The obvious analogue vs digital contrast seemed to be a clock, and I've been curious as to the 'sound' of a digital clock for a while. Wrapping a 30 turn pickup around the clock got some strong strobes; but mostly 50Hz hum - so - something more drastic needed. Tapped off scanning waveforms from the LED display lines = strong strobed signals! (think mains voltage safety if trying this...)

Digital = clock display = recorded through analogue distortion/LFO-VCA/harmonic VCF
Analogue = stopwatch = processed through digital distortion/LFO-VCA/envelope VCF

Mixed into a 'tune' based on notes ADAC, using AudioMulch surface. Having too much fun; the <2min trim is clumsy.

Disquiet Junto Project 0172: Digital-Analog Conflater
Do something analog, then do the same thing digitally, and then combine them.

These are the steps for this week’s project:

Step 1: Do something analog.

Step 2: Do the same thing digitally.

Step 3: Combine them. The end result of Step 3 is your finished track.

Step 4: Upload your track to the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud.

Step 5: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Deadline: This assignment was made in the evening, California time, on Thursday, April 16, 2015, with a deadline of 11:59pm wherever you are on Monday, April 20, 2015.

Length: The length of your finished work should be between half a minute and two minutes.
