Disquiet Junto Project 0613: Test Drive
The Assignment: Do something you’ve been meaning to do.
Step 1: Think of something related to making music that you’ve been meaning to finally get around to.
Step 2: Do it. Don’t worry about messing up.

Hello everybody. I had fun again with this one :)
When I read the assignment, I thought I should do a track with drums as I never use them in my music.
Then the track evolved into something beat-like and I went on https://www.looperman.com/ to find an a cappella track to add to it. “Snakes” by KMRS sort of matched the music (there are some rhythmic imperfections though, I know…). So here it is: my first rap beat.
I really enjoy this group for pushing me to do things musically I wouldn’t do otherwise! Nicolas.

On today's episode Walter Smolarek and Prof. Richard Wolff discuss the dramatic new report from the IMF showing that 40 percent of all jobs in the world could be impacted by the introduction of Artificial Intelligence. Fears are deepening about mass unemployment, exploding inequality, and other potential consequences of the integration of this new technology into the world capitalist system.

Professor Richard Wolff is an author & co-founder of the organization Democracy at Work. You can find his work at rdwolff.com.

No Matter What Disquiet0630

I chose to use some of the tools I've been working with on the recent tours and to keep it short simple and dirty. Tools were 3

1) Mothhunter mods "The Tapeworm" (variable speed modded cassette player with working radio, fucking awesome thing replacing the long lost radio shack variable sped cassette players we used to use circa 1984) 
https://www.mothhuntermods.com/mods/the-tapeworm
tell him I sent you :)
in this I used one Barbara Streisand cassette as source.
2) tape fed into the barely functioning Maneco Microlooper (I waited years for it to arrive..maybe 2008?) its a beautiful beast but finicky fun
3) looper (with on board filtering) feeds in to Eventide H90.
direct to Recorder. 3 single takes of noisey music decomposition.

The Assignment: Count your tools in advance of employing them.
This project was proposed by Alex (aka XHG) from Switzerland, who also drew the cover image.

Step 1: The first thing to do is to set a limit. Specifically, you will determine — in advance — how many pieces of equipment or software you will need to produce and record a satisfactory piece of music. Think through what you want to record and what it might take.

Step 2: Now, decide upon a suitable number of items. It is suggested to count DAWs or AU-hosts and each used plugin individually (e.g., the iOS/iPadOS app AUM plus 3 Audio Units = 4 items). In advance of recording, count each piece of equipment and/or software you intend to use for recording. Come up with a total number.

Step 3: Now, produce a piece of music using the amount of equipment you decided on in Step 2. You can use fewer pieces of equipment but no more.
