Recorded, mixed and mastered on 25 Apr 2024 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa. This was also Day 1364 of the 100 Day Project.
Process notes –
I first thought of scraping my iPhone against a stone. Then, I free-associated “stone” with “pizza stone” and then “LP.” Right after that I thought to capture some LP surface noise, and came right around to using one of Yoko’s albums…so…not the music but the physical object. I looked around my landlady’s backyard and found a slightly mysterious pile of stones and I was off.
I made 2 sets of four short recordings. Mid-way, I decided to get “elemental” with it, too.
– Two recordings were outdoor “air” recordings, including some dogs.
– One other recording was scraping my iPhone against a stack of stones.
– Indoors, I recorded the kitchen sink (water, and yes everything including the kitchen sink) and also lighting matches I keep for my barbecue (fire).
– The second set of recordings was of the inner groove noise from my copy of Yoko’s Fly double album. The last recording included switching briefly to the radio (white noise) and then my own struggling to get the two disks back into the jacket.
For this, I used similar methods, (and an Ableton Live template), I’d used for Disquiet Juntos 0530, 0605, 0606, 0609 & 0616, all which reference “minimally viable music” as we did in 0530, my first Junto. This included many Ableton Live effects devices and some by Max for Live devices by Amazing Noises.
For what it is is worth, Junto 0530 also was the genesis of this album – [Something That Once Was (Free)](https://ift.tt/WnDB2g8). Eventually, this piece and 0605, 0606, 0609 & 0616 will all be worked into the follow-up.
