Great micro poly rhythms! (btw - I don't think I saw it on Disquiet Junto SC, perhaps it wasn't shared to the group?)

Disquiet Junto Project 0082: Minimal Haydn

I wanted to be as true to the genre and to the assignment as possible. I went with out a beat for that reason, it was stipulated that we add no other element and I wanted to use this as a challenge. I think it worked pretty well. 
To be true to the genre set my beat to be at 125 bmp, and made great use of repetition, which is something I enjoy anyhow. 
I set out by opening the track in audacity and set it to play in reverse. I chose only three sections and safed each section separatly as ogg vorbis files. I then loaded these up in to the Audiofile Processor in LMMS and added reverb to all the sections. The first part I set to play at a much lower speed and set that as the base beat. The next part I added flanger to. I slowly increased the volume and did the same to the last section till I reached 100% volume. Then I cut the second part and ended the piece abruptly. 
I set out to create something that had enough of the original in to make it hint at Haydn without giving it all away.

Haydn Seek (disquiet0082-minimalhaydn)

The goal of this project was to make a 'minimal techno' track using samples from Franz Haydn’s String Quartet in F Major. Note that I do not believe I achieved this, although the results are interesting.

prolonged exposure [disquiet0082-minimalhaydn]

I was trying to extricate the basic components of the minimal genre, namely kick, snare, soundscapes and then work the silences around it. It came out denser/thicker than I initially intended. Thank you

I deem this a failure. It’s becoming depressing that I don’t have any idea how to create “techno”. This certainly isn’t, and it probably isn’t minimal either. I spent ages hand-crafting a “beat”, and all I got was a lousy pulse.

The rest is me throwing bits of sound around and being careless with effects plugins.

Not that I don’t like it, but I wish I could work out how to use Ableton just once and create something with a beat. Back to the DAW…


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This week’s project is another in a series of explorations of the concept of genre as a constraint. (The “downtempo” exercise went well several weeks ago, project 79, and this is another in that mode.) The genre this time is “minimal techno.” The source material is from another genre entirely: “classical,” specifically chamber music in the form of a string quartet. The goal of this project is to derive elements from the source material in the service of a track that would fit in the prescribed genre.

Haydn Agenda [disquiet0082-minimalhaydn]

Almost all sounds are single wavelets sampled from a string quartet piece by Haydn. The background noise is a much longer section, modulated with pink noise.

Dreampeter - Snakes Eating Snakes | side A

Hey, Nick Youssef here. One year ago (and a few days), I released my very first comedy album. Many of you purchased it either digitally or on vinyl. Many streamed it on Spotify and the like. By now, the majority of people who were going to buy it did, and since an increasing number of people are streaming rather than purchasing these days, I figure I should just give it away. So, here it is: Stop Not Owning This. Free. Click download and it is yours to keep. Forever. I ASK ONE FAVOR: if you do download it, please share it. Spread the free love around. Upload it to torrent sites, make copies and give them to friends, re-post the link that led you here. Anything. I just want it to be heard and appreciated. That's all I ask. Take it for free and give it to someone else for free. That's a pretty good deal I think. Thank you and enjoy. 

BONUS EPISODE! Nick Youssef's 'Stop Not Owning This' For FREE.

A short loop. Phase from one week to another.

Screaming Maldini - Forever Mastered

trouble in the room
trouble back up the wall
are you feeling woozy?
now my eyelid's involved

i can pick and choose
you can give me a call
we can blanket the hall

do you feel the view?
the moon is swallowing stars
sleeping on the news
you know it's travelled too far

i can picture you
in the back of my car

now that i've put you in your place
i can study your face
maybe you can tell me that you love me
we can pick up the pace

or you can give me something good
though i don't need it and you don't know me
why do you feel so lonely?

the sun is chasing you away
but i will stay here 'til it falls
premonitions of the night to follow
after all, our world is small

it's just my intuition
do you believe it? come and join me
you shouldn't feel so lonely

i can see that it hurts to be alone in your bed
i can see that the worst of it is all in your head
when you finally learn to wake with the morning sun
you won't be so lonely

So Lonely

All This I Do for Glory

In the clinches

Ambient 8 9 17

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.
