Nice! Really pretty and enjoyable results!

digging this rhythm with the chords floating above

The goopy clicky off kilter rhythmic things that come back towards the end are delightful. Love this track!

Is Form  Less

Disquiet Junto Project 0581: Helsinki Downspout
The Assignment: Use a rhythmic field recording as the foundation for a new track.

I started with slicing out some bars, mostly with irregularities. For whatever reason I thought I have to do this in 5/4th, so the samples had a lenght of 10 noise events, 2 for 1/4. I extracted 6 samples and looped them in Live. Because I wanted to have some irregularities I used two tracks with randomly chosen samples for placing them in a stereo field. I also just had bought Mac for Cats Synthie Cat which made nice noises on two tracks. I rendered the Stems and went on in Reaper, to add some flutish musical themes and place the Downspout noises in stereo. Much more time went into in EQing out stuff from the Downspout tracks, but I wasn't conviced with the results and the Downspout sounds were so nice and fruity in itself, so I deleted all this EQing parameter automation. I sometimes wonder how many things you do that are not in the final track …

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 30

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).

Eight Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0581” (no spaces or quotation marks) in the name of your tracks.

Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag “disquiet0581” (no spaces or quotation marks). If you’re posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to subsequent location of tracks for the creation of a project playlist.

Step 3: Upload your tracks. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your tracks.

Step 4: Post your track in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0581-helsinki-downspout/

Step 5: Annotate your track with a brief explanation of your approach and process.

Step 6: If posting on social media, please consider using the hashtag #DisquietJunto so fellow participants are more likely to locate your communication.

Step 7: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Step 8: Also join in the discussion on the Disquiet Junto Slack. Send your email address to marc@disquiet.com for Slack inclusion.

Note: Please post one track for this weekly Junto project. If you choose to post more than one, and do so on SoundCloud, please let me know which you’d like added to the playlist. Thanks.

Fieldback (disquiet0590)

What a lovely prompt... and a tough one! 

I’m bad at minimalism. Most of my tracks somewhat baroque (fancy excuse for „too dense“). For this assignment I tried to reduce wherever I could. Once again, working with silence is a thing I still need to learn. Spent two hours balancing between silence and notes with the help of of transient designers and gates. Brought the sounds-silent ratio down to maybe 60:40.
