wonderful stuff really cool aural journey 😁

Take a whiff of this one. With this track I put together a nice and weird scale that has a brighter and darker side to it. That steal-the-show bass line and digital waves on the Arturia MicroFreak. Melody on Izotope Iris. Chord progression on the Synthstrom Deluge. Compressed drums on Superior Drummer. Music video is on YouTube

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

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

Step 1: Choose six brief segments of sound that you have recently recorded. Or record some new segments now. Either way, select six of them, and label them one through six.

Step 2: Roll a single die for each of the six segments chosen in Step 1.

Step 3: The result of each roll in Step 2 represents the relative presence of that given segment in a finished piece of music. Think about how the pieces might relate to each other. This idea of relative presence can mean whatever you want: frequency of appearance, relative volume, intelligibility etc.

Step 4: Record a piece of music in which the relative presence of the segments chosen in Step 1 correlate with the results from Step 2.

Used dice rolls to establish a polyrhythm sequence on the Elektron Analog Rytm with samples I recorded from the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas Alter. Opted to use a D20 die to give more chance of distance between triggers and hopefully more variance in the pattern. Each roll would determine the length of each track, with a trigger placed on the last step. Originally tried rolling two more dice to determine which samples would used from my sample pool, but ultimately I felt that extra level of randomness was not producing pleasing results and it completely removed any creative element of human choice.  However, I did keep one of the random samples selected in the same slot and I put another random sample selection on a different track that fit the timing better.  I made four sets of rolls and pursued each pattern for a bit. The final results I am presenting were made by rolling 17, 11, 19, 3, 5, and 9. The track is named for a three dimensional shape with 20 faces.

Whenever I doodle with an instrument, I record if something sounds vaguely interesting. Often these chance bits become the basis of a new track. For this assignment I had four 1-minute-stems, ranging from piano and drums to a drone. 

Added a vibraphone and additional drone from Teletone, plus some Slate & Ash bells. Mixing was hell, as everything was pretty much in the frequency spectrum - that took twice the time of writing the track.

Disquiet Junto Project 0621: The Leftovers
The Assignment: Use recently discarded material to make something new.

Step 1: At the end of the calendar year, people often participate in holidays that result in lots of leftover food. Think about the leftovers — discarded tracks, or MIDI files, or ideas — that result from your music-making process.

Step 2: Scrounge around on your hard drive and recording equipment, and in your memory, to access the sort of creative leftovers that came to mind in Step 1.

Step 3: Make a new track primarily using the resources that surfaced in Step 2. You can, of course, add new material. And be sure to reheat sufficiently.

Seven Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0621” (no spaces or quotation marks) in the name of your tracks.

Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag “disquiet0621” (no spaces or quotation marks). If you’re posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to subsequent location of tracks for the creation of a project playlist.

Step 3: Upload your tracks. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your tracks.

Step 4: Post your track in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0621-the-leftovers/

Step 5: Annotate your track with a brief explanation of your approach and process.

Step 6: If posting on social media, please consider using the hashtag #DisquietJunto so fellow participants are more likely to locate your communication.

Step 7: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Note: Please post one track for this weekly Junto project. If you choose to post more than one, and do so on SoundCloud, please let me know which you’d like added to the playlist. Thanks.

Additional Details:

Length: The length is up to you. How far can you stretch your leftovers?

Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, November 27, 2023, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, November 23, 2023.

Upload: When participating in this project, be sure to include a description of your process in planning, composing, and recording it. This description is an essential element of the communicative process inherent in the Disquiet Junto. Photos, video, and lists of equipment are always appreciated.

Download: It is always best to set your track as downloadable and allowing for attributed remixing (i.e., a Creative Commons license permitting non-commercial sharing with attribution, allowing for derivatives).

For context, when posting the track online, please be sure to include this following information:
