Disquiet Junto Project 0665: Clicks + Cuts Music Factory
The Assignment: Record a track in honor of the late Achim Szepanski.

Background: Achim Szepanski (1957-2024), founder of the Mille Plateaux record label, among numerous other accomplishments, died this week. This project is in his honor. You needn’t know much if anything to begin this project; just follow the instructions. As always, discussion of the topic at hand in the project’s llllllll.co message thread is encouraged.

Step 1: Listen back to the first Clicks + Cuts compilation album (originally released in 2000). It is streaming on YouTube (the first hour or so of that playlist).

Step 2: Consider the common elements in various tracks: the glitch effects, the sense of space, the attention to tiny details, the industrial minimalism, the emphasis on sampling, the tempo, the groove. What else do you hear?

Step 3: Record a track in the spirit of that first Clicks + Cuts album.

Deadline: Monday, September 30, 2024, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.

Y2K  By Therese Lloyd (disquiet0665)

Three drum beats, chopped, cut and mutilated with different manual methods and an automated plugin (tweaked in real time) + a synth track, also cut and skidded and finally a glitch I captured and entered on a sampler, played rhythmically with pads.
Created Thursday Sep26th by DD.
