There is just one step to this project: Record a piece of music in 29/16 time.

--
Love this, thanks @bassling and Oscar. Reminds me junto 0529, I went for a 23/8 groove then, now here, as requested a  29/16 pattern, 29 measures of it. Spent the whole Thursday morning on this. 
29/16....tried to make that bastard  groove, and failed magnificently.


I used 6 tracks:
1 Kick track
1 Subdivine Kick/Bass track
4 Tracks of Oberheim's Matrix vst

Cheers

Regarded as the father of contemporary haiku, Masaoka Shiki was a poet and literary critic during the Meiji period Japan.

He advocated realistic observation by “sketching” (shasei) poems and going out into nature with notebooks, thus abandoning the traditional subjects of haiku of the time. His advice for an aspiring poet was, “Use both imaginary pictures and real ones, but prefer the real ones.”

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0665: Clicks + Cuts Music Factory

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0665 discussion thread on Lines:

Although I've heard plenty of glitch inspired electronica through the years, I don't think I've listened to a Clicks + Cuts compilation till now. The tracks gave me a good understanding of what to strive for.  I'm not familiar with Achim Szepanski and Mille Plateaux records, so this has been a nice learning process. Condolences to his loved ones, friends and fans on his untimely passing.

This was created in Ableton Live using a variety of its instruments, samples, and effects – along with Max for Live devices, Slate + Ash Choreographs and Spectres. A vocal sample of a lecture from freesound.org was also used. This turned out a lot less abstract and sparse than I originally envisioned, but I had a good time putting it together.

Thanks for listening! I carried on working on this after submitting, and that (slightly cleaned-up) version is available for download here: https://encym.bandcamp.com/album/clique-plaisir

This Disquiet Junto prompt in honour of the late Achim Szepanski and the "clicks_+_cuts" compilations issued through his Mille Plateaux label made me revisit my past: I used to produce clicks'n'cuts tracks and perform them live with my band. That work was inspired by Jan Jelinek/Farben/Gramm, Andrew Pekler, Pole, Akufen, Swayzak, Perlon, ~scape and, of course, Mille Plateaux.

I found this to be an exhiliarating ride upon wave after wave of inspiration. Couldn't help but extend it and name it Chaiselongue -- so much fun working on this, hope you're having at least as much listening to it!

This was quite a rush job, starting with sample hunting in my very own treasure trove, finding micro samples of cuts, bursts of noise, vocal snippets -- then proceeded to recording some sub bass lines with my Fender Jazz bass, Boss Octave and Moogerfooger Lowpass Filter -- shuffled everything around until it felt halfway right -- et voilá!

Enjoy!

The Assignment: Record a track in honor of the late Achim Szepanski.

One of the things that stood out to me in the music on the first Clicks_+_Cuts compilation from Mille Plateaux, was how in several pieces shifts in foreground and background are used as the main source of musical development. Parts that start in the background move to the fore, while others that were in the centre move to the periphery.
In the piece I made, I've tried to centre this approach. it consists of three main layers, a kick/bassdrum layer, a percussion layer and layer of slowly moving tonal material (mostly swells). The source material for these layers was made using a zither played in a variety of ways (harmonics, extended technique etc) and treated in real time (as I was playing) with various digital effects 
Subsequently, I mixed the layers and used mainly delays, reverb and filtering, as well as stereo processing, to draw the listeners attention to the different layers, creating shifts in foreground and background.
