Ambient 3

A lightless cave full of subjugated humans. We do not know why they sing.

Empty Anthem

This work is based on a single sound source—bubbling water. Through time-stretching, reversal, reverb, and distortion, the original organic fluidity is gradually stripped away, transforming into cold, violent mechanical howls and fragmented noise. This sonic metamorphosis symbolizes the alienation of human souls under the rules of capitalism, ultimately crushed and consumed by the system.

Acousmatic Sketch No.4“Erasure”[2025-03-23]

My track notes regarding the creation of this track can be found here: https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0691-un-ravel/71303/7

**Disquiet Junto Project 0691: Un-Ravel**  
The Assignment: Make a recording of a string quartet fall apart.

Step 1: Download the first movement of the Ravel string quartet at this URL: [https://bit.ly/un-ravel](https://bit.ly/un-ravel)

The original source is the Internet Archive: [Capet String Quartet - Ravel (Col. D 15057-60) 1928 : Capet String Quartet : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive](https://archive.org/details/3-capet-sq-col-d-15057-60-ravel-1928-mov-3/)

Step 2: Listen to the track closely.

Step 3: Create a new piece of music by employing the provided recording as source material. The goal for your piece is that it should make the Ravel sound like it is falling apart — that is, like it is unraveling, or un-Ravel-ing.

[Disquiet Junto 0691] Liminal Maurice

the prompt here was to play a piece from sheet music, and then sort the notes in alphabetical and length order. so here are 2 passages of sorted notes, one plays straight through. the other loops three times in the bass. additionally the main passage of sorted notes plays through at 4x speed against a sample bank for some rhythmic scrunches.

in order [disquiet0693]

i like how this came out, and plan to integrate it into my slowly expanding project at https://museumofhistoricalmaterials.bandcamp.com

a frantic 5/4 reworking of a 4/4 track i've been working on this week. mellotron via m-tron pro iv. blackhole immersive, ds tantra 2 and imagiro autochroma pad things out in the return channels. at 30s, an ableton percussion rack (EFX Small Cymbals) starts playing out a morse code message: "kaufmann, you scumbag".

Oh NO! 😱 Look what's come out in the wash! 😳 It's a re-re-re-remix ... ! 😮

So this all started with a remix of a brilliant Tingle Taspestry ASMR video, which you can sink your teeth into at https://youtu.be/JrczIGHyJzU ...

A 'stress busting' experimental super loop version that forms the basis of THIS track can be sampled at https://youtu.be/yb6mBbDePxY ...

Enjoy!! 😁

The strangest things happen when walking down the stairs at Bolsover Castle in Derbyshire, UK ... and all the sounds you hear here are from that odd little trip downwards ... see the video at https://youtu.be/TH2gczMinQ8

Thanks to the little kid who provided the vocal snippet! 🙏

So, this is the first third of a trio for the Disquiet Junto ... It's deliberately incomplete - simply a beat track ... Want to add another layer? What does it need to your ear? Check out the Disquiet brief for the next two weeks ... ❤️ Download this audio and have a play! 🎶🎡

Part I [disquiet0697]

As usual, there is an abundance of fantastic pieces to collaborate with. I finally decided on Aaron Hofman's work, because there was something about its slightly off kilter ambience that seemed to suit the later spring rain that is settling in for a few days. I added just a bit of gritty drone, augmented with a bit of reverb to further set the mood.

El Dorado

Old school sampling in a nutshell. Using an Emu E4X dinosaur, best filters I've ever heard, but what do I know. The Emu was horrible to work with, that I do know. Bounced the lot to Ableton

a voce piena

A place for sound freaks lashing out from the dark. 

So there's all kinds of stuff on this page, but after months of schizophrenic debates about who was playing with who and who took the lead while doing it, finally, the decision was made: all my alter egos got together and decided to form a band. From 2020 on new tracks are created under the moniker Gruppo Infernal. Only pure MMTJ tracks will still be named as such. 

Gruppo Infernal still relies on my work as Me, my Thumb and Jack, an ongoing quest for a liberating approach to sound creation where the human body acts as an oscillator amplifying the natural 50hz hum. Direct live recording, improvisations and delay loops only using analog filters and effects. No editing, no overdubs. Gruppo Infernal adds digital treatment to this original sound material. 

UnterPitch was an alter ego using samples & synths.
Bleached Coffins was a one-off project using guitars.
