Boson Spin - Floating in the breeze [naviarhaiku350]

"Boxes" is my tenth yearly Disquiet Junto recording of ice in a glass and making something of it.

This year, I used some ice from my driveway in a small glass.  The rattling was recorded by my old Zoom H2, run through my new Empress Echosystem on some setting, and then sent over to my Empress Reverb for further processing, and out to my Tascam DR-05.

I was rattling it in one hand and "live tweaking" settings with the other.  I don't know what selections I was using on either box for this recording.  I made quite a few short variations, but I liked this one the most as it starts out super muted and ends with a recognizable sound.

The Empress boxes are outstanding.  I've had the Reverb for a little over two years and can't imagine making sounds without it.  I'll never sell it.  I got the Echosystem recently, and the two together are something else.

Orange Man Circles The Drain (disquiet0471)

This is made from snippets of a one minute sample of ice in a glass. Though some effects are applied all sounds are included as sampled (with minor EQ in mix) and represent the original material fairly faithfully. The result is purely rhythmic and textural rather than containing any melody or harmony.

Crushed Ice (disquiet0471)

disquiet0471 ice tune

Made as part of the disquiet 0471 - making a piece out of just samples of ice cubes which I recorded 2 years ago in Amsterdam. I don't know what those ice cubes are up to these days, I suspect they gave up and melted.

Trassel (disquiet0475) by Geoffroy, Evan Hartzell and Tsa Tse

I sat down at my computer shorty after 9pm UK time. I was thinking of making some music but wasn't sure what to work on... I have a few things I am working on but nothing lept out at me and demanded my attention. An email pops up... Disquiet Junto 0476. 
It's been ages since I took part and this seemed perfect... 
I went with the flow with this one... I went with some foggy sounding synth and pulled out an old field recording from the A11 dual carrageway by the Norfolk / Suffolk border. I let the field recording play and just improvised some synth at once over the top. I recorded that in 1 take and then went to the arrangement. 
I added a drum rack - an effect on the whole thing... making a nice dubby slow rhythm. It picks up a level or two and I added some other elements of synth and ambience. It was quick and simple to make. This was a good fun experiement to do.  

This weeks instructions are as follows;

Disquiet Junto Project 0476: IAH Forecast

The Assignment: Here’s your next single’s cover. Now record it.

Step 1: This is the cover of your next single:
IMG_20210209_070546_260
IMG_20210209_070546_2603096×3096 851 KB

Step 2: Now record your single.

Note: The photo was shot in Houston, Texas, by Robert Boyd and is used with his permission.

Seven More Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0476” (no spaces or quotation marks) in the name of your tracks.

Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag “disquiet0476” (no spaces or quotation marks). If you’re posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to subsequent location of tracks for the creation of a project playlist.

Step 3: Upload your tracks. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your tracks.

Step 4: Post your tracks in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0476-iah-forecast/

Step 5: Annotate your tracks with a brief explanation of your approach and process.

Step 6: If posting on social media, please consider using the hashtag #disquietjunto so fellow participants are more likely to locate your communication.

Step 7: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Forecast [disquiet0476]

I sat in the dark with my eyes closed whilst stroking the touch plate of my Plinky synth with the output unmonitored. The audio, pitch and touch output were sent into a migraine inducing spaghetti nest of switches, dividers, envelopes and switch registers ttiggering randomly assigned voice outputs.
I ran the resulting audio file into delay and reverb to smooth out some of the jarring modulations and slowed the playback down a bit to make it less fidgety.

E. Piano Radio Codes (disquiet0479)

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.
