**Production Notes**
Even after several visits to the dentist, my molar tooth is killing me. So I’m somewhat desperate, frustrated and aggressive in the last few days. Hence the „crunchy“ approach.
I chose to go more extreme this time. It took me a while to realize the piece is actually in 3/4 (I’m still not quite sure if that’s true). Added a simple kick drum, clap and cymbal to go along with the drum parts.
For melodic parts, the new Max for Live bass ensemble did great. Also added several samples, Reaktors Rounds and an Ableton Analog Lead with a pinch of Bitcrusher.
Added EQs and compression. That’s all. Time to take another painkiller.

**Disquiet Junto Project 0203 : Beat Basis**
Add something to a rhythm track titled “It.”
Step 1: Listen to and download the track “It” by Name Constant:
https://soundcloud.com/random-coil/it-1
Step 2: When posting the track, Name Constant accompanied it with this invitation: “additions welcome, should anyone be inspired by emptyness.” Please create a new track with the source audio as the foundation. (Do not change the source audio, though you can also use it as raw material for whatever you choose to add.)
Step 3: Upload your completed track to the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud.
Step 4: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.
Deadline: This assignment was made in the early afternoon, California time, on Thursday, November 19, 2015, with a deadline of 11:59pm wherever you are on Monday, November 23, 2015.
Length: The length is up to you. The original is just under six minutes, though you needn’t create something that long.
