Disquiet Junto Projects 2023

This track is my contribution to the traditional first Disquiet Junto Project of every year: Record the sound of ice in a glass and make something with it.

All sounds in this track were derived from recording an ice-cube in a champagne-glass and in a whiskey glass.

Love  Melts Ice (Disquiet0575)

This track was created mainly by improvisation. Four different sound layers and their very influential effects were played and mixed in a live session. The piano then was improvised to the drone created beforehand.

Following the Disquiet Junto Project 0576 the drone was divided into two sound parts, and these parts as well as the piano were played and re-recorded in different rooms. The track then was mixed from the three original and their re-recorded stems.

A "drone-only" version without the piano is available at https://soundcloud.com/rabmusiclab/pondering-about-drone-only

Pondering About (Disquiet0576)

Bam & Tawan

This track was inspired by the Disquiet Junto Project (details see below): Build a simple instrument and put it to use.
I chose this old wooden box from my mother's family, but I don't know its history. It would be great if one could wake the forgotten past of such objects...

I recorded four tracks, each time filling the "shaker" with other objects. This tracks were directly used in parallel as drums. Then the composition evolved around this elements...

Réveiller le passé de l'objet (Disquiet0577)

This track was inspired by the Disquiet Junto Project 0578 (details see below): Make music for the year of the rabbit.

Everything started with the inspiring fieldrecording "rabbit drinking" (https://freesound.org/people/BeeProductive/sounds/376187/) kindly provided by BeeProductive on freesound.
I cut that recording into sections ressembling a drum-loop and built everything on top. Drums and bass follow the rabbit's rhythm of drinking, more instruments were added.
A song to celebrate the rabbit - also when drinking water!

Rabbit's Delight (Disquiet0578)

This track is a new version of the track https://soundcloud.com/rabmusiclab/hoffnung-erfreut-den-traurigen-sinn. The intention is to create a new composition that retains the important elements but gives a new listening experience by shifting the focus.

The guitar-part of @Fnubi was replaced by guitar-loops provided by @roeland11 on looperman. The other instruments were adapted to the new harmonics. Some instruments were exchanged, new instruments were added (acoustic guitar, cello, an additional violin).

I owe my thanks to Roeland for providing the following loops used in this track:

An improvised track developed over the background noises of a washing-machine recorded with Sanyo Talkbook dictaphones, replayed at half speed.

This track was inspired by the Disquiet Junto Project 0587 (details see below), which invited to let a composition get out of tune. This unintentionally happened here when the guitars joined in...
