"Compose a short piece of music using only sine waves and the surface sounds of vinyl played on a turntable." Part of the Disquiet Junto composing group. Not currently having a turntable in the house I turned to the net and found this wonderful collection of vinyl sounds: http://99sounds.org/vinyl-noise-sfx/ Thanks Chia! I found some rhythmic activity that inspired me in the collection so pulled s...

Created in response to a poem and a sad part of history. "Poisoned Waterhole: Violent disregard echoes. Keenly felt today." by Peita Vincent This poem and history has particular personal significance for me. The being a white man as part of a land that was so violently colonized has been part of my journey of knowing myself: the sadness and guilt and anger and activism and acceptance and hope and...

MAde using only the samples provided in the first challenge in the Bellingen Ableton Project group.

"Record a piece of music that that is inspired by the constituent elements in (the various facets of) an eclipse, what it means in terms of sensory experience — in cultures ancient and contemporary." I was just about to have a quick saxophone practice when I read the instructions for this weeks Disquiet Junto. Then the idea of doing a response just with the sax appeared. I set up some mics and sta...

This was created from a sample from "Lost Souls Introduction" part of the "Across The Top Suite" by Paul Cutlan with Brett Hirst and The Noise. See: http://www.paulcutlan.com/across-the-top

Flying into a new solar system, each planet appears, feeling the resonance of the system, then a slight dimension shift and life is found. TRAPPIST-1.

Waking early I took myself and a flute down to the beautiful creek. After an hour of Chi Gung I sat next to the creek and thought of everyone I have ever met all around the world, everyone that I have smiled at, that I have shared a space, a room, a plane, that I have walked passed in the street and everyone that all those people love, and everyone else in the world where I have never been. I will...

Talking to the drone. Chose to plug a mic into modularland, mainly Mutable Instruments Clouds, then out into DOD VGS50 guitar pedal board, then into LogicX. Levels low and noisy yet too late at night to bother fiddling with it too much. Played [https://soundcloud.com/papernoise/kurodama-half-a-duet-disquiet0269] though a couple of times whilst getting it set up, then was happy with the first take,...

This piece was created in response to the Haiku by Amy Lowell: The chirping of crickets in the night Is intermittent, Like the twinkling of stars. As part of the 161st Haiku challenge by Naviar Records. It was recorded on a Zoom H6, which was pointed into the orchard whilst I sat on the balcony listening to the night, looking at the sky and playing flute. One take, no edits, just some compression...

Create a piece of music using only two provided samples...... I used Photosounder to stretch the Nebelhorn sample to 3 minutes as well as a subby version of the same. Then in Logic actually got inspired by the clicks at the end of the Distant Train sample, Found a loop, made a kick thing from the subby version of Nebelhorn, Made a beat. Layered what I had and arranged it all making adjustments, in...

When first thinking about this project I had two ideas. One was to use Photosounder to make an ambient piece that was identical forwards and backwards, maybe using the image with this weeks challenge as part of it. The other was to write a simple melody that would sound good forwards and backwards. Taking "Never odd or even" as a palindrome would mean that the spaces between the letters (or notes)...

Disquiet Junto Project 0250: Soothing Sounds for Junto Make some peaceful music for an infant child. This one I pretty much composed in my head whilst gardening then quickly put it together in the studio at night. Logic X, East West Sample library, field recording at home.

2, 4, 6, Base, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 36..... Step 2: Record a simple, rhythmic piece of music increases speed as it proceeds. First it will double, then it will quadruple, and then it will sextuple. (It can do this once, or it can do it in repeating cycles.) So I sampled myself, from my 2009 album "Ciudades Del Alma". A groovy Sax jam, slowed it down to speed it up then sped it up to too much. Followin...

Inspired by a haiku by Yu Chang http://www.ahapoetry.com/PP0601..htm Image remixed from a photo by photodarren https://flic.kr/p/ouGb7g This piece was created, recorded live playing one long low D on a Roland Juno-D while manipulating the Filter Cutoff, Resonance and LFO Speed and Depth.

I had a Jam with my mate Manny (https://soundcloud.com/alayasounds) on Sunday night, me on Sax and FX, him on modular synth and Elektron keys. On Monday between meetings and work I edited this together from the raw material of our first jam. Stretched/looped a long sax note to make the drone then found another bit of sax that was percussive and looped that and had it fading up then added a section...

A half hour evolving drone piece made by initially really really stretching a bit of saxophone that was used in https://soundcloud.com/benn-demole/emerge-submerge-disquiet0240. Thanks to a https://soundcloud.com/fitn video for the inspiration.

Thank you 337is, Ohm Research and tretschinken from giving permission to derive from your derivations of: “HNY” off the album Wormbole by ʞık (Karl & Karlik) and “Pepper Jelly” off the album Recombinations by Andre Darius and Riley Theodore and “Autista 3” off the album Autista by Pablo Reche I was inspired by the depth and spaciousness of 337is's work then built up the loop from there with bits a...
