great guitar washes, love it. did you use valhalla?

always great to hear a guitar in the junto!! sounds like i'm floating in the sky (Big Sky?!) and those tiny 'chirping' sounds out in the right channel are fun - now, i can only think about them being birds...

This makes me feel like I'm wafting through a mystical forest of memory. Lovely and sweet.

Disquiet Junto Project 0515: Talking Cure
The Assignment: Write music for a psychotherapist’s waiting room.

Step 1. Imagine that you are about to consult a therapist. You are sitting in the waiting room of his/her/their office.

Step 2. Picture some comfortable chairs, abstract artworks on the wall, and some large plants in the corners of the room. The perfect music for this moment is playing out of a high quality, vintage-looking speaker. You are ready for your appointment.

Step 3. Create a piece of music that you imagine hearing in this situation. The duration of the piece is up to you. If you are OK with your work potentially being excerpted, please license it with a CC license that permits derivative works (i.e., any CC license that does not include ND, “no derivative works”).

Background: Selected results from this assignment will be included in the soundtrack of an experimental video series The Talking Cure, currently being produced by visual artists The Big Conversation Space. The Talking Cure will be projected in the group exhibition The Real Show at the contemporary art museum CAC Brétigny, France from January through April 2022 and broadcast on YouTube. The video series will also feature the Disquiet Junto through interviews with Marc Weidenbaum and other Disquiet Junto participants and supporters. The Junto participants whose work is included will be credited by name in the videos.

artist: DesuExSounds https://soundcloud.com/freej-255201882
album: Figments (NR015)
release date: 10th September 2021
duration: 39 minutes
edition: digital + CD

How we recall, 
how Emotions imprint in us, 
the sound of mother Nature, 
the big City, 
our Loneliness, 
our struggles, 
the Voice that soothe our pain, 
the Voice that fuels our Dreams, 
to conquer the Past and reach 
for the Summit, 
Our best. 
to Sail, 
with Hope, 
into the Unknown. 


Figments is an introspective journey depicted through ethereal soundscapes: personal experiences that define us yet result from intimate contemplation that little has to do with objective experience. 

In concert, mind and surroundings create a new world, where the boundaries between reality and abstraction seem feeble, non-existent. Field recordings make way for subtle ambient layers: a metaphor of the world being absorbed and reinterpreted by our consciousness. What’s left is a path made of memory, experience, feelings that become the compass that guides us through the intricacies of life. 

Like waves, perpetual melodies break through the veil of reality and force us to look within, question ourselves and what defines us. 

Figments is a celebration of the inner voice, the one that can shape reality so that we can live within its boundaries while being truly, unquestionably ourselves. 

About the artist: 

A "homegrown" of Naviar's community, Constantin Blu, aka DesuExSounds, started producing ambient and soundscapes by picking up the Naviar's Haiku challenge almost four years ago to explore and develop creativity through music as a tool for self-knowledge and interaction. Previously just a passion, Constantin has co-authored musical projects for dance and theatre in the Bucharest scene with friends who have a special home town in common: Onesti. "Figments" is the first ambient solo album that coagulates this journey, reflects the personal bond, and draws inspiration from Naviar's artistic ethos.

You Lied [disquiet0515]

For "Bardominium", I wanted a sound reminiscent of a Marpac Dohm noise machine, but with vague extras.  

This is the 40 second version.

To achieve this, I combined sections of tracks by my side group Aleodeology.  These tracks are titled "Aleodeological Travel", "Industrial Terminal", and "Significant Mallets".  I also mixed in a bunch of homemade loops created from the Korg IMS-20 iPad app .

I was recording ebow guitar today so did this jam, guitar, upright bass, ebow guitar, synths.
it was pure "free association", just played whatever came to my mind on top of the previous tracks.

"The voice may well be the key to the presence of the present and to an unalloyed interiority, but it conceals in its bosom that inaudible object voice which disrupts both. (...) This object embodies the very impossibility of attaining auto-affection; it introduces a scission, a rupture in the middle of the full presence, and refers it to a void—but a void which is not simply a lack, an empty space; it is a void in which the voice comes to resonate."

(Mladen Dolar, The Voice and Nothing More, MIT Press, 2006)


This is my contribution to Disquiet Junto project #0515: Talking Cure. This week, the prompt consisted in creating a piece of music that you imagine hearing in a therapist's waiting room.

disquiet0529 - Squared Off

This is the 529th consecutive weekly Disquiet Junto project. The number 529 is what happens when you take the number 23 and multiply it by itself.

https://disquiet.com/2022/02/17/disquiet-junto-project-0529-squared-off/
https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0529-squared-off/52842

Considering the number 23 here...
Three percussion tracks, of 23/4, 23/8, and 23/16.
One percussion track, of 23/8, with a bouncing ball algorithm for repeated fading midi notes with Mass and Gravity set to (sensible multiples of) 23.
One 4/4 loop, trimmed / stretched to 23/8 (I think!).
One 23/8 synth part, with two sends into Replika XT for a tasty wash.
And since Psalm 23 is the lovely "Shepherd" Psalm, I used two Shepherd Tone tracks to flesh out the tonal structure.
Finally, to tie in the 23 - the track title Zygote - human zygote formation is the moment whereby a new 23+23=46-chromosome human potential lies from its parents. Evolution at work...

NECRONOMICON DREAMS - EREBUS WAITS

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.
