Disquiet Junto Project 0385: Audubonus Instrumentum

This week's Junto project has always been one of my favourites -- so I recorded the first third of what will eventually become a trio. I played it on my Tele through a simple, straightforward signal chain of Chase Bliss Mood (the main sound), fed through a Dark Star and a Polymoon to add space and variations in terms of timbre. No further editing in the DAW. 

I went for as sparse a track as I could, to provide as much space as possible for my potential collaborators. My hope is that you feel inspired by my "almost crumbling to pieces" vibe, and I look forward to hearing what you will be adding over the coming weeks for it to become a trio recording.

Roughshark [with analoc] (disquiet0637)

This track is an asynchronous collaboration with @user-807707609 (he_nu_ri) and @mikey_a as part of the Disquiet Junto Project: I was inspired by the wonderful track https://soundcloud.com/mikey_a/both-sides-of-the-river-disquiet0637 created by these two artists and added the sounds in the middle of the stereo field.

I tried to build on this soundtrack of a peaceful flowing river and add some more musical dimensions. A river can be a metaphor for many different things - and I would like to leave it up to the listener to reflect on this image.

Disquiet Junto Project 0638: Center (3 of 3)
The Assignment: Complete a trio begun by two other musicians.

I looked in the sheet for something unused and opted for https://soundcloud.com/xhg/disquiet0637-marsh-bones-factory-with-raincat because of the sheer feeling of reality it had to me. I played different instruments but nothing worked for me. So instead I used old samples, a recording of a turnstile on a train track near Munich and a door that creaked wonderfully in the wind near Assisi, Italy. It seemed to me to fit in wonderfully with the duo's palpable spatiality.

This is the third phase of a three-phase sequence over the course of as many weeks during which, consecutively and asynchronously, musicians build trios together.

third epoch (disquiet0638) w/ Tristan Louth-Robins & ECHINACEA PURPUREA

The Disquiet Junto prompt this week was an invitation to transform a siren as it passes from left to right.

My contribution features the transformation of an air raid siren by way of two layers of heavily effected slide steel guitar and an ambivalent synth pad. The vocal samples were generated with text-to-speech.

"Airships Over Chicago" is a stereophonic experience, so choose your listening environment with care. Recorded at NO SIGNAL Multimedia Lab, The Shambles, Chicago, USA.

WOBBLING LOCK PICK: The Convict Shoves Into the Empty Home (Disquiet0385)

The sciù is a double reed aerophone, consisting of a cylindrical tube inside which are placed thin membranes that produce resonant delays. The sciù was built by Amos Soma, the name derives from a Sicilian dessert, a ricotta cheese. As such sweet induces the player and those who listen to States of ecstasy.

Etude Du Sciù (disquiet0385)

Found floating amongst the stars, initially though to be an alien satellite, a yalpian blackstone organ was found in 1972 by Major Tom & Eva. 

After several years of experiments, Professor Spleet Von Gingle finally succeeded in taping a few minutes of it's song, after which (she claims) it broke completely. 

Rumour has it, though, that pieces and parts as well as some of the oscillating blackstones has been seen on stage or in the studios of some of the biggest bands throughout the '70'ies and '80'ies.

disquiet0385 - etude for yalpian fields

For this weeks contribution I utilized a 358 pattern on the Roland DJ 808. I then recorded a tambourine with Zen magnets attached to it, a bowl of water with magnets in it while using a squeezee pig blowing into the bowl, filling up with water, snout up with water. In addition I added some tongue clicks, lip bubbles. Building an instrument rack in Abelton with Wavetable and Operator to include an in the box instrument combination.

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.
