Disquiet Junto Project 0286: Found in Translation
I took a fairly simple approach – adding “distance” to a fairly defined track by turning it into an exercise in space ambience. Which is always fun. A journey into space, from form to formlessness. (I’m not 100% sure this is what “transliteration” meant in this case, so this is my interpretation…)
I created an “improv” lasting 3:30 by misusing my demo copy of The Mangle on an existing track. This runs untreated, except for double-tracking.
The same track is superimposed at 2:00 until 5:15, this time drenched in ridiculous amounts of reverb.
It is added in again from 4:15 to the end, this time processed twice through the spaciest setting of an ambient filter called “Abstract Chamber”.
Sorry, it’s a bit longer than intended.

Disquiet Junto Project 0286: Found in Translation
Make three versions of something from different distances.
Step 1: Choose some piece of music, something expressly melodic or rhythmic might work best, with the intention of doing multiple renditions of it.
Step 2: Consider what it means to “transliterate” something, and how that differs from “translating” something, and how both differ from “interpreting” something.
Step 3: Now produce a recording that begins with the original from Step 1, and then follows it, in sequence, with versions that serve to transliterate, translate, and interpret it.
