last weekend, I recorded some outdoor sessions with soma cosmos, OP-1 & guitar
then i read marc's assignment today
I thought that's exactly what it is

it's a three part track, each part for me and my little brothers above me

autumnal decomposition

Taking Satie's use of short repetitions, I went outdoors, in the London rain, to the bar close by where I live. There is an indoors dressing table with plants growing out of it on the street (pictured) and I recorded 20 second clips tapping and wiping the rain off the surfaces. I then cut these into shorter clips and repeated to make a rhythm, and took a tiny clip and stretched it out long so as the overtones are foregrounded.

And this is my response to this wee's Disquiet Junto prompt. More on this 566th weekly Disquiet Junto project – Outdoor Furniture Music (The Assignment: Imagine the ur-ambient Erik Satie musique d’ameublement concept en plein air) – at: https://disquiet.com/0566/

musique of wet outdoor furniture  (disquiet0566)

This piece was created from materials created by a recorded improvisation of @stellato-strings playing violin and me on the piano. It's this week's response to the @naviar-records weekly Haiku challenge:

Icarus
the pelican hovers
mid flight

We discovered Kimberly’s writings on Twitter. If you find the haiku we chose inspiring, make sure you explore her Twitter profile for more evocative poems.

“I am blessed to live by the sea. This informs a lot of my ‘ku. I also try to write honestly about my struggles with depression. Not sure how successful I am on that topic. It’s hard. The nature poems come easier. I began writing haiku about four years ago. I try to write daily, giving myself Sundays & holidays off. ‘Ku is a kind of discipline for me—much like a daily walk or yoga practice. Haiku quite simply saved my life.”

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

Deadline: 16th November 2022

Disquiet Junto Project 0572: Rhythm Kit
The Assignment: Make a beat that someone else will add to.

Note: This project is the first of a two-parter. You don’t need to participate in both, and you can easily participate in the second one (next week) even if you don’t participate in the first one.

Instruction: Record a beat with the intension that someone other than yourself will add something to it at a later date. It’s preferable that you record something that lasts between one and three minutes, but it’s also fine to record something shorter with the intention that someone will loop it — or something longer, for that matter.

Track notes:

I always like when one of the more beat-oriented prompts comes up because it gets me to think about rhythm tools, which I'm fairly inconsistent with. 

I thought I would would use my modular synth to generate the beat starting with a trio of samplers triggered by dividing and multiplying clock dividers. The resulting three samples are then routed through some signal manipulation: a wasp filter, stereo delay and Make Noise Morphagene. I also had some fun with a sample and hold which controls the pitch CV of one of the samples.

And now for something completely different...

After a frustrating session lost to a crashing computer DAW, I decided to power up my Roland System 100m tribute modular. Started with a train chuff, the LFO controlling the speed. This same LFO also controlled an external TB-303 and the gate for the envelope for the oscillator (the Pong video game like sound). Another LFO controlling the envelope for the filter and the ring modulator carrier. Some spring reverb, ring modulator and analog bucket brigade delay later and we have a soundscape.
