Water Memory began as an imagination of the feelings that are floating through the natural world around us. It morphed and cycled and gained memories of my own which are now contained like those in all bodies.

Disquiet Junto Project 0317: Triadic Awareness
The Assignment: Record the third part of a trio, adding to a pre-existing track of two parts.

It was hard to not to use the combination of Lacosapreziosa – Moving-chairs and riskware - Second Chair. It was almost a shame to add to this combination its already wonderful. For my part I wanted to quietly suggest another layer of harmony, two simple motifs through a bunch of effects, hopefully adding a little more to the environment.

APOB - Conversation, Now Over (With Lacosapreziosa and riskware) [disquiet0317]

This track is part of the Disquiet Junto Project 317: Triadic Awareness -- the assignment was to record the third part of a trio, adding to a pre-existing track of two parts.

I chose the track Climbing on the Wave, a collaboration between Euclidean~~~ and Ethan Hein https://soundcloud.com/user-970962304/climbing-on-the-wavedisquiet0316?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0316-el, which built on Ethan Hein's track from the previous week, First Chair At The Wave Table https://soundcloud.com/ethanhein/first-chair-at-the-wavetable-disquiet0315.

I added a mix of three field recordings: a boy flying a drone plane, birds at Joyce Kilmer forest in western NC, and an elevator in London.  The recordings were played on an iPad using Borderlands Granular and captured and mixed using AUM.

Disquiet Junto Project 0317: Triadic Awareness
The Assignment: Record the third part of a trio, adding to a pre-existing track of two parts.

Step 1: This week’s Disquiet Junto project is the third 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/0316). Note that you are finishing a trio — you’re creating the third part of what two previous musicians created. 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 a pre-existing track. First, however, you must select the piece of music to which you will be adding your own music. There are 56 tracks in all to choose from, 54 as part of this playlist:

https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0316-el

And then the 55th is a video by Bassling (aka Jason Richardson), in asynchronous collaboration with Benn DeMole:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnFXRlCCKL4

And the 56th is Samarobryn (interestingly based in Australia, as is Richardson), in asynchronous collaboration with jwhiles:

https://samarobryn.bandcamp.com/track/the-mutable-truth-disquiet0316

To select a track, you can listen through all that and choose one, or you can use a random number generator to select a number from 1 to 56, the first 54 being numbered in the above SoundCloud playlist, and 55 being the Bassling/DeMole track, and 56 being the Samarobryn/jwhiles. (Note: it’s 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. It should fit both sonically and compositionally between the two parts that constitute the pre-existing track. When composing and recording your part, do not alter the original piece of music at all. In your finished audio track, your part should be panned center. 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. It will be a trio.

Step 4: Also be sure, when done, to make the finished track downloadable, because that is the nature of share-alike licenses in the Creative Commons, and also because there may yet be more projects in this sequence.

Background: The title of this project, “Triadic Awareness,” comes from an idea I learned about when I was reading a book by Frans de Waal, the primate scientist. The concept correlates nicely with such ideas as “ambient awareness” and “parallel productivity” that have long been underlying concepts in the Disquiet Junto projects.

Six More Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0317” (no spaces or quotation marks) in the name of your track.

Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag “disquiet0317” (no spaces or quotation marks). If you’re posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to subsequent location of tracks for the creation a project playlist.

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

Step 4: Please consider posting your track in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0317-triadic-awareness/11271/

Step 5: Annotate your track with a brief explanation of your approach and process. Be sure to name the track to which you’ve added music and the name of the two musicians who recorded it, and include a link to it.

Step 6: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

First Junto!

Made for Disquiet Junto Project 0317: Triadic Awareness
The Assignment: Record the third part of a trio, adding to a pre-existing track of two parts.

Recorded some click drum set sounds, added delays, manipulated a grain delay object in Ableton. Was going for sweeping, ascending gestures made as the track played. Then I took a short “shh” sample from freesound.org (https://freesound.org/people/margo_heston/sounds/193312/) and made a little “instrument” of transposed and warped version of that clip, which I also layered onto the track.
