Disquiet Junto Project 0650: Doppler, Interrupted
The Assignment: Record a piece of music in which a passing siren blossoms into something else entirely

There is just one step this week:

Record a piece of music in which a siren — such as that of an emergency vehicle — passes by, across the stereo spectrum, from left to right, but as it passes through the center, it transforms into something else entirely, and that sound continues to evolve as it proceeds to the right and eventually fades into the distance.

First layer (free samples):
delta-7-evacuation-siren L
haunting-siren-in-the-distance C
fire-truck-siren R

Second layer (free samples):
civil-defense-siren R
alarm-air-raid-siren L

These 2 sounds repeatedly travel throughout the sound space (from 90L to 90R). 
When they are in the center they trigger other instrumental samples and various FX.

Thanks for your attention.

Doppler, Interrupted R 181 (II) (disquiet0650)

Recorded on 20 Jul 2020 & 20-22 Jun 2024. Mixed and mastered on 22 Jun 2024 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa. 

I like to have the computer improvise in one of the ways they do best - randomization &  modelled systems (in this case bouncing balls) - because it provides unexpected surprises that push my imagination to places that improvising with other people has never even remotely approached. If I am lucky, my end results are often filled with many layers that are not so obvious on the first few listens. 

Process notes - 

On Thursday night -
I loaded up Bitwig with a variation on Polarity's Markov variations Grid patch to guide Arturia's MS-20V for a few minutes and exported.

On Friday, I imported what I did in Bitwig into an Ableton Live track and also imported a guitar improvisation I did with a Floyd Rose Speedloader Discovery into a Digitech Vocal 300 in 2020. I pulled three different sections from the guitar improvisation into three MIDI tracks in Live - each triggered by a copy of Dillon Baston's Inspired By Nature Bouncy Notes and each with a different version of Monolake's Granulator. I let the defaults stand and let the computer do the rest. I included a copy of Sketch Cassette on each track as a tribute to the 4-track cassettes I used in the past and to underscore my choice to only use four tracks on this piece.

On Saturday, I bounced the guitar tracks into audio, stretched each one and finessed fades. On one guitar track, I included a copy of Cycling 74's Fragulator, just because it rhymes with Granulator.

The Girl With The Flash Frozen Mirror (disquiet0651)

In response to the recent Disquiet Junto challenge:

This week’s prompt was proposed by George E. Lewis, musician, music theorist, music professor at Columbia University, and artistic director of the International Contemporary Ensemble. Lewis is the composer-in-residence at this year’s Musikfestival Bern.

Lewis asks, “Why do we want our computers to improvise?”

This week’s project: record a piece of music that responds in some way to Lewis’ question.

An answer could be, that it helps with creativity. 
For this track Randolon sequencer (by Charles E. Platel) plays Glockenspiel and Arctic Swells (Spitfire audio LABS). I added a track created with Havoxicon ( by Johan van Kreij).



Conversation about feelings with a nice robot (disquiet0651).

This is my submission for this week's Disquiet Junto project.

Banded Structures [disquiet0651]

UNCONFIRMED

Whispers before the wild

Let me introduce you to my new side project: AWAKINO. An amusement park for electronic experiments – more rhythmical structures, occasional club references, straight from my e-smogplayground studio.

Digital-only, spontaneous, often just sketches – raw and imperfect. Flirting with Synthi-Pop at times – but always a bit weird around the edges.

Here’s the very first EP, uploaded straight to Mirlo – a charming alternative platform beside the big players. Cheers.
