I like this turn here, unexpected. That feedback is amazing

Really like the vibe and eerie feel. So atmosphereic.

A really nice array of acoustic guitar work. Very enjoyable!

Erasmus Mix

This week's Disquiet Junto was in memory of the founder of the Mille Plateaux record label, Achim Szepanski. We were invited to listen to the compilation _Clicks and Cuts_ and compose a piece that paid homage.

I listened to the album a couple of times over and took notes on what I heard: complex rhythm is centered; glitchy, non-traditional percussion and other samples; dry mix; musical elements downplayed; no obvious structure; repetitious, hypnotic; lots of thoughtful, small touches.

I stepped away for a few hours and listened to familiar music to clear my head. When I was ready I hit the studio equipped with only my notes. I set out to make a piece that met the criteria I had observed more than something that sounded like the examples we had been given.

Since the rhythm is so central, I hand-programmed a few 5/4 drum patterns and shopped for an appropriately glitchy drum kit. I layered on some additional percussive and other samples for flavor.

The drone synth was performed on my Moffenzeef Modular Stargazer. There's no clock sync on this unit, so I had to set the LFO rate by hand and pray that I didn't accidentally bump that knob while performing. I doubled the Stargazer and panned the two tracks hard left and right. I quantized one and not the other, meaning that the LFOs drift in and out of phase. I also blended in a +7 pitch shift to fill out the sound some.

"Mise-en-scêne" is best experienced with headphones. Recorded at NO SIGNAL Multimedia Lab in The Shambles, Chicago.
