Disquiet Junto 0236: Hello Jun(t)o
Junotes [disquiet 0236]
I decided my only “note” would be a 2-second sine tone of 440hz generated in Audacity. Yeah, I know, same thing I did last week…
I laid out my six notes with a 1 second break between each and a 2 second break between the 4th and 5th.
I used pitch shift on each to make a little ‘tune’.
I messed around with cloned versions of the tune using Audacity effects and a couple of vst effects like Bluecat – delay, tempo and pich shifting, reverb and echo.
The first result sounded horrible. This is the second one. There are some glitches and pops. I blame cosmic radiation.

The Assignment: Say hi to the Juno Spacecraft by embedding Morse code in an original composition.
In this project we’re going to send a friendly signal to the NASA probe, the Juno spacecraft, that just entered orbit around Jupiter. Well, we’re going to compose such signals. Sending them is a separate endeavor. We’re going to build on the “Say ‘Hi’ to Juno” endeavor, which had thousands of ham operators sending a message to Juno during its five-year voyage. The “Say ‘Hi’ to Juno” message was Morse code for “Hi” — that is, four dots followed by two dots (…. ..).
Step 1: Listen to the Morse code for “hi” (four dots followed by two dots) on repeat for a short time.
Step 2: Create an original musical composition that in one or more ways interpolates that Morse code.
