This is my first Junto piece. I found the sandpaper sample to have a rhythmic, percussive quality, so I treated it as such, eventually getting abruptly fast, eventually releasing. Atop that, I attempted a free form approach to the dice. There was no system to how the dice was incorporated; some of the times when the two lined up was accidental, which is my favorite part about composing. I also enjoy using abnormal recording artifacts in the piece. I noticed what sounded like a processor hum the dice sample. I figured that was fair game. 

Dandsice (disquiet0016-backforeground)

Sample: Preshow warm up at The Cutting Ball Theater, SF, Friday 4/27. I checked with the cast to ensure it was ok that I use their voices.

Captured on a Zoom H1 and cut in Pro Tools 9. I looked for artifacts in my sample that behaved similarly to certain things in the preexisting track (information below), and exaggerated those little moments. Also wanted to match qualities and rhythms between sample and track.
