Disquiet Junto Project 0590: Concrète Roots 
The Assignment: Make music combining field recordings and feedback

I was in Paris and brought my recorder along. Our hotel was right outside of Gare de l’Est. The little four note tune that’s at the start of the French Railroad service announcements was in the room about every two minutes, and so became somewhat emblematic of the trip. Also, there was this fluorescent tube light in the hotel bathroom that had a… je ne said quoi. Perhaps it’s the sound of arriving in a work place — a garage, storage space or studio — in the very early morning, still dark, at an hour when no one who has any choice in the matter is not in bed, everything quiet, all alone, and then this tingling, almost glitchy tone as the lights come on. You don’t see/hear them as much as you used to. 
So those recordings, together with a recording of a departing train, became the basis of this track.

The field recordings are accompanied by a feedback part, which was inspired by things I read in the llllllll cybernetic music thread: https://llllllll.co/t/cybernetic-music-roland-kayn-feedback-systems-ai/40635. 
I suppose it is a take on work by Jaap Vink. The audio signal goes into a delay, is then sent through some effects (in Vink’s setup, a ring modulator and a filter, if I recall correctly), then a reverb, and then sent back to the input, with some form of attenuation that is controlled by an envelope follower. The result is an audio signal loop that keeps its feedback in check automatically.
In my case everything was made on an iPad, which is surprisingly good and versatile for creative audio routing. Instead of a ring modulator, I used an app that has a bunch of resonators that you can actually ‘play’ using a keyboard: playing a note on the keyboard will activate the resonator tuned to that note. Playing the resonators subtly shifts/nudges the feedbacking audio into different parts of the frequency spectrum (in a way that is roughly analogous to what the ring modulator and filter do in Vink’s setup).

Disquiet Junto

Concrète Roots- disquiet0590

a combination of electromagnetic recordings to generate the feedback for the assignment and some old field recordings of birds squabbling at local sheds, with occasional environmental noises and artifacts. 
both tracks had lots of noise i tried to use as texture
added various layers of fx
all mixed in ableton

Into Noise [disquiet0590]

A simple chord sequence courtesy of Tonnetz Sequent, which is split between a chord that has its filter rhythmically opened and a muxlicer arpeggiating through the oscillators. I played with the volume and reverb settings as it ran through for a few minutes. Should be plenty of space for more parts to go over this.

The Loneliest Number(disquiet0591)

This track is about a minute of C# major droning, then some F# major, then back to C# major. Created using a modular setup using Moog Matriarch, Cloud Terrarium, and Virt Iter Lego for a total of 7 droning oscillators sent through the Matriarch ladder filter and stereo delay. Hope someone finds this to be a useful starting point!

This is the first part of a 3-part collaboration for the Disquiet Junto. All the sounds used in this basic rhythm track (85bpm) are from a recent session where the numerous noises a bass guitar makes were recorded using a contact mic on the body of the bass rather than through the normal pickups.

For this project I used a message someone left on my answering machine in 2000 or 2001. The message was clearly not for me and I am not sure what it means (or even what language it is). My guess is “Goran Bocic has a daughter, call her” (based on the guess that it is Bosnian).

So I chopped up the recording in koala sampler, did a little beat, some beeps, and left a lot of empty spaces to fill for someone else. I did not process the recording in any way and all the samples are in their original loudness and pitch. Also I did not use any effects, that’s for the next person. If someone wants to use the  original recording, drop me a line.

KLIKERKLUB is happy to release its new V/A Charity Compilation called "HOME/ ДІМ" — on the 24th of August — The Day of Independence of Ukraine. 

The album is a wild, genre-spanning collection of 45 unreleased tracks by exclusively Ukrainian artists. It aims to reflect the colourfulness and diversity of Ukrainian independent music in times of russia's ongoing war against Ukraine.

Many of the songs on the album reflect on the theme of “HOME/ДІМ” on various emotional levels. They deal with feelings of loss, longing, grief, memory, hope or rediscovery.

KLIKERKLUB would be happy if the album radiates something reminiscent of a warm late summer evening spent with loved ones at the edge of a forest, in the carpathianbs, a wheat field, a swimming lake,or by the sea. Where you lie next to each other, hold each other tight, talk about the past and the future, laugh liberatingly, cry, and dance.

Even if only in your thoughts. Because these thoughts are free. No matter where they are thought or under what circumstances.

The album is dedicated to all those who suffer under russian occupation or captivity and to whom these thoughts give support, strength and courage to resist!

***

With "HOME/ ДІМ”, @klikerklub would once more love to show its deepest respect for the courage, strength, openness, warmth, friendliness and last but not least, the creativity of the Ukrainian people.

SLAVA UKRAINII

***

All the proceeds will be donated to Superhumans Center in Lviv/ UA, an All-Ukrainian center of war trauma.
