This is a cool place to arrive at with this. I like the art, too!

The source of the chord is the piece “Organ²/ASLSP” by John Cage, to be played “As Slow As Possible.” Currently it is being performed in Halberstadt, Germany, on a special organ that will play it for a total of 639 years. Read up here:

Disquiet Junto Project 0628: Alchemical Brothers
The Assignment: Explore an aspect of the ancient occult science using music.

I tried to work with 3 samples here, which where all separated by frequency into a bigger number of tracks (like the highs and lows of the sequencer), and all of them got transformed to be far away from the original. The rest was more of a gut feeling.

disquiet0636 - Mallard Drone

I used Tristan Louth-Robins  (@red_robin) guitar track as a basis for this.

I added electric bass, playing a quite standard bass line and some harmonics.

This still sounds like a "basic track", hope somebody has an idea to complete this next week.
This collaboration between two austral guys is called Australopithecus.

I did alter the original to suit my taste, I added an intro (copy paste form the original's first bars) 'cause Tristan's track started a bit abruptly. And then added the coda using an Ecophlex tape delay simulation. My best contribution to the track  if you ask me.
So , yeah, I didn't follow rule number 3 "When composing and recording your part, don’t alter the original piece of music at all" so shoot me!

Epochs (2 of 3) (disquiet0637) w/Tristan Louth-Robins

Wordless
all day long
the shadow of a butterfly
 

Hōsai graduated from the Tokyo Imperial University, where he studied law. He got off to a good start but decided to give up his home, family, and business to jump from one militant religion of Japan to the other.

Just like Taneda Santoka, Hōsai abandoned the traditional verse form of his time and mostly looked at the austere confines of his life for inspiration.

Part 3, the final step in the Disquiet Junto asynchronous collaboration series!

I decided to pick up where "Do Androids Dream of Sleep" by Fake Genius and undermulden left off (https://soundcloud.com/undermulden/fakeg3nius-undermulden-do-androids-dream-of-sleep-2-of-3-disquiet0637?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0637). There was plenty of tension and activity and a strong sense of space in what they'd done. There was an almost foley-like acousmatic quality to what undermulden had brought in to Fake Genius's ethereal setting. I didn't hear anything that was missing musically, so I reached way deep into the Internet Archive to source some spoken audio for samples.

undermulden had commented that there was a lullaby-like quality to what Fake Genius had done, and that gave me the inspiration to go digging for children's books. I found 30 minutes of audio, "A Child's World of Sounds", archived from a 1963 LP. I listened to the Part 2 music on repeat while I scrubbed through the audio, grabbing samples that fit the mood. I did some processing on them and then imported them into Logic to arrange. I took a sort of refrigerator-magnet-poetry approach until the samples fit together and worked with the other material. I think it came together nicely.

Can You Hear a Falling Star? (with Fake Genius and Undermulden) (disquiet0638)

Un tema compuesto por encargo del dramaturgo José Sanchís Sinisterra para su obra teatral "El lugar donde rezan las putas"
Se debía interpretar en el final en vivo por los propios actores con una ocarina y un martillo.
Finalmente se sustituyó por otro tema.

Pasillo sencillo para José

Artist and non-musician making visionary sound art with found objects.

I collect litter and make small scale sonic sculptures and rudimentary instruments. When I play them I’m thinking of natural rhythms like the wind in the trees or animal movements.
