I love that you and @ZeroMeaning did totally different things with this. You tamed and subdued the original and made a more dream like track whereas @ZeroMeaning brought out the raw sound and made it more chaotic. I'm thrilled with both results! Well done!

@sityphoxx: Thanks SityPhoxx. This project has been a lot of fun - hope there'll be more chances to do it in the future.

Disquiet Junto Project 0369: Final Solo

I loved the track by Tunnelwater https://soundcloud.com/user-524526704/disquiet0368?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0368 using Ryan Scott Mattingly's track

it evoked someone trapped alone in a decrepit listening station on the edge of the desert during a brutal sandstorm, listening to the fading signal of a guitar on the radio as the storm whipped around outside. I dropped the track into Ableton Live, added some limiting, and then added guitar with reverb, plus EQ to isolate mids (I used an Epiphany Joe Pass model, a wonderfully spooky sounding guitar). The melody line is heavily improvised but inspired by the ghost chords that seem to emerge from the shadows of the underlying tracks.

Disquiet 0369 Trio With Untilledsound & Ryan Scott Mattingly

I used Disquietude (by gentil & encym) as my "final" piece. I was really moved by it, and hope that I was able to add some finality to it's fragile beauty. I used a kind of reverse string patch in Arturia Pigments and thought the tones sat nicely. It was a pleasure to work with, so many thanks to the original artists.

Asynchronic(disquiet0475)

As I've just finished binge watching Mindhunter on Netflix, it's probably not surprising that it and the atmospheric image fused in my mind and the two became the inspiration for this track.
Done almost entirely using the Korg Wavestate, except for the crackles, which was Arturia's CMI V through Vallhalla Supermassive.

The Fog Of Doubt (disquiet0476)

The first thing that stuck out to me from this image was the traffic, so I got some traffic samples. The balconies made me think of replicating the moment of hearing other people in the distance/through walls/in an obfuscated way so I downloaded samples of people talking. All the samples are from freesound.

The image has a haunting, distant quality to it, something I wanted to capture with a synth. I played around with the Applied Acoustics Systems Ultra Analog Session plugin in Ableton and I quite liked the synthy sound of it. The bit at the end is the same synth but pitched down. 

All the samples have a low-pass filter applied, the vocal samples have multiple echos, delays and instances of Multiband Dynamics to create a distant, removed feeling to it. I chopped up some bits from the traffic samples and spread them through the song. 

And that's it. Enjoy!

Farfarout [Disquiet0476]

An introspective rumination.

The longer you stare at the tireless highway, the more the cars become a blur. Memories descend over your mind like morning fog rolls into the city. Conversations and laughter drift up from other balconies, but soon fade. Spacing out has become an accidental deep focus session. The cars from yesterday are back today. And will be back tomorrow.

But you've slipped out an exit. One nobody noticed. The cars shrink smaller. Rushing by in slow motion. Like toys controlled by your mind. You want to relinquish control but you can't. There's something controlling you. Something you can't see. Even from this raised vantage. "The fog will lift when I'm ready to see beyond," you suppose.

Beyond The Fog (disquiet 0476)

Disquiet Junto Project 0476. The Assignment: Here’s your next single’s cover. Now record it.

The photo gave me instantly some kind of Blade Runner feeling and I wanted to avoid this. I decided to make something with LFOs that give the cars driving by a sound. I created a generative patch on my AE Modular with a recently added Wonkystuff rbbs adressing the FMOS oscillator, a lots of LFOs and filters. I wanted to add some Houston radio talk, but I only found a WebSDR source in Texas (w5cqu.homeip.net:8100/) from which the voices are taken (some harmless talk about MS Windows). The result is my feeling of having a flat in this building, listening to local radio with open balcony. Will be a #1 hit single…

Heavenly Creatures (naviarhaiku371)

As i was awakening on Sunday morning this challenge came to mind. Before getting out of bed I planned the bass drum sound and the long sax notes. Whilst working on getting the bass drum right my 6 year old daughter came in and sat on my lap, after a while she said 'this needs bells'  so we chose a bell sound.  Later after breakfast I recorded the 3 layers of Tenor Sax each layer with a different sound through a digitech guitar pedal. Then the bells came in. The next day some mixing tweaks and the rim shot happened.

The Uncertainty Principle (disquiet0477)

Disquiet Junto Project 0477: Record a piece of music in which some substantial portion is performed without looking.

I was doing something else on my iPad, sitting outside in the sun this afternoon, when the nearby bells belled. I suddenly remembered a sentence I read just yesterday, that natural idiophones where the best base for granular synthesis. I managed to record the already fading bells with the iPad and loaded copies of the samples into the Samplr App. It's three tracks with the original sample (I mixed the unchanged version to the beginning of the track), two of them very normal, one very high und unrecognisable as such. This settings and the recording in AudioShare I did by looking, then I flew blind, which is not impossible as Samplr gives you some defined area to touch (and you need to look to stop the machine or tracks with two fingers). But as the iPad surface does not give any haptic feedback, there were a lot of things going wrong anyway. This track uses around 5 minutes that sounded pretty good to me, but maybe it's just because I like church bells. Trivia: In this case it's the St. Maximilian church in Munich, Germany, and the bells have vintage names like Otto, Ludwig, Maximilian and Salve and they bell every saturday afternoon at 3 p.m. (and no, I didn't knew that until I checked Wikipedia for this description).

Typhlotic Bells [disquiet0477]

1. Trying to get some of the musical noise in my head into the outside world. 
2. Still learning about sound construction and production (and hopefully always will be).
3. If you hear unrealized potential in any of my postings, do please get in touch as I'd like to explore doing some collaboration.

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.
