Nice crackly textures and great atmosphere!

Disquiet Junto Project 0679: Ice Age
The Assignment: Record the sound of ice in a glass and make something with it.

Welcome to a new year of Disquiet Junto communal music projects. This week’s project is as follows. It’s the same project we’ve begun each year with since the very first Junto project, way back in January 2012. The project is, per tradition, just this one step:

Step 1: Please record the sound of an ice cube rattling in a glass, and make something of it.

Background: Longtime participants in, and observers of, the Disquiet Junto series will recognize this single-sentence assignment — “Please record the sound of an ice cube rattling in a glass, and make something of it” — as the very first Disquiet Junto project, the same one that launched the series back on the first Thursday of January 2012. Revisiting it at the start of each January ever since has provided a fitting way to begin the new year. By now, it qualifies as a tradition. A weekly project series can come to overemphasize novelty, and it’s helpful to revisit old projects as much as it is to engage with new ones. Also, by its very nature, the Disquiet Junto suggests itself as a fast pace: a four-day production window, a regular if not weekly habit. It can be beneficial to step back and see things from a longer perspective.

Deadline: Monday, January 6, 2024, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.

13th year of Disquiet Ice.  For 2025, I used the ice recording for #53 back in 2013.  I put 6 of them in Samplr on the iPad with various settings and coordinates.  Ran it through my effects rig:  "Green Tape" on the Echosystem, "Green Ghost" on the Empress Reverb, and either Mosaic or Tunnel on the Microcosm.  I can't remember.

SONG 62 (disquiet0680)

sound art for disquiet0683.

I find it intriguing that reverberating objects create the sonic illusion of a large space. It’s like they have a hidden inner space that can only be expressed through sound.

I’ve kept things as minimal as possible. No effects, no EQing. Just two channels.

Left channel - reverberant sound sculpture made with various metal objects screwed to a piece of wood and played with a soft piano hammer. The contact mic is attatched to a part of the sculpture at a distance from the part being struck.

Right channel - glass prism rolled around a dented metal lid. The lid is dampened by hand and the contact mic is attatched directly onto the lid.

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.
