Part 2 of a 3 part Disquiet Junto collaboration.

I loved the grooving drum track created last week by creaturesOnce. I added a bass line in Ableton, in F minor and B♭ minor, letting the structure of the drum track lead the way. It's ready for someone to play a mid to high range melody or chord jam on top.

Duo Magic - Disquiet0526

My contribution to Magic Number 2 of 3 for J. Benjamin Niemi's January 21 Look Again. I ran his track through Mutable Beads and did three live takes manipulating the Density, Time, and Size by hand, then editing out what I didn't like. His original track is on the left, my track is on the right.

Listing Queasy [disquiet 0526] with Moray Newlands
This track is part of the second step of Disquiet Junto 0526: Magic Number (2 of 3)

The Assignment: Record the second third of an asynchronous trio.
This week you’ll be adding music to a pre-existing track, which you will source from the previous week’s Junto project (disquiet.com/0525). Note that you aren’t creating a duet — you’re creating the second third of what will eventually be a trio. 
This track adds a quintet of loosely time guitar parts to Moray Newlands track Roughly in C.

There is also a shimmer reverb applied to get the two parts a little more gelled. The aim was to build on the vibe of the detuned violins.

The Assignment: Record the second third of an asynchronous trio.

Step 1: This week’s Disquiet Junto project is the second in a sequence intended to encourage and reward asynchronous collaboration. This week you’ll be adding music to a pre-existing track, which you will source from the previous week’s Junto project (disquiet.com/0525). Note that you aren’t creating a duet — you’re creating the second third of what will eventually be a trio. Important: Leave space for what is yet to come.

Liquid hats and coats (Duet with Zedkah) - disquiet0526

Added a little guitar part to Lazenbeeindustries pad! It's played in the "A Phrygian Dominant" mode. I only used 1/3 of the original track, however.

I've never used this mode before, it was fun to toy around with!

Disquiet Junto Project 0526: Magic Number (2 of 3)

The Assignment: Record the second third of an asynchronous trio.

Step 1: This week’s Disquiet Junto project is the second in a sequence intended to encourage and reward asynchronous collaboration. This week you’ll be adding music to a pre-existing track, which you will source from the previous week’s Junto project (disquiet.com/0525). Note that you aren’t creating a duet — you’re creating the second third of what will eventually be a trio. Important: Leave space for what is yet to come.

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 the pre-existing track. First, however, you must select the piece of music to which you will be adding your own music. There are tracks by numerous musicians to choose from. The majority are in this playlist:

soundcloud.com/disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0525 8

And additional appear in the discussion:

llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-pr…agic-number-1-of-3/

(Note that it’s possible another track or two will pop up in or disappear from that playlist and discussion. Things are fluid on the internet.)

To select a track, you can listen through all those and choose one, or simply look around and select, or you can come up with a random approach to sifting through them.

Note: It’s fine if more than one person uses the same original track as the basis for their piece.

It is strongly encouraged that you look through the above discussion on the Lines forum, because many tracks include additional contextual information there.

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, and leave room for an eventual third piece of music. When composing and recording your part, don’t alter the original piece of music at all, except to pan the original fully to the left if it hasn’t been panned left already. In your finished audio track, your new part should be panned fully to the right. 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.

Step 4: Also be sure, when done, to make the finished track downloadable, because it will be used by someone else in a subsequent Junto project.

Step 5: You can contribute more than one track this week. Usually Junto projects have a one-track-per-participant limit. You can do up to two total. For the second, it’s appreciated if you try to work with a solo that no one else has used yet ( look at the project’s post on Lines, linked to in these instructions, or to the project playlist, which will be posted here once tracks start coming in). The goal is for many as people as possible to benefit from the experience of being part of an asynchronous collaboration. After a lot of detailed instruction, that is the spirit of this project.

Disquiet Junto Project 0527: Magic Number (3 of 3)

The Assignment: Complete an asynchronous trio begun by two other musicians.

Step 1: This week’s Disquiet Junto project is the third in a sequence that encourages and rewards 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/0526). Note that you are finishing a trio — you’re creating the third part of what two previous musicians began. Please keep this in mind.

Step 2: The plan is for you to record an 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 tracks by numerous musicians to choose from. The majority are in this playlist:

https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0526 2

And additional tracks appear in the discussion:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0526-magic-number-2-of-3/

Step 3: Record a 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, and it should be placed dead center between the left and right stereo channels. When composing and recording your part, do not alter the original piece of music at all. 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.

Step 4: Also be sure, when done, to make the finished track downloadable, because it may be used by someone else in a subsequent Junto project.

Step 5: As with last week, you can contribute more than one track this week. You can do up to two total. If you choose to do a second, you should preferably try to use a duet track that no one else has used yet. The goal is for many as people as possible to benefit from the experience of being part of an asynchronous collaboration. After a lot of detailed instruction, that is the spirit of this project.

Eight Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0527” (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 “disquiet0527” (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 track in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0527-magic-number-3-of-3/

Step 5: Annotate your track 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.

Step 8: Also join in the discussion on the Disquiet Junto Slack. Send your email address to marc@disquiet.com for Slack inclusion.

Disquiet0527 Dead center. With Dan Simpson & J. Benjamin Niemi

Disquiet Junto Project 0527: Magic Number (3 of 3)
The Assignment: Complete an asynchronous trio begun by two other musicians.

After finishing my first virtual trio of disquiet0527 I went on listening to the duo tracks.

When I arrived at https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz/about-the-sun by  https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz, based on https://soundcloud.com/melondruie/cold-sun-disquiet0525 by https://soundcloud.com/melondruie, I was instantly drawn to it.

I started improvising some motives on the first evening and nothing fitted. DeDe had already added so much life to melondruies already hypnotic track, my contribution seemed simply pathetic and poor. So I buried the idea of this trio, decided to sell my musical instruments and watched Netflix.

The day after the cold sun shined and I tried it again – and somehow with a lot of improvised things and a lot of snipping work I think it’s endurable.

A Trio with Fake Genius and Isonomnia, thanks for the inspiration!

https://soundcloud.com/fake-genius/disquiet0525-dm-stereo

I started by listening to last weeks tunes whilst driving to the local store, I started singing along with Birds Sing In The Trees, by the time I got behind a microphone later that night, the exact words had disappeared, yet the bones of the melody could be recalled, I did 5 layers of vocals, 1st take for each, during the recording I was thinking of an image seen that day of men hunting grouse with big guns and how birds are not safe in this human world. A little bit of editing and some mixing mainly with various console channel emulations with a bit of extra saturation, then finding the best balance with the bed track.
