Excellent, the bass arpeggios are great, the "fake-ness" of it is charming. And it's great to see your recycle "bricolage" instrument coming to sound after watching the photos.

Tidings of Transfiguration

[disquiet0557] Tidings of Transfiguration

A table by the sea and the condensation water of some bottles have left their mark. I like that. 

I interpreted the score as follows:

1. first, I see grains of sand on a surface. The grains suggest - simply put - a granular treatment of a pad or surface. 
2. the circles reminded me of the loop representation of the loopy app. So I recorded four loops. Wherever two "grooves" were visible, I played two notes, otherwise, I used just one; the fatter a groove, the greater the amplitude. I used Bardzo, Pigments, and SQ80-V. 
3. I ignored the fifth circle discreetly because it didn't fit into the piece anymore. Shame on me. 

First, the "table" (drone) starts, then the bottles (loops) are introduced with one time each. Once all four have played twice, they are removed again, until the piece ends.

Disquiet Junto Project 0557: Condensation Is a Form of Change
The Assignment: Interpret a graphic score that depicts four phases.

A combined play on a Brian Eno phrase and a John Cage visual motif is pretty much foundational Disquiet Junto territory. This week, interpret this image as a graphic score:

Eight Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0557” (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 “disquiet0557” (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-0557-condensation-is-a-form-of-change/

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:

Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, September 5, 2022, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, September 1, 2022.

Length: The length is up to you.

Title/Tag: When posting your tracks, please include “disquiet0557” in the title of the tracks, and where applicable (on SoundCloud, for example) as a tag.

Four on a Beach  [disquiet0557]

Condensation is a form of change, but this is only half of the story. Condensation is what happens when vapor transforms to a liquid state; evaporation is what happens when liquid changes back to vaporous form. It’s a constant, cyclical form of reclaiming what was lost.

Michael John Harris, author of the book The End of Absence, has an interesting perspective on loss vs. gain: “My child will never know the value of learning to read a map without GPS. This is the problem with losing lack: it’s nearly impossible to recall its value once it’s gone.“ 

Some cognitive scientists argue that digital media has rendered our brains into mush. Others believe that, like how the clouds above manage moisture content, it’s simply a matter of displacing one form of cognitive processing with another.

For this Junto project, Suss Müsik explored the cyclical nature of something being there and then not there. The original photo was scanned and rendered to high-contrast, which revealed two distinct patterns: the first a reasonably formed outline comprising a circle (we’ll call that v.1), the other a series of amorphous blobs (v.2). 

v.1 became the basis for a cyclical riff played on fake bass and a DIY synth device. v.2 was played by tracing a finger across a DIY piezo mic resonator (constructed from old hard drive enclosures) and passing the signal through a Meng Qi Wingie 2. Some sloppy piano was overdubbed; interruptions were designed per interpretation of the “score.”

The piece is titled after Hieronimo Squarciafico, the 15th-century Venetian editor who warned that the invention of the printing press would inhibit humankind’s ability to remember things.

Disquiet 0557. Prompt was to interpret the graphic score. Improvised to the score on the flute, then processed the recording. It's definitely over processed. Oh well...

disquiet0557 Condensation

Divided the image into a hexagonal grid and converted each set of water rings into note sequences. Then repeated them from left to right, starting each new sequence at the end of the previous and repeating after the length of the sequence to create a kind of "singing in rounds" effect. The sequences differ in length so the overlap of the repetitions is varied.

Added background sound from Spitfire Audio's LABS LA Atmos and AudioThing Noises to represent the grain in the original image.

rounds (disquiet0557)

I primi 4 simboli sono stati usati come immaginari canali di disturbo (rumore e fascia ambientale). L'ultimo simbolo come base per la parte strumentale/percussiva che entra nella seconda e parte finale del pezzo. Le note, distribuite e combinate in modo random, sono quelle usate da Eno in Music for Airports. Alla fine molto Japan, come spesso mi succede.

The first 4 symbols were used as imaginary disturbance channels (noise and environmental band). The last symbol as the basis for the instrumental/percussive part that enters the second and final part of the piece. The notes, distributed and combined in a random way, are those used by Eno in Music for Airports. In the end a lot of Japan, as often happens to me.

The creation of music took place in several periods of life. The first was approximately 2008-2011. 

The second period was 2012-2015. In 2014, there were the first releases of musical losses on the Yamaha synthesizer.  In January-March 2015, the first duet of Klarion and RedKumicho was released and the song "451°F (our interpretation)" was released. 

The third period was 2015-2019.  In the autumn of 2016, musical achievements were played on the piano, the chamber radio "Soviet fanfare" and so on.  The main style and genre of music was formed: symphonic rock, pop-rock, pop, alternative, indie rock, prog-rock (progressive rock), imitation of a mixture of jazz, soul, as well as indigo music. But there was also a break. 

The fourth period was 2019-2022 years. 
In the fall of 2019, Klarion Devvins met with Guaychi, a Chinese musician-guitarist. 

2020 year.
Initially, from the beginning of 2020, the pseudonym (nickname) was "Germon777 Lous". At the same time, covers of hits from the 1970s-1980s were recorded.  The pseudonym (nickname) Klarion Devvins finally established itself in the summer of 2020. In the summer of 2020, Leo, the creator of the future hit "Wounds" on November 16, 2020, temporarily joins the duo.  Also, the most powerful peak in the creation and formation of specific musical works (in the form of texts with chords) came in the fall of 2020 (October-December). "("Far") authored by Klarion and "Imaginarium-2" also authored by Klarion. 

2021 year.
By May 2021, due to the large set and number of melodies (texts and chords), a new group was formed, or rather, a duet of Klarion and Guaychi called  "Klarion and Guaychi", which can be found on this page. Further, in the summer of 2021, there was a decrease in the pace of creating new melodies, but from the end of October 2021, the music began to acquire a technical component and up to the present day. 

2022 year.
In March 2022 of the final musical works, several songs were made with the vocals of Klarion and Guaychi. In the summer of 2022, the duet 'Klarion and Guaychi' temporarily broke up and the new album "Glow", where the main composition was recorded back in July 2020. This album entered and includes both as old developments and new melodies. In mid-September 2022, the duet of Klarion and Guaychi recovered. The creation of new melodies in the backing track without recording the voice-vocal itself continued. In early November and mid-November 2022, Klarion covered Chinese, English and Japanese songs in the exact style of live Guaychi playing. But since the end of November 2022, some details have become clear, the joint duo broke up again and Klarion again began to make music alone, more and more often remembering the musical happy past and completely delving into it.

2023 year.
