Disquiet Junto Project 0261: Audio Journal 2016

Pytchblend

This song was inspired by my brother’s death when all I wanted to do was give up.

Brother’s Grave

Live listening to BBC the radio in bedroom with the MS-20, SQ10, 4000DS.

As I like to say, I make way too much ambient and electronic music and field recordings.  

During 2016 I released under my own name an album of new material ("Breathe In The Winter Air"), 7 compilation albums of older or unreleased pieces, 24 podcasts, and had a track in at least 23 Disquiet Juntos.  

Under one pseudonym I released 25 albums of field recordings and under another pseudonym I released an additional 32 albums of field recordings.

As a side project with a friend under the name "Cannabis Unanimous" I released an album of "slowed and droned" tracks.  Most have slow beats.  Some are ambient/psychedelic.  Some are instrumental and others have lower-pitched spoken word monologues.  We're releasing a 2nd album early in 2017.

I also released 5 albums by my live ambient improv collective "Ambient Matyk" - most of these were recordings done between 2005 and 2013.  Bass guitarist Jon Harnish and I have been recording new material lately and we'll have more releases in 2017.

All of these recordings are on Spotify, Bandcamp, Apple Music, iTunes, Google Play Music, Amazon, etc etc.

As for this collage, it's a blend of things I recorded or released in 2016.  The uptempo electronic tracks are coming out in 2017.

Mark Rushton Audio Journal 2016 (disquiet0261)

This week's Disquiet Junto is the annual 'Journal' - take 12 5-second snippets of sound, one for each month, and cut them together with no overlaps or crossfades. 

My months are:
January: The Air Around The Butterfly - The title is from a poem by Katerina Stoykova Klemer:
“How to Write a Poem / Catch the air / around the butterfly.”
February: If We Believe In Nothing - The title is part of a line from Albert Camus' "The Rebel" - “If we believe in nothing, if nothing has any meaning and if we can affirm no values whatsoever, then everything is possible and nothing has any importance.”
March: Returned To The Aethyr - This was written in response to the death of my old penpal (who gave me the 'one eyed Bob' sticker I use as my logo). I had almost made contact again after a number of years, and really regret losing touch.   
April: Silence Arrives - This was my entry for the Naviar Haiku 118.
May: The Sea Otter - This was my entry for Disquiet 0229 and is the piece of musique concrete I am most happy with.
June: Krell Trio For Synthesized Flute, Trombone and Tuba - My take on the Krell patch by Todd Barton. 
July: Post Migraine Creativity Experiment - Exactly what it says. I get a migraine about once a year, and the three days afterwards are really strange so I tried tapping into my altered mental state. 
August: Synthetic Rain Soundscape - I found a method for creating rain sounds, and ran with it. Learned a lot about synthesis methods and spatialisation using EQ and reverb.
September: One Note Of The Shakuhachi - My entry for Naviar Haiku 142
October: Happy Birthday Steve Reich - Disquiet0249 wishing Steve Reich a happy 80th birthday.
November: Winter's Approach - A wintery synth jam with sequencing and live improv.
December: Tinsel - An attempt to capture the twinkly lights on the tinsel, using a very 80s sound pallete to evoke my own childhood!

2016: A Year In Sound (Disquiet0261)

Disquiet Junto Project 0261: Audio Journal 2016: Create a sonic diary of the past year with a dozen five-second segments

For this I've taken one recording from each month of the year and used the approproate five seconds from the final minute of each (so the final 5 seconds of the last track, the penultimate 5 seconds of the penultimate track, etc.) as follows:

January: Parrots of Abbey Wood (a track created for the Cities and memory project "Dada Sounds")
February: Kitchen Suite (from my album Automatic Writing, written and recorded in February)
March: A first go on my hornet (an optical theremin with granular circuitry)
April: Gymnopedie, an improvisation on cello
May: Picking Up and Putting Down, (Disquiet project 0228, the second one I did)
June: Are You Proud To Be British? (track recorded in the wake of the referendum)
July: Ozymandias (Track created for Cities and Memory project "The Next Station" using field recording of the Emirates Airline Cable Car over the Thames)
August: Field Recording made in Marseille
September: Debut performance by my trio Black Rice
October: Tightrope Walker (actually recorded in December at the final rehearsal before the premiere, but I spent pretty much all of Ocober writing it so I think it's OK to have it here)
November: This Machine Is Ineffective Against Fascists (guitar improv recorded in the wake of the US Presidential Election)
December: When the Robots Take Over We Will All Just Be Glad They Are Not Trump (my last new nusic of 2016)

I'd say Happy New Year, but I think we'll just have to be content to get through this one.

2016 in sound (disquiet0261)

for this audio journal i decided to put the focus on work i did with some great musicians over 2016,as there are: sevenism,Kamikuma,The Quiet One, Rui Bonito,EK4T3,Daniel Diaz,name constant,Morten Jeamland,Yellow Salamand`r ,The Numbers In The Dream.

many thanks for the support to all the Juntonians and Marc.

it has been a very successful year here on SC for me,the last five years i had 1572 plays and i was very pleased and thankful for around twenty thousand something plays this year.

  thank you so much.

unfortunately we had two fatalities in our family and many miserable
things happen to friends this year,so it would have been more kind of
nightmare scenario, like what happened to Paul,our bass player,he got
overrun by a truck while crossing the pedestrian lights.
result, two days in a induced coma,both legs broken,17 screws to get them fixed again and since almost four month in a 	med. convalescent home.

wish all a happy new year.

"::: Payphone - Darryl Lucas (United Kingdom) :::

The sweet melody of mechanical drones having fun with our conscience. Simultaneously dark and charming. Nice work!
- Paul Carpenter, choq. CA

Built by manipulating simple sounds of everyday life, this creation transports us into a parallel sonic world, which in turn plunges us neatly into a sound of everyday life.
- Martin Girard, this is radio-Canada

Well structured until the fall, in almost hypnotic textures and depths.
- Isabelle Perrault, radio dodo

Payphone is a clever metaphor between the hope of a dialogue and a sense of failure of these tools, which, despite advanced technologies, put us in front of an unanswered call.
- Caroline won, Avatar Quebec

You go into the trance, lost in a connection, free from the wire and the earpiece.
-Boris Chassagne, 60 seconds radio

An Ode to telephony. A mute number, but behind him, embusquée, the whole range of emotions ready to pop up: surprise, desire, anger, incrédulité, fear, excitement, boredom, love...
- Marc Jacquin, phonurgia nova

A captivating and abstract work, whose excellent bill and aesthetic simplicity do not prevent the appearance of a sub-text and several degrees of reading.
- Pierre Vedovato, école school"

Based on Joseph Conrad's novel Heart of Darkness. This one-minute musique concrète composition explores the borderline between so-called civilized peoples and those described as savages.
