This is my submission to this week's Disquiet Junto assignment. The audio panned all the way to the left was recorded by Krakenkraft as the first part of a trio. The right channel contains Boundary Objects'  contribution for the second part of the trio. My contribution can be heard panned to the center.

Third Third [disquiet0699] w/Krakenkraft and Boundary Objects

You can't quite see it in the photo out the window, but there's a carpet of plum slate in my back garden ... Great sonic fodder for a little rhythmic experiment like this! It's a bit ASMR-y if you're into that sort of thing too ... Also, I guess because it's just rhythm, you might feel it's ripe for additional parts. It's downloadable (85 BPM) if that remix prospect takes your fancy 🤗❤️

SO great to be part of the 700th Disquiet Junto!! 😁🔥

Suss Müsik has been traveling a lot lately. Thus is the nature of having to work for a living, a privileged state that appears to be accelerating toward some form of extinction. That’s probably a gripe for another Junto project.

On a recent trip to a U.S. city not to be named, Suss Müsik captured this strangely bucolic view outside the hotel window. Look closely, and you’ll see evidence of gentrification in the urban landscape: a new corporate housing unit dominates the left side of the image, obscured by a rich envelope of foliage. There appears to be some sort of mosque in the background, perhaps representing one of the orthodox faiths, next to what might be a church steeple. A rustic brick dwelling sits confidently where it was built some 300 years ago. Just beyond that is a budget hotel and what is likely a corporate office building, both filled to half-capacity.

The intention of Suss Müsik’s sonic interpretation was to demonstrate this weirdly haunting mashup: a blend of classical ‘old world’ architecture residing in an environment of aggressively digital commercialization. It is a scene where progress is measured in glass panels, beige is the new brown, innovation is temporal, and humans interaction relies on the conductivity of elemental particles. If you can imagine the setting of a Milan Kundera story retold through a series of YouTube Shorts, that’s sort of the vibe this image presents. 

This piece for cello, violin, piano, and electronics was recorded quickly to TASCAM 8-track. It is dedicated to Marc Weidenbaum and all participants of the Disquiet Junto community. Here’s to 700 chapters and counting.

SONG 98 - Disquiet0700 - View Frame

The world outside is under construction.

Who ordered the mission? Who‘s going to pay the in the end?
What will the world look like, will it turn out nice?
From inside its hard to figure it out. 

Disquiet Junto Project 0700: View Frame
The Assignment: Share a peek out your window and some sounds inspired by the view.
Step 1: Take a photo out your window, with a little bit of the frame in view. Show people a glimpse of your world.
Step 2: Record a short, simple piece of music inspired (or otherwise informed) by what you see.

Framing the view [disquiet0700]

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0700: View Frame. The Assignment: Share a peek out your window and some sounds inspired by the view.

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0700 discussion thread on Lines:

Image of our front yard was taken through one of the bedroom windows. We’re lucky to live in a home surrounded by conifers and native California oaks. The calming view of the trees from the windows in some rooms make it seem like we’re in a forest rather than in a neighborhood with other people. I tried to convey the placid mood here. 

This was created in Ableton Live using Slate+Ash Choreographs, Spectres and Orchestral Tools Mirrors. Effects used were Soundtoys Spaceblender, Aberrant DSP SketchCassette II  and builtin reverb. A field recording from the front yard with a water fountain, birds, wind chimes and other ambient sounds was layered in. It was recorded using a Zoom F3 with right angle Pluggy mics. Happy 700th Disquiet Junto! Here’s to many more in the years ahead.

Forest Window [disquiet0700]

used this photo from my window as a graphic score. the elements in this photo mapping to elements in the track.

most sounds in here come from a contact mic applied to the window itself, or the frame.

Disquiet Junto Project 0433: Kit Bits
The Assignment: Create a kit’s worth of percussion samples.

I used 1. recordings with a telephone coil microphone recording sounds from an external blu ray drive and a smartphone and 2. random recordings from a Soma Ether device. In these recordings I picked up those areas which I though to be useful for a drum kit, just as I would do it for myself. 

This track contains all samples in no special order in one FLAC, downloadable.

There is a ZIP which contains every sample as a single WAV:

… should work for 14 days.
