truly masterful use of transition (love that app); and tasteful use of freesound samples.  excellent piece!

This track is a tribute to Dave Brubeck's recording of "Take Five" and - following the Disquiet Junto Project 540 - reclaims the 4th of May (5/4) for the 5/4 beat.

This Musical Bots track was again created with the generative MIDI sequencer Transition (free VST-plugin available at www.codefn42.com/transition/index.html), All instruments were played by groups of bots in different configurations for the separate sections of this piece, the assigned randomness honoures the improvisation found in Jazz.

I would like to say a big thank you to @klankbeeld for his great field-recordings provided on freesound. I used the following recordings:
Tram-ride (cut):  https://freesound.org/people/klankbeeld/sounds/191452/

Church-Bells (pitched and time-warped) https://freesound.org/people/klankbeeld/sounds/466053/

The Musical Bots Take The Tram № Five (Disquiet0540)

Samples of bubbles with filter processing and additional rhythm on the Serge modular. Choir and Ebow guiar.

Bubblicious X disquiet0642

Our prompt for Disquiet Junto #0642 was, loosely interpreted, to make something percussive from the sound of carbonation.

I broke out my stereo field recorder and sat down with a bottle of Sprite and a wine glass. I recorded various sounds from opening the bottle to pouring it, bubbles in crescendo and a bizarre but almost indiscernible tinkling sound of the soda in the wine glass from very close up.

I found the opening-the-bottle sample the most percussive, so I set to work on making it into a loop. It sounds a bit like Slender Fungus to me, but I like it. I added a few low-key layers for additional percussion, played a David J style bass part, and some very light electric piano to round things out.

Meanwhile, the script idea was percolating. I recalled how much fun I had with "Making Ice at Home May Seem Overwhelming" (https://soundcloud.com/coralineada/making-ice-at-home-may-seem-overwhelming-disquiet0627) and decided to do another absurd synthesized voiceover— this time, warning against the evils of soda pop.

Please enjoy "Diet Spite" with headphones that you know and trust.

Recorded at NOSIGNAL Multimedia Labs in The Shambles, Chicago USA.

Aside from the voice over from an old commercial, the sounds are entirely from the process of filling a soda stream bottle and then pouring myself a drink. I sampled the audio directly to my Polyend tracker and then subjected them a Steve Reich inspired clapping algorithm on the Zoia.  I resisted the temptation to add anything else for reasons that are not entirely clear to me. Perhaps I just liked the purity of the fizzy sounds.

[Disquiet_Junto_0642] Hopping Clang Clack

This was made for the disquiet junti 0642 with the assignment: Use carbonation to make a beat. I recorded the sound of opening some beer and soda bottles, pitched one of them down to create a kickdrum an dloded then all in Nysthi's QuadSimpler. In search of an appropriate melody, I borrowed the famous drinking song from Siegmund Romberg's operetta The Student Prince and converted it into 4/4 beat. And then added a bass.
