This makes me think of a slow flood of memories coming to the surface, mostly creepy and uncomfortable ones, things evocative of a music box that starts playing on it's own... great atmosphere!

Disquiet Junto Project 0515: Talking Cure
The Assignment: Write music for a psychotherapist’s waiting room.

Step 1. Imagine that you are about to consult a therapist. You are sitting in the waiting room of his/her/their office.

Step 2. Picture some comfortable chairs, abstract artworks on the wall, and some large plants in the corners of the room. The perfect music for this moment is playing out of a high quality, vintage-looking speaker. You are ready for your appointment.

Step 3. Create a piece of music that you imagine hearing in this situation. The duration of the piece is up to you. If you are OK with your work potentially being excerpted, please license it with a CC license that permits derivative works (i.e., any CC license that does not include ND, “no derivative works”).

Background: Selected results from this assignment will be included in the soundtrack of an experimental video series The Talking Cure, currently being produced by visual artists The Big Conversation Space. The Talking Cure will be projected in the group exhibition The Real Show at the contemporary art museum CAC Brétigny, France from January through April 2022 and broadcast on YouTube. The video series will also feature the Disquiet Junto through interviews with Marc Weidenbaum and other Disquiet Junto participants and supporters. The Junto participants whose work is included will be credited by name in the videos.

You Lied [disquiet0515]

For "Bardominium", I wanted a sound reminiscent of a Marpac Dohm noise machine, but with vague extras.  

This is the 40 second version.

To achieve this, I combined sections of tracks by my side group Aleodeology.  These tracks are titled "Aleodeological Travel", "Industrial Terminal", and "Significant Mallets".  I also mixed in a bunch of homemade loops created from the Korg IMS-20 iPad app .

I was recording ebow guitar today so did this jam, guitar, upright bass, ebow guitar, synths.
it was pure "free association", just played whatever came to my mind on top of the previous tracks.

"The voice may well be the key to the presence of the present and to an unalloyed interiority, but it conceals in its bosom that inaudible object voice which disrupts both. (...) This object embodies the very impossibility of attaining auto-affection; it introduces a scission, a rupture in the middle of the full presence, and refers it to a void—but a void which is not simply a lack, an empty space; it is a void in which the voice comes to resonate."

(Mladen Dolar, The Voice and Nothing More, MIT Press, 2006)


This is my contribution to Disquiet Junto project #0515: Talking Cure. This week, the prompt consisted in creating a piece of music that you imagine hearing in a therapist's waiting room.

Wartime Relics Crumbling Concrete [naviarhaiku414]

Every decade or so Frank Herbert’s epic Dune saga inspires a new generation of artists, musicians, composers, filmmakers, bakers, storytellers, noisemakers and dreamers. I’m not exactly new generation (I read it when it was first published), but Dune is still inspiring…

3. LOSTHAPILOT - UNLEARN

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.

A "dinett" is a trolley table made in the fifties by the furniture company Bremshey out of Solingen. For the experimental electronic music of Soundinett it serves as a workspace like a canvavs for painting. The upper tray is where the sound is painted, the lower tray stores the devices waiting to be added to a ever changing modular pattern of gear. The workspace of the dinett allowes only a few modules to connect. This reduction is a important formal element of "Soundinett" composition technique. It prevents from getting lost in gear while setting up the audio colour palette of electronic devices.
