~ Short version of field note: 

A warm late Spring evening at Middle Farm. A hazy light has descended over the dirt track running alongside the Carrickalinga Creek. On my way to this location I had encountered a huge Red Belly Blacksnake sunning itself on the hardened earth. Having almost not seen it up until I came to a halt about a metre from it, it regarded my presence casually before gracefully slinking away into dry grass; almost as if it were levitating slightly above the ground. A remarkable sight.

FKISM: Creek track, Middle Farm (Yankalilla) - November 2020

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

Caterpillar Metamorphosis (naviarhaiku 503)

I extracted 6 parts from an old track of mine. These are initially exposed in sequence, subsequently the processing was done by altering exclusively the speed and duration of each part. The piece from which I extracted the 6 parts was built with csound, the subsequent reworking was also done with csound and then mixed with audacity.

Cigolwas - Disquiet0629

Loveboat At Inner Space

This is an asynchronous duet with https://soundcloud.com/dandante and https://soundcloud.com/blaaroed. 

I really enjoyed the Suborbital Hang Glider piece from @tt16tt and @dandante. I hope they forgive me for making the abstract approach of the drone a bit more tangible. I added a bassline with Generate, some strings with with Blisko Viola, metallic noises from Kinetic Metal, and a simple ping with AAS Chromaphone. The additions sit right in the middle of the mix.

Disquiet Junto Project 0638: Center (3 of 3)
The Assignment: Complete a trio begun by two other musicians.

Step 1: This week’s Disquiet Junto project is the third in a sequence that encourages and rewards asynchronous collaboration. This week you will be adding music to a pre-existing track, which you will source from the previous week’s Junto project (disquiet.com/0637). Note that you are finishing a trio: you’re creating the third part of what two previous musicians began, filling the space between them. Please keep this in mind.

Step 2: The plan is for you to record an original piece of music, on any instrumentation of your choice, as a complement to a pre-existing track. First, however, you must select the piece of music to which you will be adding your own music. There are tracks by numerous musicians to choose from. 

(...)

When choosing a track, consider checking out the two previous projects’ discussion threads, as there may be additional information in them that could be of use, such as BPM or key signature:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0637-right-2-of-3/

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0636-left-1-of-3/

Step 3: Record a piece of music, roughly the length of the piece of music you selected in Step 2. Your track should complement the piece from Step 2, and it should be placed dead center between the left and right stereo channels. When composing and recording your part, do not alter the original piece of music at all. To be clear: the track you upload won’t be your piece of music alone; it will be a combination of the track from Step 2 and yours.

Step 4: Also be sure, when done, to make the finished track downloadable, because it may be used by someone else in a subsequent Junto project.

Step 5:  In normal circumstances, Junto projects have a one-track-per-participant limit. However, as with the preceding project that led up to this one, you can contribute more than one track this week. You can do up to three total this time. For your first, you can choose any track from the duets, no matter how many times others may have employed it. If you choose to do a second or third, you should do a track no on else has used yet (it’s understood that between when you select a duet track and finish your trio, someone else may have popped up and used it, which is perfectly fine). Throughout the project I will keep an updated list in this Google Drive document of what has been utilized:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kDorIMT9j_nQQPXACYpMPe4B86T2QD5Xvv98XAOS4UE/edit?pli=1#gid=0

The goal is for many as people as possible to benefit from the experience of being part of an asynchronous collaboration. That, foremost, is the spirit of this project.

Tasks Upon Completion:

Label: Include “disquiet0638” (no spaces/quotes) in the name of your track.

Upload: Post your track to a public account (SoundCloud preferred but by no means required). 

Share: Post your track and a description explanation at https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0638-center-3-of-3/

Discuss: Listen to and comment on the other tracks.

Length: The length is up to you. Stick close to the length of the track yours adds to.

Deadline: Monday, March 25, 2024, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.

Process notes - 

I first thought of scraping my iPhone against a stone. Then, I free-associated “stone” with “pizza stone” and then “LP.” Right after that I thought to capture some LP surface noise, and came right around to using one of Yoko’s albums…so…not the music but the physical object. I looked around my landlady’s backyard and found a slightly mysterious pile of stones and I was off.

I made 2 sets of four short recordings. Mid-way, I decided to get "elemental" with it, too.

- Two recordings were outdoor "air" recordings, including some dogs.
- One other recording was scraping my iPhone against a stack of stones.
- Indoors, I recorded the kitchen sink (water, and yes everything including the kitchen sink) and also lighting matches I keep for my barbecue (fire).
- The second set of recordings was of the inner groove noise from my copy of Yoko's Fly double album. The last recording included switching briefly to the radio (white noise) and then my own struggling to get the two disks back into the jacket.

For this, I used similar methods, (and an Ableton Live template), I’d used for Disquiet Juntos 0530, 0605, 0606, 0609 & 0616, all which reference “minimally viable music” as we did in 0530, my first Junto. This included many Ableton Live effects devices and some Max for Live devices by Amazing Noises.

For what it is is worth, Junto 0530 also was the genesis of this album - [Something That Once Was (Free)](https://music.blisterpop.com/album/something-that-once-was-free). Eventually, this piece and 0605, 0606, 0609 & 0616 will all be worked into the follow-up.
