The assignment this week was to produce a song with as much silence as notes. I did not interpret silence as being total silence.

Thanks to Jason Richardson for having proposed this week’s project.

Disquiet Junto Project 0606: Three to One 
Compose a piece of music with three times as much silence as sound.

I took PSR K0606+20230813 as a starting point, a quasar in the constellation Tomofon (see image 1). The rotating quasi-stellar object is an exception because it emits seemingly irregular radio signals, unlike most other quasars. Also the rotation frequency and the loop cycle of the signal seem to be different. (You are listening to the unaltered recording from the Krakenkraft Observatory in the Atacama Desert.)

PSR K0606+20230813 [disquiet0606]

An electronic composition, sounds created in Pure Data.

Rippling (naviarhaiku507)

using the rings module as the 'percussive instrument', played by marbles - eight different recordings, each using variations on marbles settings (rate, jitter, ...) - snippets recorded using tascam in room instead of directly - arranged in ableton live, specifically adding panning, some filtering, dynamics

Disquiet Junto Project 0612: Drum Vector
The Assignment: Walk the listener through variations on the same percussive instrument.

Dragged my wooden tongue drum out of the closet for this one. Recorded too many variations and had to cut a few. Basically just used different reverbs and delays to give each variation it's own space.  Also played with panning on the cross fades to make it seem like you're walking from one area to the next.  Then for a noise bed I routed everything to a new track with more reverb, resonator, effects and so on.  Automated the stereo width on that one rather randomly.

Step 1: Pick a single percussion instrument.

Step 2: Record between 4 and 12 different short examples (roughly 20 to 60 seconds each) of playing that instrument. Imagine that each recording is by a different musician exercising a different aspect of the instrument. Make no deliberate attempt to match key or tempo or sonic quality between them.

Step 3: Imagine moving through space over the course of time, and encountering the sounds — overlapping somewhat — as you proceed. Arrange the recordings over the course of a track so that at least one and at most five of the examples are audible at any one time. To further the spatial movement, each could fade in at the beginning and fade out. They might, as well, move from position to position within the stereo field.

Step 4: If you wish, consider adding a noise bed underneath the entire piece to sew all of the pieces together, to provide a sense of the space one is moving through.

Eight Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0612” (no spaces or quotation marks) in the name of your tracks.

Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag “disquiet0612” (no spaces or quotation marks). If you’re posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to subsequent location of tracks for the creation of a project playlist.

Step 3: Upload your tracks. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your tracks.

Step 4: Post your track in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0612-drum-vector/

Step 5: Annotate your track with a brief explanation of your approach and process.

Step 6: If posting on social media, please consider using the hashtag #DisquietJunto so fellow participants are more likely to locate your communication.

Step 7: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Step 8: Also join in the discussion on the Disquiet Junto Slack. Send your email address to marc@disquiet.com for Slack inclusion.

Note: Please post one track for this weekly Junto project. If you choose to post more than one, and do so on SoundCloud, please let me know which you’d like added to the playlist. Thanks.

Additional Details:

Length: The length is up to you. How long a walk do you want to take the listener on?

Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, September 25, 2023, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, September 21, 2023.

Upload: When participating in this project, be sure to include a description of your process in planning, composing, and recording it. This description is an essential element of the communicative process inherent in the Disquiet Junto. Photos, video, and lists of equipment are always appreciated.

Download: It is always best to set your track as downloadable and allowing for attributed remixing (i.e., a Creative Commons license permitting non-commercial sharing with attribution, allowing for derivatives).

For context, when posting the track online, please be sure to include this following information:

Disquiet Junto Project 0613: Test Drive
The Assignment: Do something you’ve been meaning to do.

A few weeks ago, a friend was having really bad pneumothorax problems and sent me a short video on how to use something called a triple-ball breath-training device. Despite the negative circumstances (and the friend is doing better now), I liked the sound of the video clip (a single breath followed by three clicks and a release) tremendously and have been trying to use the sample for weeks. I've certainly got a handful of unfinished tracks with that sample .... but none finished yet. Today I started fresh and loaded the sample into ye good ol Fieldscaper - and liked the result. I did some post-processing on the two instances of the sample in Reaper. The track is now completely based on the sound of the mentioned sample. Have fun with it.
