Disquiet Junto Project 0065: Piano Overlay
This week’s project’s theme is asynchronous collaboration — in other words, making things together separately. We will make new compositions based on short, discrete, randomly assigned segments of a single, 60-minute piano composition.
Collectively these will form a longer, collaborative suite.
These are the steps:
Step 1:
You will be making a piece of music by adding new sounds to a pre-existing track. You can download that pre-existing track, an original piano composition by Jared Brickman, here: One_hello_world – Every-day-were-dying-and-outer
Step 2: When you go to the following URL, at
kenzak.com, you will be assigned, immediately, a specific section of the longer Brickman piece.
This
kenzak.com URL will randomly pull up two pieces of information.
The first piece of information is the start point of your segment.
The second is the length of your segment (which will be between 1 and 4 minutes):
kenzak.com/disquiet/disquiet0065-pianoverlay.html
One note: There will be overlap between assigned pieces. This was a conscious decision, informed by the overall theme of overlaying, which is explained further in step 4, below.
Step 3: Extract your assigned segment from the pre-existing track.
Step 4: Compose a new piece of music by adding elements to the pre-existing track. You can add anything you choose, with the exception of voice. Limit yourself to two additional elements. The original track should be audible throughout your new composition.

I added a track with rainstick sounds and old film noise / rumble
and I added a track with clicks.
I processed the pianotrack with bit-crush and tremolo.
