Pantoclast + R.S.Stropharia + A.Schwarzer - Found In The Dark Ground - Live Impro-Set (06.03.2020)

This week's Disquiet Junto assignment was to make something using samples of birds and rain and using the Samplebrain software. I used field recordings from my visits to Delaware and made connections using the "brain" of a certain iconic breakbeat. I hit record and then improvised by adjusting the Samplebrain parameters. 

I did a tiny bit of editing (and a LOT of audio processing) in Ableton afterward.

Second Nature (disquiet0609)

SonicLab just released Oceanic, a software that allows for the sonification and simulation of ocean waves. Think of up to five currents that generate waves and some buoys that rise and fall with them. To better hear how the system influences itself, the effect of the waves are mapped to pitch and pan changes.

I performed with its sound generation tools, keeping the slow and steady ebb and flow primarily intact. Oh, and the title is the percentage of salt in the ocean.

Disquiet Junto Project 0611: Music That Listens to Itself

The Assignment: Record a piece of music that repurposes itself as it proceeds.

Background: On September 29, 2023, there is going to be an event at a place called the Berkeley Alembic, in Berkeley, California, where I’ll play recordings of music that share a specific theme, and I’ll discuss the sounds with the people who come to listen. The event is titled Music That Listens to Itself, part of the Expanded Listening series developed by Erik Davis (Techgnosis, Burning Shore). That is the theme. Part of the goal of this project is to develop tracks for potential inclusion in the event, and to pursue ideas related to the event’s theme.

Step 1: The underlying idea is to produce music that, so to speak, listens to itself. This would be music that employs techniques to revisit itself — repurposes itself — as it proceeds. From reverb to echo to tape loops to granular synthesis to accessing a buffer, various techniques serve such a compositional and performance purpose. Consider a means to achieve this result.

Step 2: Record a piece of music that employs the technique you focused on as a result of Step 1. Please note: for the Berkeley Alembic event, I’ll be sharing music that is particularly quiet, particularly appropriate to a meditative state of mind. You don’t need to record quiet music for this project, but quiet music is what I’ll be playing at the event.

No Construction Is Whole (2022) | Michele Abondano

The recorder playing on this piece is by @kate-gallaher and there is violin from @stellato-strings

This is my response to this week's @naviar-records haiku challenge. Here's the details about that:

'The first thunder
Is likely to shake
The tiered doll stand.'

Like Santoka and Seisensui, Kawahigashi Hekigoto (1873-1937) was an important advocate of the free verse haiku.
Besides being a writer and critic of haiku, Hekigoto was a literary scholar, noh dancer, art critic, calligrapher, social commentator, and mountain climber.
