Disquiet Junto 0142: Consider It A Message
The Assignment: Make music from the near silence of phone calls.
This week’s project explores the near-silence inherent in phone calls. These are the steps:
Step 1: Record the near-silent sound of phone calls between your phone and three different other phones.
Step 2: Develop a short, original piece that accentuates the differences between the sounds of these three calls.
Step 3: Upload the track to the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud.
Step 4: Listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow participants.
My process: I recorded the three sounds silent phone calls as well as ringing and dial tones. While the basis of the track is the “silent” phone sections heavily modified and filtered, I did include a little bit of these other noises for accents and extra textures. Chopped, squeeze and mutilated in Renoise.
