Disquiet Junto Project 0632: Shear Wind  
The Assignment: Make the most of the disturbance within a field recording.

Step 1: Consider how when making a field recording, there can be disturbances in it, such as a passing car or plane, or a noise you didn’t notice until you listened back, or a malfunction in the recording equipment. A common such problem is wind shear. 

Step 2: Make a recording that has wind shear in it, perhaps by standing in the wind, or recording from a moving vehicle, or through some other technique. Or locate a pre-existing field recording with wind shear, perhaps on freesound.org.

Step 3: Make a piece of music employing the recording you made in Step 2, and make the wind shear a focus of the piece. That is, pay attention to, rather than avoid, this sound that you would likely in other circumstances identify as a shortcoming.

. . .

Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, February_ 2, 2024, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, February 8, 2024.

Naviar Haiku 525

vernal seas…
all day long swelling, falling
swelling, falling
 
One of the four great haiku masters, Yosa Buson studied both Japanese and Chinese poetry. He was also an accomplished painter, and most of his poems were accompanied by paintings, resulting in a more diverse and individual set of works than the one by his main historical influence, Basho.

This haiku was translated by Adam L. Kern.

"Take one held tone and make it dance slowly"

HI, I used a single Saw waveform playing a C note. I made it evolve using the Mod-wheel mapped to filter frequency cutoff and the knobs and faders of my midi controller mapped to tweak filters and LFO in real time.
Recorded two parallel tracks, one tweaking a square waveform LFO1 mapped to "volume" , the second track tweaking a pulse LFO2 mapped to Filter-Cutoff.

It's Only A Saw Waveform (disquiet0631)

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0631: In A Silent Waveform

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0631 discussion thread:

I saw a video a while back of a two module setup using Plaits to create a nice self-oscillating soundscape with nothing patched to any inputs. It was then patched out through Ripples and processed with a DAW using Valhalla reverbs. After reading this week’s description, I decided I wanted to duplicate that setup to see what would happened. This drone is the result after several minutes of fooling around. I tweaked the Timbre and Morph controls slightly on Plaits to create the tone variations. Added Valhalla reverbs in Ableton Live. I can see future experiments using this patch by adding other types of modulation and effects. Here’s the original YouTube link this was based on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2o5SU-5Ikpk

The Assignment: Take one held tone and make it dance slowly.

This one turned out rather odd, uneven, unfinished, ugly. One of those tracks that I might listen to in a couple of months time and really love, or really detest. 
All of the sounds are originate in recordings of me playing duduk. Starting off with a long note that is looped, and then sent through effects chains (one with some granular stuff and feedback, one with rhythmically opening and closing gates, one with a large reverb. 
Recordings of sustained notes and me tapping the body of the flute are chopped and used as percussion/beat with a rhythm in 7/8.
I made a bunch of improvised recordings and then pasted them together to form the final piece.

Not Easy Being Green (disquiet0632)

The prompt for Disquiet Junto 0632, "Shear Wind", instructed us to take that awful wind-blowing-across-the-microphone sound and make it useful.

I live in a notoriously wind-swept city and the weather was cooperative, so I recorded several minutes of wind shear in my back yard with a stereo field recorder. I brought the recording into my DAW on three tracks, one reversed, and executed some glitch maneuvers to make them rhythmic. On top of everything is a Cmaj7 drone using a few layers of custom sampler instruments.

REMEMBER: Headphones are antennae, like an insect's, that pick up the thoughts of the composer.

So Deep In Their Vermilion Dye - #3807 (83R93 Percent 729 Left) By Chair House 240517

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

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.
