A series based on https://soundcloud.com/tuonela-1/space-frame-disquiet-0226 - rather than number or order the tracks, I have named most of them after patents filed by R. Buckminster Fuller, the inspiration behind that particular disquiet assignment.

"I’ve often heard people say: ‘I wonder what it would feel like to be on board a spaceship,’ and the answer is very simple. What does it feel like? That’s all we have ever experienced. We are all astronauts on a little spaceship called Earth." - R. Buckminster Fuller

Spaceship Earth

 In 1964 R. Buckminster Fuller patented a method of designing buildings using, in effect, reverse suspension. He used the term "Aspension".

Instead of hanging "down" (in), the components hang "up" (out)! This method cuts weight & costs & makes the structure earthquake resistant.

“Dear reader, traditional human power structures and their reign of darkness are about to be rendered obsolete.”
― R. Buckminster Fuller, 'Cosmography: A Posthumous Scenario for the Future of Humanity'

No time like the future

Tensegrity or tensional integrity is a property of structures with an integrity based on a balance between tension and compression components. The idea has been applied to a broad range of phenomena from philosophy to cellular mechanics. 


"Tensegrity" was coined by Fuller, though the definition of the word and the set of concepts to which it refers is subject to some passionate debate.

Not a fractal! 

This track is based around a recording I made of my street being paved last year. Other recordings: a dog collar, insect chorus, birds and ambient noise behind a strip mall, and breath, all looped and mixed in Ableton Live. I wasn't sure how to structure it, so I picked up an Oblique Strategies card (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblique_Strategies) and it said "Repetition is a form of change", so I ran with it. 

This is for the Disquiet Junto #257, Remember Noisevember.

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. ~ Aldous Huxley

All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it. ~ Jean Cocteau

All music is beautiful. ~ Billy Strayhorn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've become addicted to drone. Again. I was the kid with his head on the piano, listening to the overtones die away, or pressing his ear to the steel hull of the ferry, enthralled by the sounds it created. I was the kid who formed wordless songs to accompany the sound of train wheels on a long journey, or hummed along with the fan on a hot day.

In the 60s I used to play my 45s on 16, or backwards, or by hand using razor blades as stylii.

I made cut-up tapes on a cheap cassette recorder in the 70s and experimented with reel-to-reel in the 80s. 

Thank you Subotnick, Lygeti, Coltrane, Jimi, Mimaroglu, Eno, Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, Throbbing Gristle...

I am not a musician. I am a scavenger of sounds. I use the most basic software to process those sounds, stretching and filtering until something emerges that makes a joyful noise. Or not...
