Disquiet Junto Project 0694: 5/4ify
The Assignment: Add a beat to a pre-existing piece of music.

There is just one step to this project: Take a pre-existing piece of music that is in 4/4 — either your own or something in the public domain — and add a beat to each measure, transforming it into 5/4.

Deadline: Monday, April 21, 2024, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.

paperweights [naviarhaiku587]

Casually picked up my 2.4 shakuhachi made by Perry Yung and was playing a few tones when I realized my freestanding pianoharp was resonating like crazy. Thus this little experiment. Headphones or good monitors to hear the subtle resonance.

Disquiet Junto Project 0694: 5/4ify
The Assignment: Add a beat to a pre-existing piece of music.

I took this track of mine, released in 2023, and worked through it, editing every sequence / loop so it was in 5/4. I then sped up the tempo so the track is the original length. 

The most interesting thing to me is how similar it feels! I guess a bunch of the rhythmic stuff is fairly similar.

Jet Jaguar - Five Four Ferry Crossing [disquiet0694]

Conceptual, feminist, noisy, terrifying. You probably don't want to listen to it. It could be the exit music for a Dario Argento remake of The Shining.

Disquiet Junto prompt 0694 suggested taking a song that is in 4/4 and adding a beat per measure (5/4).  I knew right off the bat that I wanted to do a glitchy sample thing, so I went diving into the Internet Archive for popular music from before 1926. I came across a really nicely cleaned up 1919 recording of Irving Berlin’s “A Pretty Girl is Like a Melody” sung by John Steel.

The rest just came out like that and it seemed right. It feels like a response to the notion that pretty girls have to be melodic, because we can be noisy and no less pretty for it. So I channeled some punk feminist energy and created a lot of chaos. But I swear, it’s 5/4 under there.

Like a Melody (disquiet0694)

i like how this came out, and plan to integrate it into my slowly expanding project at https://museumofhistoricalmaterials.bandcamp.com

a frantic 5/4 reworking of a 4/4 track i've been working on this week. mellotron via m-tron pro iv. blackhole immersive, ds tantra 2 and imagiro autochroma pad things out in the return channels. at 30s, an ableton percussion rack (EFX Small Cymbals) starts playing out a morse code message: "kaufmann, you scumbag".

CAST OF CHARACTERS:
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — VST orchestration, vocals, lyrics, and composition
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums, percussion
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass, Fender Precison four-string fretted bass, and Roland Phantom synthesizer
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson Custom T model electric guitar
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – VST string arrangement
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar, mix, and production

This song began as a musical letter written, composed, and sung by Carl to Eclectic Collective. We'd been sniffing around each other's pages, admiring each other's work and collaborators. So Carl reached out with this friendly, uplifting song, as a gift to the band. 
Ken was first in line, adding his awesome, driving drums to give us a heartbeat to build upon. Josh came along next and completed the rhythm section with his trusty four-string fretless bass. Stephen was next up to bat, adding his dynamic raspy guitar, which almost sounds like an electrified fiddle. Next up, Mark added the tasteful VST strings arrangement in the second half of Carl's original composition. 
We had it pretty much sounding done, but wanted to spice it up a bit, so we came up with the idea for a coda. Josh added his bass and synth in the closing section, and Tez came up with the thrilling guitar part, as well. Tez also added the thrilling guitar intro, too. 
Once it was in the can, we asked Tez to mix and produce it for us, which he did in his always expert fashion.
This is the first song EC has done with Carl, but we know it won't be the last. We all admire him for his creativity, proficiency, and prolificacy. His page is worth a stroll, too, as it contains a lot of gems.
Thanks again Carl for the wonderful tribute! And as always, we hope folks enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark: 

Hey Collective Seeds,

Let's work things out across that water
There's a cable under sea,
We can send all sorts of...
Music/Words/Sounds - It's insane!
Look Lads,
That's life in the fast lane!

So it's ones and zeros
Mine and yours and theirs
We are all heroes...

Watching the fire,
From a distance we're warm
But not from their mire,
From this musical charm.
It's a bonfire,
An inferno.
Earth got plenty to turn off...

So we can sing to love
And we can play for more dove.
Let's combine our powers. Collective!
A Paddy/Yankee toasted sandwich

Tez festival streak
Psyched for more free
K2 to peak
Mistermark chimes ' found life fought
Give, You Entheogenic Psychonaught
Collective lands
Psyched for more free
