Disquiet0620 - SamPlair + Risse (Robert Knote)

[disquiet] 0621 Lyra Leftover

I chose a few short tracks originally used as effects-fodder (not exactly discarded but pinched from other sources then distorted beyond recognition) and subjected them to various plugins found in Audacity – reversing, stretching, tempo-fiddling, distortion, reverb, delay, pitch alteration and tone enhancement. This was done without first auditing the selections, just to make the results a bit more problematic. No step was reversed, no sound discarded.

I then tried to make sense of what I’d done – tell a story, perhaps…

Turned out marginally better than I expected.

----------------------------------------------
The Assignment: Use recently discarded material to make something new.

Step 1: At the end of the calendar year, people often participate in holidays that result in lots of leftover food. Think about the leftovers — discarded tracks, or MIDI files, or ideas — that result from your music-making process.

Step 2: Scrounge around on your hard drive and recording equipment, and in your memory, to access the sort of creative leftovers that came to mind in Step 1.

Step 3: Make a new track primarily using the resources that surfaced in Step 2. You can, of course, add new material. And be sure to reheat sufficiently.

There's a 100% reverb setting on this - a shadow of the music you can't quite hear. See the (slightly disturbing) accompanying visuals @ https://youtu.be/pdBdZPYer60

The Wild (Jamnuary Day 1)

NLS - 2024 - 06 - 11

I used a section of the vocal I visually liked, I recorded, looped, streeched, repeated on the same section slowed again. I then used the Roli to play in some wave sounds and clicks.I used vocal patch on a layered section of vocal. I added a few 808 on a few beats to simulate the heart.

Malka Older – The Divided – Part 9 Disquiet0400

Its been a pleasure to partake in the Junto projects for over 4 years now! I've done about 50 in the 4 years so not so many but love the idea very much.  
For this just built a simple structur behind the track, just to back to text and words - not to take over. A few drum racks, some glitches and some effects and synth sounds. A quick process for me this one.

Malka Older – The Divided – Part 4.9 disquiet0400 - 8:29:19, 10.07 PM

Soundtrack for segment 6 of 9 was generated solely from the Malka Older's reading.  Processed in Supercollider and mixed in Ableton Live.

Malka Older The Divided Part6:9 (disquiet0400)

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.
