**Production Notes**

Boy, this was a fun assignment! Don’t know about the other participants in this challenge, but it felt great to close my eyes and just start to play.  But first I learnt that it’s impossible to patch and play a three-row Modular blindfolded. There’s too much tactile information, too many knobs, and you get tangled in the cables. 

So I turned to the Cocoquantus for a gritty base pad sound. Finding knobs and patchpoints was much easier with this instrument. 

Next step was an Easel Command, which arrived just two weeks ago. I was quite nervous while playing it (still have a lot to learn), but actually, it was easier to wiggle than I thought. And it just felt great.  

Last step was the Moog Matriarch and its lovely delay. Again, I patched with my eyes closed, corrected a misplaced connection and started playing a bass, some chords and just some weird delay and filter sounds. 

Threw everything together in Ableton, pre-mastered in Ozone. Time spent: 3 hours.

** Disquiet Junto Project 0477: Flying Blind**

The Assignment: Record a piece of music in which some substantial portion is performed without looking.

There is just one step this week.

Step 1: Play something blind. That is to say, record a piece of music in which some substantial portion is performed without looking.

Seven More Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0477” (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 “disquiet0477” (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 tracks in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0477-flying-blind/

Step 5: Annotate your tracks 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.

Additional Details:

Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, February 22, 2021, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, February 18, 2021.

Length: The length is up to you. (You’re closing your eyes, not holding your breath.)

Stochastic Sextet (disquiet0477)

Disquiet Junto Project 0477: Record a piece of music in which some substantial portion is performed without looking.

I was doing something else on my iPad, sitting outside in the sun this afternoon, when the nearby bells belled. I suddenly remembered a sentence I read just yesterday, that natural idiophones where the best base for granular synthesis. I managed to record the already fading bells with the iPad and loaded copies of the samples into the Samplr App. It's three tracks with the original sample (I mixed the unchanged version to the beginning of the track), two of them very normal, one very high und unrecognisable as such. This settings and the recording in AudioShare I did by looking, then I flew blind, which is not impossible as Samplr gives you some defined area to touch (and you need to look to stop the machine or tracks with two fingers). But as the iPad surface does not give any haptic feedback, there were a lot of things going wrong anyway. This track uses around 5 minutes that sounded pretty good to me, but maybe it's just because I like church bells. Trivia: In this case it's the St. Maximilian church in Munich, Germany, and the bells have vintage names like Otto, Ludwig, Maximilian and Salve and they bell every saturday afternoon at 3 p.m. (and no, I didn't knew that until I checked Wikipedia for this description).

Tape Collage by The Land [disquiet0478]

My audio collage was made by setting up two radio music modules, one playing banks of unfinished tracks I'd done and another filled with audio recorded from public radio. I also set up the radio receiver on a Koma Field Kit to live scan an FM band, whilst the sources were triggered and scrubbed by a complex rats' nest of clock synced LFOs.
I can't really call it a composition as it was me simply setting up a process and documenting the chance encounter. Somewhat fortuitously the Field Kit locked onto a local station broadcasting Covid public service announcements hence the title. Consequently the mix is very rough and unpolished and the chance interplays of radio snippets is best heard on headphones.
