://playingintongues.com/2023/09/28/on-the-third-day-she-left/

The Black Water Fell (disquiet0613)

I went with carles "Disquieting Polyrhythm" for this task!
First take, improvising with SOMA Terra through HOLOGRAM Microcosm.
Listened to the result and proudly realized that it all sounds a little and a little more like Tim Hecker :)

Thank you Carles for the inspiration!

Disquiet Junto Project 0632: Shear Wind
The Assignment: Make the most of the disturbance within a field recording.

I made a windy recording down by the Redondo marina.  It was a quiet day for once.  It's usually kind of noisy with human activity.  Good day for a windy field recording with just a hint of birds and sea lions.  

I converted the field recording to midi notes.  Ableton has a few options when you convert audio to midi, "harmony, melody, drums."  I chose harmony first and didn't get very many midi notes from the conversion, then chose melody and got a lot more.  I used both and even made one more sparse one.  Chime sounds seemed like a natural choice.  I put the same midi effect on all midi tracks making all the notes part of the same 5 note chord.

With the wind recording itself I faded in some resonator and phaser, and faded them out again towards the end.

blame it on the wind (Disquiet0632)

I downloaded the track by encym - https://soundcloud.com/encym/neat_disorder_disquiet0636 - then added an electronic microtonal sequence created in Pure Data.

Diluted Disorder - with encym (disquiet0637)

Part two of three of the Disquiet Junto collaboration project. This takes the C# electronic drone created by @alanblip and adds a drop-tuned guitar for a rhythm track. What will it sound like with a 3rd part, I wonder?

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!

Disquiet0639 - Weareone

I chose to revise a track from Jamuary ‘24 because its description on SoundCloud reads “Wanted to make something lovely, quiet, relaxed with Meadowphysics but it turned into a 128 BPM Techno jam.” This asked for a redo.

Most of my tracks are live recordings in AUM or on Norns. This one was based around Meadowphysics and Icarus. These parts were lost (as I never save anything on Norns) and impossible to recreate. So the revision is built upon on what was still working in the AUM file - Quanta Synth, a beat and a field recording. I cut the beat down to one kick and added the fabulous wavematrix. The rest is hitting a few Synth notes and live mixing.

Field recording CC BY-NC 4.0 DEED - TWICIASTY/Freesound. Thank you very much for letting me use this!

This is the original track https://on.soundcloud.com/iQjJ2RwjeS25e5ZZ9
