"Compose a short piece of music using only sine waves and the surface sounds of vinyl played on a turntable."

Part of the Disquiet Junto composing group.

Not currently having a turntable in the house I turned to the net and found this wonderful collection of vinyl sounds: http://99sounds.org/vinyl-noise-sfx/ Thanks Chia!

I found some rhythmic activity that inspired me in the collection so pulled some into Ableton and started playing, before long a bass was needed, hello sine wave.

The command "Before proceeding, consider the sort of music that might be conducive as partially-heard, partially-background music for an art event” had made me think of bits of melodies poking up so added some more sines as chimes and some bits of melodies.
