Lovely, ethereal piano and ambient vibes over the groove, it's more dreamy and melancholic now, love it.

Really, really nice! Love the way all the delicate elements slowly build over the duration.

Prompt:

"Instruction: Record a beat with the intension that someone other than yourself will add something to it at a later date. It’s preferable that you record something that lasts between one and three minutes, but it’s also fine to record something shorter with the intention that someone will loop it — or something longer, for that matter."

I found this old discarded beat on my computer with not much memory of creating it. According to the file stamp its from November 2020. Think I'd been reading Pynchon's Mason and Dixon around the time which is why its called "Hsi and Ho"

Image came from the prompt: "hsi and ho in a pynchon fever dream" given to Nightcafe

Glitchy Beat (With Modulatia),Guitar & Feedback (disquiet0573)

This track is the result of an asynchronous collaboration with @daniel-diaz for the Disquiet Junto Projects (details below): I tried to embellish his wonderful track https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz/2022wcgroove-disquiet0572 mainly with the addition of piano and harmonium.
According to my wife this is music for letting the world pass by...

Squelchy Grains - with Tristan Louth-Robins(disquiet0573)

The starting point for this collaborative track was a rich-sounding rhythm track full of glitchy textures, dub delays, and dynamic movement, composed by Sternklang for Disquiet 0572.

I added a couple of percussive layers programmed in Ableton, along with a chord I sampled from my modular system, bass tones using Serum, and VST processing to add tape cassette style artifacts and bit reduction textures. My goal was to reinforce some of the implied melody in the original track with the bass, and then reframe the composition with simple chords and a light percussive embellishments. I kept the original track front and center with only minor edits and processing to add inflection points around transitions between parts. 

I hope you enjoy!

Disquiet Junto Project 0573: Float Mode
The Assignment: Add material atop a pre-existing beat to form a complete track.

Note: This week’s project is the second part of a two-parter, following up last week’s, but you don’t need to have participated last week in order to do this one.

Step 1: You will be adding musical elements atop beats created last week by other members of the Disquiet Junto. Select a beat. There are beats from 30 or so musicians in the SoundCloud playlist:

https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0572 7

If you search for the project tag, you’ll find a few extras, I believe, from folks who did more than one:

https://soundcloud.com/search?q=disquiet0572

And there are two Bandcamp and one YouTube tracks in the discussion thread, along with details on many of the other entries:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0572-rhythm-kit/

Step 2: Add material to the beat you selected in Step 1. You can rework the beat if you like, even combine beats, but assuming you have limited time, the focus of your effort should be what you add, not what you do with the pre-existing material.

Step 3: When posting your track, be sure to credit which track(s) you employed as the foundation for your work.

Eight Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0573” (no spaces or quotation marks) in the name of your tracks.

Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag “disquiet0573” (no spaces or quotation marks). If you’re posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to subsequent location of tracks for the creation of a project playlist.

Step 3: Upload your tracks. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your tracks.

Step 4: Post your track in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0573-float-mode/

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

Step 6: If posting on social media, please consider using the hashtag #DisquietJunto so fellow participants are more likely to locate your communication.

Step 7: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Step 8: Also join in the discussion on the Disquiet Junto Slack. Send your email address to marc@disquiet.com for Slack inclusion.

Note: Please post one track for this weekly Junto project. If you choose to post more than one, and do so on SoundCloud, please let me know which you’d like added to the playlist. Thanks.

Additional Details:

Length: The length is up to you. You don’t need to stick with the length of the original beat.

Upload: When participating in this project, be sure to 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. Photos, video, and lists of equipment are always appreciated.

Download: It is always best to set your track as downloadable and allowing for attributed remixing (i.e., a Creative Commons license permitting non-commercial sharing with attribution, allowing for derivatives).

For context, when posting the track online, please be sure to include this following information:

About this contribution: 
I started playing with a few and ultimately ended up working with @SinnySounds "Two Over Three" with its catchy persistent poly-rhythms in 6/8. I layered in some sounds that came out of the same live session as the beat I shared for my Rhythm Kit contribution last week. I wanted some low end drum sounds, so I added @Freeways rhythm kit track "M8@DAFDrum>M8" with it's huge bass sound. There's also some ambient outdoor sound from this: https://freesound.org/people/pcaeldries/sounds/65813/
