PROCESS

Single notes in the key of C, staggered and stacked to move through different chords. "Attack" was eliminated using a combination of my trusted E-bow fed through an EHX POG2 with its attack setting jacked all the way up for max swell. Tape Delay, Phaser, Reverb added for space travel (or ocean travel as the case may be here).

RIG

Fabien (Peekamoose Custom Guitars M2), EHX POG2, Small Sound / Big Sound Sparkle Motion, tc electronic flashback delay, EQD Grand Orbiter, EQD Afterneath, Strymon blueSky, Line6 POD-XT (Vox AC-30 emulation), RECORDING DAW: Sony Acid 7.0 (Win 8.1), MASTERING DAW: Harrison Mixbus 2.5 (Mac OS 10.7.5)


PROJECT

Create a dense stack of attack-free tonal material from one audio source.

Step 1: Choose an instrument that can create extended tones.

Step 2: Record a short loop of a single held tone on that instrument. Use a volume pedal or other tool to eliminate the attack at the start of the tone.

Step 3: Create many more such loops, all with the same instrument, and layer them atop the original loop.

Step 4: Record a document of these layered loops lasting approximately 1 minute.

Step 5: Upload your completed track to the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud.

Step 6: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

c swells [disquiet0189-tonelayer]

A MicroBrute synth connected in feedback-loop through a loop pedal set to 3-seconds with a slight fade out.

Three layers were recorded.  Each one is a single note sustained throughout the loop.  One of them (lower) is a triangle wave with the LFO modulating its frequency, and the other two are square waves with the LFO modulating the pulse width.  

Each layer is a loop that is permanently recording the output of the synth and feeding it back into it 3 seconds later, where it mixes with the sustained note creating textures and patterns by cancelling some parts of the wave and clipping others.  The result of this mix gets out of the synth and back into the loop pedal where it gets recorded and fed back into the synth once again, starting the process all over and creating the evolving sound.

" Nettles (Urtica species) are shrubby weeds covered in fine stinging hairs. The opposite leaves have toothed margins, and the sprays of tiny flowers are greenish and unattractive. " - Tim Low, Wild herbs of Australia and New Zealand.
It remains to be seen exactly what relation this bears to the composition and interpretation of music.
