Disquiet Junto 0585 F9

When I saw the prompt to fastforward a piece, I thought it'd work best with a very slow track.

The slowest track I have is the 10bpm track from Junto 299, then I noticed a couple of beats at 83 (397) and 84 (429).

My track ended up at 90bpm.

There was a bit of pitch adjustment in Ableton Live, but I decided to push through with the idea.

Not sure what happened in the bit where the drums both drop out.

The haiku shared by Naviar Records prompted me to layer the takes from a recent recording session.

Disquiet Junto 0584 Generations

The Junto prompt this week stirred a lot of thought about music I liked when I was younger.

In the end I'd repurposed a piece of music from countless childhoods and brought to it an instrument that stirred a child-like wonder for me. 

I also reflected on sequenced and performed music.

My idea was to create a separate but complementary piece that ran independent, then I noticed afterwards how I'd adjusted the number of bars to suit the sequenced music from the clock.

It would be crazy

The Disquiet Junto assignment this week is to "Use a building as a filter."

It's kinda hot at home this weekend and I've a lot of work to do, so I wasn't sure I would have time to record a piece.

Then I remembered an earlier Junto that involved recording from an adjacent room, as well as another that imagined a doorbell.

While I was looking for those, I found a couple of Junto that involved another sort of muffled approach in wearing cotton gloves.

Anyway, it all sort of made sense at the time, so I made a remix from my tracks for Juntos 115, 174, 253 and 289.

Disquiet Junto 0582 X Techno

After seeing the Junto prompt, I went looking for a sample to manipulate and found a video of my youngest from our visit to Canberra in 2019. 

That trip featured in a couple of Juntos around then and I’ve used this material elsewhere. 

The title is a pun too, since Sunday suggests relaxed but also “son day” techno. 

I knew the percussive instrument could be pitched down to create a kick, which is the foundation of the genre. 

Going for a relaxed feel, I opted for a slower tempo and a bit of dub-style tape delay. 

The video was edited in Ableton Live along with the audio.
