Disquiet Junto Project 0671: In the Air Tonight
The Assignment: Make an atmosphere of your own.

Step 1: Rather than record music, in the traditional sense, you are going to spend time assembling a sonic environment, what might be thought of as an atmosphere. Think about what that might entail. Please begin this process with the understanding that you will create the atmosphere from scratch, which is to say: not using field recordings of existing environments.

Step 2: Think about the sort of atmosphere you want to make. It might help to experiment by first making some quick rough drafts, in order to see what sorts of atmospheres your skills and equipment lend themselves to.

Step 3: Now record the atmosphere you decided upon in Step 2, adhering to the directions mentioned in Step 1.

Deadline: Monday, November 11, 2024, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.

Disquiet Junto # 0671 was an invitation to create an atmosphere from scratch. "Other People's Dreams" features three intertwined vignettes, guiding the listener through mysterious spaces that are lying in wait for their stories to begin. 

A lot of the sounds, including the rattling engine in part 1, came out of torturing drum kit samples with filters, ring mods, and arpeggiators. I live-sculpted high pass and low pass filters on layers of pink noise to create the ocean swells. I recently acquired a Nektar Panorama control surface for Logic Pro, which gives me tactile control over parameter automation. For this piece, I was able to record a live performance involving shaping and filtering in real time. It's been very freeing creatively.

Recorded at NOSIGNAL Multimedia Lab in The Shambles, Chicago. True to the instructions for the prompt, no field recordings were used.

This track was produced using four Csound instruments that provided a variety of timbres. The structural framework was built using a chaotic algorithm written in Python which generated the notes for the score.

Planet Andy (disquiet0718)

After hundreds of years of space exploration, I finally discovered a planet inhabited by beings most likely similar to us. The drone photographed a world composed of enormous metal platforms and vast tropical forests.
From all this, every 50 square kilometers, these enormous, towering metal columns rise. 
Each column has a huge speaker that plays the music/sound I recorded. Very similar to our concept of sound and music.  Then I noticed that this music can only be heard at an altitude of 10 kilometers, exclusively in the space surrounding the planet. 
Then I realized that all this is primarily a form of protection from the outside, from any kind of external intrusion. 
The intelligent entities on this planet intercept your vital signals, understand which civilization you come from, and immediately camouflage themselves.
Because they know full well that if the white man approaches, entire continents and entire civilizations will disappear.

arpeggios are very selfish [new series] n*2

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.

I am a poet & musician. Here, you can find solo pieces (poetry) and works by Spirit Turnpike. I play with mixes of voice, basses, guitar, samples, field recordings, and electronic music. 



I have been named New York State Beat Poet Laureate (2024-2026) by the National Beat Poetry Foundation.

I deeply appreciate the collaborations I have encountered across different platforms, as building music together is liberation.

Collaborations: New Haven Improvisers Collective, The Arawax, Global Nuisance,  Salon Du Monde Fremont (internet TV), Disquiet Junto, Marco Lucchi (Orchestra Eclettica e Sincretista).
