Decided to keep this weeks Junto simple, so I recorded three instances of switching on / off 
First sound to be heard is my ceiling fan
2nd. is my electric kettle 
3rd. is the on off switch on my electric piano 
Duplicated each sound onto two different tracks panned each hard L & R timestreched one side of each "stereo" image slightly to create a phase shift kinda beat...then I thought of Mandela and wanted to create an uprising towards the end, so I duplicated everything a couple of times and displaced the new tracks a little more with long fades....to let the whole thing end with just two beats - it all falls back to the beginning... coming and going on your own.


Disquiet Junto Project 0101: Analog Binary

Record the audio of three objects in your home or workplace that have on/off switches. Capture the unique sound of them being turned on and off. For each of the switches, record several seconds of this on/off action so you can create loops of a steady pace. Then create an original piece of music that employs phase shifts — that is, in which the tiny distinctions between loops create noticeable patterning as time progresses. You can use some light processing, but the sense of "switch-ness" of the source audio should never be lost.

Deadline: Monday, December 9, 2013, at 11:59pm wherever you are.

Length: Your track’s length should be between two and five minutes.

Information: Please when posting your track on SoundCloud, include a description of your process in planning, composing, and recording it. This description is an essential element of the communicative process inherent in the Disquiet Junto.

A philosopher by training, Sylvain Poitras explores circularity and self-reference in the fields of video, comics and electroacoustic music: that he uses images, words or sounds, he primarily seeks to blur the boundaries between the object and its designation. Software designer and trombonist, it was only natural that he invented the "meta-trombone", a sophisticated processing system which curiously leads him to the origins of free jazz.

Multi-instrumentalist and music explorer...er...back from a long expedition! Never get banished to an island full of clarinets and other people, presumably some are clarinetists plucked from rehearsals. Some jerk will want to make a clarinet flare exhibition for passing aircraft, SOS and the likes. Many people with wooden clarinets will have broken hearts. They will, instead, whistle. At which point...get off of the island!!! Hopefully your coordinates are already known by a large ship full of friends who like food similar to your favorite foods and are aware of all allergies. 
(Musically, I will have compensated for this typed intro by some point if you leave some on and forget all about them having been on, awhile later. Since you are probably already on Clarinet Island.  Some tracks are a direct antidote to Island Clarinet Carbons Sickness of the Upper Ankle.

I began making noise music back in 2004, when living in an apartment in Brunswick, Maine. My neighbors complained about my punk band practicing there, so I switched my focus to editing audio with Windows sound recorder. My first few albums, consisted of nothing more than layering, reversing, changing speed, and adding echo to recordings I made with a computer mic.

Since then I have switched to slightly more sophisticated DAW, and have adapted my work to live applications. My focus has centered more on ambient and drone music, incorporating the bass guitar and kitchen utensils (most notably the whisk). But I continue to layer and patch these pieces into sound collages. 

Over the years I have branched out to playing more shows, including an east coast tour, and some Northeast festivals (Xfest and Frantasia). I have worked with a number of labels including Forever Escaping Boredom, Genetic Tapes, and Classwar Karaoke. I am proud to have shared bills with id m theft able, Crank Sturgeon, Tashi Dorji, Jaap Blonk and many more. 
I now live in central Vermont with my partner Stephanie and daughter Amelie.
