I was going to sit this one out. Then I wondered what the image would sound like imported as raw data into Audacity. Great blasts of white noise static, no surprise there. About to delete it, I put it through multiple layers of full reverb on a whim and was pleasantly surprised to hear it transform into a huge, bell-like drone which seemed to crawl around inside itself.
I tried importing the image using different parameters and got a much longer blast of noise, which was similarly treated and became the canvas on which four differently treated versions of the first, shorter one have been arranged in the manner of the image (using the ‘completeness’ of each circle to decide how much to treat each track). These were treated with BlueCat, Convoluter, Phaser and Harmonic Adder, along with being double-tracked out of phase in differing pitches and degrees of reverb.
Sorry it’s so long, I needed a big canvas.

The Assignment: Interpret a graphic score that depicts four phases.
A combined play on a Brian Eno phrase and a John Cage visual motif is pretty much foundational Disquiet Junto territory. This week, interpret this image as a graphic score: https://www.dropbox.com/s/frxh96qwx5a2qgm/junto-0557-weidenbaum.png?dl=0
