the edge of the world
– the road vanishes into
a curtain of mist

NonsenseXXIIIcablesloop(disquiet0529)

Probably the simplest piece of music I've made. 3 tracks of the same static noise, offset slightly in pitch to create a phasing effect. Resonant filters fade in and out over time to create a chord with shifting emphasis.

Disquiet 0530 bare

This recording follows the inspiration of the Disquiet Junto Project 0537 (see below): How could a apologetic car horn sound like ?
The track presents a quiet side street, its atmosphere augmented by different musical elements. Some cars apologize for driving by and disrupting the calm by sounding their apologetic melody, and in the end this horn melody leads a life of its own.

I thank blaukreuz for providing the wonderful field-recording
https://freesound.org/people/blaukreuz/sounds/521000/
which inspired much of this track.

This project was proposed by Rob Walker.

Apologetic Conveyance (Disquiet0537)

This track is intended as meditation music in a stressful situation: it allows the listener to connect with the music in their agitated state and then let it lead them into a state of relaxation as the composition slows down step by step, leaving the stressful elements aside.
The track starts in the chaos of city traffic and transforms into an underwater world intended to provide calm.

A new track building on and extending the first section can be found at https://soundcloud.com/rabmusiclab/urban-traffic-folly

This composition was inspired by the Disquiet Junto Project 0538, which proposed to create a piece of music for exactly the purpose described above.

I want to thank bkowshik for providing the recording of traffic in Bangalore https://freesound.org/people/bkowshik/sounds/439218/ and naturenotesuk who kindly provides the underwater field-recording https://freesound.org/people/naturenotesuk/sounds/625412/ under the Attribution 4.0 licence https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Assisted Deceleration: From Traffic To Underwater (Disquiet0538)

My submission for the Disquiet Junto 0539: Let your slow breathing guide a piece of music.
I recorded my breath and loaded it into Nysthi's Quad Simpler. I derived two melodies, a fast one and a slow bass melody, by applying sample & hold to the recording. The loudness of the recording also controls the brightness of the high melody. And then I introduced two more melodies that may have been inspired by Tangerine Dream's Atem and Pink Floyd's Breathe. The tempo is an approximation of the speed of my breath, but since my breathing is not perfectly regular, there is no strict rhythm in the whole piece.

Control Breath (disquiet0539)

Control Breath(disquiet0359)

My breath and our cat, Lulu's, purring. The original recordings are subjected to distortions, gatings, and convolution and blackhole reverbs. They are also filtered with frequenies and resonances modulated by envelope followers on the breath/purr. The original breath is allowed into the mix here and there.

this track is an entry to disquiet Junto Project 0189 - to create a dense stack of attack-free tonal material from one audio source.
I used tuning forks over guitar pick up  ( yes i did this once before) through eq pedal and line 6 looper. Each improvised take was recored to minidisc...and then into computer and layered up 6 times...or so.... until I liked it  and hit the right concentration of tones.

Swells [disquiet 0189:tone layer]

Interested in collaborative projects -  The more inappropriate the better.  London based. home built noise toys and circuits, broken tape recorders, hex bugs in biscuit tins. Field recordings of air conditioning outlets.broken cassettes. and maybe the odd bit of class gear.

maxims:

If you dont like the sound of out of tune guitars  then you dont like the sound of  guitars.

Try again, fail better
