Disquiet Junto Project 0592: Better Than One 
The Assignment: Record the second third of an asynchronous trio.. More info on Disquiet Junto: http://disquiet.com/0592

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 0595: Filter Progression
The Assignment: Make music by processing a static sound.
More info on Disquiet Junto: disquiet.com/0595

[…] The numbers that form the first harmonics conform to the universe as our senses can perceive it. They form the legitimate human field in the magic world of sounds - the field that is open to us through the physical laws we depend on and the organs we posses, which are themselves in conformity with these laws. - A. Daniélou (Music and the Power of Sound p.26)

Harmonics are at the root of sounds as we perceive them. Their series and the possibilities given from the interaction with a filter inspired me to work with the first eleven harmonics of the series starting from the note A3 (A, A, E, A, C#, E, G, A, B, C, D#) I gradually added notes, raised filter cutoff, resonance and the volume of one of the two filters I used to get crescendo .
Today, 27th May is also Drone Day. Happy droning y'all!

I started off recording the series with 0-coast into Morphagene as a series of splices; due to the limits of range of 0-coast’s oscillator I transposed the last 3 notes of the series down one octave. Morphagene output went into QPAS’ low pass and smile pass outputs. Low pass output goes to right channel of XOH. Smile output goes into Mimeophon in green zone, then XOH’s left channel. 
As for modulation there are 3 sources: one sine LFO coming from Blue Marvin osc 2 set to minimum value, then into a mult that goes to QPAS Radiate left in and to Mimeophon Rate in and µ in. Wogglebug sends Smooth to a mult to go to Qpas Q, !¡!¡ and Radiate right inputs. QPAS freq 1 input is modulated by 0-coast slope circuit passed in its Voltage Math section and triggered by Wogglebug’s Int Clock out.
In Ableton I just added a bit of Shimmer to give some sparks.

Disquiet Junto Project 0600: Reaching Out
The Assignment: This is a shared sample project. Rework a set of seven WAV files provided by Marcus Fischer.
More info on Disquiet Junto: disquiet.com/0600

This is the 600th Disquiet Junto. 600 weeks of fresh music! Congratulations to Marc Weidenbaum @disquiet and all the Disquiet Junto community for this important achievement!
This week I had the pleasure of re-working a collection of Marcus Fischer's wav files from which I selected nacre_voit and no_input_matrix_mixer files.
I decided to keep focusing on the higher part of the spectrum, just as I did on my previous disquiet 0599. I used synths and norns clone to interact and/or mangle the two selected .wav files.
It was difficult to keep things interesting and having control of everything while keeping an eye on the timing of such process.
For this recording I set up Morphagene to play nacre_voit.wav as a reel. The output was sent to a mult and then split to a mixer and to QPAS and Mimeophon for effects, then into the mixer with a non effected output.  
Arp 2600 clone and 0-Coast produces an high pitched voice that is similar to Marcus Fischer's nacre_voit.
Fates is running Gemini script with no_input_matrix_mixer.
The latter two are then effected with Hologram Microcosm Granules, Haze, 3rd preset. On previous takes I also tried Graintopia and Twine.
It's been the longest process I've ever had with any Disquiet Junto since my (recent) first submission (0590). For this last assignment I collected 13 different takes, it's a process that could have resulted in even more if I didn't restrain myself to call it finished. 
Lesson to be learnt is to keep patch simples: for this one I had complex patches running as I was trying to better understand all the capabilities of my newly arrived NANO Caixa 104 case, but the process of keeping everything under control and improvising without overdubs has been demanding. I think this one has suffered of a strange kind of horror vacui.

Disquiet Junto Project 0602: Choice Words
The Assignment: Make a piece of music that strives to express a specific word.
More info on Disquet Junto: http://disquiet.com/0602

"Chiaroscuro", italian for "light-dark" [...] is the use of strong contrasts between light and dark, usually bold contrasts affecting a whole composition.
I chose the word "chiaroscuro" as I find this contrast appropriate to my mood of this period of my life.

For this patch I recorded bass into Morphagene and then effected it with a bit of Mimeophon. Then I added a lead line made with ARP2600 clone into Norns Pedalboard with Phaser and Resonator, then plugged into a preamp and then to QPAS for further effects. 
The bass plays harmonics A-D-A (7-7-5 frets) and G-D-G (5-5-3 frets).
I used G double harmonic scale (G-Ab-B-C-D-Eb-F#) for the lead voice.

Disquiet Junto Project 0605: Fifty Fifty
The Assignment: Compose a piece of music with as much silence as notes.
More info on Disquet Junto: disquiet.com/0605

I feel I had explored something similar to 0605's assignment in my previous submission for disquiet 0591 (https://soundcloud.com/micheleisoni/7-7-7-disquiet-junto-0591?si=050e4e1202c4412f93dae7e17b7e82aa&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing).
This week I reflected upon rhythm and the balance between the first beat and the silence that follows it until the next one arises. 
I set up a patch to explore "space in time" building a rhythm that tries to change continuously space between beats to obtain something like a "gridless" time structure. 

The patch is basically a QPAS filter ping using a clock output from Tempi and Burst from Wogglebug. Maths and manual control of QPAS' VCA and a bit of Mimeophon + Microcosm Interrupt's second preset to glitch things.

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.

Chirper (disquiet0609)

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.

With over 100 physical releases since its inception by Taylor Deupree in 1997, New York-based music label 12k has decisively defined and developed the concept of minimalism in the realms of electronic music for more than a decade. Fusing elements from Ambient and Electro-Acoustic Composition with carefully arranged digital textures and associative micro-noises, the label's aesthetics revolve around a precisely-outlined, yet deeply emotional concoction of the technological and the organic. Eschewing the typical marketing mechanisms of the commercial music industry, Deupree has sculpted a platform whose influence today extends well beyond the confinements of the experimental community. 12k's integral approach, in which the label's instantly recognizable, elegantly spartan artwork enters into an inseparable symbiosis with the music, has created a timeless audiovisual language respected and appreciated all over the world.
