Great track! I really like how it makes me move...

Disquiet Junto Project 0584: Generations

The Assignment: Bridge a gap in your musical taste.

Step 1: Think of a sort of music you enjoy now that a much younger you might not have.

Step 2: Think of a sort of music that younger you enjoyed that you no longer are as fond of.

Step 3: Compose a piece of music that bridges the gap or otherwise finds common ground between the two types of music from Step 1 and Step 2.

. . .

Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, March 13, 2023, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, March 9, 2023.

Mutable Cicada_3 (disquiet0580)

Music is heard through a wall from the neighbouring room. Thoughts emerge and align to what is happening next door. Music arises matching to what is heard...

The track played behind the wall can be listened to directly here: https://soundcloud.com/rabmusiclab/dreamless-and-sublime

This track was inspired by the Disquiet Junto Project 0583:

Generations

Disquiet Junto | Generations - disquiet0584

Instrumental cue, hybrid jazz-rock

Recorded February 2023, mixed Friday 10th march 2023.


Live studio  improvisation with Miguel Yanover on sax (@yanomito), I played a nylon-string electric bass.
We jammed over a pre recorded (by me) drum track and later I overdubbed a Hammond Organ trying to save this one from the trash lid.

Still, even if I love the live sax and bass interplay, this is a great candidate to be a  "forever unused" track. So I'm glad to mix it this morning and share it here.

Cheers

Deromanticizing (disquiet0584)

Like most lads growing up in the late 70’s the guitar was the king of instruments and like most of my peers I worshiped at the various alters of the guitar gods. Here, subtlety was not a requirement and the louder and the more over produced the better. 

But then I graduated, went to university, read Deleuze and soon was grooving to the likes of Nurse With Wound, Throbbing Gristle, Brian Eno and Einsturzende Neubauten. I made music on tape machines, combed back alleys for old duct work to bring to my dorm room so that I could hook them up to contact mics and generally found pleasure in the obscure and at times unlistenable. 

Hence my homage and mangling of Boston’s “More than a Feeling,” which I would not listen to now. Although I would listen to listen to a cover of it by Genesis P-Orridge.

A note on method:

I sampled various bits of the song on a Music1010 BitBox, then sent various excerpts into Meng Qi’s Winger Pinger and recorded that. Then I randomly selected parts of that recording and sampled them with a Polyend Tracker, used the random fill and note section to jumble the samples and then played the whole thing through the Zoia to further chop and process it and recorded it once more. 

And true to the era, instead of just one song, I have created a concept album. So there are nine songs, all around 30 seconds long. Each one is less or more than a feeling I once had.

Johnny Chang - Citaric Melodies III

This creation is for the Disquiet Junto Project 0598: Mixmaster Mic.
The Assignment: Record the same sound with multiple mics; mix the results.
The sounds: improvised on the F integral handpan for 15 minutes based on a rhythm that came into my head while riding the stationary bike and watching Picard. Then improvised on the Cajon for 5 minutes based on the recent memory of the previous handpan session. 
Mic setup for handpan: condensor mic, cardiod dynamic mic, zoom handheld stereo recorder, gopro camera, organelle device set to a chorus effect at 50% wet, magnetic contact pickup attached to the handpan. For Cajon: The two microphones and the organelle. 
Process: stacked all the tracks and muted sporadically. Then muted more and more. Cut a few sections of the session for length. 
Thoughts: This was a great way to add some variation to a recording. I enjoyed the process and much of the results. I hope to use the process, or one like it, again. 
Fun things I heard: the sound of the floor creaking, the dog barking, my feet stomping. Happy accidents when the cajon and pan kind of lined up well even though they weren't played together.

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.

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.
