Cool LIghtning and the Flash of Rain [disquiet0750]
I really, REALLY wanted to submit a track for the 750th Junto, and on Sunday I was S T U C K stuck. Something epic. Something epic. Uhhhhhh. Okay, okay. Wait. I have this MIRack shifting texture here, and another one here, one's minor, one's major, okay, I can work with this...now, epic. What do…

[disquiet0741] Hum of the Long Now
This is the first Junto I've done in a while. I decided that I was going to use the Python script that plays the Clock of the Long Now daily peal (the tintinabulation of the ten bells of the Clock is set to not repeat for 10,000 years). I recently converted it from an unholy combination of ChucK,...

[disquiet 0699] dripping dry
Raincat's interpretation of modusMatt's track was very damp indeed, so I decided to make it even more drippy. The sound source is a VCVRack patch, taking a randomized LFO into Plaits, a very, very drippy source. I put this through the Spacer plugin to bounce it around a little more, and tweaked…

The Pulse, The Hold (panned) [disquiet 0698]
The panned version of the original track; here if the next person along prefers it, but the unpanned version sounds MUCH better.
-
The Pulse, The Hold (unpanned) [disquiet 0698]
I loved the lazy feel of this track, so I poked around until I found a lead that harmonized rhythmically with that. A few experimental takes to get the feel of the harmony, and I had a line I felt complemented the existing track. Valhalla Supermassive for the win on the reverb. This version is...
-
C In (shuffled) [disquiet0639]
A different version, with the order of the sorted phrases randomized. Significantly more cacophonous. [Marc: the other one is the one to add to the playlist.]
-
C In (disintegrated) [disquiet0693]
# Disquiet Junto Project 0693: Melody Sorted The Assignment: Reorganize a familiar song note by note. I initially faffed around, thinking about sorting MIDI files (may still try this!) but what really got my attention was the idea of taking "In C", doing this operation on the fragments, and…

Lonely Pelican No More [disquiet0593]
I was listening through the tracks and hit "The Lonely Pelican Has a Friend" and it absolutely wowed me with its gorgeousness combined with just a bit of glitchyness. The delay on the guitar made me think about setting up a Frippertronics-like loop and playing that over top. I loaded the original...
-
Partially Erased [disquiet0507]
I decided to pull out one of my old favorite techniques for this one: using Paulstretch with unconscionably long windows (5 seconds, 10 seconds, 40 seconds...). This takes a sample and moves it from a musical gesture to a long harmonic drone. I started out with the ukelele track, and stretched it...
-
Stridula [disquiet0494]
This started as a Ripplemaker Krell patch; I added a lot of feedback and intermodulation to achieve the trill texture, then tweaked the wavefolding and FM slightly to get some variation in the trill. Recorded in AUM, uploaded via AudioShare, downloaded, and trimmed to 20 seconds in Audacity…

Operating Manual for the Muon Field Polishing and Quantum State Rotation Device [disquiet0467]
This track is a combination of old and new tools that I have been using and refining lately. Over the last few months, I've been moving more and more to modular and semi-modular synths. I've become very enamored of the West-Coast, Buchla-influenced sound and techniques, in particular the Krell...
-
Under the Blankets (for Roland) [disquiet0464]
The hidden track is a canon by Orlando di Lasso (1532-1594); since it itself is essentially a layered loop, I decided that I'd play it out once in Garageband, build out the canon in four voices, and then find loops in the loop library that worked with the harmonies in the canon. That turned out…

Malka Older – The Divided – Part 4/9 Disquiet0400 (Analysts Mix)
I decided that I really wanted to play around with rhythms in the speech for this Junto. I listened to the track by itself first, then in the context of the story, and decided I still wanted to stick with that first idea. I pulled three copies of the whole track into Live, and then processed one...
-
Buchla Bent(o)[disquiet 0381]
I started out trying to use the NI Bento Box and found it opaque. I couldn't get gates, routing was not transparent, and I just wasn't happy working with it. Marc suggested setting up a VCVRack patch for people who didn't want to install the Native Instruments software. I picked out the modules...

Despite Myself, It's Funky [disquiet0375]
“The Assignment: Make a piece of music that sounds as unlike you as you can accomplish.” Not ambient/beatless/experimental - check No careful editing and processing of the track - check Produced as fast as possible with no edits - check Not using a traditional instrument - check Not using…

Ceylon Batu Biru [disquiet0305]
Disquiet Junto 305: Three Princes I started listening to all of the tracks; when I heard the intro to "Surathal Ranwan Samanalayo" I stopped. Birdsong, cool, got it, two more to go...and then I hit Suralo Sapa De with the beautiful call-and-response at the beginning - and I knew I was done. And...
-
A Path of Totality [disquiet0292]
I decided to go back to an old tool for this Junto: Scape. This is a graphical composing program which runs on the iPad, and which lets you assemble generative scenes -- "scapes" -- from a large set of graphics with attached sounds and behavior. You can then create playlists that move from scene…

Ada Kucing Pada Gamelan [disquiet0235]
Translated: "There's a cat on the gamelan." In a complete departure for me, I decided that this challenge - many different random number checks, careful timings, and so on - were much better suited to automation than trying to run them myself, so instead of an improvisational approach, I decided...

Tired Hexhead Mutilato [disquiet0234]
I listened to the first thirty seconds of each of last week's submissions, and ended up picking "Tired Machines", "Hexhead", and "Il trio mutilato" as my sources, and I decided that I'd use Hexhead's signature motif as the focal point for my track. I clipped off the first thirty seconds of each...
