Took on this week's project at least in 'spirit' if not purist interpretation - maybe this is a remix not an OverVersion?
It was hard to see quite how to fit the kind of live instrumental playing I (shyly) do, over this track. But the straight stacked bass was like an empty road dead ahead; kind of beckoning. Just needed something for the top end...

Made 7 'voices' synched/derived from original track; using mostly filter resonance to stripe the arrangement, distortions to texture the voices, delay lines/gating to set up pulsing rhythms and reverberation to get feedback sustain. Settled them all into a rough agreement, then ran the track live while manipulating the mix&balance for recording.

Disquiet Junto Project 0173: Over Version
Do an “over” rather than a “cover” of a pre-existing track.

In other words, create a palimpsest of the source material. These are the steps for this project:

Step 1: Download the Hermético track “Daisy Daisy (A Blinding White Light Remix)” from the InoQuo netlabel at this URL:

https://archive.org/download/inoquo068/01hermetico-daisy-daisyABWL-remix.mp3

You can read up on the release at this page:

http://www.inoquo.com/release.php?&id=68

Step 2: Listen to the track straight through.

Step 3: Record yourself playing on top of the original.

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 23, 2015, with a deadline of 11:59pm wherever you are on Monday, April 27, 2015.

Length: The length of your finished work should be the length of the original, 5:39, or slightly longer.

Upload: Please when posting your track on SoundCloud, only upload one track for this assignment, and include a description of your process in planning, composing, and recording it. This description is an essential element of the communicative process inherent in the Disquiet Junto. Photos, video, and lists of equipment are always appreciated.

Bathurst Burr [Disquiet Junto Project 0173: Over Version]

A path choked by nettles does not deter the bearer of a swinging scythe.

Quando eu morrer batam em latas,
Rompam aos saltos e aos pinotes,
Façam estalar no ar chicotes,
Chamem palhaços e acrobatas!

Que o meu caixão vá sobre um burro
Ajaezado à andaluza...
A um morto nada se recusa,
Eu quero por força ir de burro.

Mário de Sá-Carneiro
