Disquiet Junto Project 0529: Squared Off
The Assignment: Explore the number 23.

I instantly wanted to do something with probabilities. So here are a lot of probabilities at work, thanks to Ableton: The pad (23 notes of A minor scale, with a 23% probability of being played an octave higher) and the gongs have a 23% probability of not to be played inside 1 bar with 1 note in a loop of 23 bars. The cymbal has a 23% probability of being played and, if played, a 23% probability of being a rainstick. The voices saying 'The Probability Is 23 Percent' are made with ttsmp3.com and I downloaded 23 different versions which had a switch probability of 23% (so not all of them may have been played; the 'stutter effect' is by accident, I did not found the cause and liked it anyway). And so on, with 23 bpm. I wanted to do 23 Minutes but to honor the "squared" prompt (and to spare you some repetition) it's only 529 seconds (8:49min). Be assured that, although I was a huge fan of The Illuminatus! Trilogy by Wilson/Shea and it may sound otherwise here, I didn't take all that too seriously…

It's CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 and A minor with 23bpm, feel free to remix.

The Probability Is 23 Percent [disquiet0529]

For me the image suggest stains on a table cloth, sweaty wine glasses and bottles...
I started recording a beautiful plastic bottle I had around, then added some simple drums (I can't drum more that 2 things at once, so here it's bass drum and hi hat)
The added some wine glasses (rubbed) and chamber crystal bowls (hit w/mallets) , some of my favourite samples.
The bass it's a freebie I recently found and wanted to test, just plain 808 bass sound in one octave. very nice (808 BM4 Lite)

for this project:

"Disquiet Junto Project 0557: Condensation Is a Form of Change
The Assignment: Interpret a graphic score that depicts four phases.

A combined play on a Brian Eno phrase and a John Cage visual motif is pretty much foundational Disquiet Junto territory. This week, interpret this image as a graphic score..."

Created by dd in Paris during the morning of Friday September 2nd 2022.

Bottles And Glasses (disquiet0557)

These recordings were made with deep respect in the country of the Ngarrindjeri peoples.

With respect, with sadness, with hope. Everything here has changed; except for the sound of the ocean. Where the waters meet, is where the sounds merge. The sound of the ocean, permeating all, remains the same.

Unprocessed excerpts from original recordings. (Listening with good quality headphones - preferably open-backed - with a flat frequency response is recommended.)

An Afterword: I am deeply pleased and honoured that the original recordings from which this piece was composed have found a perfect home in Megan Spencer's important and heartfelt podcast, 'Bringing His Spirit Home: Private Arthur Thomas Walker, Ngarrindjeri ANZAC', as immersive field recordings made in, and expressing the natural spirit of, Arthur Thomas Walker's home country. This educational podcast is one of four produced by Megan, commissioned by the Virtual War Memorial Australia, and can be heard here: https://vwma.org.au/education/bringing-his-spirit-home-private-arthur-thomas-walker-ngarrindjeri-anzac.

Some of my earlier Kurangk/Coorong recordings have also been happily woven into Megan's related podcast, 'Walking in Two Worlds: The WW1 Story of Ngarrindjeri ANZACs Cryril & Rufus Rigney', which can be heard here: https://vwma.org.au/education/podcast--walking-in-two-worlds--the-ww1-story-of-ngarrindjeri-anzacs-cyril-rufus-rigney.

In The Middle Of Time

A sough and a sigh, listening for surface noise and flies through drones and saturation.

Edit 20.08: Less saturation, more flies and ants.
