**Production Notes**

I used two snippets recorded in Mallorca on a shortwave radio, these were mostly used for the Kick, the percussive sounds and some noise parts in the middle. 

Hihats were made from a rain recording, which you can hear throughout the whole piece. 

Finally, I found a lorry driving past on freesound.org and used them as a pitch base for the whole track. 

Applied a ton of EQ, delays, reverbs, and transient designers. 

Again: That was fun!

**Disquiet Junto Project 0479: Truck Radio Rain**

The Assignment: Locate three sound sources and make something with them.

Step 1: Locate online (freesound.org, for example) or record by yourself the following three sounds: a vehicle driving speedily, static between radio stations, and rain.

Step 2: Make an original piece of music using those three sounds. Do what you want with them, but only use those three sounds.

Background: “Wherever we are, what we hear is mostly noise. When we ignore it, it disturbs us. When we listen to it, we find it fascinating,” John Cage said in his 1937 lecture, “The Future of Music: Credo.” He continued: “The sound of a truck at fifty miles per hour. Static between the stations. Rain. We want to capture and control these sounds, to use them, not as sound effects, but as musical instruments.” In this week’s Disquiet Junto project, we take the proposition literally.

Seven More Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0479” (no spaces or quotation marks) in the name of your tracks.

Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag “disquiet0479” (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 tracks. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your tracks.

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

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0479-truck-radio-rain/

Step 5: Annotate your tracks 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.

Screener - Ataraxia [CYD 0014] Demo Mix

My first Dark Room Techno track for a good friend and my team. This track was written in b-flat-minor and 129 bpm. Made with Ableton Live 10.1 with some third party plugins like Razor, Massive and Reaktor from Native Instruments. Have fun.

ROUGH

I don’t want kids, my brain tricks me not my body. My body is like "girl you have pelvic floor problems, do you really wanna make that worse?" I used to play kalimba a lot. I have stopped playing since last year.  It's not really big and powerful, but when I hit the lower notes I can hear the window panes moving and feel the wood around me vibrating with the sound.
