Part of:
Disquiet Junto Project 0333: Half Evil
Where numerology casts a shadow on musicology.
This week’s project is the 333rd consecutive Junto project. That’s half of 666. Ponder the dark side.
Record a piece of music that could be described as “half evil.”: Lucky Numbers

This is a different version of a 2016 track I composed after the US election, never found the nerve to finish it although I did mix and posted a lighter version last year. This one’s the original creepy one.

I recorded several bowed upright basses performing (in unison) variations on the same riff.
There’s a robotic groove loop created with voices heavily treated and over compressed.
Some radio voices can be heard in the background along with synth pads providing more texture.

This is my 303 track on Sound Cloud, there’s something about 3 this week.

Disquiet Junto Project 0358: Rhythm + Blue(s)Step 1: Consider the term “rhythm and blues.” Not the genre, just the term.
Step 2: Imagine what you might think “rhythm and blues” meant in terms of music had you never previously heard “rhythm and blues” music.

I got infatuated with Blues when I was a kid (Howling Wolf, John Mayall and Muddy Waters mostly) but back then the term Rhythm and Blues was a bit confusing to me, I remember somebody pointing out that The Who and the Stones were considered as R&B bands at their beginning. The Who R&B? ok...
In my young little head it was more mashed up with soul and funk, Stax and Motown music from the 60’s. 
Anyway, R&B was way far from the “Pop-HipHop” thing they refer to now with that moniker.
So I took all this as a license to submit whatever I’m working on really.
If somehow aliens studying mammals on this part of the universe end up thinking Fats Domino, The Who and Rhianna all play the same style off music, you can count me in (out?).

For this one I went for a 6/4 beat (4+2 unusual for R&B I presume) but used normal instruments for that style:
Electric Guitars (x2)
Wurlitzer piano
Farfissa Organ
Electric Bass
Drums

Sounds more complex than it is actually, it is just a lazy Friday jam.

Zen Zero(disquiet0358)

In loving memory of Phil Ogison Aegidiussen. 

I will miss you my friend. We will all miss you. 

I never had a chance to tell you all the things I needed to tell you. 

And now, Aegidussen, you too can chariot through the Sól and Máni. 

We will all leave the story for your legacy to tell now. 

We will all move through your heartbeats now, where we know you will take us with you. 

Wherever you decide to go..

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.
