his was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0617: Haunt Scape

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0617 discussion thread:

This week's prompt coincided nicely with a playful Halloween inspired piece I've been working on the past couple days. It's actually something I started a year ago that I never had a chance to complete till now. It's more of a mildly spooky ditty than a haunt scape. 

Used Ableton Live Bouncy Notes and Patter for sequencing. Created a melody track using the Theremin Whistle preset in the Wavetable synth. Additional sound effect tracks were added. Effects plugins included Valhalla Vintage Verb, Aberrant DSP Sketch Cassette and Digitalis. Here's a link to a video version on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9m87Dstnf0Q

Full Moon Meander [disquiet0617]

Winter sky–
Distant dreams
Shattered and flown away
(Tr. by John Stevens)
A wandering poet and ascetic Zen priest, Santōka was a disciple of Ogiwara Seisensui, one of the first poets to discard the traditional use of the 5-7-5 structure in haiku.
Santōka’s poetry emphasizes the necessity of sabi (solitude) in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment and serenity.

Fresh from the cauldron, I present a corrosive transmutation from silver to gold! You can even hear the ingredients crack, pop, and sizzle during the process.

What's the recipe? I used two takes from an old session (called Silver and Gold) with my beloved Cocoquantus (hence the crack, pop, and sizzle). A new plugin called Secta can split an audio file dynamically into different frequency ranges - it works nicely on some material but not on others. I managed to extract a low-frequency version ("copper"), some high mids ("tin"), and an envelope-gated version ("sulfur"), the latter. 

My initial idea was to phase-cancel the generated parts with the original track. That didn't work, as I was too stupid to apply the technique on a stereo track. So I faded out the original loop, built a transition with copper, lead, and sulfur, and ended with the gold track. 

Magic.

Disquiet Junto Project 0628: Alchemical Brothers The Assignment: Explore an aspect of the ancient occult science using music.

Step 1: There are, we’re told, seven stages of alchemy, the ancient occult science concerned with the transformation of matter. The third of these stages is “Separation,” which is symbolized by the element of air. Since air is closely associated with the transmission of sound, Separation suggests itself as a stage of alchemy that might be explored through music. Read up a bit on alchemy.

Step 2: Produce a piece of alchemy-inspired music that explores the concepts of “transformation” and “separation” as you interpret them.
