Not really an inspired effort, a bit rushed but still fun. I looped one of the ambient tracks and put it through a lot of reverb, Abstract Chamber and made a background. Then used the Tool tracks to make a single wav file and subjected that to various indignities using ambient v.3. This was cut up and remixed over the backing and… a sound sculpture, I guess.

The Assignment: Create a piece of music from sounds related to working with rocks.
Welcome to the 450th consecutive weekly Disquiet Junto project. Thanks to everyone who has participated, supported, and pitched in along the way.
This project is the third of three that are being done over the course of as many months in collaboration with the 2020 Musikfestival Bern, which will be held in Switzerland from September 2 through 6 under the motto “Tektonik” (“Tectonics”). For this reason, a German translation is provided below. We are working at the invitation of Tobias Reber, an early Junto participant, who is in charge of the educational activities of the festival. This is the second year in a row that the Junto has collaborated with Musikfestival Bern. Select recordings resulting from these three Disquiet Junto projects will be played on a listening booth at the Steinatelier on September 5, as well as being aired on Radio RaBe (rabe.ch), an independent local radio station partnering with the festival.
Step 1: Download the field recordings made at Carlo Bernasconi AG, a company that has been working in stone for over a century. The sounds range from machines to manual tools to spatial ambience.
Step 2: Listen for aspects of the recordings that attract your ears. Focus on textures in particular.
Step 3: Create a piece of music combining elements from as few or as many as you chose in Step 2.
