Based on this duo

by @dawn-falls-654459054 and John Wright

Out of all the excellent and inspiring duos from last week, I couldn't resist jumping on this track:

"second of a few 2 (disquiet0748)" by Dawn Falls, based on John Wright’s original Junto 0747, "The First of a Few."

I loved the spicy, spiky, and frantic pace of both original tracks. To match that energy, I added my own SPASMODIC yet rhythmic synth bass using the Oberheim OB-X.

Then I spent two hours playing like crazy, concentratiing on my right hand with left hand Tweaking the pitch wheel and filter cutoff for some movement.

I recorded four takes of pure nonsense, then "Frankensteined" the best bits of each take together.

I wanted to build a proper groove out of it. I tried the chord changes @rabmusiclab kindly and precisely noted in his post, but I thought it might be more tempting for an eventual 3rd collaborator if I kept it Dm modal. And easier for me :-)

To accentuate the groove thing (and shift the focus from the floating ambient side) I added a 1-bar drum machine and a very simple bass part, then tried a second, more choppy bass take. I kept the beginning and end of the first take and the middle section of the second.

Electronic, lyrical synth piece in a cinematic / soundtrack style.

All sounds performed on Oberheim emulations by GForce Software: DMX, OB-E and OB-X.

Warm pads, slow harmonic movement, and a gentle rhythmic pulse supporting a melodic line that unfolds gradually.

Created by DD, late April 2026.

This is just a jam on my Höfner bass over the glitchy groove from last week:

I initially wanted to push it into a dub direction — not sure it fully works — but I had fun adding delays and plate reverbs to bring out that feel.

It follows the two-part structure of the original. In the first part I went with F minor, but when the more bell-like tones come in, it started to feel more tonal/major to me (was it?), so I switched to F major. I’m not totally convinced by that second part though.

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0747-and-a-one-1-3/

Ambient piece built entirely from four electric bass parts, mostly harmonics, creating a light and floating texture.

Sunny, positive, and slowly evolving, with a soft underlying pulse holding everything together.

Composed and performed by DD.

Starting point: something I do too often.

I tend to begin with a bass improvisation — familiar voicings, something that immediately feels “me” — and then reshape it until the source disappears, even if the identity remains.

This piece comes from a one-hour session: bass, a sustain-like effect, tremolo (Seymour Duncan Shape Shifter), and long reverbs/delays. No overdubs, just letting the signal decay into itself.

The almost infinite tails create a shimmering drone that becomes the real structure — something I rely on more than I probably should.

@disquiet

Electro-acoustic quietly epic trailer music, electric bass strumming chords, floating soundscape with orchestral rises an blasts, real bowed bass section glissandos and low, rumbling drones. Mysterious trailer-like cinematic and atmospheric.

Composed and recorded by DD early 2026.

Groove-led jam built on Höfner bass and drums.

Hammond organ and guitar (Telecaster) layered on top — mostly one take, lightly edited.

This is my first recording with my new Höfner "Violin Bass", real drums performed by the great Steve Argüelles.

Just a slow, groovy jam to get to know the peculiar sound of this new instrument.

For this junto challenge:

First proper outing with a Höfner violin bass.

Improvised over Steve Argüelles' drums, then added Hammond organ and Telecaster — mostly one take, lightly edited.
