Disquiet Junto Project 0552: The Radio in My Life
The Assignment: Record music in response to a John Cage and Morton Feldman conversation.

This was fun. I thought about intrusions. Mostly it's the loud street in front of my window and kids running in the flat above mine and people shouting at Siri, Alexa and OKgoogle in the backyard.

I checked my field recordings and there it was: the f… church bells. A bad ambient track, repeated relentlessly every sunday, never changing, a transcendent single-track playlist … 

I threw the field recoding of the bells into deCoda, and it calculated Aminor and 84bpm. I started a track from scratch with these parameters and improvised some beats and pads. The idea was to have a peaceful ambient track … that could be disturbed by acoustic intrusion of the church bells. 

The track seemed finished when I read the algorithm again and listened to the Cage-Feldman-Talk. I liked the pure oddity of the first minutes, so I added some parts of the beginning, accepting that this will draw focus to the conversation, so I didn't care that you don't understand much. 

Next sunday at seven, they will play my track …

Intrusive Bells [disquiet0552]

This is actually the first track I recorded by myself since early 4-track recordings decades ago. Recorded at the start of lockdown on an iPad before I discovered Ableton; cleaned up in 2023 for a new airing. Always saw it as a sonic future-scape that is a little rough around the edges but worth sharing again.

Disquiet Junto Project 0601: Hard Six
The Assignment: Let a roll of the dice determine the relative prominence of various parts of a track.

Basically made six tracks filled with different loops of about 20 seconds. Randomly chose between 1-6 for each track to determine how many loops would appear.  Then organized the result in a way that seemed to work compsitionally.

The project was inspired in part by recent correspondence with Junto participant Robert Precht. More to come in that regard.

Empty House Once Full Of Life (naviarhaiku512)

Messing with the nn~ operator in MAX/MSP and two pre-trained RAVE AI models resulted in this uncanny voice recording. Strangely stuttering, but almost language. If you'd like to see exactly how it was created, check out the accompanying video @ https://youtu.be/WwNYD3Sm4H4

Huge thanks to Intelligent Instruments Lab for making their RAVE models available @ https://huggingface.co/Intelligent-Instruments-Lab/rave-models

JaMuary 24- the aim to create a piece of music (no matter how short or incomplete it is) for as many days as I can during the month.

Most Jamuarys are incomplete or just the start of an idea so I upload them as private here but they are public on my other Soundcloud page @trevbushell and Ive put them in a playlist you can find here on.soundcloud.com/QUFqo :)

Today's jam theme (8th January) was a challenge to create an 8 bit ditty! :) SO MUCH FUN!
