Disquiet Junto Project 0543: Technique Check
The Assignment: Share a tip from your method toolbox: Think of some technique — small or larger, simple or complex — that you employ when making music.

Hi, "rhythmic delays" is my technique for this junto.
This is something I use a lot, this is not the most abusive example of it, but it's really important for this track, and peculiar cause it's all acoustic instruments (I do use this a lot on electric guitars) 

I recorded this one last year on an "hotel room" setup, I had my laptop, a great microphone and a very good audio interface, a small requinto, an harmonica, some hand percussion  and a soprano ukulele.
Back home I decided to finish a second track that I did release earlier this year but this one stayed on the vault, unused, unfinished.
 
The use of my technique of rhythmic delays is more prominent as the track advances, I set up a couple of delay lines (mostly straight 1/8th notes, a 1/4th note echo and a syncopated dotted 1/8th notes one. I add more delay as the track progresses and gradually augment the feedback. It's quite simple and effective.
And it gives a weird "robotic" feel to a pure acoustic performance.

Comments are welcome (this is one of those tracks that could remain in my vault for decades, and I appreciate that the junto challenges push me to revisit it and just share it)

Process notes - 

- Am6 inversion. 
- Ableton Random device
- Velocity device to allow for about a 50% chance of randomness  
- Arpeggiator device
- Chord device
- chose a basic EIC2 grand piano (legacy Live Pack) sound for this.  
- Scale device set to C Iwato 
-  Live's Echo device
- I used 2 Random Max4Live LFO devices

At around 26+ minutes.  Turn off looping, disable record arm, disable the MIDI track.  

Ready to review, I find a spot near 14 min and draw in a fade during the quick part and decide to give it a fade out for the purposes of the Junto.  I decide this piece will be called "The Silent, Understood"  I do an export to WAV and check the file on disk.  4:36.  A bit long for my Juntos, but whatever.  It could have been 26 minutes!  

- Ozone 9 master using a slight variation on a classical preset with some reduced lufs-iness.

The Silent, Understood (disquiet0543) by Our Quiet Fog

At some point, we meet with the afterlife.
When the love-light we gave away is given back to us in full measure, & the suffering we endured is repaid with rewards beyond earthly domain...
We will have overcome & crushed all grief on that day!
Eternity awaits those who believe, & those who do not...
Where you spend it, is your choice.

Past The Celestial Barrier

Inspired by this haiku:

Tall trees gently wave
Sending secret messages
Into the Spring breeze
