Five recordings of a Pigments patch, simulating the sound of slapping the end of a PVC pipe. Each recorded at a different tempo. Each played through various effects, with automated delay, panning and width.

Terra Meridiani

Mechanical Ghosts

It’s been a rough and exhausting week, so the soothing guitar chords from Torsten Goerke (https://soundcloud.com/torstengoerke) instantly hit my sweet spot (Gruß nach Dresden!).

I extracted the MIDI notes via Ableton, added a granular reverb to it, and played a bit with the pitches. As the guitar line was a bit short, I doubled the part. Also, I added a shortwave radio segment to it.

Disquiet Junto Project 0637: Right (2 of 3)
The Assignment: Record the second third of an eventual trio.

While this is the second part of a three-part project, you can participate in one, two, or all three of the parts, which will occur over the course of three consecutive weeks, starting last week. 

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/0636). Note that you aren’t creating a duet — you’re creating the second third of what will eventually be a trio. Important: 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 a 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 numerous musicians to choose from (47 as of last count). 

To select a track, you can listen through all those and choose one, or simply look around and select, or you can come up with a random approach to sifting through them.

It is strongly encouraged that you look through the discussion thread for the previous project on the Lines forum because many tracks include additional contextual information there:
https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0636-left-1-of-3/

Step 3: Record a short piece of music, roughly the length of the piece of music you selected in Step 2. Your track should complement the piece from Step 2, and leave room for an eventual third piece of music. When composing and recording your part, don’t alter the original piece of music at all, except to pan the original fully to the left if it hasn’t been panned left already. In your finished audio track, your new part should be panned fully to the right. 

To be clear: the track you upload won’t be your piece of music alone; it will be a combination of the track you selected in Step 2 and yours.

Step 4: Also be sure, when done, to make the finished track downloadable, because it will be used by someone else in a subsequent Junto project.

Step 5: You can contribute more than one track this week. In normal circumstances, Junto projects have a one-track-per-participant limit. You can do two this time. For the second, it’s appreciated if you try to work with a solo that no one else has used yet. I will keep an updated list in this Google Drive document of what has been utilized:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kDorIMT9j_nQQPXACYpMPe4B86T2QD5Xvv98XAOS4UE/edit?pli=1#gid=0

The goal is for many as people as possible to benefit from the experience of being part of an asynchronous collaboration. That, foremost, is the spirit of this project.

Length: The length is up to you. Stick close to the length of the track yours adds to.

Deadline: Monday, March 18, 2024, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.

Right Beside You (with Torsten Goehrke) [disquiet0637]

For the second third of what will become a trio, I improvised over the neat track: https://soundcloud.com/encym/neat_disorder_disquiet0636?si=b9ddc52764ed4a2aa016f867b517e4fc&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing by @encym

The right side was made with a meaty and glassy combo instrument using Pigments and Falcon. 
Following the approach of the original track on the left, I made a sparse arrangement, with plenty of air and spectrum for future collaborators.

The Last Of The Opera Murders [disquiet0637]

The Assignment: Record the second third of an eventual trio.

These instructions are fairly lengthy. Please read carefully.

All but one are in this playlist:

Is still on the line (duet with Andreas Kitzmann) - disquiet0637

For my second attempt this week, I chose the soothing track (left) https://soundcloud.com/fake-genius/disquiet0636-drma by @fake-genius and ran a weird generative Pigments patch alongside of it (right). 

The DRMA track had a lullaby vibe to it and to me the melodic moans in the patch ended up sounding like androids. The patch uses three square oscillators and some granular sampling. 

Sequence was keyed to D minor and 84 BPM, but its a bit loose.

Right to drum (with @mikey_a) - disquiet0637

“Take the sound of the stone aging.”
Yoko Ono

Stones are the witnesses of: There are still deep connections to the archaic stories of our ancestors. We see the same skies, taste the same winds and tell the same stories about who we were and who we will become.

Stepping into the stones’s and sediments perspective: being exposed to the elements for ages and excavated, listening to the meandering tales of mankind.

This week’s project is based on a text by Yoko Ono, originally published in her book Grapefruit60 years ago, back in 1964.
