Disquiet Junto Project 0557: Condensation Is a Form of Change
The Assignment: Interpret a graphic score that depicts four phases.

I didn't want to understand the picture as a kind of timeline to be read from left to right. From the beginning I felt the urge for simultaneity, as it is inherent in images. I saw four or five elements, of which the lower/left one is incomprehensible, condensing on a background and perhaps disappearing again like stains from a coffee cup.

With that in mind, I started playing around in Live, mostly with samplers like DecentSampler, Soundpaint, and Spitfire Labs, and a lot of destructive FX. I wanted to achieve the mysteriousness that I felt myself when I looked at the image. The only discernible motif kind of emerged as I played around, it was actually too clear to me, but then I didn't want to go without it.

Disquiet Junto Project 0572: Rhythm Kit
The Assignment: Make a beat that someone else will add to.

Note: This project is the first of a two-parter. You don’t need to participate in both, and you can easily participate in the second one (next week) even if you don’t participate in the first one.

Instruction: Record a beat with the intension that someone other than yourself will add something to it at a later date. It’s preferable that you record something that lasts between one and three minutes, but it’s also fine to record something shorter with the intention that someone will loop it — or something longer, for that matter.

Track notes:

I always like when one of the more beat-oriented prompts comes up because it gets me to think about rhythm tools, which I'm fairly inconsistent with. 

I thought I would would use my modular synth to generate the beat starting with a trio of samplers triggered by dividing and multiplying clock dividers. The resulting three samples are then routed through some signal manipulation: a wasp filter, stereo delay and Make Noise Morphagene. I also had some fun with a sample and hold which controls the pitch CV of one of the samples.

I found this old discarded beat on my computer with not much memory of creating it. According to the file stamp its from November 2020. Think I'd been reading Pynchon's Mason and Dixon around the time which is why its called "Hsi and Ho"

Image came from the prompt: "hsi and ho in a pynchon fever dream" given to Nightcafe

Rhythm Kit (disquiet0572)

This track was inspired by the Disquiet Junto Project 0572 (details see below): Make a beat that someone else will add to.

I dedided to create a beat mainly based on the sounds of nature - especially all that can be heard in the forest. The forest rhythm is accompanied by some percussive piano sounds and dark ambiances - to enhance the magic of the forest and all it can give to the attentive visitor.

Forest Beats  (Disquiet0572)

Vocals: Kris "Halo" Pierce and Elaine Kristin.

(your kiss puts a bullet through my head
you touch puts a bullet through( my head
your fear puts a bullet through my head)

I long for a little tenderness
A little sweet caress
A token moral regress
I long for more than this empty bottle
For a glimpse of togetherness
But all I have is a pile of regrets

My head

(your kiss) Sends a bullet right through my head
(your touch) Sends a bullet right through my head
(your fear) Sends a bullet right through my head
(your sex) Sends a bullet right through my head
My head
