Sometimes a junto challenge inspires me and makes me go for something new and unexpected. Rarely (very rarely) is it the other way around. This week's junto seems to be inspired by what I just did (have been doing for the last 2 days). I mentioned in a previous post my new instrument, the Ronroco built by Argentine luthier S. Vazquez a couple of months ago. I am recording a mini album (at the requ...

Hey, I've been recording a commissioned album using my new Ronroco (got it a month ago in Argentina and did my very first recording right [there](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJBdmS7yqtk)) Now it's on my studio along with a fellow, old Ronroco I had and a little brother, my charango. I have to record 5-6 pieces using mostly that instrument with eventual appearances of other instruments and the...

The Assignment: Interpret the literal translation of “karaoke.” Step 1: You may or may not be familiar with the literal meaning of the word “karaoke.” The first two syllables are the Japanese word for “empty.” The final two syllables are an abbreviation of the Japanese word for “orchestra.” Consider how the term “empty orchestra” connects with the idea of karaoke. Step 2: Think about the term “emp...

Soundtrack for my possible birthday party one day... (I stopped throwing birthday parties for myself decades ago) This is a weird track, that started with a drum track (performed by Javier Estrella in Paris 20 years ago) for a project I was working that was scrapped and never used. A couple of years later, when that project was confirmed dead, I removed all the other instruments and vocals and rec...

This is an unreleased alternate version with slightly different structure and a flute track (never heard before) by the great Bobby Rangell from Denver, Colorado. Rescued from the vault today.

I dunno, maybe it's springtime in sunny Paris, but I felt the urge for some old disco vibes. So I went for the duo. Lefty Drone, Right English disquiet0637 https://soundcloud.com/skylarkduquesne/lefty-drone-right-english-disquiet0637 by skylark duquensne (David Totten) and alanblip I didn’t change the original tracks at all, I behaved this time. I added a beat, for that 50 years old euro-disco vib...

Krautrockish I promise I was thinking on making this a bit Krautrock when I started, doesn’t sound like that now, I guess... Based on rightward [disquiet0637] by LazenbeeIndustries and John Wright https://soundcloud.com/lazenbeeindustries/rightward-feat-john-wright-disquiet0637 I just added a 808 kick and played bass. Most satisfying and less time consuming on the lot, but I don’t think it works,...

I liked this track by he_nu_ri (@user-807707609) & mikey_a (@mikey_a) https://soundcloud.com/mikey_a/both-sides-of-the-river-disquiet0637 I just jammed on top of it with my accordina but it was too much of the three of us, so I split the stereo original, separated he_nu_ri, mikey_a and myself on 3 tracks (softly panned like the original with mine at centre) and made some very creative use of the d...

Based on https://soundcloud.com/tunelight/disquiet0636-1of3-implexus by @tunelight My soft R panned synth track (a soloist impro using a mono lead on AAS Ultra Analog) over his L panned original. I improvised over 6 tracks from last week to see what happened on "first take" , decided to keep 3 for the second week. Today, while choosing just 2 to share here, I decided to keep this one, even if I di...

I used Tristan Louth-Robins (@red_robin) guitar track as a basis for this. https://soundcloud.com/red_robin/disquiet_junto_0636-epochs-left-1-of-3-72-bpm I added electric bass, playing a quite standard bass line and some harmonics. This still sounds like a "basic track", hope somebody has an idea to complete this next week. This collaboration between two austral guys is called Australopithecus. I...

Hi, today I had a great recording session in duet with the great Bobby Rangell, from Denver, Colorado, my "to-go" flute player. It was an ambient bass & flute gig. The volume of certain pedals is a bit out of control, I kept tweaking that, but this is the only test recording I did, straight to stereo .I started earlier to set up all my pedals and practice a little bit, and recorded this impro as a...

A "trailer" track I've been working on requests this past week. Synthesizers, orchestral samples, percussion, arpeggiators. For this haiku: ore train bright colors passing quickly by: Jerome Berglund Photo by CHUTTERSNAP https://www.naviarrecords.com/naviarhaiku527-ore-train/

"Take one held tone and make it dance slowly" HI, I used a single Saw waveform playing a C note. I made it evolve using the Mod-wheel mapped to filter frequency cutoff and the knobs and faders of my midi controller mapped to tweak filters and LFO in real time. Recorded two parallel tracks, one tweaking a square waveform LFO1 mapped to "volume" , the second track tweaking a pulse LFO2 mapped to Fil...

Piano String quartet (harmonics) by Cinesamples Orchestral drones by Spitfire Photo by DD, Oslo Concert Hall. Today I tested and old sample library and a new one I've got to compare their sounds. I used the junto prompt as inspiration for my tests. I'm a small time alchemist, so I didn't went too far into the transformation. I just wrote a simple piano piece, I submerged the piano piece into some...
