Tidings of Transfiguration

[disquiet0557] Tidings of Transfiguration

A table by the sea and the condensation water of some bottles have left their mark. I like that. 

I interpreted the score as follows:

1. first, I see grains of sand on a surface. The grains suggest - simply put - a granular treatment of a pad or surface. 
2. the circles reminded me of the loop representation of the loopy app. So I recorded four loops. Wherever two "grooves" were visible, I played two notes, otherwise, I used just one; the fatter a groove, the greater the amplitude. I used Bardzo, Pigments, and SQ80-V. 
3. I ignored the fifth circle discreetly because it didn't fit into the piece anymore. Shame on me. 

First, the "table" (drone) starts, then the bottles (loops) are introduced with one time each. Once all four have played twice, they are removed again, until the piece ends.

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

A combined play on a Brian Eno phrase and a John Cage visual motif is pretty much foundational Disquiet Junto territory. This week, interpret this image as a graphic score:

Eight Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0557” (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 “disquiet0557” (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-0557-condensation-is-a-form-of-change/

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.

Note: Please post one track for this weekly Junto project. If you choose to post more than one, and do so on SoundCloud, please let me know which you’d like added to the playlist. Thanks.

Additional Details:

Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, September 5, 2022, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, September 1, 2022.

Length: The length is up to you.

Title/Tag: When posting your tracks, please include “disquiet0557” in the title of the tracks, and where applicable (on SoundCloud, for example) as a tag.

Upload: When participating in this project, be sure to include a description of your process in planning, composing, and recording it. This description is an essential element of the communicative process inherent in the Disquiet Junto. Photos, video, and lists of equipment are always appreciated.

Download: It is always best to set your track as downloadable and allowing for attributed remixing (i.e., a Creative Commons license permitting non-commercial sharing with attribution, allowing for derivatives).

For context, when posting the track online, please be sure to include this following information:

Four on a Beach  [disquiet0557]

i used samplebrain, searching for 'rain beat' on freesound, found this:
https://freesound.org/people/tictac9/sounds/530585/
and used it as a 'target sound'(since it was tagged 'rain' it fit the disquiet project's instructions), and used other sounds tagged 'rain', 'night', and 'bird'(which were more like sound-design/field-recordings:
"237729__flathill__rain-and-thunder-4"
"339326__inspectorj__bird-whistling-a"
"352514__inspectorj__ambience-night-wildlife-a"
"531947__straget__the-rain-falls-against-the-parasol") for the 'brain contents' of samplebrain..

This track was inspired by this great prompt and two outdoor lounge chairs covered with lichen - I can't seem to bring myself to get rid of them, they really have developed a beautiful covering that continues to grow - apparently, species of all types are entitled to lounge in the sun.  A series of instruments make up this drone piece, some software from Spitfire and guitar pedalled through Hors d'Oeuvre?, Meet Maude and Mercury7.

Taking Satie's use of short repetitions, I went outdoors, in the London rain, to the bar close by where I live. There is an indoors dressing table with plants growing out of it on the street (pictured) and I recorded 20 second clips tapping and wiping the rain off the surfaces. I then cut these into shorter clips and repeated to make a rhythm, and took a tiny clip and stretched it out long so as the overtones are foregrounded.

And this is my response to this wee's Disquiet Junto prompt. More on this 566th weekly Disquiet Junto project – Outdoor Furniture Music (The Assignment: Imagine the ur-ambient Erik Satie musique d’ameublement concept en plein air) – at: https://disquiet.com/0566/
