Disquiet Junto Project 0606: Three to One 
Compose a piece of music with three times as much silence as sound.

More about this week's Disquiet Junto Project: https://disquiet.com/2023/08/10/disquiet-junto-project-0606-three-to-one/

Process notes: I used a probability gate (Count Modula's Chances module)to block 75% of clocks to the voices, on average over time. I took it as ok to let reverb tails count as silence. The resulting clip was brought into Reaper where I used a limiter on the master channel.

The sound of silence
is all the instruction

Like other “Beat Poets”, Jack Kerouac was attracted to Eastern philosophy, perception, and poetry. Together with Ginsberg and Whalen, he helped “Americanise” the haiku form and introduce it to a wider audience outside of Japan.

“The American Haiku is not exactly the Japanese Haiku. The Japanese Haiku is strictly disciplined to seventeen syllables but since the language structure is different I don’t think American Haikus (short three-line poems intended to be completely packed with Void of Whole) should worry about syllables because American speech is something again…bursting to pop.

Above all, a Haiku must be very simple and free of all poetic trickery and make a little picture and yet be as airy and graceful as a Vivaldi Pastorella.”

(Kerouac)

The Distorted People That I Know (naviarhaiku548)

Guitar improvisation without touching the strings, only the volume poti. The prerequisite is high volume, Marshall JCM 800 and 4x12 Cabinet, line six delay, Overlord overdrive and Ibanez tube screamer, and the willingness to destroy one's ears. And,of course, a Fender Contemporary Strat, white.

Blown Moon Dust

Anti-poem & idea: Peter W
Anti-music: Dong Zhou/Congee Rats

The poem was based on the anti-music produced in Chapter 7 of the Flemish epic in Latin Ysengrimus from the year 1174, verse 116-117.

"Terminat undenis musica nostra tonis; 
armoniam quandoque damus ter quinque modorum"

"Our music has finals in eleven modes,
and sometimes we produce a melody of fifteen intervals"
