The Notwins
One of these Pandemix Tapes. QAnonesque soundscapes inspired by storytelling of science fiction writer Richard Sharpe Shaver. Words of Ray Palmer (Amazing Stories editor) about Shaver taken from a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6VEV-UknBg
First experiments with 856 for Zellersasn. Guitarphrase is decomposed/recomposed. Plays kind of a drunken guitarist in the back. Me playing theme and something. All other sounds come from Zoom ARQ 48. Short version of the bluesonet. A gift for my Notwin twin Rudy. Times and music have changed.

One of the first experiments with Zellersasn results in a drone. A selfgenerating pattern.
Young girls can be spooky. PSI phenomenal! They lift glasses, they turn watches, they burn houses down and beliefs, they move things and people. Their rage can be frightening, almost out of control. As is the track.
A guitar phrase recorded and recomposed with a Montreal Assembly Zellersasn. A selfrunning escalating drone that is nearly killing the pedal.

Young girls in their adolescence can be spooky. PSI phenomena. They lift glasses, turn watches upside down and move things and people. And their rage is frightening. As is the track...

Disquiet Junto Project 0132: Posthumous Nofi Trio
Each Thursday at the Disquiet Junto group on Soundcloud.com a new compositional challenge is set before the group’s members, who then have just over four days to upload a track in response to the assignment. Membership in the Junto is open: just join and participate.
This assignment was made in the mid-afternoon, California time, on Thursday, July 10, with 11:59pm on the following Monday, July 14, 2013, as the deadline.
These are the instructions that went out to the group’s email list (at tinyletter.com/disquiet-junto):
This week’s project is a tribute to the late Jeffrey Melton, the talented musician, best known on SoundCloud and Twitter as @nofi. The project builds on the Disquiet Junto Project 0066, which took place 66 weeks ago.
The Disquiet Junto Project 0066 had participants perform live over a segment of a live recording of Melton himself playing solo. The result was a series of posthumous duets. This week we’ll produce a series of posthumous trios. The steps are as follows:
Step 1: Choose one of the tracks that resulted from Disquiet Junto project 0066:
https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/sets/disquiet0066-nonofi
Step 2: Listen to your chosen track several times, to get to know it.
Step 3: Extend the file by 10 to 15 seconds.
Step 4: Record yourself performing live along with the track. Any instrumentation is fine. Just no voice. Be sure to play alone for approximately 10 seconds after the original track ends.
Step 5: Upload the track to the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud, following the directions below.
Background: Melton passed away March 30, 2013, in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where he lived with his wife and seven-year-old son. He was 42. Melton had been involved with the Disquiet Junto since the very first Junto project, back in January 2012, and he early on volunteered to create a Twitter list of the handles of participating Junto members.
Deadline: Monday, July 14, 2014, at 11:59pm wherever you are.
Length: The length of your finished work will be 10 to 15 seconds longer than the track you selected.
Information: Please when posting your track on SoundCloud, include a description of your process in planning, composing, and recording it. This description is an essential element of the communicative process inherent in the Disquiet Junto.
Title/Tag: When adding your track to the Disquiet Junto group on Soundcloud.com, please include the term “disquiet0132-posthumousnofitrio″ in the title of your track, and as a tag for your track.
Download: It is preferable that your track is set as downloadable, and that it allows for attributed remixing (i.e., a Creative Commons license permitting non-commercial sharing with attribution).
Linking: When posting the track, please be sure to link to the source track from project 0066, and to include this information:
