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.
