Virtual Reality Legacy

This track came together slowly, organically, over a period of weeks. Finishing is often a fraught exercise and this one was no different. I am thankful for the timing of this week's disquiet junto, and the finishing prompt—it reminded me of this track and helped nudge and motivate me to finally complete it and share it. 

The title reflects the sound. When recording and mixing it, I was struck by how much of its sonic feel reminded me of the early pioneers of synthesis. Rather than move away from that sound, or stop and permanently shelve it, I opted to lean into it and just went with it. It wasn't pre-planned, quite the opposite, it just happened without effort or heavy conceptualizing. Maybe its ease of coming together—nearly fully formed with just a few takes—is why I neglected it, till now, and resisted calling it done.

Day 22. I recorded some static and clicks from a radio, used them as background textures, and made a few instruments out of them.

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0682: Unring a Bell. The Assignment: What if you could?

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0682 discussion thread on Lines:

My interpretation of un-ringing was based on bell tones morphing and unraveling into other sounds. Initially tried to create this soundscape in Ableton Live but nothing seemed to click. Finally settled on using a small modular system for production. 

Put together a Morphagene reel in Adobe Audition using bell samples as well as atmospheric sounds from freesound.org. The patch routing went from Make Noise Morphagene, Bastl Ikarie, Holocene NLMM, and finally a Make Noise XOH out to an audio interface to Ableton. Manually played Morphagene as the composition progressed. Recorded and deleted multiple versions, till I was finally satisfied with this one. Added a bit of delay and reverb with Valhalla Supermassive. Bells photo by Shaouraav Shreshtha via Unsplash.

Bells Unraveling [disquiet0682]

The Assignment: What if you could?

There is just one step to this project. The idea that one cannot “unring a bell” is a fairly common saying, at least in English. But what if you could? What might it sound like? And what use might the unrung bell serve in the making of music. Please record a track in which you try to unring a bell.
