The Assignment: Use a building as a filter.

Step 1: You’re going to use a wall in a building, perhaps your workplace or residence, as a filter. Consider these instructions carefully before selecting the appropriate wall. Some trial and error may be required.

Step 2: You’re going to record a track in which the rhythmic element is heard through a wall. That is: you’ll record the rhythm track, and then play it loud from another room (or outside), and record what it sounds like as separated by a wall. Choose a wall.

Step 3: Record the rhythm, track.

Step 4: Re-record the rhythm track from Step 3 by playing it on one side of a wall and recording from the other side of that wall.

Step 5: Record a piece of music using the recording from Step 4 as the foundational rhythm track.

Eight Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0583” (no spaces or quotation marks) in the name of your tracks.

Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag “disquiet0583” (no spaces or quotation marks). If you’re posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to subsequent location of tracks for the creation of a project playlist.

Step 3: Upload your tracks. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your tracks.

Step 4: Post your track in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0583-wall-to-wall/

Step 5: Annotate your track with a brief explanation of your approach and process.

Step 6: If posting on social media, please consider using the hashtag #DisquietJunto so fellow participants are more likely to locate your communication.

Step 7: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Step 8: Also join in the discussion on the Disquiet Junto Slack. Send your email address to marc@disquiet.com for Slack inclusion.

Note: Please post one track for this weekly Junto project. If you choose to post more than one, and do so on SoundCloud, please let me know which you’d like added to the playlist. Thanks.

Deadline: Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, March 6, 2023, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, March 2, 2023.

Upload: When participating in this project, be sure to include a description of your process in planning, composing, and recording it. This description is an essential element of the communicative process inherent in the Disquiet Junto. Photos, video, and lists of equipment are always appreciated.

I did a drone as I used to, and then I detuned it a little bit.

shore of my childhood - Naviarhaiku 484

I really like the track that was produced by @glitcher, Nobody's Home.  And then the atmosphere added perfectly from @Sinny made Somebody's Home an irresistible track to add to.  So I tried to add some guitar on the left channel and some synth on top without drowning out the clicks and buzzing that makes a home a home and called it Never Alone.  Some compression was required for this, however and I hope the result is satisfactory to the two artists I have borrowed from.

A second contribution to this project. I downloaded the track by OhWell & halF unusual (https://soundcloud.com/half-unusual/half-better-disquiet0592-collaboration-with-ohwell?), & added some extra electronic noise.

All Better - with OhWell & halF unusual (disquiet0593)

his was my contribution for part 3:  Disquiet Junto Project 0593 :The Charm
Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0593 discussion thread:
Another round of great submissions this week. I ended up using @rabmusiclab "Sea Fish Swarm" which, like Hugh's track above, also included the cool track by @beto from part one. 

For me, the combo track had an early 2000s EDM vibe, so I added a retro style synth melody using Baby Audio's BA-1 soft synth in Ableton Live. Seems like this could be built upon even further with additional tracks and effects. I had fun with this, seems like everyone else had a good time participating as well.

Charmer Deluxe [disquiet0593]

I stayed up a little late than I meant to, but here's a quick write up - this week's prompt was to add the third part of a trio.

I can not find the creator of the track I downloaded! Sorry.

Anyway, the source material was a short guitar improv over processed sounds, so I added some organ improv to go along with it.

I tried to go for the vibe of a trippy 70's jam session...
