Disquiet Junto Project 0621: The Leftovers
The Assignment: Use recently discarded material to make something new.

Step 1: At the end of the calendar year, people often participate in holidays that result in lots of leftover food. Think about the leftovers — discarded tracks, or MIDI files, or ideas — that result from your music-making process.

Step 2: Scrounge around on your hard drive and recording equipment, and in your memory, to access the sort of creative leftovers that came to mind in Step 1.

Step 3: Make a new track primarily using the resources that surfaced in Step 2. You can, of course, add new material. And be sure to reheat sufficiently.

. . .

Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, November 27, 2023, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, November 23, 2023.

I've been exploring scanned synthesis - and this is a glitchy little number using that approach to interpret the latest haiku from Naviar Records ... Enjoy!

gale in the mountains –
watch how the fallen blossoms
carpet the water

The Leftovers

Disquiet Junto | The Leftovers - disquiet0621

Suss Müsik’s entire creative practice is centered around the quest to derive gold from detritus. It’s likely an attribute shared with carefree art school days of an earlier era: a time when post-modern photography, sweaty punk rock, and ramen noodles served as daily sustenance.

“Photographs, so much a part of our daily lives, become highly self-conscious when pulled from the fraying of their ordinary locations,” wrote the art critic Julia Ballerini in 1989. “They refer back to their origins in a different voice … suggest[ing] a complexity of potential attachments, detachments, and reconfigurations.”

For this week’s project, Suss Müsik utilized four handmade devices recently built from material laying around the workshop: a digital sample trigger, a joystick-activated grain synth, a touchscreen MIDI device, and a touchscreen modulation controller. These were used to manipulate sonic material (loops, found audio, etc.) from the backlog, some of which has been in the works for more than eight years.

Given the nature of this week’s offering, Suss Müsik captured the session on video.

The piece has no title and was recorded live to a TASCAM 8-track.

Pinch Appeal (disquiet0621)

I'm In The House (disquiet0621)

This relates to Disquiet project 0615 where I uploaded a track from a small group I had recorded which I found generally unsatisfactory.  Nevertheless, I kept these tracks on file & this effort derives from one of them. I have attempted to make it more interesting by changes to tempo, pitch, & dynamics, together with some additional delay & reverb.

Presentable (disquiet0621)

This was a fun prompt because it - again! - made me do something new. I have a lot of “leftovers” in Ableton Note on my phone because I use it often to doodle around, kill time - like a quick drawing in a notebook or even playing a short round of Tetris. I never finished anything with it, probably also because I have not used Live in many years. Note has an export feature that saves all parts in one file. I used this on an ambient doodle with flutes and synth sweeps. The export emphasized the sweeps and sort of mixed the parts together - I really don’t understand how this feature works! The result sounded interesting though and I processed it with granchild on Norns. I then added some bells to finish my reheated menu of leftovers.

LE NUVOLE VOLUBILI INTERLUDIO Amorese

Les enfants du large
Ghost of the Sea
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Director Virginia Tangvald
Music Rémi Boubal

Pour Les enfants du large, je cherchais une musique qui ne souligne pas l’émotion mais qui la traverse. Rémi Boubal a su trouver cet équilibre en composant une partition empreinte à la fois d’une grande délicatesse et d’expressivité, capable de soutenir le récit sans jamais l’alourdir. Il a su traduire l’ambivalence de l’aventure en mer — à la fois exaltante et mélancolique, lumineuse et insondable — sans appuyer, sans illustrer. Sa musique porte la part tragique du film avec une grande finesse, en laissant toujours de l’espace au silence, au doute, à l’errance. Elle évoque le souvenir sans le figer, la perte sans pathos. Le thème final ne conclut rien, mais il apaise. Il laisse partir. Cette bande originale est pour moi une trace sensible, souterraine, de cette traversée.

-Virginia Tangvald


Les enfants du large (Ghosts of the sea)

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.
