Excellent!  I like the elastic quality and variety in your rhythmic palette.

Man, this is tremendous. Thanks so much. The rhythms are splendidly pixelated.

Love the oriental rhythms in this piece...

The resonators were such a smart choice to add some melody/harmony here.

Disquiet Junto Project 0101: Analog Binary

Decided to keep this weeks Junto simple, so I recorded three instances of switching on / off 
First sound to be heard is my ceiling fan
2nd. is my electric kettle 
3rd. is the on off switch on my electric piano 
Duplicated each sound onto two different tracks panned each hard L & R timestreched one side of each "stereo" image slightly to create a phase shift kinda beat...then I thought of Mandela and wanted to create an uprising towards the end, so I duplicated everything a couple of times and displaced the new tracks a little more with long fades....to let the whole thing end with just two beats - it all falls back to the beginning... coming and going on your own.


Disquiet Junto Project 0101: Analog Binary

Record the audio of three objects in your home or workplace that have on/off switches. Capture the unique sound of them being turned on and off. For each of the switches, record several seconds of this on/off action so you can create loops of a steady pace. Then create an original piece of music that employs phase shifts — that is, in which the tiny distinctions between loops create noticeable patterning as time progresses. You can use some light processing, but the sense of "switch-ness" of the source audio should never be lost.

Deadline: Monday, December 9, 2013, at 11:59pm wherever you are.

Length: Your track’s length should be between two and five minutes.

Information: Please when posting your track on SoundCloud, include a description of your process in planning, composing, and recording it. This description is an essential element of the communicative process inherent in the Disquiet Junto.

Title/Tag: Include the term “disquiet0101-analogbinary” in the title of your track, and as a tag for your track.

Disquiet Junto Project 0101: Analog Binary.

I recorded 3 switches (Light/Coffee Machine/HiFi) then I sampled them and I applied some reverbs, delays, resonators, while playing with the samples. It was quite fun ...

LINEAR BELLS - Disquiet0101-Analogbinary - HiFi Furry

The three sounds are ones I had recorded a few years ago at a bakery I was making bread at. One is a Vitamix blender, the other is a 30qt mixer, and the last one I can't remember. 
I only added a little effect to the vitamix: Bode Frequency Shift. 
The others I left raw. In the spirit of this assignment, I used fade in fade out, through out the piece.

Life/Death Machine (disquiet0101-analogbinary)

I left work early as I have a ton of personal time to take before the end of the year and then I recorded my light switches with a Zoom H2 recorder. After importing the recordings I built a small dub send/return network to apply lightly. The deep droning sounds are created through micro loops one of the more interesting switches in my new apartment is the one that controls the garbage disposal after introducing the garbage disposal loop I began micro looping it to create a granular sounding pad and then towards the end layered several of them all in different spans of time off the original loop.

Hope you enjoy.

Recorded three sounds as directed: A microwave, a kitchen sink (not strictly a "switch" but it does go on and off), and a small battery-powered hand drill.

In Ableton Live, loaded the sounds and made a few permutations of each, both in length and pitch.  They are brought into and out of the piece throughout.

For Whom The Boole Tolls [disquiet0101-analogbinary]

Things have been busy lately and so I haven't participated in a disquiet project for a spell.  Feels good to be back at it.   This composition uses the sounds of three switches:   

1) a portable Flashlight with a rubber push button that clicks twice to turn on and twice       to turn off 

2) a humidifier while plugged in

3) a Seth Thomas Metronome (only the on/off switch is heard)

Loops were created from the recordings and some loops were duplicated and given resonators at various harmony settings.  The Humidifier was tripled and at one point  some delay was added progressively to alter the rhythm.  Parts were added or subtracted and beats moved with each loop systematically based on groupings of 3 and 4 (these grouping were sometimes beats, sometimes measures, some times a subgroup-ing e.g. 2 beats or measures). Finally some automation of the resonators was added using the same system.

HIBERNICULUM

Ruby divining a river of red
Painting the sky with a cigarette head
Parting her lips for a thousand dead eyes
Somewhere to hide from the terrible night


whispered iniquites, lips stained with wine
none were decoded and none were defined
stalking and stumbling from one to the next
And crawling beneath her, the one she liked best


I was the martyr, the worst of them all
I took the scourges and I drank the gall
Pinned like a moth, I was hooked like the bait
I begged for a sip but she told me to wait


I'll wait forever if that's what it takes
Fall to the ground and turn into a snake
slither by her heels through desolate lands
crawl through the fingers of her outstretched hands

Mystery Red Inferno "Hibernaculum"

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.
