Neptune's unusual behavior is showing us that though we can make great models of planetary atmospheric circulation, there may be key pieces missing. - H. Hammel

Inspired by the ethereal and mysterious atmosphere of @caustic_gates disquiet0591 (https://soundcloud.com/caustic_gates/disquiet0591-patchouli-wash) I tried to patch something complementary.
I took a pre-existing melody, recorded single notes with a 0-Coast in a Morphagene reel. 0-Ctrl is controlling Morphagene’s playback and splices with pressure gate output and Mimeophon’s feedback and color with pressure cv output. Added auto filter and Vallhalla Plate in Ableton Live. 60bpm

Disquiet Junto Project 0597: Goal Line
The Assignment: Get started on a plan by getting over getting started.
More info on Disquiet Junto: disquiet.com/0597

Every goal is made of two elements: the first step and perseverance. 
I wanted to experiment creating glitch drums, with irregular lenghts and tempo changes. I then tried to integrate modular synths with it through midi clock via 0-Coast. Most of the work was done in and through Ableton, and came out as a chaotic piece of electronic music. I think there's still some work to do to make smoother tempo changes and loops transitions but I'm satisfied; maybe it'll lead to new material, maybe not: at least I learnt new techniques and reminded forgotten ones.

I started with a drum rack created with DS Kick, DS Clap, DS Hi-hat and two processed hits and a snare made off a field recording of an engine made in 1903 of a steamboat. I used beat repeat quite heavily and used Bathrööm reverb for the whole drum kit. I then created 8, 7, 3 1/2, 2, 1, 1/2 bars patterns and used Follow Action to program a random beat at 138 BPM. 
After recording it I automated master tempo, combining 69 BPM and 102 BPM. 
I then used 0-Coast to send midi clock to 0-Ctrl that sequenced two ARP2600 clone sine oscillators to create a bass. 
I added some heavily processed audio samples and Plucked Harp Effects to add some "melodic"/atmospheric voices.

Disquiet Junto Project 0604: Heaven’s Gate
The Assignment: Use a picture of the clouds as a plan for adjusting your sound.
More info on Disquet Junto: disquiet.com/0604

This week I didn't find a moment that was stimulating to find a picture, so I got an old one from 2019 that suited my needs. I decided to start creating a sound in Ableton, so I took that picture, converted into a wavetable with Image2Wavetable and then processed it with Pathways. I recorded a minute and then loaded it in Morphagene to work on it with modular and norns at the end of the chain, with Massif and FX mod with resonator on.
I am continuously searching for ways to have discontinuous sound, so I decided to use 0ctrl for this purpose.

After exporting the tracks I reminded myself of a beautiful documentary I watched on art brut where I discovered the artist Julius Bockelt and his wonderful works which take inspiration from sounds and the structure of clouds. https://christianberst.com/en/artists/julius-bockelt#artworks

Disquiet Junto Project 0609: Speed Limit Pt 1
The Assignment: Record a track at precisely 60 BPM with the intention someone will subsequently rework it.
More info on Disquet Junto: disquiet.com/0609

A little bit of QPAS pinging with Tempi as a master clock. Started a metronome at 60BPM and tapped on Tempi to follow it. Tempi clocked 0ctrl, Mimeophon and pinged QPAS. 
The second voice is just Morphagene magic with snippets of feedback/Wogglebug ring audio out + QPAS and Mimeophon.

Disquiet Junto Project 0611: Music That Listens to Itself
The Assignment: Record a piece of music that repurposes itself as it proceeds.
More info on Disquet Junto: disquiet.com/0611

Today's assignment was created with QPAS pinged by 0ctrl clocked by Tempi that was being modulated by Wogglebug Stepped out selecting modes and Burst in Tempi's Mod input.
QPAS Low Pass out into Mimeophon multipled to go to Morphagene. 
Mimeophon in blue zone (last one) acts as a looper and so does Morphagene. 

Didn't quite turn out as polyrhythm busy as I wanted it to be, but it certainly has an hypnotic/dreamlike/trance vibe as it is.

Here I am using the Make Noise 0-Coast in Duophonic mode by using the Arturia Keystep 37 to Arpeggiate the 0-Coast's main Oscillator and then using the 0-CTRL to Sequence the 0-Coast's Slope Envelope as an Oscillator in Cycling mode. Filter is the Make Noise QPAS and effects from their Mimeophon. Video version can be seen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNS_uTW2biQ
