**Disquiet Junto Project 0692: Combust a Move**  
The Assignment: Make music using fire for the rhythm track.

There is just one step for this project: Record a piece of music in which the sound of fire — match, burner, cigarette, etc. — provides the primary source for the rhythmic track.

Self-Cleaning Mausoleum  (disquiet0695)

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! 🎶🎡

Here's my musical resonance to this week's haiku from excellent @naviar-records.

spring dream… not becoming unhinged
is what’s unbearable

So i decided to use my browser i use dozens of times a day and for turning what the web has to offer into music i gave SORA (ChatGPT image AI) this prompt: "i want to synthesize image content into a soundscape so i need some original spectral image to  load into visualans"
images i got which i loaded into PaintShop Pro i often use for my photographic work (Olympus E 520 and Nikon D3500) to crop, resize and sharpen softly
These resulting images were loaded in to WarmPlace.ru 'VisualANS' image resynthesis and exported to .WAV i could arrange in Ableton. Some of those sample material was chopped and arranged into beats to top two layers of retroish, oldschool, early era of electronic music sound layers.

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.
