Solo unacompanied electric guitar (Fender Telecaster) with tremolo and tube amplifier. Recorded live thursday 23rd april 2026. Performed by DD, photo Malaysia 2025 by DD. For this shared project 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. Photo by DD, 10000 m high.

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 dec...

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. Photo by DD , Jardin Des Plantes (mineralogy section) Paris, France.

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.

Bass & DMX: Elastic Math A groove-driven instrumental built on electric bass and DMX drum machine. The pulse keeps shifting — time signatures stretch and contract, but the groove holds. The main focus is the tight Oberheim DMX drum program, a Fender Jazz Bass groove on top,, with small synth fragments appearing and dissolving around the rhythm. Elastic, unstable, but still grooves. Composed and pe...

BELLS & DRONES Electronic ambient / abstract experiment. One track of real bells from my collection layered with Oberheim synth emulations: two bell-like synth patches and several drifting drones, both low and high. A slightly unstable arpeggiator adds an off-tempo, almost tachycardic pulse beneath the texture. Created during the afternoon of March 12th in Paris, France. Composed and performed by...

Slowly shifting ronroco patterns — both melodic and percussive — create a panoramic acoustic texture inspired by phasing techniques. Small variations and gradual harmonic shifts unfold across the landscape, punctuated by deep upright bass notes and brief swells from a passionate string section. The ronroco, an Andean string instrument related to the guitar, carries the repeating figures while the...

A floating ambient guitar piece built around melody and shifting harmony. Recorded without a click — just following the phrasing and the state of mind in the moment. The Stratocaster electric guitar carries the theme, while Hofner bass responds with rhythmic ponctuations. ARP Odyssey and Oberheim OB-E synths expand the space with subtle textures. Quietly melancholic and introspective — reflective...

SHUT UP! Urban instrumental groove driven by Fender bass and brushed drums by Steve Argüelles. Acoustic guitar strums add an organic, smoother edge, while string orchestra textures expand the space with subtle dramatic swells — tight rhythm section energy meeting cinematic atmosphere. Unreleased. Originally written for a documentary soundtrack. Raw, restrained, and rhythm-forward. Composed by DD....

Follow The Clouds A slow-burning electronic instrumental built entirely on Oberheim synths (GForce DMX, OB-E, OB-X). A steady pulse anchors a repetitive bass figure, while evolving textures and small melodic fragments drift above it — unhurried, patient, suspended in motion. Inspired by this haiku: slowly gliding — a snail in the grass follows the clouds. Haiku by El Wud Photo by Tom Barrett Compo...

The Jungle Acoustic cinematic percussion piece. The pulse shifts from 6/8 into straight 4/4 while maintaining the same underlying tempo — the groove transforms without losing momentum. Organic textures, subtle trailer-style impacts, and sustained rhythmic tension carry the piece forward. Performed on real instruments: marimba, bombo, bamboo drums (tun / teponaztli), shakers, caxixi, and more. Comp...

An instrumental electronic piece driven by pulse, texture, and gradual transformation. Using only Oberheim synth emulations, a new sound and musical idea appears every four bars — briefly explored, then replaced, mimicking the restless logic of endless scrolling. A constant low drone and a steady, heartbeat-like pulse hold everything together, while textures and gestures shift above the surface. I...

A free guitar improvisation, recorded ad lib with no click. Electric guitar leads the performance, later joined by an ARP Odyssey in overdub—soft pads and melodic lines subtly doubling and shadowing the guitar. Inspired by the Crayola color Cosmic Cobalt: deep blue, luminous, slightly unreal. An intuitive, cinematic sketch where tone and space matter more than structure. Created by DD in the morni...

Fragile, warm, major chords are spread in a slow arc, like an string carillon. — a fully acoustic piece built without a click, letting time breathe. The first part unfolds as ascending-descending arpeggios, traveling from the lowest bass notes to the highest ukulele register, spanning several octaves across three instruments. The second part settles into repeating acoustic patterns, with tempo-bas...

A cinematic, ambient instrumental composed and performed yesterday and today, inspired by the sound world of Vangelis and his score for Blade Runner. Built exclusively with an ARP Odyssey, the piece unfolds slowly through drifting harmonies, analog motion, and sustained textures—evoking solitude, nocturnal images, and introspection. Composed and performed by DD, January 21st & 22nd 2026 For this w...

A solo electric guitar performance, recorded live in real time on an Epiphone Sheraton, using pedals only—no overdubs, no click, no edits. Slowly unfolding phrases, spacious delays, and sustained reverbs shape a floating, panoramic atmosphere, evoking open landscapes and road-movie imagery. The piece follows the natural flow of the performance: man, guitar, and space, without grid or constraint. C...

An ambient instrumental built from layered electric guitars—Stratocasters and Telecasters—combining five evolving atmospheric volume pedal parts with a restrained clean Strat lead. Slow-moving textures, sustained harmonics, and gentle melodic lyricism create a nocturnal, immersive soundscape, balancing stillness and motion. Composed and performed by Daniel DIaz. Photo by Filipe Resmini Inspired by...

A quietly epic, all-acoustic instrumental in 7/4, built around some simple melodic ideas voiced across ukuleles, acoustic guitars, and acoustic bass—exploring phrasing, articulation, and rhythmic displacement rather than repetition. Fingerpicked and slide guitar lines intertwine with a grounded bass pulse and muted, organic percussion, creating a sense of forward motion that feels both playful and...

A minimal Ebow-and-bass drone in E minor, built around a 12-note melody that dissolves one note per repetition. Recorded during a lyrical Ebow session, using long sustained tones and slow melodic reduction. A small ambient/minimalist experiment on top of a deep E drone. Part of the Disquiet Junto project: disquiet0728

Synthesisers, electric bass, instrumental jam. A quick experiment built from a pair of Oblique Strategies cards: “Honour thy error as a hidden intention” / “Just carry on” This track started as an improvised bass demo over a simple low-note loop meant to replace a click track. I accidentally recorded four mismatched fingerboard-taps while trying to sketch a candombe-style groove — and instead of d...

Equinae A world-repetitive, cinematic instrumental built entirely from acoustic strings: three ronrocos, one ukulele, and two Martin guitars, wrapped in subtle orchestral textures and infra-bass pulse. By DD, Paris, May 1st and 2nd 2025. The image is my photo of a fantastic sculpture by Alexandra Athanassiades (on a great exhibition in the Museum of Contemporary Art, Andros 2022)

Oddity Deep in the Night All sounds come exclusively from the GForce @gforce-software ODDITY3 — a beautiful emulation of the classic ARP Odyssey. This piece leans toward reflective, melodic ambient, with that vintage cinematic/synth soundtrack vibe of the early electronic pioneers (Vangelis, Tomita, Wendy Carlos…). Instrumental track inspired by this haiku: Deutzia in full white – deep in the nigh...

This one started as a simple electric-guitar-and-bass progression, just a rough idea that wasn’t really going anywhere. This week I expanded it with several synth layers and some floating eBow lines. Funny enough, the little gimmick in the middle section ended up giving the track its shape — a kind of slow, climatic crescendo that finally brought it to life. I re-recorded that line as an intro tod...

UN GAUCHO – solo bass A simple, heartfelt solo bass piece — part of a series of intimate instrumental moments I play live or record at home for fun. Five-string bass (high C), light effect pedals — just melody, warmth, and a great instrument. Thanks for listening! — dd Photo (C) Elena Nicolai For this @disquiet junto meeting https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0724-work-it Release: https:...
