Disquiet Junto Project 0545: Unself-Awareness<
The Assignment: Learn from feedback intended for others.

Step 1: This project builds on the previous one, but you needn’t have participated in project 0544 to do 0545. In project 0544, participants posted tracks for which they wanted feedback from other participants. Familiarize yourself with the discussion here:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0544-feedback-loop/

Step 2: Pay particular attention to the feedback provided in the comments as the discussion thread proceeds.

Step 3: Choose one bit of feedback, and think about how you might apply it to your own music.

Step 4: Create or make a new track that benefits from what you learned in Step 3.

Step 5: Consider providing feedback to other people’s tracks.

Note: The Lines BBS runs on a discussion platform called Discourse, which has some built-in restrictions. Among these is that you can’t reply too many times to the same thread before someone else replies first. This is a “consecutive replies” matter. The best practice is to compile feedback to multiple tracks, and to tag reach recipient in one reply. If those instructions aren’t clear, just wait a little while after tracks begin to appear on the thread. Soon enough you’ll see examples of people doing exactly this.

Lyrics / copyright jo richter:
concatenandus - (on the meaning of wind generators in fashion photography)

she kept wondering about all those photographs
that show flowing hair and wide, wind-swept robes
until she understood: those ropes connect halves
of a self that's caught and its dasein-based scopes

what is my real size if it's not epidermical skin?
the reach of my voice? my status, hierarchical clout?
my environmental footprints, global, within?
my life's agenda? some will being lived out?

what is my true reach into psyche, space, time?
which pasts do shape my tribulations and loves?
she thought of herself as a poor poet's rhyme,
as a reflection of life in a stock photograph.

a stranger wave of understanding hit her
when she unfolded into the moment -
she was not singled out, her whole world was with her
she was connected in a well-worn arrangement

of events manifest: she yelled out with joy:
birds nest in my hair, my feet walk the ground
this self tried to bind me, this gravitational ploy
but beyond all that hassle, spins a world that is round

Open for collaboration: Concatenandus - on the meaning of wind generators in fashion photography

Autumn's Flow * Anomon & Elliot

Thank you to everyone who listened to this track at the beginning of the new year.
People are surrounded by happiness.
Everything is made with a smile.
The energy of laughter, the vibration of a laughing voice, the world begins to fill with smiles.
Nice, I imagined your smile and played the guitar.

Smile is like that of an Angel's

aquatic groove

Echoes linger in empty halls, unfolding into textures of velvet and fire that expand into visions of crowns, thrones, and eclipses. The music moves like a mirage, majestic yet fragile, transporting the listener from the shadows to a horizon of opaline light. Each piece combines splendor and silence until dissolving into a prism of dawn, a final flash of serenity suspended between memory and infinity.

Empty Rooms

This track immerses you in a serene Martian soundscape, where clean red planet winds whisper over pristine desert landscapes. Ethereal pads and a gentle lo-fi beat evoke modern colony vibes and planetary meditation, inviting terraforming consciousness under crystal clear dual moons.

"Spiral Types Of Space" by D'ark Tha Murky

The tares

She has long fingers and sharp nails.
with which he seduces order
before ripping out her spine
And poison their eyes with a new love

Laugh like a child
spoiled by violence.

Invisibly lurks pending its prey,
and when you are calmer,
when his presence is more unusual,
appears stealing the limelight
of everything that surrounds him.

He takes out his cello from its red sleeve.
He plays Irish tours until his fingers bleed.

The public ends up crazy for not understanding anything.

When you talk about destiny, shut up !!,

The Tares

'Thank you very much.' For everything, especially Blink Twice's 'Ark Dambient' providing such ripe, inspiration fodder for the imagination. Asensory takes the the castling of dark ambient, so brilliantly painted by Blink Twice and food-processes it with the smog of life in 2020. Dark Ambient is, first and foremost, about DARK.

Small Electric Piece

A place for sound freaks lashing out from the dark. 

So there's all kinds of stuff on this page, but after months of schizophrenic debates about who was playing with who and who took the lead while doing it, finally, the decision was made: all my alter egos got together and decided to form a band. From 2020 on new tracks are created under the moniker Gruppo Infernal. Only pure MMTJ tracks will still be named as such. 

Gruppo Infernal still relies on my work as Me, my Thumb and Jack, an ongoing quest for a liberating approach to sound creation where the human body acts as an oscillator amplifying the natural 50hz hum. Direct live recording, improvisations and delay loops only using analog filters and effects. No editing, no overdubs. Gruppo Infernal adds digital treatment to this original sound material. 

UnterPitch was an alter ego using samples & synths.
Bleached Coffins was a one-off project using guitars.

earliest work when I was still a pup:
https://blindsightrecords.bandcamp.com/album/throbbing-flip-out

Minimal/contemporary improvising, playing piano and sax, electronics. Combining acoustic and electronic approaches. Working with poetry, theatre, soundtracks.
