scewed picture of a TV set
Above my contribution to Disquiet Junto 61, Textinstagr/am/bient, wherein the text description of an Instagram becomes a musical springboard. Many more of other folks’ contributions and such here.
FWIW the link image is not said Instagram but a slightly doctored cropping from a glitching TV broadcast I’d caught on video. Good times …
Wild Child of Smithfield Square
[for Disquiet Junto 42-Naive Melody]
Most anything I play I play naively. Probably the instrument I played earliest, if not the most, is an Aria electric bass. As some part of me read an “s” by “backing track”, there are several bits of bass in support, two plucked or picked parts, plus ebowed bass tracks.
In the foreground is something just a touch more feral than naive—melodically etc. It’s same old newly found Radio Shack Stereo Amplified Listener/faux hearing aid (33-1093) used for Junto 41 in “Huntington Quarterspeed”, but here plugged into some cheap stereo computer speakers. Feedback is its “barbaric yawp”.

Band Of Slow Angles
A half speed variation on something that’ll likely go to the Disquiet Junto.
Okay, here’s a link to the full speed version. A photo resistor controlled oscillator was tracked several times across the image below. And yet more works interpreting this photo as a graphic score.

SoundCloud Speaks interview with Marc Weidenbaum of Disquiet.com
From the interview:
As for Benjamin Franklin, he was one of the first Americans, not an exiled European, not a profiteer, not a lost boy — but an American. Don DeLillo’s vision of America — the idea of American as a language as much as a national identity — provided validation to me for much of what I felt in my 20s, and I think it has its roots in the feverish mix of practicality and curiosity that comprised Franklin’s imagination.
The sound/noise/music conglomeration or whatnot organized by Marc Weidenbaum of Disquiet gets a shout out. Not surprising.
But that a sonic contribution of mine is among those linked, well . . gee.

Another contribution to the Disquiet Junto, project 8. This one’s entirely based on a reading of a sentence from The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin.
