Is this somewhere over the rainbow in here? Wow. I love it.

All the samples are from http://inbflat.net/ and I just put them together in a way that sounds good to me. It's pretty hard to make something that sounds bad from that website though :)

Engage Duo (disquiet0368)

I used https://soundcloud.com/jesuisgentil/spoons-disquiet0367 as the track on which to base the new composition on. It features two soft synths playing arpeggios with automation to give them movement. I used a random number generator to find the spoons track. Really happy with it.

Disquiet Junto Project 0368: Engage Duo
The Assignment: Record the second third of a trio, adding to a pre-existing track.

Step 1: This week’s Disquiet Junto project is the second in a sequence that explores and encourages asynchronous collaboration. This week you will be adding music to a pre-existing track, which you will source from the previous week’s Junto project (disquiet.com/0367). Note that you aren’t creating a duet — you’re creating the second third of what will eventually be a trio. Keep this in mind.

Step 2: The plan is for you to record a short and original piece of music, on any instrumentation of your choice, as a complement to the pre-existing track. First, however, you must select the piece of music to which you will be adding your own music. There are more than 40 tracks to choose from, almost all of them in this playlist:

https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0367

And at least one more is available as part of a video in this discussion thread from last week:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0367-trio-initiate/

To select a track, you can listen through all that and choose one, or you can use a random number generator. (Note: it’s perfectly fine if more than one person uses the same original track as the basis for their piece.)

Step 3: Record a short piece of music, roughly the length of the piece of music you selected in Step 2. Your track should complement the piece from Step 2, and leave room for an eventual third piece of music. When composing and recording your part, do not alter the original piece of music at all, except to pan the original fully to the left. In your finished audio track, your part should be panned fully to the right. To be clear: the track you upload won’t be your piece of music alone; it will be a combination of the track from Step 2 and yours.

The second week of a three-week Disquiet Junto collaboration project. I used the random number generator at random.org to select OHELEM's electric sitar drone track from last week. I added synthesized choir voices to continue the hypnotic meditative feel.

Trio the Second

Trio The Second - Disquiet0368

This track is part of the Disquiet Junto Project #0368. The objective of this step of the project is to choose another participant's musical submission from last week and record an additional accompaniment, with the idea that there will be one more addition next week. The new part is intended to be panned hard right.

Wind in the Lavender (Disquiet0368)

Existing track was already perfect but I could hear a piano slowly fading in, so that's what I added. 
I just made a simple repeated piano part using a VST piano - The Maverick (Native Instruments). I cut the highs and lows and put it in mono to try to leave space for everything. 
Added a VHS effect (AfroDJMac)to everything to make it feel nice and floating...

disquiet0369 Spooning underwater w/ TOTAL ENERGY & GENTIL

Sounds captured during several walks around lockdown Manhattan during the COVID-19 crisis in March 2020. Birds, sirens, ebbs and flows, does the city sound like a sea in parts? and a stray accordionist with Lara's Theme somewhere across the park. An oil tank truck struggles to reengage after stopping near the hospital, fossil fuel memories surging into the present.

This piece premiered as part of "Radio Free Plague Ship" Audio Zine (https://secretvenue.org/events/plagueship) on April 17, 2020.

PROCESS:
@nofi was one of my first followers on SoundCloud from the Junto (I started with #0004). Over the last year, I admired and absorbed a lot of his work and we shared laughs a few times on Twitter. I feel lucky to have had even the most cursory electronic interaction with him.

All sound waves propagate forever, so when you play or perform the music of someone who's passed, you help them ride their own waves into the great beyond. I love this week's project for doing this.

This section of Jeffery's performance flashed me back to "Mercy Street," and I had thought to create some kind-of looking-glass instrumental version of that track out of his, but I only got through one line. Still, the title here is a reference to the last line of that song.

As I vamped, Jeffrey's piece ended up pulling me into some quiet changes and arriving me at an inside-out minor-key'd quotation of "Over The Rainbow" (even swtiching out my plectrum for an eBow between phrases). In the end, for better or worse, in a track where @nofi eventually quotes Michael Jackson, I answered with Peter Gabriel and Harold Arlen. Nothing/Everything/Something made sense.

RIG:
Jolie (Peekamoose-customized cherry-red Gibson ES-335 Dot reissue), Ibanez Tube Screamer TS808, tc electronic flashback delay/looper, eBow, Line6 POD-XT (Marshall JCM 800 amp emulator with vintage plate reverb, Fender '65 Twin Reverb tremolo and ping-pong delay), MOTU 828mk2, Sony Acid 

PROJECT:
This week’s project is a tribute to the late Jeffrey Melton, the talented musician, best known on SoundCloud and Twitter as @nofi. Melton passed away a few days ago, on March 30, in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where he lived with his wife and seven-year-old son. He was 42. Melton had been involved with the Disquiet Junto since the very first Junto project, back in January 2012, and he early on volunteered to create a Twitter list of the handles of participating Junto members.

The theme of this project, the 66th in the weekly Disquiet Junto series, is “posthumous collaboration”: communing through music.

These are the steps:

Step 1: Download the following live session of Jeffrey Melton performing. It was recorded in June of last year. (Warning: it’s fairly sizable, at over 350 MBs):
nofi.org/media/2012-06-15-Unwind-live-session.mp3

Step 2: Select a segment of between 2 and 5 minutes.

Step 3: Set the opening of your track to fade in.

Step 4: Set the ending of your track to cut out suddenly.

Step 5: Listen to it several times, to get to know it.

Step 6: Record yourself performing live along with the segment you have selected. Any instrumentation is fine. Just no voice. Be sure to play alone for approximately 10 seconds after Melton’s perfor---
