Good, I like the undertones and sonic casualties around your guitar. Are those guitar nosies?

Enjoying the moody progression and phantom sounds... ghosts in the machine-guitar

great track . that wonderfully damaged sound upfront, nice sounds at the back...

Disquiet Junto Project 0488: Reverse Delay

Made as part of the disquiet project #0481 where the instruction was to record a track, upload it and set yourself a reminder to listen to it again in 5 years time. 

Made using samples in Ableton + plugins

Capsule Time (disquiet0481)

Song to the Siren, originally written by Tim Buckley. Playing off some tabs written by gazzaday.

I played guitar & bass. The synth drone played itself.

I left this one aside till I read today's challenge. It is just an idea, played on a borrowed Gibson Les Paul using a borrowed Epiphone little tube amp. I Was charmed by the tone and played some simple strummed chords and promised to work on it later. I tried to do something with this several times during the past few months but always failed and left it for a more inspiring day, again and again.

Today I opened the master, it was very short (1.5 minutes) and I found two takes of the original recording on that Gibson Les Paul (Dec 2020), some aborted Organ overdub (Jan 2021) and some cymbal washes (Mar 2021). 

I cleaned all that up a little, added a bass doubling the Les Paul root notes, took a picture of the Les Paul (still here, she might be claimed back at any moment now) and I'm done with this one.

For this challenge:
Step 1: Think of something music-related you’ve been putting off: finishing a track, starting a track, fixing a piece of hardware, updating a piece of software, trying out something one last time before discarding it. Whatever comes to mind. Preferably something that’s been bothering you.

Step 2: Make a piece of music that checks off the list whatever it was you recognized, in Step 1, you’d been putting off.

Second Chance(disquiet0488)

“The unadorned idea of a goal is ambiguous,” writes the neuroscientist Read Montague in his book Your Brain Is (Almost) Perfect. “As with any complex information-processing system, there are many levels of software in the brain … all other subgoals take a backseat to the most important edict—‘Stay alive until tomorrow.’”

One could be forgiven for procrastinating creative efforts during these past fourteen or so months. Alternatively, such conditions may also inspire a flurry of new activity that otherwise would not have happened. Regardless, some amount of stuff doesn’t get done.

Suss Müsik had an album ready to go for nearly a year before actually completing and releasing it this week. The concept was to revisit prior works with simpler, more spare arrangements. 

Suss Müsik was also interested in exploring what French philosopher Gilles Deleuze described as “figurative analogies,” blurring the auditory lines between how digital and analogue sounds are represented.

This week’s Junto contribution, titled Deleuze, is the demo of a track that wasn’t included on an album that almost never got made. A figurative analogy, perhaps, for what we mean to do vs. what we actually do.

I started this many years ago, but I could never get it right.  This week's disquiet prompt gave me a reason to dust it off, dress it up and set it out here.

Diverse Relay (disquiet0488)

Disquiet Junto Project 0491: Footsteps Sequencer. The Assignment: Compose a piece of music structured upon a walk through your home.

I considered recordings of the rooms, but my flat is too noisy. I thought about rooms in different chords or scales. Somehow I ended with abstrakt lyrics spoken by ttsmp3.com and some sound snippets. 

I had my doubts halfway through, but now I think it's nice and funny (and yes, not as clever as it may seem that it thinks it is).

I used six samples, all public domain:

Thanks to the recorders!

It’s a little jam with the Cocoquantus and and Zoia, which sounded ghostly and distant enough to fit the assignment.

**Disquiet Junto Project 0421: Marquee Ghosts**

The Assignment: What sounds haunt a discarded movie theater in the middle of the night?

This week’s project is just one step:

Step 1: What sounds haunt a discarded movie theater in the middle of the night?

Seven More Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0421” (no spaces or quotation marks) in the name of your track.

Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag “disquiet0421” (no spaces or quotation marks). If you’re posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to subsequent location of tracks for the creation of a project playlist.

Step 3: Upload your track. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your track.

Step 4: Post your track in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0421-marquee-ghosts/

Step 5: Annotate your track with a brief explanation of your approach and process.

Step 6: If posting on social media, please consider using the hashtag #disquietjunto so fellow participants are more likely to locate your communication.

Step 7: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Additional Details: Deadline: This project’s deadline is Monday, January 27, 2020, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, January 23, 2020.

Length: The length is up to you. Shorter is often better.

(...)

For context, when posting the track online, please be sure to include this following information:

Souffle de vent [disquiet0421]

Third collaboration for this week's junto joint:
This one's a more standard track, with bass, guitar, drums and an overdub of accordina.
I performed over @howthenightcame 's track https://soundcloud.com/howthenightcame/c-disquiet0430-ryan-scott-mattingly
That was his duo over @ryanscottmattingly 's https://soundcloud.com/ryanscottmattingly/rabbit-food-disquiet0429
I played standard rhythm section (upright bass) over the basic guitar+drum track, then added an Accordina improvisation over it.
It’s nice, melancholic, it was a pleasure for me, cheers

For this Disquiet Junto Project 0431: Solitary Ensembles x 3
The Assignment: Complete a trio by adding a track to an existing duet by two other musicians.
llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-pr…tary-ensembles-x-3/

Solitary Trio - disquiet0431 (collaboration w/  htnc & ryan scott mattingly) -

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.

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.
