Minimonte [disquiet0530]

My submission to the Disquiet Junto Project 0530 with the assignment: "Make the thing you think is the minimum viable music".
I like the elements of my music to have some connection, so three notes to make a chord would have been nice, but only two notes to make a melody is even better. No edits, no fancy timbres (the sounds are sinewaves), no interesting rhythms, the clock even runs at the default speed of 120bpm. But still I recognise this as music. It even sounds like a good ending, because the notes play a cadence.

Minimally Viable Music

The sound in this track is from a sine wave oscillator, sent through a self-oscillating low pass filter and then into a reverb. As the track progresses, the filter and oscillator are modulated by several LFOs, a CV joystick, and a CV sequencer. The minimalistic sine wave tones and rhythms at the beginning evolve toward the edge of chaos before settling back into minimalism.

Performed on a modular synth using Dixie II+, Ripples (og), Ochd, Batumi, Planar 2, SPO, Quadratt, Pamela's New Workout, Mimetic Digitalis, and Desmodus Versio.

Humming Top (small Gestures Wrote Large Mix) [disquiet530]

Minimal Viable Product (MVP) is a development and commercialization practice in which a new concept is introduced to the market with basic features. The intention is to maximize the amount of learning, in order to assess product fertility, while minimizing the amount of resource investment.

The general template of an MVP consists of listing the key characteristics of the product that customers will deem essential, usually in the form of questions. These are then coupled with elements that can be designed and manufactured within aggressive time and cost guardrails. Subsequent iterations of the MVP render an offering of increasing maturity, ideally and hopefully, before it transforms the market for which it’s targeted.

Suss Müsik took an MVP approach to this week’s Junto project. The primary questions regarding viability might be interpreted as: to what extent do acoustic and electric guitar fragments, when pressurized under certain constraints, no longer render themselves as inherently musical? At what point do these fragments cease to offer acousmatic value to the listener? And to what extent would an audience be willing to subject themselves to that experience? 

The responses to these inquiries, as with all instances of MVP concept testing, are subject to input from a respective target audience. In this case, that audience is you. 

The piece is titled MVP v.1 and was recorded live to 8-track in February 2022. The image is a schematic overlay of an actual instrument prototype.

Disquiet Junto Project 0529: Squared Off

Make the thing you think is the minimum viable music.

Major thanks to Saga Söderback for having come up with this project.


I considered what "Minimum viable music" means to me.

For me, musicality has always linked directly to musicianship. A great practitioner of their instrument has great musicianship, and great musicianship opens the path to great musicality. Musicality then breeds music.

So in a quest to go minimal, I took the road of a single C2 note from a Juno synth (TAL Uno LX) -a square wave oscillator, everything open. Nothing easier than hitting a note! 
Then I sent the audio from that single note, looped at 134 BPM, into a load of effect tracks, comprising reverbs, delays, pitch shifters, overdrive distortions, and digital degradation effects units.

I wanted to expose my love for effect units. Nothing but a C2 on a Juno was used here. Musicianship is minimised fully - musicality comes from performance of 'effects', not of 'instruments'. Set up and play the effect units in a digital DAW. Minimum Viable Musicianship....

Tal Uno LX, Wave H-Reverb, Eventide Little Plate, Surreal Machines Diffuse and Modnetic, Eventide Little Alter Boy, Eventide Effect Rack x3, Tritik Moodal x2, Replika XT x3, Glitchmachines Fracture XT x2, Sonic Charge Permut8. A shade of feedback here and there!

Thanks for listening...

Disquiet Junto Project 0530: Minimally Viable Music
The Assignment: How much less is just shy of too little?

When I think in minimal music nature always comes to my mind. Birds and raindrops have been always there. Rhythm and melody, cycles and pulses are the expression of mother earth. This piece brings electronic pulses, cycles and noise together as an homage to music in nature.
