Sounds very similar to my process - and I always have the inclination to add some rhythmic structure even if it doesn't call for it and use Guru for that (never upgraded to Geist, probably should!). Love the unsettling mood in this.

Disquiet Junto Project 0117: Naviar Junto Haiku

This week’s project involves members of the Disquiet Junto participating in another music-making community: the Naviar Haiku Project. Already members of the Junto have joined in the Naviar, and this is an opportunity to add to those ranks. Each week participants in the Naviar Haiku Project compose original pieces of music in response to a shared, provided haiku. The following are the steps for this week.

Step 1: This is the haiku for the 12th Naviar Haiku project entry:

“They encounter
A cathedral of ice
At the end of the world”

Step 2: Compose an original piece of music in response.

Step 3: Upload the file to the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud and describe your approach and process in the text field associated with the track.

Step 4: Also consider uploading the file to the Naviar Laboratory group on SoundCloud.

Step 5: Listen to other members’ tracks as they appear in the Disquiet Junto feed on SoundCloud, and comment on them when you have the time.

Additional Background: (1) At the end of every month a selection of tracks will be available on Naviar’s Bandcamp page as a pay-what-you-want album. (2) The haiku by Nite Rote. (3) The Naviar deadline is Wednesday, April 2, but this Junto project is to be completed by March 31. (4) The haiku was inspired by Werner Herzog’s documentary Encounters at the End of the World.

obsidian [naviarhaiku012 – they encounter / disquiet0117-naviarjunto]

I shouldn't but I had to….I'm writing a paper to conclude my studies at DIEM, Denmark for a degree in Electronic Music Composition - but this assignment sounded to good  when it landed in my inbox this morning...
I set out, as I had a pretty clear idea of what I wanted the track to sound like, and it wouldn't take long (did someone say naive?). I also wanted to try out my new interface for transferring digital audio from my iPad to my DAW - I ended up not using an sounds from the iPad, but anyhow I had fun trying and the excuse for working on this piece sounded good in my ears….What I did do, was using a couple of recordings of ice and snow, and a recording of a piano at a local thrift shop…and myself whispering the haiku. The ice and snow recordings where eq'ed a bit the piano went through Ambient a couple of times and once through a looper/delay in Reaktor. The final result is pretty close to what I thought of, before I started - as always things changed once I started experimenting with the material…but thats okay.

High coo [disquiet0117-naviarjunto] [Naviarhaiku012 – They encounter]

**Production Notes**

"Cathedral of ice?" Well, this had to be a drone. 

The base is an older piece, heavily filtered and treated. Added some Operator Sine bass here and there. The Pianos are from Boscomac (great free Reaktor stuff over there!) and the synth is Ye Good Ol’ Animoog on the iPhone - weeeee! Finally there were some last touches woth my new toy, a shortwave radio. 

Composing, arranging and mixing took 3 hours. Thanks for listening!

Creek [disquiet0117-naviarjunto]

I started by trying to find some source material; off to freesound.org. I liked stormpetrel's https://www.freesound.org/people/stormpetrel/sounds/173095/ (The sound of the Iceberg) but my computer crashed around halfway way through downloading the flac. Good enough.

Did the usual Junto pre-processing - noise reduction in Audacity to bring out some transients, Paulstretch to extract some tonal material. I played with some promising loops in reaper, vocoding the tonal material against some ice noise. That was then fed through lipredemuco, with the reconstruction lattice filter's coefficients rotated to make some synthetic whining windy sounds.

Then for no particular reason - because I really had planned to make the entire piece from the one sound sourced from freesound - I opened up Geist and loaded in some stock drum hits and noodled around with that for a bit. Alchemy and a self-resonant Strobe both use the original iceberg source material, but having already corrupted the original ambient piece, it was hard to resist playing (albeit pretty conservatively) with Oddity. 

As is often the case, it didn't work out as I expected and I feel I'd like to develop it more, but there will not be the time and now is probably a good time to wrap it up. That said, I think I've spent more time trying (pretty unsuccessfully) to name the thing than actually writing it. In the end, the rather unremarkable "burrowing into ice" is I guess reference to Junji Ito's Enigma of the Amigara Fault wherein people are inexorably drawn to a newly revealed geological formation with human shaped holes, find the one that fits, crawl into it, and die.

Daniel Lanois - Heavy Sun (feat. Rocco DeLuca)

sorry it's been a while. in my defence, I've hated everything about music for a while now.

2018 project

**Production Notes**

A track containing only sine waves and turntable surface noise ([https://freesound.org/people/lollosound/sounds/387005/]), that was quite a challenge!

I pitched, rearranged and chopped up the turntable sound to get a rhythmic track. 

All the sines are coming from Ableton’s Operator. To get some musical variation, I used plain vanilla, 8-bit and 4-bit sine waves plus a bunch of effects.  

Btw, if you can whistle the mid-part tune in its original tempo, I’ll provide you with an award ;-) 

* * * 

**Disquiet Junto Project 0326: Wave Turntable**

In collaboration with composer Danny Clay, make music for his exhibit with artist Jon Fischer using only sine waves and turntable surface noise.

Step 1: Tracks in this project will be played as part of a free event in San Francisco at the McEvoy Foundation for the Arts (mcevoyarts.org) on Saturday, April 7, 2018, for an exhibit by composer Danny Clay (dclaymusic.com) and artist Jon Fischer (feather2pixels.com). The project was developed in collaboration with Clay. Before proceeding, consider the sort of music that might be conducive as partially-heard, partially-background music for an art event.

Step 2: Compose a short piece of music using only sine waves and the surface sounds of vinyl played on a turntable. Those two sources are inspirations for the Clay/Fischer exhibit. (The cover image to this project shows some of Fischer’s turntable art.)

Six More Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0326” (no spaces or quotation marks) in the name of your track.

Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag “disquiet0326” (no spaces or quotation marks). If you’re posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to subsequent location of tracks for the creation a project playlist.

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

Step 4: Please consider posting your track in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0326-wave-turntable/

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

Step 6: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

my mom is the wife of my dad, and the mother of my brother; but more than that, she is her own person. and that person is pretty incredible.

I'm sure you have your own examples, and that's great. but this one is mine.

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.
