Disquiet Junto

XiiixxiQ - Track History [ 2022 -      ]

XiiixxiQ is the latest version of the experiment that was the Euclidean Chromaticon/Rhythmicon. It can be downloaded from KVR for free [ https://www.kvraudio.com/product/xiiixxiq-by-xiiixxiq ]

An intermediate version, released in July 2023 named Roundels won the Wildcard entry in the 2023 Developer Challenge.

There is a video available on YouTube [ https://youtu.be/qPUX9q8iqXQ ] which runs through some of the basic concepts behind the sequencer

Disquiet Junto Project 0697: First Third
The Assignment: Record the first third of a trio.

Please note: While this project is the start of a three-part sequence that will unfold over the course of three consecutive weeks, you can participate in any or all three of those parts. 

Step 1: This week’s Junto project is the first in a sequence intended to encourage and reward collaboration. You will be recording something with the understanding that it will remain unfinished for the time being. Your part will be done, but more will happen. Read on.

Step 2: The plan is for you to record a short and original piece of music using any instrumentation of your choice. Conceive the piece as something that leaves room for something else — other instruments, other people — to join in. (Keep in mind that your piece resulting from this week’s project will be panned to the left in the second and third weeks of this sequence.)

Step 3: Record a short piece of music, roughly two to three minutes in length, as described in Step 2. 

Step 4: This is important: be sure to make your track downloadable because it may be used by someone else in the next Disquiet Junto project, and the one after that.

Deadline: Monday, May 12, 2025, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.

PREMIERE: Fur Coat - Solitary Road (Original Mix) [Renaissance Records]

While building and coding my own electronic music instruments I used the function “void loop ()”, which loops the embedded code. This track starts on a setup phase with a long build-up as the tempo quickens. It then loops endlessly with intense synth and rhythmic sequences and other tempo changes.

11 samples created from looping short sections taken from a pre-existing piece entitled 'Narrative' [ https://soundcloud.com/xiiixxi/narrative ]. The volume of each continuously sounding loop is auto-faded in and out using a pair of linked oscillators in addition to being shaped to bring each to the front once at least once throughout the duration of the piece.

A groove in Dm @ 104 bpm played on a mahogany guild parlour guitar with a figure overdubbed. A foundation on which to ground your energy for the long struggle ahead.

Solo ronroco, 2 microphones, a great sounding room, some convolution reverb added.

This is  a simple idea I've been practising today, recorded Thursday 8th may 2025 at noon, first and only take.

Ronroco Lullaby (disquiet0697)

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! 🎶🎡

Disquiet Junto | First Third - disquiet0697

@PlayPalMusic 's head honcho @TenienteCastillo returns with this 2nd EP on the label, boasting three  original tracks of beauty, alongside three superb remixes from long term label contributors Thomass Jackson, Rigopolar and Theus Mago.

In 'Life Is Showing You A Dialogue That Needs Your Attention', Castillo tightly ties some of the deepest and darkest audio elements to shake and sign on; throbbing and relentless basslines, gristly atmospheric pads, raw snares and buzzing guitar licks. elements that define what's become his signature sound.

@ThomassJackson adds a growly eastern vibe. The clangs, toms, bleeps and squelches give way to naughty but nice ode to the sunrise, befitting of the Calypso Records boss.

Teniente Castillo - Life Is Showing You A Dialogue That Needs Your Attention (Thomass Jackson Rmx)

A staple of Germany’s house scene with regular appearances at Leipzig’s ELSTERARTIG, Berlin’s Ritter Butzke and Munich’s PALAIS Club, Marc Werner is known for releasing on leading labels like Variety Music, RH2 and Bunny Tiger.

Debuting on Kittball in 2016, Werner’s return sees him once again in fine form bringing zig zagging acid, emotive vocals and a deep bass groove in ‘Temporary’. Juliet Sikora’s take focuses on a robotic lead line and crunchy percussion until Sven Tasnadi’s rework takes it back to the old school, working the lyrics into a classic house sample combined with crunchy claps, shaking tambourines and floating horn melodies.

Marc Werner ‘Temporary’ drops on Kittball on 25th July 2019.

All here, in reality, are works in progress and are therefore apt to change at any time. All those except XIII Sisters and RAW which, as many of you may have done, I literally gave away in return for their placement in a library. Something I won't be doing again any time soon. If you have a use for something you hear here please just ask.

ChatGTP said of AI Music...
'Creative AI tools can be seen as sophisticated plagiarism software, as they do not produce genuinely original content but rather emulate and modify existing works by artists subtly enough to circumvent copyright laws'

Sometimes it takes a dispassionate, independent view to actually see the truth of it ...

There are links to XiiixxiQ below. Your mileage may vary as to whether it decides to work on your system or not. It only runs on a Mac because I really don't have time to do all the necessary work to make it compatible with anything other than my 2015 MacBook Pro :-(. It is still being developed (for my own use) and improved, and I may yet get round to doing another release if I can find the time to tidy it all up.
