There was but one instruction for this week's Disquiet Junto:

"There is one step to this project: Interpret the above photo as if it were a waveform."

I opted to go for a mood that fits the photograph, in terms of the silhouette of the trees, which look like a waveform amplitude, as well as the beautifully serene reflections in the water, using various sounds from the Aalto and Kaivo modular synth plug-ins plus my own guitar playing and selected weird sounds.

Sunset Waveform [disquiet0524]

In honor of Pi.  This is created from the sound of a wine glass being rubbed by a wet finger and the sound of a tabla drum.  There are three loops.  Each loop goes through the first one hundred digits of Pi where each digit of Pi controls the pitch and amplitude of each note.  In the first loop, there are 3.14 seconds between each note.  The second loop starts 3.141 seconds after the first.  In the second loop, there are 3.1415 seconds between each note.  The third loop starts 3.14159 seconds after the second.  In the third loop (the tabla), there are 3.141592 seconds between each hit.  Finally, the duration of this piece is 314 seconds (and some change).  I hope you enjoy it. Peace.

This is a one-pass guitar improv from last night, with no post-editing or mixing whatsoever. I feel the flow works really nicely so decided to post it. Enjoy!

The pic was taken in Stratford, East London, sometime before the Olympics.

Lovely prompt this one, thanks Marc @disquiet! This is my response for disquiet0619.

I went for a bit of a beat workout, selecting sounds and building up an odd time groove on the Machinedrum, before further tweaking in the DAW ensued, pushing things around, adding chords and bass tracks and whatnot, until this speedy odd time tune felt like it built up nicely, had a good flow and was going somewhere. Heaps of fun!!

Enjoy!
