Disquiet Junto Project 0638: Center (3 of 3)
The Assignment: Complete a trio begun by two other musicians.

As was the case last week, the instructions for this week’s project are fairly detailed, so please read them at disquiet.com/0638.

Deadline: Monday, March 25, 2024, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.

Disquiet Junto Project 0638: Center (3 of 3)

Built upon 33per's "(Rock the) Firebells" piece: https://soundcloud.com/33per/firebells

This instrument made of fireballs immediately made me think of the two organ pipes I have in my studio. I took them outside and played them with a shop vac. A bit noisy, but there it is.

Added two elements to 33per's track, both are made from samples of the lowest organ pipe. Left lots of empty space.

As the original track is stereo and makes use of that, my mix is also stereo with my parts layered on. I have a version with hard panning if you prefer.

The Assignment: Record the second third of an eventual trio.

These instructions are fairly lengthy. Please read carefully.

While this is the second part of a three-part project, you can participate in one, two, or all three of the parts, which will occur over the course of three consecutive weeks, starting last week. 

Step 1: This week’s Disquiet Junto project is the second in a sequence intended to encourage and reward asynchronous collaboration. This week you’ll be adding music to a pre-existing track, which you will source from the previous week’s Junto project (disquiet.com/0636). Note that you aren’t creating a duet — you’re creating the second third of what will eventually be a trio. Important: Leave space for what is yet to come.

Step 2: The plan is for you to record a short and original piece of music, on any instrumentation of your choice, as a complement to a pre-existing track. First, however, you must select the piece of music to which you will be adding your own music. There are tracks by numerous musicians to choose from (47 as of last count). All but one are in this playlist:

Is still on the line (duet with Andreas Kitzmann) - disquiet0637

This is my second submission. I added some chords (G, G6, G7) atop @VonnaWolf's cowbell rhythm jam. Middle section is clear for someone else to add something. Tempo is 124.5 bpm but it drifts a little during the second half.

Cowbell And Aliens - Disquiet0637

In the second part of the three week @disquiet Junto Project, I took @triermusic's Ableton Live track of street musicians and added three Logic Pro X bass. I panned Nate's track halfway left and my basses to the middle of the right and kept the tempo of 81bpm.

Melancholic Twophoria [Collab with RabMusicLab] (disquiet0637)

I liked this track by  he_nu_ri (@user-807707609) & mikey_a (@mikey_a)
https://soundcloud.com/mikey_a/both-sides-of-the-river-disquiet0637

I just jammed on top of it with my accordina but it was too much of the three of us, so I split the stereo original, separated he_nu_ri,  mikey_a and myself on 3 tracks (softly panned like the original with mine at centre) and made some very creative use of the delete button, as Eno used to say.

That created some space that I then filled with huge reverbs. I’m afraid I didn’t really honoured the source track on this one, but it is done so I better share it.

Krautrockish
I promise I was thinking on making this a bit Krautrock when I started, doesn’t sound like that now, I guess...

Based on rightward [disquiet0637] by LazenbeeIndustries and John Wright

I just added a 808 kick and played bass. Most satisfying and less time consuming on the lot, but I don’t think it works, a 4th (soloist) part is needed IMHO.

dedicated to the guy in the photo, god bless him..

Krautrockish (with LazenbeeIndustries and John Wright) disquiet0638

I dunno, maybe it's springtime in sunny Paris, but I felt the urge for some old disco vibes. 
So I went for the duo. Lefty Drone, Right English disquiet0637
https://soundcloud.com/skylarkduquesne/lefty-drone-right-english-disquiet0637
by skylark duquensne (David Totten)  and alanblip

I didn’t change the original tracks at all, I behaved this time.
I added a beat, for that 50 years old euro-disco vibe and then jammed on a lead synth that brought this to some sort of proto-disco-floyd.

Four on the floor man, you can’t go wrong…

It was fun.

I heard a lot of duets last week, a lot of good ones. In the end I went with the German Romantic and played SOMA Terra.
thanks @analo & @torsten goerke for your inspiring duet:https://soundcloud.com/analoc/right-beside-you-disquiet0637?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0637&si=6ecc2889c9a2400dbeccda5796ff8c38&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

Disquiet Junto #0638

Whatever you say, Mr Spaghetti [disquiet0638]

This is built on

@lazenbeeindustries - rightward
https://soundcloud.com/lazenbeeindustries/rightward-feat-john-wright-disquiet0637

which in turn is built on

@thgirwnhoj - Just Percussion
https://soundcloud.com/thgirwnhoj/disquiet0636-just-percussion

My addition is a pair of bass parts. It was a challenge to make the bass parts stand distinct without being able to shape the other two parts... but I did my best.

I also added a kick. It seemed needed to drive the percussion once there were so many other parts going on. I shamelessly admit that I got the idea from reading @DeDe's write up of their own treatment of the same pair of tracks.  (Didn't listen yet to keep myself ignorant by what is surely a fantastic bass track!)

I resisted the temptation to muck with the two original parts, but I did use the original full-stereo version of Just Percussion, and then I panned it and rightward somewhat left and right, not hard. You should still be able to keep the parts distinct as you listen. As always - if anyone wants stems, or a hard L-C-R mix, just ask.

Whispers before the wild

Last Saturday, the ACEC building in Apeldoorn transformed into a pulsating universe of sound, light, and energy. During De Opening, Deep Circuit Electro Miners delivered a concert that shook the walls and lit up hearts. The audience was swept away on a sonic journey through glitchy rhythms, hypnotic visuals, and an atmosphere that hovered somewhere between rave and ritual.

To close this unforgettable evening, the group unveiled their latest creation: The Glob. A track that feels like a cosmic entity slowly coming to life—growing, pulsing, transforming. It’s the perfect fusion of their experimental roots and their love for the unexpected.

With members from London, Amsterdam, and Apeldoorn, Deep Circuit Electro Miners is more than a band—it’s a collective that creates music for the sheer joy of it, yet with a depth that lingers. The Glob is out now, and if you dare, you can listen to it on their SoundCloud. But be warned: once The Glob grabs hold of you, it doesn’t let go.

The Glob

This is an account for various experiments and snipptes.
My main musical project, is Electric Kitchen. See the link:

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.
