Disquiet Junto Project 0557: Condensation Is a Form of Change
The Assignment: Interpret a graphic score that depicts four phases.

A combined play on a Brian Eno phrase and a John Cage visual motif is pretty much foundational Disquiet Junto territory. This week, interpret this image as a graphic score. See:

Disquiet Junto Project 0557: Condensation Is a Form of Change

firstly i took the image associated with this project and edited it via the Image Glitch Tool on github (https://snorpey.github.io/jpg-glitch/)

I took this image and then found an online png to wav converter (as found here: https://nsspot.herokuapp.com/imagetoaudio/) which created a 20 second sound snippet.

I took this in ableton and repitched the parts and jammed it out on my pc keyboard.

Phototechnika [disquiet0557]

I made this over breakfast recording the empty porridge plate (with coconut milk and pecan nuts, highly recommended) other things close to hand. 

At the centre of the recording, I drew each of the four section circles 17 times (disquiet 5+5+7=17) with the skin and nails of my hand. This part is effected with reverb. 

On either side, with no effects, but panned to 55 left and right, I brought in the porridge dish, my massive Dr Who mug (William Hartnell to Matt Smith), the desk lamps, laptop, phone, speaker and a nifty philips screwdriver. I stopped the recording at 55 bars of a 120 tempo. 

Handily, I'd just completed the 17th circle playing the fourth pattern of the graphic score (which you can see in the image).

Condensation Is A Form Of Change (disquiet0557)

i saw the picture, saw the movement in the prints
jammed with my op-1
4 footprints, 4 buttons, recorded in TX-6

probably 4 musical parts

rotating glass imprints(disquiet0557)

For me the image suggest stains on a table cloth, sweaty wine glasses and bottles...
I started recording a beautiful plastic bottle I had around, then added some simple drums (I can't drum more that 2 things at once, so here it's bass drum and hi hat)
The added some wine glasses (rubbed) and chamber crystal bowls (hit w/mallets) , some of my favourite samples.
The bass it's a freebie I recently found and wanted to test, just plain 808 bass sound in one octave. very nice (808 BM4 Lite)

Four x Four (disquiet0557)

Disquiet Junto Project 0557: Condensation Is a Form of Change
The Assignment: Interpret a graphic score that depicts four phases.

I didn't want to understand the picture as a kind of timeline to be read from left to right. From the beginning I felt the urge for simultaneity, as it is inherent in images. I saw four or five elements, of which the lower/left one is incomprehensible, condensing on a background and perhaps disappearing again like stains from a coffee cup.

With that in mind, I started playing around in Live, mostly with samplers like DecentSampler, Soundpaint, and Spitfire Labs, and a lot of destructive FX. I wanted to achieve the mysteriousness that I felt myself when I looked at the image. The only discernible motif kind of emerged as I played around, it was actually too clear to me, but then I didn't want to go without it.
