Travelled quite a long distance in your track. Quite a good minimalist soundscape.

nice pattern....you went down the purist route...i did the exact opposite

Disquiet Junto Project 0169: HTML505

one thing i wish the html5drummachine had would be mute buttons, but then again it's about the limitations in this case

(another limitation i discovered by pressing Backspace before i saved)

additional limitation was not using perc1, perc2 and crash sounds from the techno pack as i couldn't fit them in any way

some programming on the fly and also since it can switch between 2 patterns i took advantage of that

no layering, no additional processing, direct output from the browser

antipattern [disquiet0169-html505]

Single live track = Sound of 12 FireFoxes battling for CPU cycles. Minimising the windows doesn't stop them, but has drastic effects on the tempo. Maximising them all makes them glitch along eccentrically, in a manner I found satisfying.

OK - so it's mobile and cross-platform (if it works with your browser at all...) but, sheesh, 8-bit micro's sure did it better!

Wasted couple of hours trying to reverse engineer a local cached version of the app; to apply own sound sets, or modulate the controls algorithmically. Concluded there was no point.

HTR909 - disquiet0169-html505

I don't usually work with beats or drum machines - so I found this week's assignment a bit challenging. I played with the app for a while, to figure out what to do... recorded a few live performances and tried tweaking it to it's limits fast/slow/high&low pitches... But I really wanted to make a poly rhythmical piece, so I ended up oppening Firefox and Chrome each with the HTML505 drum machine, playing the same beat at the same tempo - 120...that happened not to be exactly the same tempo, so the rhythm goes from in sync slowly shifting to out of sync and then back into sync after a while.... quite lovely I think. 
The title is a homage to Steve Reich who composed a few pieces with a similar ideas...

“disquiet0169-html505” I'm Clapping in the Rain

I've been messing with some some self similar melody ideas, thanks to Tom Johnson's book of the same name. These patters are built on brief self similar melodies.

C63874e2 - 2ff5 - 4bc2 - B892 - 7497b7d50725 [disquiet0169-html505]

This week's restriction was tough, to make a track using only an HTML drum machine. I took a strict reading of this to mean no audio editing, effects or overdubbing. It was made more difficult in turn by the fact I couldn't run the site on a multitouch device, so could only tweak one button at a time. I initially tried to create something by jogging the tempo wheel but it was tricky to get any precise control. So instead I did this. One pattern with slightly shifting changes. One take. No edits. Better with headphones. I think.

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.
