the title is from an uncharacteristically poetic wikipedia article (about rainbows i think)

got a dice in a cracker when i went for an anniversary/xmas dinner with my partner the other night. i rolled 4 5 / 6 4 / 6 6

i misremembered the instructions a bit.. and did 4 minute / 6 minute / 6 minute drones, repeated to 61 minutes. one drone was cello thru protoplasm, second was phonec, third was synthmaster+podfarm. all of them had lots of ambient reverb. some slight automated changes. but i kept it really repetitive.

Disquiet Junto Project 0364: Casting Drones

The Assignment: Use dice to determine your slowly shifting tones.

Many thanks to Todd Elliott (aka Toaster) for having proposed this project.

We’re going to use chance operations to make drone music (giving credit to John Cage, in particular for the compositional concept of time brackets). You’ll need some multitimbral sound sources that are capable of making sustained tones, or you can just write out the score and build up the drone via overdubbing.

Step 1: Create a single sustained tone that can be held for as long as necessary. This will serve as a “base” for you to add onto in subsequent steps.

Step 2: Roll two six-sided dice. The first die will be “time” and the second die will be the “notes.” Do this two additional times, so you have notated three pairs of time-plus-notes.
