Disquiet Junto Project 0574: Audio Journal 2022
The Assignment: Create a sonic diary of the past year with a dozen (or more) super-brief segments.

As soundcloud already is my musical diary, the filter was "published on soundcloud, but not for disquiet junto and not a Bandcamp album". By synchronicity the result was 23 tracks. Triggered by this number, I set the speed in Reaper to 22bpm and decided to give them all some bars. Each snippet is now 10.909 seconds long, which I could not relate to 22 or 23, but it's the day the Truman show went wrong (and the movie started 24 years ago). The audio excerpt of each track was mostly choosen visually in the end of the first third. I preferred light fades (25% of the lenght) over hard cuts. Some volume corrections. No FX. Fun fact: this is now track 23 on "disquiet III", my (free) album with (selected 'best') tracks I did for the junto in 22. https://krakenkraft.bandcamp.com/album/disquiet-iii

Under the twilight sky (naviarhaiku595)

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.

Sound Ripples is a sound installation by Marco Sebastiano Alessi, created for the Sapporo Tenjinyama Art Studio. Inspired by the cultural legacy of the Ainu people, Alessi and members of the online music community Naviar Records reflected on the roots of their own local traditions, and created sounds inspired by the landscapes and stories of their respective environments.
Combining field recordings from across Japan, ambient compositions by Naviar Records’ community, and sounds captured during Alessi’s time in Sapporo, this installation invites listeners to experience sound as a vessel of memory, transmission, and transformation.
This immersive experience aims to highlight the importance of music as a connector that brings cultures into dialogue: a medium that transcends space and time to build bridges between distant communities.

This is my response to this week's @naviar-records haiku challenge. Here's the details about that: 

"Under the twilight sky
light shimmering on the pond -
swallows in autumn"

Dakotsu Iida trained under Takahama Kyoshi, and was chief editor of the poetry journal Unmo until his death. His son Ryuta Iida, a famous haiku poet himself, took over as the editor of Unmo after his father’s death.

More on the 701st weekly Disquiet Junto project, Gap Ear — The Assignment: Break apart a piece of music and fill the resulting spaces — at https://disquiet.com/0701/

my first contribution to this format since it totally matches my usual workflow.

Audite -- Post-Noise Soundscape -- Disquiet0701

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0705: Book Start. The Assignment: Let the beginning of a book help you begin a new piece of music.

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 07045 discussion thread on Lines:

“The girl and the elderly man descended the steep stairs to the channel's narrow beach and walked along by the water's edge. Several small fishing boats were moving out to sea, passing a freighter entering the bay, booms raised, a…” 

So starts the first story in a collection of fascinating and contemplative short stories in “The Infinite Passion of Expectation” by Gina Berriault. I randomly picked the book, which had been sitting on our bookshelf for years, having read it decades ago. The stories, which take place in or around San Francisco, remind me of a unique, and sometimes surreal time in my life when I lived and worked there. 

This was created in Ableton Live and was inspired by the opening lines of the story, the book itself, and my reflection of a time many years ago. Thank you, I really enjoyed this prompt, and the creative journey it sent me on.
