Here’s a response to last week’s haiku, written by sevenism, together with another AI. We could start a whole new series called the hAIku challenge!

Sevenism is one of the earliest participants in the Haiku challenge and the first artist to publish a solo album with Naviar.

@nightmares-on-wax “I made this mix after my interview and conversation with Ralph Moore for Mixmag, and it's inspired by lots of the music and references we were discussing. I wanted to do a mix for Mixmag you wouldn’t usually get going through soul, funk, reggae, disco, R&B and house. All the songs are tunes I’ve been digging this past year during the pandemic. I had a lot of fun digging records for this mix and recorded it live in my studio The Other Ship in Ibiza.”

Tracklist

The Cover Mix: Nightmares On Wax

Not many producers can create new aliases after 10+ years and still manage to drop something completely unexpected and refreshing. 

Peter Rogers’ Wardown project did just that in 2020, debuted on the respected Blu Mar Ten label, the self-titled album found admirers from a cross-section of music styles; spanning Jungle, Drum’n Bass and a strong atmospheric element. Wardown / Wardown was consequently one of my most played and admired albums of the year (finding a sweet spot in my Reflection on 2020 mix of course). I found it near impossible to stop the album once it started, as it flowed easily between stories, styles, and sentimental reflection. 

Peter is now set to drop his second album under the Wardown alias, simply titled Wardown II, but those who absorbed the nostalgia from his first, will undoubtedly be confident that despite its modest title, the conceptual approach is as strong as ever, and the music will once again be left to do the storytelling. 

Continuing with this brilliant reflective approach from the first album, Wardown II can be considered another vivid capture of one of Peter’s undoubtedly many memories he has begun to create with this alias. And just like his productions, his isolatedmix is a natural extension of this approach. As is the case with many producers in this genre, DJ’ing is integral to the culture, so it’s of no surprise for us to be treated to a little bit of a masterclass with this latest installment…

Marco Lucchi & sevenism - Rainbowing (rain mix)

This month’s Bright Patterns is a special tribute to Norm Chambers, who sadly passed away in November from a rare form of sinus cancer. Norm released a prolific amount of material under his own name and several other monikers over the years, such as Panabrite, Jürgen Müller, and Spiral Index. Following a two-hour tribute for 2021’s No Way Back comprised entirely of Norm’s music, this edition of Panabrite Patterns features four talented artists who connected deeply with the unique world imagined within his productions. William Selman presents a mix of selections they shared as favorites. Joshua Davison created six original tracks with Norm’s sonic pathways in mind. Matthew Patterson Curry crafted an extensive soundscape inspired by the simplicity and freedom of Norm’s rich output. The final portion is a hybrid mix from Jonas Reinhardt, who released the first edition of “The Encyclopedia of Civilizations” with Norm under his Jürgen Müller alias.

For this challenge, I re-used the samples I made way back for Disquiet 0262 in 2017.  This time though, I processed the sample using the modular - One side of Lubadh playing the sample, the other echoing it, then Clouds and Rings both process it as well. I then played the faders on my mixer to create a track, that sounds quite warm for an ice bath!

Spring Palindromes (Dark Winter snippets) (disquiet0177-netlabelportrait)

I was playing around with Cecilia5 which is awesome for real-time processing, clicked random sound which came up with a vocoder preset and it had already emphasized the bells and got rid of most of the background sounds! I fiddled about with it coz there was a little distortion and to make it sound a little more weird but then all i needed to do was a bit of gentle levelling and fading out in audacity. This is the first couple of minutes.

Disquiet Junto Project 0178: Berlin Bells
Emphasize the bells in an urban field recording.

Step 1: Download the audio file at this URL. It is a field recording of urban Berlin by Michael Raphael (aka Sepulchra):

https://goo.gl/C3kJNA

Step 2: Rework the source audio in a manner that reinforces the melodic component of the bells. Beyond that sole instruction, the choices are up to you.

Step 3: Upload your track to the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud.

Step 4: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

The main thing I've learned recently is how to cede control to an instrument, like how inuits (and other cultures) say: the sculpture is already there. i just need to tease it out. So there's more of a collaboration, feedback loop, between performer and instrument.

Here, I used acidrack pressed the random button to get a synth tone, then pressed random again because i didnt like the first one. i fed this tone through a load of echo and delay in podfarm. i used excel to generate random notes, then improvised based on these constraints. 

The long rhythmic echoes suggested long gaps between the notes but sometimes these echoes were lower in the mix so i'd play quicker, at the same time i was cognizant of what had already happened and how close it felt to the end.

The track title was found by 'conducting' my swype keyboard on my phone to produce two words. Art was found by searching google images for these words and manipulating an image i liked

Disquiet Junto Project 0179: Tech(nique) Talk
Show off (and explain) one thing you’ve learned recently about an instrument/tool.

Step 1: Think of one thing in the recent past you’ve “figured out” related to how you use an instrument or another piece of technology to make music.

Step 2: Record a short piece of music that employs that technique.

Step 3: After uploading the piece, explain in the accompany text (and/or in the captions to the SoundCloud file) what the thing is you’ve figured out, so others can benefit from what you’ve learned. Explain how you’ve employed it in the track.

Step 4: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Chinook Showroom {ambientechoes} [disquiet0179-techniquetalk] (shortened)

I represented each of the six dolls as an instrument -  the bass doll, then opening up we hear my voice, then mountain dulcimer, then kalimba, 12 string guitar and glockenspiel. Then I reversed it as the doll is put back together and we just hear the bass to close.

The bass starts off with more fx then I remove more and more fx from the instruments as it opens up.

I tried to restage the image with my instruments!

Disquiet Junto Project 0180: Matryoshka Music
Use the Russian nesting dolls as a model for a musical composition.

Step 1: Consider the Russian nesting doll called the matryoshka, in which hollowed-out wooden figurines are designed to be stored inside each other, excepting the smallest doll, which is solid.

Step 2: Compose a short piece of music that somehow takes as its basis the doll’s structure. (For a further constraint, imagine a matryoshka consisting of 6 dolls.)

Step 3: Upload your completed track to the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud.

Step 4: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Deadline: This assignment was made in the early evening, California time, on Thursday, June 11, 2015, with a deadline of 11:59pm wherever you are on Monday, June 15, 2015.

Length: The length of your finished work is up to you, but between two minutes and four minutes is probably best in this context.

Upload: Please when posting your track on SoundCloud, only upload one track for this assignment, and include a description of your process in planning, composing, and recording it. This description is an essential element of the communicative process inherent in the Disquiet Junto. Photos, video, and lists of equipment are always appreciated.

*shortened to make space. longer versn here https://hearthis.at/sevenism/matryoska-demo-kpple-concpt-remix/*

the first recording of vocals for my matryoska track i couldnt fit with the other instruments. i loved the concept of this track: https://soundcloud.com/jmmy-kpple/untitled-matryoshkoid-disquiet0180-matryoshkamusic and used it here.. although for the first minute i was stretching it rather than compressing it but fuck it i love mistakes, and anyway it degrades the sample further which i wanted because it wouldve taken too long to record 50 odd iterations at decreased mp3 quality.

this was too creepy for my girfriend 'why have you got to make frightening music?'

Disquiet Junto Project 195: Chinasystem Soundsystem
Make music for a Caochangdi Village National Day party.

Caochangdi is a Chinese village that is home to many artists, including Matt Hope and Naihan Li. In the afternoon and early evening of Thursday, October 1, which is National Day in China, there will be a party in Caochangdi utilizing the unique and sizable Laoban Soundsystem. Laoban is fully Creative Commons hardware, and was developed by Matt Hope. The Laoban Soundsystem crew has asked the Junto to create music for the party, which will run from 2pm to 7pm, that means our goal is 5 hours of music.

Please consider setting your track for downloadable, as streaming at the party may not function smoothly, because the Internet in China is heavily filtered, which means downloading of the track needs to happen before the event to insure proper playback.

Step 1: You are creating music for a long party and a big sound system. Keep this in mind. If possible, make a track that lasts about 10 to 15 minutes long.

Step 2: Create a track that moves through three stages:

The first stage should be brief and invoke sounds related to agriculture.

The second stage, the longest of the three stages, should invoke sounds related to artistic production and communal living. Slowly transition from the first stage to the second stage.

The third stage should begin abruptly and invoke rapid industrialization.

"Back in December of 2019, I was asked by the good people at BBC Radio 6Music to prepare a January 1st radio show. The brief was out of the norm, which appealed to me: they wanted a daytime show, and the theme was 'tender music for tender heads...' something to soothe the body and soul. It gave me a chance to air some favorites from the collection that I don't normally get to play. If the body and soul needed soothing then, it DEFINITELY needs it now. Enjoy!"- DJ Shadow
