**Production Notes**

Over the years, I’ve worked in different offices. Most of them were nice, some bad; all of the were too noisy. As I need to focus, working with headphones and unintrusive ambience music, played at low volume, has become a must. Some years ago, I started to do my own ambiences and drones, not for my listening pleasure, but as „thinking music“.

The underlying drone you hear was done last week. The original is half an hour of pretty much „nothing“ (as in „keep working, nothing to listen here“).

As much as I enjoy the „autofocus“ mode these drones put me into, they put most listeners to the test. So if I add something to my drone environment, it either is too melodic, too per- cussive or outright wrong. For this piece, it took me four hours to get some sounds I though would have the right balance.

Used AAS Chromaphone, Elektron Analog Keys, some Reaktor ensembles, the amazing Madrona Labs Aalto (must have!) and even an old ambience from Generator (pre Reaktor) from 2002.
Oh, and the name came from a now defunct web name generator.

Disquiet Junto Project 0240: Emerging from a Drone

The Assignment: Compose a piece of music in which a drone slowly, imperceptibly, gives way to something rhythmic and/or melodic.
Please note the new instructions below, in light of SoundCloud closing down its Groups functionality.

Big picture: One thing arising from the loss of the Groups functionality is the goal that an account on SoundCloud is not necessary for Disquiet Junto project participation. The aspi- ration is for the Junto to become platform-agnostic.
￼
Project Steps:

Step 1: Record a short drone, something that suggests stasis, timelessness, something that could play forever and feel like it never substantially changes.

Step 2: Create a piece of music that slowly emerges from that drone. More to the point, cre- ate a piece of music for which the drone is the beginning — a drone that slowly, impercepti- bly, gives way to something rhythmic or melodic or both.

Six More Important Steps When Your Track Is Done :

Step 1: Per the instructions below, be sure to include “disquiet0240” in the name of your track.

Step 2: Upload your track. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your track. It is also helpful that you are a member of the discussion boards at llllllll.co.

Step 3: Add your track to the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud (this specific task will continue until the August 22 sunsetting of that service). The group is here:
https://soundcloud.com/groups/disquiet-junto/

Step 4: This is a new task, if you’ve done a Junto project previously. In the following discus- sion thread at llllllll.co post your track:
http://llllllll.co/t/music-that-emerges-from-a-drone-disquiet-junto-project-0240/4027 

Step 5: Annotate your track with a brief explanation of your approach and process.

Step 6: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto par- ticipants.

Deadline: This project was posted in the evening, California time, on Thursday, August 4, 2016, with a deadline of 11:59pm wherever you are on Monday, August 8, 2016.

Length: The length is up to you. Between one and four minutes seems about right. (...)

Medium” arrives as the first non-studio based production by emptyset, recorded on location in the remote Woodchester Mansion in Gloucestershire UK. The collection of tracks explores the duo’s preoccupations with the elemental properties of sound and bare rhythmic structures and overlays it onto the textural possibilities
of space and material. The project marks their first act of adapting their analogue
based studio system into an architectural intervention, pushing extreme bass and
feedback into the irregular spaces of the unfinished building. The rural mansion, which remains an incomplete remnant of the gothic revival and a place studied by
both architectural researchers and psychic investigators, provides a rich source of
texture as the sparse palette of sine waves and noise is adorned with the intricate details of the space. Medium emerges as an act of translation remodeling the
house through sonic impulses into a state of audio, a fluid transformative gesture
and a process mirroring the sonar impulses of the bats residing within
Woodchester's rooftop sanctuary.


￼￼The project, supported by the Woodchester Mansion Trust, was provided technical support by the renowned Bristol based sound engineer Mat Sampson who managed the array of vintage microphones and preamps distributed within the building along with the central monophonic sound system.

“Medium” will be released March 19th, 2012 on Subtext Recordings based at Multiverse in Bristol. It follows on from emptyset's second LP Demiurge, Roly Porter's landmark Aftertime album and a live recording by Paul Jebanasam.
