Step 1: Choose a favorite book, or simply choose one at random. Step 2: Read — preferably aloud — the first sentence in the book’s text. Step 3: Make music that somehow reflects the line you read in Step 2. Nice challenge! I picked a book at random from a cardboard box filled with souvenirs from my years in Argentina. When I moved to Europe, I brought most of my belongings with me — but some heavi...

Disquiet Junto Project 0703: That’s How You Got Killed Before This one’s been sitting on my hard drive for 16 months. It came from a session with my friend and collaborator Bobby Rangell — we had recorded some flutes for a job, then took advantage of being in the studio to jam a bit: bass and flute, sometimes with a drum machine click. It was a super productive day. I later revisited and shared ma...

Worked on this duo by e_nu_ri (@user-807707609) : https://soundcloud.com/user-807707609/bowed-and-jangled-farther-disquiet0698 based on this original track by @red_robin https://soundcloud.com/red_robin/disquiet-junto-0697-mr-bowed-jangles The all-synth background is great. I thought the contrast between those synth tracks and a warm, acoustic tone could be interesting, so I improvised a lead part...

Melodic Dark and Luminous Drones - disquiet0699 (with Ray Cobley and Alanblip) This one’s quite experimental yet melodic and with a positive, luminous vibe (but with moments of darkness when Ray’s drone takes the foreground).

A bass track over @half-unusual 's groove. I played electric bass guitar (maple fender jazz bass with a pick and mute and a crunchy amp) with an overdrive pedal and a “skidder” effect tweaked in real time. Original: https://soundcloud.com/half-unusual/half-third-disquiet0697-80-bpm for this challenge: llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-pr…-0698-second-third/

Based on a piano performance by @leonclowes, I played an OB-E (thanks, Tom Oberheim & @gforce-software) over Leon’s piano. I was going for a streamlined version of something quiet by Ravel — a kind of synthetic tone poem. Both the piano and strings are fake, but hopefully there’s still room to build.

I worked on Krakenkraft's track from disquiet0697 (@winterer) As I mentioned last week, I’m hot on the ronroco these days — been playing it a lot and really feeling in shape. So I added two ronroco tracks: one with strummed chords (double-tracked), and another with little repetitive lines. I only spent about an hour on this one, but it turned out to be the most satisfying collab for me this week....

From disquiet's junto project 0697 (may 2025 https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0697-first-third/) I took Coraline Ada Ehmke's track https://soundcloud.com/coralineada/the-minotaurs-lament I played electric bass guitar (a maple Fender Jazz Bass with a pick, a mute, and a crunchy amp) and added an Oberheim DMX for the Motorik groove. Coraline’s original track was already quite full, but I...
