Early morning,
One star remaining,
It’s a good day too.

A wandering poet and ascetic Zen priest, Santōka was a disciple of Ogiwara Seisensui, one of the first poets to discard the traditional use of the 5-7-5 structure in haiku.

Santōka’s poetry emphasizes the necessity of sabi (solitude) in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment and serenity.

A mix of five drone sequences of different frequencies, each with added modulation & varying dynamics.
I have kept this one fairly short for the purposes of the Disquiet project. Some longer drones with visuals on Youtube, including:

Disquiet Junto Project 0599: Minimal(ist) Blend
The Assignment: Make a piece of music that combines self-contained minimalist parts.

I started with four self-contained ambient drone tracks, all created with granular synthesis. Then I wanted to mix them with different granular tools, but they lost their character and I didn't like the result. Then I wanted to mix them so that each of the four tracks overlapped once with every other track (about 50%), both front and back. I thought this would be clever because it would be the opposite of the Musifestival Berns theme of "√" overlapping 4x4 tracks (^2!), but you only seem to need 12 to overlap all the tracks together … Anyway: the crossfades are simple in-out mixes, and as a result of my efforts, you'll hear each of the four tracks (mostly) just as they crossfade with another. The result is 30 minutes long, sorry for that, but I liked this version so much more than all the others. - Is it 'minimal'? I doubt it, but I had fun.


For scientific reasons I also uploaded the self-contained ambient drone tracks:

https://soundcloud.com/winterer/sour
https://soundcloud.com/winterer/salty
https://soundcloud.com/winterer/sweet 
https://soundcloud.com/winterer/bitter

All covers by Midjourney ("a cover for an ambient album named sour / salty / sweet / bitter"…), final cover is a blend of them. I was not able to prevent Midjourney from using halucinated writings.

Emerging Flavours [disquiet0599]

Disquiet Junto Project 0599: Minimal(ist) Blend
The Assignment: Make a piece of music that combines self-contained minimalist parts.

This project is the second of three that are being done in collaboration with the 2023 Musikfestival Bern, which will be held in Switzerland from September 6 through 10. The topic this year is « √ » — as the organization explains: “the radical, or square root symbol and the power of its symbolism are central to the festival and these will be translated into music in multifarious ways.” All three projects will engage with the work of Éliane Radigue, who is the Composer-in-Residence for the 2023 festival.

We are working at the invitation of Tobias Reber, an early Junto participant, who is in charge of the educational activities of the festival. This is the fifth year in a row that the Junto has collaborated with Musikfestival Bern.

Select recordings resulting from these three Disquiet Junto projects may be played and displayed throughout the festival. Anyone who’s interested in having their work included in the event should set their download option to “on.”

Step 1: You’re going to record a piece of music with between four and seven self-contained parts that get combined in various ways as the piece progresses. These parts should be minimalist. Drones would work well. Record a selection of such parts.

Step 2: Mix the parts recorded during Step 1 into a single work. When doing so, explore how different combinations achieve different ends, and how you handle transitions. (Also: consider lightly transforming the material by utilizing granular synthesis.)

Eight Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0599” (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 “disquiet0599” (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-0599-minimal-ist-blend/

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.

Step 8: Also join in the discussion on the Disquiet Junto Slack. Send your email address to marc@disquiet.com for Slack inclusion.

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.

Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, June 26, 2023, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, June 22, 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).

Back to nature (Part 3) - disquiet0599

Disquiet Junto Project 0600: Reaching Out
The Assignment: This is a shared sample project. Rework a set of seven WAV files provided by Marcus Fischer.

Step 1: The musician Marcus Fischer, long a friend of and participant in the Disquiet Junto, has graciously put together a set of shared samples that will be the source audio for this project. Part of the beauty of a shared sample project is that there will be an underlying quality — a tonality, a texture, a commonality — to all the disparate works that are produced from the foundational material. Listening to the variations as they surface will be its own special source of pleasure. You can access the files here:

https://www.dropbox.com/t/TGexgpq93GPLGFxE 34

Step 2: You can rework the audio from Step 1 in any way that you see fit. You can use all of it, or just one tiny piece, or whatever subset you find strikes your ear. The one stipulation is your finished piece should begin and end with an unadulterated segment of one of the provided tracks for at least two seconds. Please credit Marcus Fischer when posting your track.

Eight Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0600” (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 “disquiet0600” (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.
