Disquiet Junto Project 0720: One from Two
The Assignment: Combine a pair of your recent tracks.

Step 1: You just recognized something. Two tracks you’ve been working on but haven’t finished would work better if you turned them into one single track.

Step 2: Choose two of your recent works-in-progress.

Step 3: Combine — by whatever means you see fit to employ — the two tracks from Step 2 into a single track.

Deadline: Monday, October 20, 2025, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.

Come On, It's Just Over the Next Hill

you know the game - it's called naviar records haiku challenge ;)

half-asleep eyes
open to a dreamlike world
of blossoms

       -Natsume Seibi-

dreamlike blossoms

A slow, laid-back funk groove with jazzy sax, clavinet, deep fender jazz bass, and abstract synth textures.
Smooth, atmospheric, and slightly cinematic — the kind of track that lives between a modal jam and a chill-out or lounge beat.

Performed by DD - clavinet, electric bass, abstract synth, drum program.
With Miguel Yanover - Tenor saxophone

Golpe de Suerte - disquiet0720

I found two tracks, each named by the default naming protocol of my recorder. So one file was poetically name "240315_001" and the other, even more evocatively, "241212_0001." The first is a sparse piece using just the wing pinger, with almost as much space as sound. The second is equally restrained, but darker and more properly ambient. I can't recall how I created that track or what instruments were used. The two tracks seem to complement one another with each filling in the empty spaces of the other. Minimal effects were added in Logic - mainly just some reverb with motion algorithms. For fun, I asked Chat GPT to use the two numbers to create a title and image for the track and among the suggestions was "Voltage Bloom," which seems rather fitting.

Disquiet Junto prompt 0720 asked us to take two separate works in progress and realize that they work better together. 

My WIP drawer is pretty full but I couldn't easily find two pieces that wanted to talk to one another. Finally I took several recent piano sketches and dumped all of their MIDI performance data into a single project in Logic. I tend to record left and right hand parts separately to facilitate revoicing, so I had a good collection of chunks to play with. I started stacking, rearranging, muting, soloing, and transposing different combinations of parts until I found a pair that sounded interesting. I ended up doing very minimal editing to stitch them together, and the two parts are not even in the same key, but I think that the tension and dissonance work somehow. 

Finally I wrapped the whole thing in a little pastiche of two friends sitting at a piano having fun gluing the pieces of a song together.

POOLcast 005 - Sven Laux

Sven Laux is part of a modest faction of producers that have been faithfully progressing the evolution of micro composition. Born in Neubrandenburg, Germany, Laux started writing electronic music in 1998 after discovering a talent for meticulously sampling and looping audio.

His unique take on music making has him sharing the company of artisans like Pheek, Ezekiel Honig and Marc Neyen. Laux has become notorious for manipulating foundsounds and employing layers of field recordings in his work. In a discography that stretches back to 2006, there remains a prevalent underlying passion for the obscure. His signature sound has earned a wealth of international support on innovative imprints like Microcosm Music, 31337 Records, Archipel, Dewtone Recordings, Sleep Is Commercial and Unfoundsound.

In the last years Laux dived deeper into cinematic sounds, ambient, experimental sound desgin and soundtracks. So it happened that he starts his own label ‘Seasides On Postcards”. Therefore we are very proud that he gives us a glimpse of his future vision in music. His POOLcast is an exciting journey throught movie scores and experimental ‘Maschinen’ - music.

Lay back.
