Name: Esposito (naviarhaiku310) by Ryan Scott Mattingly in haiku #310: One push of the door, a single step
Duration: 5 min 1 s
Description: If you listen closely, you can pick out my first time adding violin to a song.

There is a faint sadness here, goes well with the title. Loving it :)

One push of the door, a single step
And the corridor seems to stretch
As far as the eye can see.

Disquiet0529 Question 23

This track was inspired by the number 23 (as proposed by the Disquiet Junto Project 0529). The generative MIDI sequencer Transition was used (as for all Musical Bots tracks), but also Stochas for the choir.
The number 23 influenced that piece of music in many different ways. Among others the morse code of psalm 23 in English, French and German is also part of this track.

My gratitude goes to zwier for the fieldrecording of the sheep provided here: https://freesound.org/people/zwier/sounds/200329/

Major thanks to Eanna Butler for helping come up with this project:

enormt minimal (Disquiet0530)

The phrase minimally viable music reminded me of listening to The Caretaker's Everywhere At The End of Time. It's a harrowing listen as over six and a half hours what starts as wistful, joyful melodies become stripped of timing, tuning and coherence. Towards the end you're disoriented by a grey sonic plaque of scratches, pops and detritus.
I took a very abbreviated route and took a simple loop from my 2hpPluck and ran it on successive passes through more and more destructive fx until almost all pitch, timing and timbre information was removed. The end result plays at the beginning before the original loop fades in and starts to be messed with.

Humming Top (small Gestures Wrote Large Mix) [disquiet530]

Minimal Viable Product (MVP) is a development and commercialization practice in which a new concept is introduced to the market with basic features. The intention is to maximize the amount of learning, in order to assess product fertility, while minimizing the amount of resource investment.

The general template of an MVP consists of listing the key characteristics of the product that customers will deem essential, usually in the form of questions. These are then coupled with elements that can be designed and manufactured within aggressive time and cost guardrails. Subsequent iterations of the MVP render an offering of increasing maturity, ideally and hopefully, before it transforms the market for which it’s targeted.

Suss Müsik took an MVP approach to this week’s Junto project. The primary questions regarding viability might be interpreted as: to what extent do acoustic and electric guitar fragments, when pressurized under certain constraints, no longer render themselves as inherently musical? At what point do these fragments cease to offer acousmatic value to the listener? And to what extent would an audience be willing to subject themselves to that experience? 

The responses to these inquiries, as with all instances of MVP concept testing, are subject to input from a respective target audience. In this case, that audience is you. 

The piece is titled MVP v.1 and was recorded live to 8-track in February 2022. The image is a schematic overlay of an actual instrument prototype.

MVP v.1 [Disquiet0530]

Disquiet Junto Project 0529: Squared Off

Make the thing you think is the minimum viable music.

Major thanks to Saga Söderback for having come up with this project.


I considered what "Minimum viable music" means to me.

For me, musicality has always linked directly to musicianship. A great practitioner of their instrument has great musicianship, and great musicianship opens the path to great musicality. Musicality then breeds music.

So in a quest to go minimal, I took the road of a single C2 note from a Juno synth (TAL Uno LX) -a square wave oscillator, everything open. Nothing easier than hitting a note! 
Then I sent the audio from that single note, looped at 134 BPM, into a load of effect tracks, comprising reverbs, delays, pitch shifters, overdrive distortions, and digital degradation effects units.

I wanted to expose my love for effect units. Nothing but a C2 on a Juno was used here. Musicianship is minimised fully - musicality comes from performance of 'effects', not of 'instruments'. Set up and play the effect units in a digital DAW. Minimum Viable Musicianship....

Tal Uno LX, Wave H-Reverb, Eventide Little Plate, Surreal Machines Diffuse and Modnetic, Eventide Little Alter Boy, Eventide Effect Rack x3, Tritik Moodal x2, Replika XT x3, Glitchmachines Fracture XT x2, Sonic Charge Permut8. A shade of feedback here and there!

Thanks for listening...

Corridor (naviarhaiku310)

One push of the door, a single step
And the corridor seems to stretch
As far as the eye can see.

Takuboku Ishikawa is best remembered for his emphatic and introspective tanka: his poems were accepted by the one of the most important tanka journals of the early 20th century, “Myojo”, when he was only 16.
Takuboku Ishikawa’s two major collections of tanka, “Ichiaku no Suna” (“A Handful of Sand”) and “Kanashiki Gangu” (“Sad Toys”), came out in 1910 and 1912. “Sad Toys” was published posthumously in June 1912, two months after he died of tubercolosis at the age of 26.

Ryan Scott Mattingly's work sets washes of noise alongside sounds from daily life creating melodic songscapes with traditional acoustic instruments (guitar, banjo, mandolin, double bass),  electronics (synthesizer, pedal steel) and homemade instruments, weaving those juxtapositions into grandiose, otherworldly textures.
