Disquiet Junto Project 0582: X Techno

This is a response to the 582'th disquiet junto challenge. This time - I'm trying to use classical/orchestral and organ samples in a new way, that is - i think - not completely, but almost, unlike techno :)

Eight Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag “disquiet0582” (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 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.

Repetition is Meditation - disquiet0582

I had two ideas for a new Techno subgenre: “Fibonacci Techno” and “Technoviking Techno”. The first would follow Fibonacci numbers as closely as possible. The second would sound like the first track in the famous Technoviking meme video (acoustics, not melodies or beats). The first I deemed easy to pull off, the second impossible. So to make a challenge out of this, I merged the two genres into “Fibonacci Viking Techno”. I followed the numbers as closely as possible, e.g. setting all values of instruments and effects to Fibonacci numbers (which musically makes little sense - but the concept asked for). The bass drum is on 8, most other things on 1, 2, 3, 5, 13 or 21. For effects I went up to 89 - wow! Then I tried to boost tone whole thing to Viking level, which I unfortunately did not reach. Kept it really short with lots of breaks, which is the norm in this genre.

For this challenge I hybridised my last Disquiet offering, I resampled some of the ‘aquatic’ atmospherics and then recombined with a mutant faltering techno-ish rhythm and glitched siren calls. I hereby give you ‘subaquatic techno’. 🧜‍♀️ 
I did this latest doodle on my iPad again.

Lullaby Techno is a new genre of Techno I created for the Disquiet Junto project.

I made this example of Lullaby Techno music in Ableton Live, using music box, flute, and jazz drums. Not as electronic and dance-oriented as the description below implies.

[description of Lullaby Techno provided by ChatGPT]

Lullaby Techno is a unique genre of electronic dance music that combines the gentle and calming melodies of lullabies with the driving beats and rhythms of techno music. It is designed to create a relaxing and soothing atmosphere that can help listeners unwind and drift off to sleep, while also providing an energizing and upbeat experience for those who enjoy dancing.

Lullaby Techno often features soft, melodic vocals and harmonies, combined with repetitive and hypnotic synth lines and percussion patterns. The result is a dreamy, ethereal sound that can transport listeners to a peaceful and meditative state.

The genre is particularly popular among parents looking for a modern twist on traditional lullabies, as well as those who enjoy ambient and experimental electronic music. Lullaby Techno can also be used in a therapeutic setting, such as for meditation or relaxation techniques.

Overall, Lullaby Techno offers a unique and innovative approach to electronic music, combining the best of both worlds to create a sound that is both soothing and invigorating.

Hurricane Built For Two (disquiet0600)

Alien Brunch // eclectic electronic music and photo art

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.
