Disquiet Junto Project 0581: Helsinki Downspout

The Assignment: Use a rhythmic field recording as the foundation for a new track.

Step 1: This is a shared sample project, one in which all the participants will utilize the same provided recording, about a minute and a half long, as the rhythmic element for their own music. Access the track, originally recorded by Scott Fletcher and used with his permission, here:

https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/helsinki-downspout

Step 2: Listen to the provided track several times. Think about ways to map its content, perhaps making notations about when certain unique, momentary aspects surface.

Step 3: Record an original piece of music for which the provided music is the underlying rhythm. You might take this quite literally, using the source as it is, resulting in a track that is precisely 1:35 long. Alternately, you might elect to sample and rework the source material. If you go the latter route, make certain that the original sound is, at least at some point in the finished track, recognizable.

Step 4: Because this is a Creative Commons resource, be sure to identify Scott Fletcher as the original recorder of the source material, and include a link to the source track. Identify the license as: Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0).

Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, February 20, 2023, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, February 16, 2023.

Helsinki Downspout Crackles (disquiet0581)

I love the water drip sound of the original sample - I hear it as "tapati" and used it as is as the center of the piece. Just riffed on it on GarageBand. So, not a partita but a tapatita...

Downspout Drone (disquiet0581)

Song created for the disquiet junto. See https://disquiet.com/2023/02/16/disquiet-junto-project-0581-helsinki-downspout/

Here I used the provided recording of a dripping downspout. Using Bitwig's FX grid, I used this recording unaltered to provide the rhythm and tempo. With the grid, I could trigger a few different oscillators based  on when the drip sound crossed a loudness threshold.  I split the signal and passed each though different gate lengths, this dictated the frequency with which each gate could trigger a new note. Notes were pulled from a pool of choices, mostly randomly, in F minor.

LYRICS

Breathing in the air
Of ancient mountains.
Before the dawn
Of the cresting sun.
Far below resides
The gilded towers
And marble chambers
Of an age undone.
The riches of all the earth
Most now concede
Before the truth
Of our own deeds.

REFRAIN
Bathe in the light
of endless glory.
Nothing on the Earth
Can place a value on us, now.
We have found the way.
We have paid the cost.
It's not what we own
It's about what we have lost.

We can gather all
The priceless trinkets
And lofty titles
Ever conceived.
But there will come a day
When all that matters
Is what we've done
For those in need.

REFRAIN
Open your eyes
Take in the air, now.
Don't shy away.
No looking back down.
This is our chance,
Breathe in the glory.
Take me away.
Take me away.

The thing that matters most
Is who you are
And what you do
When no one sees.
You know what it's like
To be abandoned.
But don't give up.
We will succeed. 

REFRAIN

Made with Ableton 11. For my wife. <3
