This short piece is just full of great surprises!

Thank you for candidly sharing your life experiences. I feel that this is an area that can often be completely overlooked and unaccounted for in people's work. There's generally a compulsion for the new and now. It's refreshing to meditate on the path that has found us here.

Thanks for your introductory words and for this great track.

Nice sonics and room! My kind of thumps :-)

Disquiet Junto Project 0665: Clicks + Cuts Music Factory
The Assignment: Record a track in honor of the late Achim Szepanski.

One of the things that stood out to me in the music on the first Clicks_+_Cuts compilation from Mille Plateaux, was how in several pieces shifts in foreground and background are used as the main source of musical development. Parts that start in the background move to the fore, while others that were in the centre move to the periphery.
In the piece I made, I've tried to centre this approach. it consists of three main layers, a kick/bassdrum layer, a percussion layer and layer of slowly moving tonal material (mostly swells). The source material for these layers was made using a zither played in a variety of ways (harmonics, extended technique etc) and treated in real time (as I was playing) with various digital effects 
Subsequently, I mixed the layers and used mainly delays, reverb and filtering, as well as stereo processing, to draw the listeners attention to the different layers, creating shifts in foreground and background.

I recorded this late night Thursday October 3rd 2024 and during the morning of today, next day, Friday.
Tempo is 66 bpm
I used 6 instances of Kontakt with creepy sounds and orchestral bursts.
I recorded 6 tracks with toys and little percussions I had around the studio (sticks, crotales, a turtle shell, a "cuica")


I used a photo by Vitaliy Shevchenko for the cover image.

Congratulations @disquiet  and all junto fellas for this diabolical milestone.

Using a feedback delay you can add more color and variations by processing the feedback loop through an effect of choice. In this example I'm using a 5 second delay and a reverb to color the feedback loop. The first part lets you hear the dry loop and the second part with the wet feedback.

Unfortunately adding an effect to a feedback loop is not possible in any DAW. I use Bitwig and Reason for this purpose. In Reaper it should be possible too. Another option is using plugins like MXXX.

Farewell [disquiet0242]

This track uses 2 tricks. 1) FEEDBACK is at the heart of everything electronic, oscillators and filters use it for instance, feedback in any process exaggerates the effects of that process and feedback is one of my favourite tricks, it gives you MORE but always suprises you. This is part of a piece i am working on using four “oscillators” which are feedback loops through delays. By cross-feeding and phase-shifting the feeding you can make anything from tuned harmonic drones to noise. I expect that this shares something with David Tudor’s work but this is all in software. (Max 7) They are difficult to control though and this is edited from a long recording when i was trying to write a song about Aleppo but couldn’t find the words. 2) In addition this piece is AMBISONIC to an extent. The oscillators are tapped at 4 different points (wxyz) to create a spatial image. Ambisonics is my other tip/trick/obsession, such an easy way to deal with 3d space and all the patents have expired so all the knowledge is mostly free and available - even for VR, just google it. Here using ATK plugins in Reaper to mix and Binaurally render the 4 channel recordings made in Max7 down to stereo. listen on headphones! and, off topic #0242 makes me think - who remembers Front 242? or the 242 Pilots for that matter?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ambisonic_Software

this track is dedicated to the people of Aleppo.

Feed(Aleppo)[disquiet0242]

The stress off modern life can be a bitch so I often find a little bit of sonic mayhem is just the balm I need. First I must stress this point -that you MUST delete all prior tracks as you move along your path of destruction, do not hold onto anything no matter how much you like something that happened. You must commit fully to come out the other side. I do this mostly with drum tracks as they often have the hardest attack and shortest decays and kicks just rock. I put 2 drum loops in. The first one stays the same the 2nd I warp to 2/3 time and do some more warping to get it out of time. I then crossfade those tracks to a new track. This will still have a bit of rhythm to it and that will have to go. Take that track copy it another track and start a a different point. The crossfader will now start clipping those sounds,record that to a new track. Now record that track and using the mouse to change the tempo using big and little changes. That new track now must be unwarped in ableton so that the tempo changes stay. Now you can use the new track and do some transposing. Because it is not warped the transposing also changes the speed of everything. Each new track can be copied and crossfaded between using a different start point. Keep doing this process till you feel the stress leave your body. At no point do I add fx. Fx too early in the process kills the slicing effect of the crossfader. When you finally reach you last track then you copy and paste that to another track. Now add fx to it but record it with you scrolling through the presets at whatever rate feels right. Now crossfade that track with the track with no fx and record to one track. Copy that track once and add different drum master fx to each. Pan one a little left and the other right. Master the master to taste. You should not be attached to the final track. That is not the point. The point is where your head is at now.

How to Obliterate a Drum Track and Find Inner Peace (disquiet0242)

I don't really have any special knowledge or tricks.  Three years ago, after an economic hardship that I brought upon myself, I started working on sound design again after a long layoff.  During my time away, I sold almost all of my hardware---Arp 2600's, Korg MS-20, 909, 808, SH-101's---many great pieces.  All I really had to work with was a computer and the often-maligned program Acid.  So, I learned to create in a linear fashion with software for the first time.  This piece is a representation of what I learned from the experience.

Anthologie {Disquiet 0242}

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.
