A further installment in the Disquiet solitary ensembles.

I used this track as a basis https://soundcloud.com/petejahn/crowds-disquiet0429?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0429

Step 1: This week’s Disquiet Junto project is the second in a sequence intended to encourage and reward asynchronous collaboration. This week you will be adding music to a pre-existing track, which you will source from the previous week’s Junto project (disquiet.com/0429 4). Note that you aren’t creating a duet — you’re creating the second third of what will eventually be a trio. Keep this in mind. Leave space for what is yet to come.

Step 2: The plan is for you to record a short and original piece of music, on any instrumentation of your choice, as a complement to the pre-existing track. First, however, you must select the piece of music to which you will be adding your own music. There are tracks by 66 musicians in all to choose from, 64 as part of this playlist:

https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0429 11

Count as the 65th this track from Jason Richardson:

And count as the 66th this track from Samarobryn:

https://samarobryn.bandcamp.com/track/sui-generis-disquiet-0429 2

To select a track, you can listen through all that and choose one, or you can use a random number generator to select a number from 1 to 66, the first 64 being numbered in the above SoundCloud playlist, and 65 being Richardson’s and the 66th being Samarobryn’s.

Note: It’s fine if more than one person uses the same original track as the basis for their piece.

Also note: Be sure to look back at the discussion on Lines to see if any additional material related to your track is available, such as source code or MIDI data or video, which some of the tracks include:

Step 3: Record a short piece of music, roughly the length of the piece of music you selected in Step 2. Your track should complement the piece from Step 2, and leave room for an eventual third piece of music. When composing and recording your part, do not alter the original piece of music at all, except to pan the original fully to the left if it hasn’t been panned left already. In your finished audio track, your part should be panned fully to the right. To be clear: the track you upload won’t be your piece of music alone; it will be a combination of the track from Step 2 and yours.

The Assignment: Record the first third of a trio that others will complete.

Step 1: This week’s Junto project is the first in a sequence intended to invite, encourage, and reward collaboration. You will be recording something with the understanding that it will remain unfinished for the time being.

Step 2: The plan is for you to record a short and original piece of music, on any instrumentation of your choice. Conceive it as something that leaves room for something else — other instruments, other people — to join in.

Step 3: Record a short piece of music, roughly two to three minutes in length, as described in Step 2. When done, if possible, pan the audio so that your piece is solely in the left side of the stereo spectrum.

Step 4: Also, and this is important, be sure, when done, to make your track downloadable, because it will be used by someone else in the next Disquiet Junto project.

For Disquiet Junto. instructions were

"Step 1: Airplanes are noisy places, especially when at 35,000 feet. Consider the noise, especially the dense white noise, experienced by an airline passenger.

Step 2: Record a short piece of music that is intended to blend in with the industrial drone of modern air flight."

Another project for Disquiet Junto.

Based on samples from Patricia Wolf's Celluar Chorus - income ways this could be seen as a performance of that piece - although it does diverge a little from the original concept in not being played on mobile phones!

some music

Made for the 2019 Heard in the Dark in Epping Forest.

I was, perhaps understandably, in a reflective mood in early 2019 when I made this and it is a "travelogue" from the site of the first Heard in the Dark I went to, to Epping Forest , taking in a random and eclectic collection of memories on the way.......
