This is really great, reminds me of some of Squarepusher‘s more chilled pieces.

Nice work and thanks for the cool prompt this week :-)

Cool rhythmic jitters, and thanks for the (challenging) challenge this week!! 

Really cool. Nice to see that it's in ChucK -- thanks for sharing the code.

“The unadorned idea of a goal is ambiguous,” writes the neuroscientist Read Montague in his book Your Brain Is (Almost) Perfect. “As with any complex information-processing system, there are many levels of software in the brain … all other subgoals take a backseat to the most important edict—‘Stay alive until tomorrow.’”

One could be forgiven for procrastinating creative efforts during these past fourteen or so months. Alternatively, such conditions may also inspire a flurry of new activity that otherwise would not have happened. Regardless, some amount of stuff doesn’t get done.

Suss Müsik had an album ready to go for nearly a year before actually completing and releasing it this week. The concept was to revisit prior works with simpler, more spare arrangements. 

Suss Müsik was also interested in exploring what French philosopher Gilles Deleuze described as “figurative analogies,” blurring the auditory lines between how digital and analogue sounds are represented.

This week’s Junto contribution, titled Deleuze, is the demo of a track that wasn’t included on an album that almost never got made. A figurative analogy, perhaps, for what we mean to do vs. what we actually do.

Orchestral version of my Boundless Track featuring Noire Particle Engine by Native Instruments

Boundless - Noire

I set up a sequence like this:

set up 8 notes and 8 note durations in two separate vectors
sample without replacement four notes and durations
play those notes / durations using a Rhodes sound, then joined by an organ sound
replace the second note, play altered notes on Rhodes and original on organ
replace the fourth note, play altered notes on Rhodes and original on organ
replace the first note, play altered notes on Rhodes and original on organ

bring back the original melody; Rhodes and organ are joined by vibraphone

repeat the whole sequence (I have it set up to repeat four times--feel free to download it 
and change it to repeat 50,000 times, or maybe zero times)

code is available here: https://github.com/charliekramer/ChucK/blob/master/disquiet0377.ck

Disquiet0377 Algorithmic Assembly

I started with 12 glass bottles filled with different amounts of water.  Rolled a d12 8 times to get my 8 note scale. From here I rolled a d8 4 times to get my 4 main melody notes. The remaining notes were the replacement notes. Then I played each note in 4  different patterns. I rolled a d4 for the pattern and a d8 for the note in the specific pattern for all note selections..

TV ANNOUNCEMENT: A House That is Neglected is a House That May Be Doomed! (disquiet0377)

“The most indubitable respect in which ideas have helped mankind is numbers,” wrote the philosopher and logician Bertrand Russell. “We have become, in certain respects, progressively less like animals [in] that forethought more and more dominates [our] impulses.”

Russell believed that all human knowledge was, at most, a best guess based upon knowledge attained to that point. In his 1903 book The Principles of Mathematics, Russell argued that mathematical concepts were immune from doubt because they were constructed entirely of logic. An algorithm is really nothing more than a process — a set of rules to be followed in order to achieve a result.

The logic breaks down because life and language are slippery, inexact and subjective. A famous example of Russell’s Paradox is the barber who shaves everybody in town except those who shave themselves. Who shaves the barber? If he shaves himself, then he doesn’t shave himself; if he doesn’t, then he does. Groucho Marx once remarked that he would never join a club who would have him as a member. Suss Müsik doesn’t really make music, nor do we do much sussing. Paradoxes abound.

For this piece, a simple four-note phrase was played on piano utilizing a scale of 8 notes. The 2431 algorithm was applied not only to note sequences, but also to sustain levels and attack times. This created a weird phasing effect during transitions. The algorithm was also applied to a “scale” of wordless vocal recordings by Suss Müsik friend, collaborator and mentor Wm. Wolfgang Allen. Expect more such collaborations from this team in the very near future. 

The piece is titled Russellian. Many thanks to NorthWoods for contributing this inventive and interesting assignment to the Disquiet Junto community.

RIGHT ONE FRANKIE BARRZ ft. PISTOL DOUGH

Location: Kiev Passenger Railway Station, Kiev, Ukraine
Date: 21st May 2009, 10 o'clock
Gear: Sharp MD-MS701 with custom in-ear mics

Ambient/drone/experimental, live coding, EDM, Nixon.

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.
