Insect Menagerie - disquiet0494

A 20 second recording of a fictional insect. The two core sounds were recorded in multiple variations from the modular, then sequenced and randomized on the computer.

What if the military started to build mechanical cicadas, which attack in swarms? What would it sound like?

**Disquiet Junto 494 Weaponized Cicadas**

The Assignment: Record a 20-second clip of the sounds of an insect that you yourself have invented.

This project is the first of three that are being done over the course of as many months in collaboration with the 2021 Musikfestival Bern, which will be held in Switzerland from September 1 through 5 under the motto “schwärme” (“swarm”). For this reason, a German translation is provided below. We are working at the invitation of Tobias Reber, an early Junto participant, who is in charge of the educational activities of the festival. This is the third year in a row that the Junto has collaborated with Musikfestival Bern. Select recordings resulting from these three Disquiet Junto projects will be played and displayed throughout the festival.

There is just one step for this week’s project: Compose the sound of a single imaginary insect. The duration of the recording should be 20 seconds.

Background: There will be public display cases at the festival, and we may set up motion triggers that cause an insect sound to occur when people pass by. We will do so with signage explaining that it documents experimental insect life. The participants whose work is included will be listed by name.

Seven More Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0494” (no spaces or quotation marks) in the name of your tracks.

Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag “disquiet0494” (no spaces or quotation marks). If you’re posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to subsequent location of tracks for the creation of a project playlist.

Step 3: Upload your tracks. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your tracks.

Step 4: Post your tracks in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0494-insect-menagerie/

Step 5: Annotate your tracks with a brief explanation of your approach and process.

Step 6: If posting on social media, please consider using the hashtag #disquietjunto and #musikfestivalbern so fellow participants are more likely to locate your communication.

Step 7: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Weaponized Cicadas [disquiet0486]

this is ¶radio hummingbird’s contribution to this week’s disquiet junto with the serial number 0494. in short, the requirement for this contribution was to create an imaginary sound of an insect.

i utilised a little 100hp eurorack system to inter-mangle three different oscillators and process and mix the results in a slight fashion. furthermore, the field kit operated a little solenoid along with the chirps i created for additional clicks which i fed straight back into the modular synthesizer for filtering. nothing else.

a daw or computers were only used for a little mastering in ableton live. easy.

please enjoy and listen loud.
:)

_disquiet0494

Fictional insect synthesis.
'A newly discovered member of the scarab family, Eriolatus allostridor (‘woolly-sided and stridulating strangely’) is a beetle notable particularly for the dense bristles clustered around its lateral spiracles; these bristles are used for defensive stridulation. Moreover, it is believed that rhythmic, spiracular ejection of air is partly responsible for the peculiar ‘modulations’ audible in this insect’s stridulatory performance.'

One oscillator (Mungo w0) playing back a custom waveform and subjected to v/oct and FM from a looping envelope (Cosmotronic Delta-V) and NLC ARSEq into GENiE. Mixed in NLC Clump, including a copy sent through NLC 329 Phase/Flange, with VCA envelopes sequenced from a Gotharman’s Little DeFormer 3 mkII. Mixed in Ableton with a window field recording.

Due to a special foot material, this insect collects static charge while moving around and therefore has to discharge its body very frequently, leading to tiny flashes whenever it touches something.

Ambulantes electricus [disquiet0494]

This track is part of the Disquiet Junto #0501

The Assignment: Record the sound of a Martian daydream, interrupted.

Step 1: Early on in the Philip K. Dick short story “We Can Remember It for You Wholesale,” a man name Quail has a daydream interrupted. He dreams of visiting Mars, but then reality intrudes: “the daylight, the mundane noise of his wife now brushing her hair before the bedroom mirror — everything conspired to remind him of what he was.” As the reader will learn, Quail has in fact already visited Mars, subsequent to which his mind was wiped free of the visit. His daydream at the start of the story is as much a remnant memory as it is a wish to be fulfilled. Keep this scenario in mind, and maybe read the short story.

Step 2: Record the sound of some realistic-feeling alien landscape, perhaps Martian, and then at the very end of the recording have real-world sounds appear to break the spell.
