For junto 373:
Challenge: Compose a work of music for sentient beings elsewhere in the universe.  “Science is Copernican, but society remains Ptolemaic."


This is on more step in a research I've been into lately: creating music that have that "pop" catchiness and charm that  stick with you, but avoiding some of the "pop" song formulas: typical pop instrumentation, 4/4 beat, clear and focused melody, tonal harmonies etc  etc.

I tested this one and my recent other efforts in the genre  and my "guinea pigs" all said it was quite infectious and sticky.
Even if:
-The beat is 7/4 with a weird "drum kit" consisted of Argentina's Bombo Leguero ad  finger snaps.
-There's no clear melody but instead some melodic fragments that never quite repeat and develop but make a "mantra" like melodic pastiche that, well, sticks to you.
-Structure is also quite weird, particularly if you follow the melodies.
-Instrumentation is ridiculous:

Ukulele Bass (Kala U-Bass)
Two Ukuleles
Marimba
Tongue Drum
Harmonica 
Lead analog synth
Balafon (x2)

But I'm certain aliens will love this, dance to it like their own Macarena, and sing the melody in football stadiums.
Hope the aliens in this junto world agree.

Copernicus' Bad Idea - feat. Miguel Yanover (disquiet0373)

Flutter [disquiet0388]

This piece inspired by a famous speech from William Shakespeare’s play As You Like It. The speech is the one that begins “All the world’s a stage,” and is spoken by the melancholy character Jacques.

This piece is divided in 7 parts - each one (except the last) layering upon each other - inspired by the passing of a life... In the end, everything falls apart and turns to silence... 

All created "in the box" with heavy use of the new Reason 11 Plugin functionality, sequenced by Ableton.

disquiet0404 - a stage in seven

I created a little melody and stretched it out to around 30 seconds. I then copied this (as a midi file) and added an extra layer for each of the 7 stages of man (as given by William Shakespeare’s play As You Like It.) Each time around the melody ends and pauses before the next stage comes in and is altered in some way, stretched or pulled apart or extra sounds added to reflect the stage of life - i.e. noise and manic drums for the 'soldier' stage. 
Quite pleased with how it turned out, it certainly has the 7 stages fairly well located.

Disquiet Junto Project 0404: Seven (St)ages
The Assignment: Record a piece of music that follows the arc of Jacques’ “All the world’s a stage” speech from Shakespeare’s play As You Like It.

Step 1: This project is inspired by a famous speech from William Shakespeare’s play As You Like It. The speech is the one that begins “All the world’s a stage,” and is spoken by the melancholy character Jacques.

Step 2: Familiarize yourself with the speech, in which Jacques lists the “seven ages” that people move through over the course of their lives, should they lead full and long ones: the infant, the student (“schoolboy” in the play), the lover, the soldier, the justice, old age, and the final decline (likened to a “second childishness and mere oblivion”).

Step 3: Consider how those seven ages might be explored in musical terms. Consider concepts in the original text, such as how in old age “his big manly voice, / Turning again towards childish treble, pipes / And whistles in his sound.”

Step 4: Record a piece of music that occurs in seven stages, following the seven ages of Jacques’ speech. One possibility is to have seven related pieces of music, as i na suite, that represent the ages. Another is to have one consistent source audio throughout, but to treat/filter/process it in accordance with each successive (st)age.
