For this challenge:
Step 1: Think about how a gradient functions, as one thing transitions into another.

Step 2: Make a short piece of music that aims to explore the idea of a gradient in sound.

As mentioned on a previous junto, lately, when I have time, I’m recycling old masters I got back this summer from a publisher deal, I have dozens of 10 or 15 years old tracks to re-listen, re-work and release or use at will.
For this junto I decided to do a gradient between two old tracks: one completely electronic (synths and treatments) and one acoustic (live in the studio performance with actual musicians and instruments)
It starts with the electro-drone song , and instead of just crossfading volumes between tracks I decided to make my own interpretation of gradient: the second song’s tracks start unmuting one by one, starting with the flute and some percussion, then bass, etc, while the first song’s tracks start fading or muting one by one.
To make things interested, the first song is in the key of Bb major, while the second plays around A major and A minor, so the long middle section of this track, where the mutation happens, is in two superimposed keys, providing dissonance and instability instead of the original track’s clear mood.

Disquiet Junto Project 0473: Placebo Effect
The Assignment: Record the second third of a trio that others will complete.

Step 1: This week’s Disquiet Junto project is the second in a sequence intended to encourage and reward asynchronous collaboration. This week you’ll be adding music to a pre-existing track, which you will source from the previous week’s Junto project (disquiet.com/0472). Note that you aren’t creating a duet — you’re creating the second third of what will eventually be a trio. Keep this in mind. Leave space for what is yet to come.

Step 2: The plan is for you to record a short and original piece of music, on any instrumentation of your choice, as a complement to the pre-existing track. First, however, you must select the piece of music to which you will be adding your own music. There are tracks by 68 musicians in all to choose from, 62 as part of this playlist:

I chose the track https://soundcloud.com/half-unusual/half-stereo-disquiet0472-85-bpm by halF unusuaL.

Some guitar melody added to ikjoyce's synth track: https://soundcloud.com/ikjoyce/disquiet0472-jamtimebacking

I chose to play in F harmonic minor instead of natural minor. The sharp 7th sounds a little off sometimes but I like it.

Disquiet0473 (w/ ikjoyce)

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.
