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

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.

. . .

Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, December 26, 2022, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, December 22, 2022.

Disquiet Junto Projects 2022

This is a personal review of the year 2021 - consisting of twelve short musical sections, one per month. The sections were each cut from a RabMusicLab track released in the corresponding month. The tracks were chosen upon their personal or musical importance.

The picture is intended to show a symbol for the passage of time:
It is inspired by the "chronopteric birds" featured in the series of graphic novels "Azimut" by Wilfrid Lupano and Jean-Baptiste Andreae. According to the publisher this is an "incredible Terry Gilliam-esque fantasy tale" and has Time as one of its main subjects.
The photograph shows one of the metal water-spouting birds in the garden of Schwetzingen palace which remind me of these time-related animals in the graphic novel.

Sonic Diary 2021 (Disquiet0522)

This track was inspired by the Disquiet Junto Project 0522: Record the sound of ice in a glass and make something with it.
All sounds were created from the recording of an ice-cube rattling in five different glasses. The inspiration led to this piece, trying to find out how eternal ice sounds.

The Eternal Ice (Disquiet0523)

This piece of music is built on the track https://soundcloud.com/fnubi/cameo-unfinished-disquiet0525 by @Fnubi following the Disquiet Junto project 0526 (details below).
It was inspired by a concert of the lautten compagney Berlin playing arias of Johann Philipp Krieger in the rococo theatre of Schwetzingen Palace. The title of the track (english translation "hope delights the sad mind") is a quote from the aria "Hoffnung ernähret die liebenden Herzen" by Krieger.

Ocean Harmonies [Duet with LazenbeeIndustries] (Disquiet0526)

Nightfall

This track is the result of a asynchronous colloboration in the Disquiet Junto (see below) with super secret noise party (pidgin) @user-638188112  and @33per: This piece of music intends to enhance the wonderful atmosphere found in the track https://soundcloud.com/33per/jupiter-and-mars-disquiet0526 by adding more elements to the soundscape.

It is meant as homage to @Sigur-Ros - the title in icelandic meaning "Crying for joy".

On We Go Regardless

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

I liked https://soundcloud.com/tendigits/disquiet0572-rythm-kit by Tendigits and because it seemed to be made completely "by machine" I wanted to add only things without machines/automation. 
So I improvised around five additional tracks of sounds (and tried to leave room for some variation on the original drum track by Tendigits while doing it). In this week I also had field recorded the sound of icicles that I had knocked off the corrugated roof above the bicycle stand in the inner courtyard of my flat (my wife recorded, I knocked of the icicles – they can be seen on the track cover) and somehow felt they would fit as a mysterious element (hence the title) and because there was something like ice rain I heard in the original track (maybe its just me…). Finally I felt something was missing and added a live sung/spoken session of some kind of acoustic nagging to the track, which I edited with a lot of fx and manually painted parameter curves. 
It now feels like a hit.

A great glitchy beat produced in last weeks Junto by @calmnesia I have added some binaural feedback and guitar. Headphones recommended for the binaural sounds.

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.

Squelchy Grains - with Tristan Louth-Robins(disquiet0573)

This week we had to take a rhythm track created by someone else for last weeks junto, and make it into a complete track.  I took a rhythm by @half-unusual  
(https://soundcloud.com/half-unusual/half-kit-disquiet0572-70-bpm)
as it instantly had me jamming on the keys.  This track owes a bit of a debt to Jarre's Last Rhumba which I have been playing a lot lately, but just in terms of a few of the bass and rhythm patterns, which I have gone to town with a bit.
