Disquiet Junto Project 0578: Rabbit Spirit Ally
The Assignment: Make music for Lunar New Year.

Step 1: Note that this year’s Chinese zodiac animal is the rabbit.

Step 2: Take the rabbit as your temporary musical spirit ally, and make music inspired by it. (Alternately, choose the Chinese zodiac animal of your birth year.)

Eight Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0578” (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 “disquiet0578” (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-0578-rabbit-spirit-ally/

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.

Additional Details:

Length: The length is up to you. No animals should be harmed in the making inspired by this project.

Deadline: Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, January 30, 2023, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, January 26, 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.

Download: It is always best to set your track as downloadable and allowing for attributed remixing (i.e., a Creative Commons license permitting non-commercial sharing with attribution, allowing for derivatives).

For context, when posting the track online, please be sure to include this following information:

Saunas In Hell (disquiet0583)

this week's response to prompt from Naviar Records.

Summer night
transforms to daybreak.
I count fleas.

Ryōkan Taigu was a Japanese poet and calligrapher who lived during the Edo period. A Buddhist monk who lived much of his life as a hermit, he spent most of his time writing poetry, calligraphy, and communing with nature. His poetry is often very simple and inspired by nature.

Seven days to make music in response to the assigned haiku: to participate visit https://www.naviarrecords.com/about/naviar-haiku

fleas (naviarhaiku479)

How much surf is too much? An overindulgence of aquatic affairs can doubtlessly cause complication. But even in excess, there is a soothing rhythm to the undulations of the waves.

Featuring synthesizers, harp glissandi, female vocals, and an ocean beach.

Surf Surfeit disquiet0588

I took this track by morgulbee
https://soundcloud.com/morgulbee/dos-flores-disquiet0592?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0592
who worked on "Le Nom Des Fleurs" 's track from the previous week.
As suggested by morgulbee I added a funky bass line using a little old pedal from Electro Harmonix called Bass Balls that I bought 15 years ago and used once and then forgot about. It stills sounds pretty weird for an autowah IMHO.

Tres Flores Viejas (with morgulbee & Le Nom Des Fleurs) - 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 very much enjoyed the lush and gentle tones of https://soundcloud.com/equinox-deschanel (Joe McMahon)'s https://soundcloud.com/equinox-deschanel/lonely-pelican-no-more-disquiet0593 (which contains elements of https://soundcloud.com/mikey_a/the-pelican-finds-a-friend-disquiet0592 and https://soundcloud.com/rabmusiclab/the-loneliest-pelican) and thought instantly about how it would sound stretched out, more shoegazey.
i used paulstretch to create a extended noise bed, imported it into ableton, a short edit to trim the beginning and then stretched the original track to match the timing of the noise part.
then i used the warping section to fix the pitch of the stretched track to original pitch
applied lots of fx - reverb for the noise parts and echo to the original, then on the master channel some granular fx by puremagnetic to add a bit of motion and chaos
panned the noise channel hard left and the original wav hard right
tape emulation applied at the end for added texture

Of Pelicans (of sorts)[disquiet0594]

I really admire the direction that @encym took the @noodletwister and @sinnysounds collaboration. I took the three iterations and panned them on Audacity, then used effects and fade. Here's what transpired.
