Stars are visible from a room, which has lost city lights.
Children, old people, and soldiers, no one in this city anymore.

Last lovers on this planet. Distant explosion sound.

Rubble, remembrances and corpses. We are living in chaos now.
It's just the two of us in this world. One might call it romantic.

Last lovers on this planet. I want to know what love is.

What is lost can no longer be regained, only to fade away.
Only sighs may remain in history and will be passed down.

Last lovers on this planet. I sleep with you in my arms.

Everyone made love. Everyone was betrayed. 
Everyone was hurt. Nobody's left.

Last lovers on this planet

misty daydream [naviarhaiku484]

This week's #disquietjunto prompt was to record the second third of an asynchronous trio.

I fired up a random number generator on Friday, and the number it returned was 1, so I downloaded Andreas Kitzmann's beautiful and atmospheric track (https://soundcloud.com/andreas-kitzmann-27370936/disquiet0591)

I listened to it on Friday and could immediately imagine some accordion or similar reedy tones playing over it.

I wasn't able to get to work on it until Monday, so I settled for using my melodica (surely my neighbors won't mind), which I think worked pretty well. 

The first two phrases the melodica plays are melodies I heard in my head while listening to Andreas' track, and the rest imitate phrases from the source track (though sometimes repeating them starting on a different pitch for a little flavor).

Happy Andreas shared his creativity, and I look forward to hearing what part might come next!

Two Of Three (disquiet0592)

For this week's submission, I combined three tracks from last week's prompt:

Each track was slowed to 30bpm. I left Analoc's track intact, then chopped and changed Melondruie's, and Fake Genius' tracks to suit. All the sounds in the recording come from these three tracks.

Disquiet Junto Project 0610: Speed Limit Pt 2
The Assignment: Combine two or more pre-existing 60 BPM tracks into something new — at half the speed.

Step 1: In the previous Disquiet Junto project, participants recorded a variety of tracks at a standard pace of 60 BPM. Listen to the resulting material on the Lines discussion board and the SoundCloud playlist:
Step 2: Select two or more tracks from the provided ones, slow them to half their original pace — that is, to 30 BPM — and use editing techniques to combine them into one new piece of music.

Eight Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0610” (no spaces or quotation marks) in the name of your tracks.

Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag “disquiet0610” (no spaces or quotation marks). If you’re posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to subsequent location of tracks for the creation of a project playlist.

Step 3: Upload your tracks. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your tracks.

Step 4: Post your track in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0610-speed-limit-pt-2/

Step 5: Annotate your track with a brief explanation of your approach and process.

Step 6: If posting on social media, please consider using the hashtag #DisquietJunto so fellow participants are more likely to locate your communication.

Step 7: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Step 8: Also join in the discussion on the Disquiet Junto Slack. Send your email address to marc@disquiet.com for Slack inclusion.

Note: Please post one track for this weekly Junto project. If you choose to post more than one, and do so on SoundCloud, please let me know which you’d like added to the playlist. Thanks.

Additional Details:

Length: The length is up to you.

Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, September 11, 2023, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, September 7, 2023.

Upload: When participating in this project, be sure to 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.

Download: It is always best to set your track as downloadable and allowing for attributed remixing (i.e., a Creative Commons license permitting non-commercial sharing with attribution, allowing for derivatives).

Leftovers (disquiet0610)

Disquiet Junto Project 0611: Music That Listens to Itself
The Assignment: Record a piece of music that repurposes itself as it proceeds.

After using granular delays of different kinds in https://soundcloud.com/winterer/infinity-piano-mirror I gave the hardware feedback a try. Which wasn't that easy on the Soma Cosmos drifting memory station. First I used on of the outs directly on the ins which made some unspectacular noises that are now used in the rhythmic part. Then I used a Zoom H2 Mikro and it's line out as an input for the Cosmos and cheap headphones (expecting their destruction) for the output of the signal. I "played" the "instrument" by holding the headphones near the micro. So the Cosmos really "listen's to itself". I found the recorded result too harsh and slowed this stem down to 50% and EQed the whistles, to get their character just so as a musical contribution. My wife asked for the source of the strange sounds and my answer got woven into the recording, as did my squeaking chair (again). I cut all down to 3 minutes (because I train to be short at the moment) and added some additional FX just to soften the track. It's not as meditative as the piano granular first try, but more true to the prompt.

The Cosmos Listens To Itself [disquiet0611]

Disquiet Junto Project 0611: Music That Listens to Itself
The Assignment: Record a piece of music that repurposes itself as it proceeds.

Step 1: The underlying idea is to produce music that, so to speak, listens to itself. This would be music that employs techniques to revisit itself — repurposes itself — as it proceeds. From reverb to echo to tape loops to granular synthesis to accessing a buffer, various techniques serve such a compositional and performance purpose. Consider a means to achieve this result.

Step 2: Record a piece of music that employs the technique you focused on as a result of Step 1.

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0611-music-that-listens-to-itself/64092

My immediate idea upon reading the prompt was to use a delay feeding an envelope follower to affect the signal feeding into the delay.   The result being like the speaker is forced to pause and listen to the words of their former self.  The patch came together quite quickly and I has a lot of potential, but I think will take awhile to fully realize and I am really looking forward to continuing the exploration.

Heroes On The Sun 

Written and performed by Kym Turnbull AKA Bluebird

Produced by Richard Brown

Lyrics:

I don't need no mountain to climb
to know how I feel
and I don't need no river to find
my way through these fields

I keep holding on, holding off
in a moment of fear
I keep holding on, holding off
til the moment appears

Take me back to the place of silence 
where there is no violence
and no more fighting                                   x2

If I walk on into the night
straight through those fields
will you be that shimmering light
that knows how I feel

I keep holding on...

Take me back to the place of silence 
where there is no violence
and no more fighting                                   x2

Heroes on the sun...
