Disquiet Junto 0055: The Nine Finger Salute
Description of the junto assignment:
This week’s project involves a shared set of source material. The source audio is the free solo piano album ‘Screws’ by Nils Frahm.
Frahm, who’s based in Germany, posted the nine-track album of short solo works for free download while he was recuperating from busting one of his thumbs. He subsequently created a site to house all the remixed/reworked versions that admirers sent to him, as well as the videos and other responses that he received.
For this project you will take two of the source tracks, Do and Re, and create a new track from them, in the process creating a work for two pianos.
Source Audio: You can download the files as sets of MP3 or AIF audio:
public.erasedtapes.com/screws/ERATP046NilsFrahmScrewsmp3.zip

Or download the individual file directly from their links here:

You can only use those two Frahm tracks as audio source material for your track, and you cannot add anything other sounds, but you can transform the two Frahm tracks as you please. In the end, though, the sound of a piano should be evident.
