A Sea of Fog Ambient guitar piece inspired by the haiku by Akito Arima. A live electric guitar improvisation, with an overdubbed bass providing a slow, occasional pulse. An Oberheim OB-E doubles the main guitar throughout, while a second guitar trying sparse melodic lines around it. Suspended, floating, and quietly intense. Inspired by: through the keyhole the sea fog quietly flows in — Akito Arim...

A melodic electric guitar improvisation gradually viewed through a veil. The original performance is first presented clearly, then revisited with layers of treated reverbs that soften its edges while preserving the melody. An ARP Odyssey doubles the guitar throughout, following the same musical path as the texture slowly changes. Inspired by this junto challenge: Interpret a gauzy window treatment...

A solo electric guitar improvisation recorded live while testing a new pedalboard. After the session, I listened back and felt there were a few interesting ideas in it, but I left it aside, unfinished, for later. Then I read this haiku: Autumn sunset— is there something of mine left undone? — Fusae Fubasami A week later, I returned to the recording and overdubbed a series of synthesizer parts, fol...

A spontaneous experiment blending live guitar improv and synth arpeggiators. Recorded June 2026, capturing the contrast between a floating guitar track and kinetic synth layers. for this challenge https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0755-give-way

live electric guitar improvisation. first pass recorded on a 1985 schecter stratocaster while testing a new pedalboard. a second improvised layer was overdubbed using a circa-1990 gibson les paul. some sections were edited out; the remainder is presented largely as performed. recorded live in the studio, paris, france, early june 2026. photo by eugene biliavskyi. composed and performed by dd.

This track began as a work-in-progress session: an improvised bass line built from simple, repetitive figures evolving through a tempo-synced delay, locked to a steady Motorik drum beat. An electric guitar part followed. Then came this week's Junto challenge prompt: "Create a piece of music by regularly or irregularly interrupting an ongoing process." So I decided to interrupt the process itself....

For almost a year this track existed as a very simple two-track piece: clean Stratocaster guitar over an arpeggiated chord progression. Inspired by this haiku by Santoka Taneda: "wind from the sea butterflies in embankment weeds never resting" Yesterday and today I finally expanded it — adding synth pads, a melodic synth doubling the guitar lines, a soft synth bass pulse, scattered electronic text...

Composed for a challenge: Music for an imagined nature documentary about slugs, specifically for one of the film's slowest scenes. A technical exercise in micro-movements, heavy pacing, and low-register textures. Recorded exclusively using the low strings of a classical baritone guitar. It gets dark... 📸 Cover photo: The Achilleion Palace (Αχίλλειο), Greece.

Floating soundscape built entirely from layered eBow guitars, with occasional deep bass single note anchoring the drift. Slowly unfolding textures, melodic fragments, and suspended harmonies moving between mystery and melancholy — somewhere between ambient guitar music and Frippertronics-inspired landscapes. No drums, no pulse, no synths. Inspired by this haiku by Sawaki Kinichi: *A white ship mov...

Epic electronic score built entirely with Oberheim synth emulations by @gforce-software. Warm melodic bass, layered analog textures, slow harmonic movement, and soaring synth lines unfold over a heartbeat-like DMX pulse. Forward-moving and bittersweet, the piece constantly shifts between major and minor moods, inspired by classic science-fiction cinema and vintage synth soundtracks. Performed usin...

Based on this duo https://soundcloud.com/dawn-falls-654459054/second-of-a-few-2-disquiet0748 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 bot...

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 sec...

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. Inspired by this haiku by Martin Lucas: October dawn the flicker of lights at the river mouth Photo: @NA...

This is just a jam on my Höfner bass over the glitchy groove from last week: https://soundcloud.com/benn-demole/cordyceps-disquiet0747 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-lik...

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. For this junto challenge: llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-pr…743-make-it-h...

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...
