Minimally Viable Music - since being diagnosed with tinnitus my hearing, and my concept of music, has become affected by the additional sounds I hear...it colors what I hear, how I hear, and what I compose. This project represents the minimal viable music I hear when I take a walk in the woods, when I walk on a crowded city street, or when I perform or record my own music.

My submission to the Disquiet Junto Project 0530 with the assignment: "Make the thing you think is the minimum viable music".
I like the elements of my music to have some connection, so three notes to make a chord would have been nice, but only two notes to make a melody is even better. No edits, no fancy timbres (the sounds are sinewaves), no interesting rhythms, the clock even runs at the default speed of 120bpm. But still I recognise this as music. It even sounds like a good ending, because the notes play a cadence.

Minimally Viable Music

The sound in this track is from a sine wave oscillator, sent through a self-oscillating low pass filter and then into a reverb. As the track progresses, the filter and oscillator are modulated by several LFOs, a CV joystick, and a CV sequencer. The minimalistic sine wave tones and rhythms at the beginning evolve toward the edge of chaos before settling back into minimalism.

Performed on a modular synth using Dixie II+, Ripples (og), Ochd, Batumi, Planar 2, SPO, Quadratt, Pamela's New Workout, Mimetic Digitalis, and Desmodus Versio.

Disquiet Junto Project 0529: Squared Off

Make the thing you think is the minimum viable music.

Major thanks to Saga Söderback for having come up with this project.


I considered what "Minimum viable music" means to me.

For me, musicality has always linked directly to musicianship. A great practitioner of their instrument has great musicianship, and great musicianship opens the path to great musicality. Musicality then breeds music.

So in a quest to go minimal, I took the road of a single C2 note from a Juno synth (TAL Uno LX) -a square wave oscillator, everything open. Nothing easier than hitting a note! 
Then I sent the audio from that single note, looped at 134 BPM, into a load of effect tracks, comprising reverbs, delays, pitch shifters, overdrive distortions, and digital degradation effects units.

I wanted to expose my love for effect units. Nothing but a C2 on a Juno was used here. Musicianship is minimised fully - musicality comes from performance of 'effects', not of 'instruments'. Set up and play the effect units in a digital DAW. Minimum Viable Musicianship....

Tal Uno LX, Wave H-Reverb, Eventide Little Plate, Surreal Machines Diffuse and Modnetic, Eventide Little Alter Boy, Eventide Effect Rack x3, Tritik Moodal x2, Replika XT x3, Glitchmachines Fracture XT x2, Sonic Charge Permut8. A shade of feedback here and there!

Thanks for listening...
