Disquiet Junto 0553 Break That Cycle
Disquiet Junto 0552 The Radio in My Life
The Disquiet Junto this week asks "Record a piece of music that reproduces or otherwise suggests the sympathetic (i.e., non-intrusive) commingling of radio and everyday sound."
I've been listening to the classical radio station this year.
It started when I fatigued of hearing news headlines while driving to work.
One day I got frustrated with the repetitions of grabbed snippets, switched over to an instrumental and felt muscles relax across my brow.
When the Junto arrived I looked at the lightening sky and decided to use whatever was being broadcast after I got to Mark Taylor ovals.
Then I added subtle reverb and more birdsong.
Disquiet Junto 0551 The Bends
The Disquiet Junto assignment is to "Get less strict about something you’re strict about."
I decided to try an idea to randomly assemble lines of lyrics.
As part of my haiku-writing habit, I've collected five-syllable lines.
For this piece I printed them, then cut them out to pull from a box.
Disquiet Junto 0550 Abrupt Probability
The Disquiet Junto this week asks participants to "Devise a situation... that depicts randomness visually" and then to "Create an original piece of music that is an interpretation."
At least that's what I've taken from it, as I need to work in video due my own creative constraint established when I abandoned Soundcloud.
My situation depicts randomness as a lava lamp and involves using the random functions on the drum and bass machines to create an original piece of music.
I made a break in their rhythms each time the lava snapped, aside from an abrupt and random break early on.
