Disquiet Junto Project 0479: Truck Radio Rain

A literal interpretation of John Cage's proposition:  “The sound of a truck at fifty miles per hour. Static between the stations. Rain. We want to capture and control these sounds, to use them, not as sound effects, but as musical instruments.” 
It comprises a number of short recordings of the above-mentioned elements, randomly assembled into three longer sequences played simultaneously.

**Production Notes**

This is a remix of Disquiet Junto piece Policing the Dock ([https://soundcloud.com/zoundsabar/policing-the-dock-disquiet0474]), an asynchronous collaboration by Zoundsabar ([https://soundcloud.com/zoundsabar/]), Chaonaut ([https://soundcloud.com/chaonaut]) and Dave Gibbs ([https://soundcloud.com/david-l-gibbs])

First I extracted four-bar loops from the original source. Second, I treated them in the Kontakt Ensemble „Cycles“  from Slater & Ash, which is perfect if you want pulses that can go on a grid. Third it was arranging way many bits and finding some parts that could form a melody, which took at the longest. Lastly I added two shakers and some simple drums. 

Normally, it would sit there for a week, but as it’s the Disquiet Junto, the piece has to go tonight. Oh, and the intro reminded me of the chase sequence in detective story, hence the name.

**Disquiet Junto Project 0475: Low End (4 of 3)**

The Assignment: Remix a trio by doing forensics on its component parts.

Step 1: This week will involve remixing. The past three weeks, we’ve produced a large number of trios. These have been the result of a sequence of steps: first someone made a solo, then someone else turned it into a duet, and then someone else added a third element, making a completed work in the form of a trio. This week you will be remixing one of these trios, which you will source from the previous week’s Junto project (disquiet.com/0475).

Step 2: First, you must select the piece of music you will remixing. There are over 65 tracks in all to choose from, 62 as part of this playlist:

https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0474

And these four others. Consider the first to be number 63, and then in sequence to number 66:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0474-police-action/41007/54

https://sevenism.bandcamp.com/track/fog-in-the-chanel-continent-cut-off

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0474-police-action/41007/38

https://prrk-industries.bandcamp.com/track/follow-the-drummer

To select a track, you can listen through all that (warning: it’s a lot) and choose one, or you can use a random number generator. (Note: it’s fine if more than one person uses the same original track as the basis for their piece.)

Step 3: The simply stated goal is to remix the trio resulting from your selection process in Step 2. However, it is strongly encouraged that you locate the duet and the solo on which the trio is founded, and that you then employ those three tracks in your work. (In past projects like this one, some musicians have essentially extracted the other half of the duet by “removing” the solo from it, and done the same with the trio versus the duet.)

Step 4: As with last week, you can contribute more than one track this week. You can do up to two total. If you choose to do a second, you should preferably try to use a duet track that no one else has used yet. The goal is for many as people as possible to benefit from the experience of being part of an asynchronous collaboration. After a lot of detailed instruction, that is the spirit of this project.

Hulusi For Ghosts [disquiet0478]

for this track I first auditioned and downloaded multiple parts from freesound.org, from textures and synth noises to radio tunings (all creative commons free licences - see below for a comprehensive list). These where assembled into a drum rack in ableton and randomly triggered. I set random velocities which would trigger the sample offsets to create added variety. Furthermore I used live 11's new PitchLoop89 effect to create an active stereo mix.

Truck Radio Rain - disquiet0479

More on this 479th weekly Disquiet Junto project – Truck Radio Rain (The Assignment: Locate three sound sources and make something with them) – at: https://disquiet.com/0479/

Our prompt was inspired by John Cage and we were to find samples of rain, cars driving, and static between radio stations or record them ourselves, then make a track with only those sounds.

The Junto is a place for me to try new (usually brand new) things and share results, no matter how rough they are. This track is a documentation of my first ever jam with Cheat Codes V2 run on my Norns Shield and controlled with Grid... Also the first time I ran the script... and read through the manual. This script has some depth and I need to dig in, but in the mean time, try to get through this awkwardly choppy amalgamation of sound.

Three Elements (disquiet0479)

homemade car, radio and rain samples manipulated in ChucK--successively slowed with pitch shocks and beat shortened. Thanks Marc for the prompt!  https://github.com/charliekramer/ChucK/blob/master/disquiet0479.ck

Disquiet0479 Truck Radio Rain

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.

Noodle Twister is a sound artist in Northern England. Ambient, experimental and field recording are some of the current focus.
