I took Franziska Baumann's score and chose to read it left-to-right, top-to-bottom. However, I restricted myself to the first row of seven ideograms, mostly due to time constraints. I took each and transcribed the notes into Ableton and considered each to represent a bar. I then repeated the sequence six times with various instruments. I interpreted the smudges as harmonic distortion.

I pretty much broke the rules by not making a list, then braking more than one rule: I made a piece that I felt broke a lot of my usual patching "rules" on the modular; made then broke a rule about not adding effects in the DAW; then added reverb; then uploaded late… -- More on the 653rd weekly Disquiet Junto project, Break a Rule — The Assignment: Stop doing something you always do — at https://d...

Experimentation with Bitwig's FX Grid, processing a Harmony Bloom generated sequence with various randomisers, such as dice, sample and hold, and logical arithmetic based on several channels of source. The result was then further modified with Infiltrator 2, and Sampleson's Haptic Perc, and Xils-Lab La Palme.

Two drones combined. One created with Sampleson Scaper, and the other from FullBlotter's processing of the first drone. -- More on the 647th weekly Disquiet Junto project, Day Drone — The Assignment: Make some daylight drones for Drone Day — at https://disquiet.com/0647/

When all there's left is the bouncing ball. I wondered what would happen if the bouncing ball was all that was left, and what it might get up to when left to its own devices. -- More on the 646th weekly Disquiet Junto project, Empty Orchestra — The Assignment: Interpret the literal translation of “karaoke” — at Disquiet Junto Project 0646: Empty Orchestra – Disquiet

Experimenting with Harmony-Bloom.

I took SAMPLAIR's track (https://soundcloud.com/user-248104983/disquiet0636-85bpm-1?si=7f73fecc7db545d6bdaa4d34fcb41c38&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing) and played with long delays, granular and fft effects, against the original track.

I bookended Todd (@toaster-1) Elliott's shorter rail crossing recording with percussion and drums, then added a chord progression.

I replaced the instrumental parts of a track I completed for ixi Music's Patreon Challenge, in January (https://soundcloud.com/wasabicube/andiamo?si=c1d963b8e5ba48eab5ccaf512118e147&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing), with samples of my voice saying "Disquiet Junto, number six hundred and thirty-three". The only original track is a field recording of the voice of ice...

This is a mix of a track I created for ixi Music's January Patreon challenge. The challenge was to use a specific chord, comprising of a perfect fifth plus a minor third. So, if C was the root, the chord would be C, G, and B♭. Another part of the challenge was to not write in the key of C. I chose D as the root, and based the entire tune around the three notes (across several octaves).

Two Arturia KORG MS-20 V, and an Arturia ARP2600 V3, processing two recordings made in the airstream of a circulation fan. The wind noise both contributes to the output sound, but also is used to trigger envelopes and, in the case of the MS-20s, follow the envelope of the recordings. The ARP2600 is responsible for the Morse code-like sounds. -- More on this 632nd weekly Disquiet Junto project, She...

I used zplane's PEEL to divide the frequency and panning into nine, then randomly played the nice parts before concluding with the original recording. The track was composed for Ixi Music's December Patreon Challenge, and inspired by a sample of hers. -- More on this 629th weekly Disquiet Junto project, Jigsaw Logic — The Assignment: Break a piece of your music and put it back together again — at:...

I recorded a track, then played it through a Bluetooth receiver at the limit of its transmission range. I also recorded the EMF around the receiver, while playing the same track at distance. The three tracks were merged, using vocoders, and AudioThing's Motor to help add some musicality to the broken Bluetooth track. -- More on this 623rd weekly Disquiet Junto project, Kinda Bluetooth (The Assignm...

Here, each voice is put in shadow by its own harmonic filter. The sounds passed through are those that represent the edge, or umbra, that remains once the sound has been largely blocked by the harmonic filter. There are numerous voices that come and go, in addition, the filter lessens as the middle of the track is reached and increases again as the track ends. This represents the sun's travel thro...

I found a the beginnings of track using Felt Instruments' Helenko, and AudioThing's Noises as a drone. I added some muted piano with Felt Instruments' Lekko, and an additional drone with Arturia's Augmented Strings and TAL's Sampler. -- More on this 621st weekly Disquiet Junto project, The Leftovers (The Assignment: Use recently discarded material to make something new), at: https://disquiet.com/0...
