@leonvanbokhorst: Glad you like it! The transition between the clear and the distorted part went more smoothly than I first expected.

Exciting soundscape, cerebral, complexity of sizzling gravel and ..this fluidity....

starker tobak, nix fürs nebenherhören! gefällt mir aber. ich nehme an, es sind samples, die am pc zusammengefügt wurden?

Disquiet Junto Project 0117: Naviar Junto Haiku

This week’s project involves members of the Disquiet Junto participating in another music-making community: the Naviar Haiku Project. Already members of the Junto have joined in the Naviar, and this is an opportunity to add to those ranks. Each week participants in the Naviar Haiku Project compose original pieces of music in response to a shared, provided haiku. The following are the steps for this week.

Step 1: This is the haiku for the 12th Naviar Haiku project entry:

“They encounter
A cathedral of ice
At the end of the world”

Step 2: Compose an original piece of music in response.

Step 3: Upload the file to the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud and describe your approach and process in the text field associated with the track.

Step 4: Also consider uploading the file to the Naviar Laboratory group on SoundCloud.

Step 5: Listen to other members’ tracks as they appear in the Disquiet Junto feed on SoundCloud, and comment on them when you have the time.

Additional Background: (1) At the end of every month a selection of tracks will be available on Naviar’s Bandcamp page as a pay-what-you-want album. (2) The haiku by Nite Rote. (3) The Naviar deadline is Wednesday, April 2, but this Junto project is to be completed by March 31. (4) The haiku was inspired by Werner Herzog’s documentary Encounters at the End of the World.

obsidian [naviarhaiku012 – they encounter / disquiet0117-naviarjunto]

I shouldn't but I had to….I'm writing a paper to conclude my studies at DIEM, Denmark for a degree in Electronic Music Composition - but this assignment sounded to good  when it landed in my inbox this morning...
I set out, as I had a pretty clear idea of what I wanted the track to sound like, and it wouldn't take long (did someone say naive?). I also wanted to try out my new interface for transferring digital audio from my iPad to my DAW - I ended up not using an sounds from the iPad, but anyhow I had fun trying and the excuse for working on this piece sounded good in my ears….What I did do, was using a couple of recordings of ice and snow, and a recording of a piano at a local thrift shop…and myself whispering the haiku. The ice and snow recordings where eq'ed a bit the piano went through Ambient a couple of times and once through a looper/delay in Reaktor. The final result is pretty close to what I thought of, before I started - as always things changed once I started experimenting with the material…but thats okay.

High coo [disquiet0117-naviarjunto] [Naviarhaiku012 – They encounter]

**Production Notes**

"Cathedral of ice?" Well, this had to be a drone. 

The base is an older piece, heavily filtered and treated. Added some Operator Sine bass here and there. The Pianos are from Boscomac (great free Reaktor stuff over there!) and the synth is Ye Good Ol’ Animoog on the iPhone - weeeee! Finally there were some last touches woth my new toy, a shortwave radio. 

Composing, arranging and mixing took 3 hours. Thanks for listening!

“They encounter

A cathedral of ice

At the end of the world”

It has been a while since my last participation in the Junto but I thought almost every week that I should have worked on the most recent project.
For the sounds at the beginning of my piece I used -obviously- some recordings of crushing ice I made some time ago and layered them.
The synth-like sound in the second half consists again of sounds I recorded some time ago -the squeaking of a table when dragged over the floor and a chime.
At the end I distorted these sounds heavily by abusing a software-limiter.

Last Encounter [disquiet0117-naviarjunto/Naviarhaiku012 – They encounter]

When The Moon Dies Out

The Dark Symphony

Prelude To Darkness

The Dream Sequence

An instant analog feel jam aimed at classic Warp IDM.  deployed pro-53 ,808, various step sequencing,  obvious breakbeats and plenty saturation to get similar to selected ambientworks on old tapes. ableton is just great this is an improvisation on session view , excerpt 4 mins from couple of hours of a jam. 
I'm not sure the right of the swedish rhapsody irdial (public domain?)but it helped something like old cold war feel, here it is. i remember flying lotus and stereolab used it https://archive.org/details/ird059

Tcp D1 1 [disquiet0137 - Oldtimeelectronica]

Disquiet Junto Project 0138: Video Sonic Void
The Assignment: Compose a 2.5-minute soundtrack to complement a work of silent video art.

--------
Planning/Composing/Recording
- I wanted to create a piece which captured the slow rotation and the ambiguity of the rotating object.
- For the first part of this I used an iPad. All parts were recorded in Auria.
- The rhythm/percussive (slow rotation) was made with Sunrizer. I put on the Hold buttton and played seven notes. I duplicated the track to give it a fuller sound.
- The other six tracks were done with various other Sunrizer pads.
- Some reverb was applied to a couple tracks in Auria, but no other fx were used.
- I mixed down the tracks and put that into csGrain. I played the mixdown backwards at a slightly slower speed. This gave the pad with a sweeping white noise a grainier sound which I thought fit with the blurred nature of the video.
- I took the recording of that and put it in ReNoise for a final mixdown. Eventide UltraChannel was used for some EQ and compression. The sample was trimmed and then automated the fade out to fit the required length.
--------

Many thanks to the San Jose Museum of Art for inspiring and encouraging this project.

This week’s project involves writing music to accompany a short video. The video is “Untitled #8, 2004″ by the artist Josh Azzarella. His original work is silent, and we’ll be adding music to it that complements the source material. Do note that the video is intended by the artist as a “Never Ending Loop.”

The instructions are straightforward:

Step 1: Watch the following video.

Step 2: Compose and record a piece of audio that matches the video in length.

Step 3: Upload your piece of audio to the Disquiet Junto group’s SoundCloud page, following the instructions below.

Step 4: Listen to and comment on the other tracks posted by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

The “Untitled #8, 2004″ video is archived along with other works on the following page at the artist’s website. “Untitled #8, 2004″ is the fourth video in from the left. Its length is 2:31 (2 minutes and 31 seconds):

http://www.joshazzarella.com/videoworks200408/

https://vimeo.com/21678371

Background Information: The “Untitled #8, 2004″ video by Josh Azzarella is part of the permanent collection of the San Jose Museum of Art in San Jose, California. This Disquiet Junto project is the result of an invitation by the Museum for me to develop a sound installation to be displayed on its second floor from October 2014 through February 2015. Tracks submitted to this project will be considered for inclusion in that installation.

Restrictions: Please do not, at the museum’s request, post the video online with your audio.

Deadline: Monday, August 25, 2014, at 11:59pm wherever you are.

Length: Your finished work should be 2 minutes and 31 seconds long (2:31).

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: When adding your track to the Disquiet Junto group on Soundcloud.com, please include the term “disquiet0138-videosonicvoid″ in the title of your track, and as a tag for your track.

Gentle Orbit [disquiet0138 - Videosonicvoid]

NOTE: this is intended to be played as a loop using the repeat function recently introduced by Soundcloud. 

Addendum: The looping issue I experienced seems to be an artifact of using Safari initially. Once played in Chrome, the repeat point seems somewhat more consistent. 

This is a bit of a disappointment for me as I adore vinyl lock groove recordings. I would have loved to produce a loop that could be consistently looped on Soundcloud. But the repeat function seems barely useable, and it is definitely NOT operating as a loop should with gapless playback. So, I tried to create a loop that leant itself to the random periodicity between playbacks on Soundcloud. In my testing, gaps anywhere from one to ten seconds seem to occur. I found such gaps really detracting when listening to other's loops (though the material in the loops was great) so I decided to build some moments of silence into my loop hoping that this would mask the inconsistencies of playback on this platform. I don't think it actually works though. I recontextualized a portion from my most recent composition: https://soundcloud.com/337is/love-abounding-neurorack-sketch-2

Where all sounds were created and processed using EEG data. See www.sound-machines.it/index.php/bi1brainterface/ for more details on the amazing device I used. All outputs of the BI1brainterface were routed to the Shapeshifter, Optomix, and Spring Reverb as control CVs. 

Additional information on this project:

Disquiet Junto Project 0153: Groove Lock
The Assignment: Record a short sound intended to be set on repeat.

SoundCloud recently introduced the ability for a track to be looped on the website. That is, the listener can hit a button (details at disquiet.com/QVvCF) and the track will play over and over. This week’s project will make use of that feature. This week’s project will also, I should note, inform next week’s project. But you can do next week’s without doing this week’s, and vice-versa.

Step 1: Record a short, original piece of music/sound of between roughly 3 and 9 seconds intended to be set on repeat.

Step 2: Upload the finished track to the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud.

Step 3: Listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Length: Your finished work should be between roughly 3 and 9 seconds long.

Deadline: This assignment was made in the evening, California time, on Thursday, December 4, with 11:59pm on the following Monday, December 8, 2014, as the deadline.

Upload: Please when posting your track on SoundCloud, only upload one track for this assignment, and 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: When adding your track to the Disquiet Junto group on Soundcloud.com, please include the term “disquiet0153-groovelock” in the title of your track, and as a tag for your track.

Download: It is preferable that your track is set as downloadable, and that it allows for attributed remixing (i.e., a Creative Commons license permitting non-commercial sharing with attribution).

Love, Abounding (Chopped & Skrewed Loopt Edit) [disquiet0153-groovelock]

Used my own track - Axial - already randomly generated and waiting to come to terms with. Picked up  Steve Moshier's — No Cause for Alarm (disquiet0153-groovelock) - a solid contrast of speed/density and sat well harmonically. Stacked the loops in PC sequencer, with some re-pitching into bass and scattering into higher registers. Braided a long echoing software synth across to hold it all together and mimic Steve's voicing.

Spoiled for choice with so many great samples ... used a couple more as meat for effects/filters and sprinkled them through. Thanks to:

The Assignment: Create a track from two locked grooves.

This week’s Disquiet Junto project builds on last week’s. Last week, 67 different musicians uploaded as many locked grooves. This week we’ll make new music atop the locked grooves. Here are the steps. Note that there are some options:

Step 1: Choose two locked grooves from the set at http://goo.gl/0s4WmM. You can accomplish this in several ways. You can choose random numbers between 1 and 67 and use those tracks, or you can just select the tracks you most want to work with. Note that most of the tracks should be set to allow, via Creative Commons, for non-commercial re-use. However, if you aren’t sure, please contact the musician to confirm.

Step 2: Make a new track alternating the two locked grooves for between one and two minutes.

Step 3: Use the track that resulted from step 2 as the foundation for a new piece of music. Transform it as you desire, which might include altering the foundational track and adding new material atop it.

Step 4: Upload the finished track to the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud.

Step 5: Listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Length: Your finished work should be between roughly 1 and 2 minutes long.

Finale

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.
