Disquiet Junto Project 0168: Three of a Kind

Some fantastic songs. If you want to download any of them check with owners.

Somewhere

3 Tracks grabbed live from the Stoch 4 Lunetta instrument. Drum track was run first against a sparse metronome. Two melodic lines dubbed over; once the loop point had been fixed. Chromaticism was determined by the native trilling of the Stoch. Final mix balanced out in PC software; just light filtering and pan/levels.

The Stoch generously delivered structure without prior deliberation - it was challenging for this purpose to achieve interaction with the triggers to form a plausible tight loop from the percussive bursts. The two instrumental tracks are bound together by switch selected scale distributions. Their triggering was manipulated to hook motifs into the phrasing accents of the base percussion loop.

Axial [disquiet0153-groovelock]

Used my own track - Axial - already randomly generated and waiting to come to terms with. Picked up  Steve Moshier's — No Cause for Alarm (disquiet0153-groovelock) - a solid contrast of speed/density and sat well harmonically. Stacked the loops in PC sequencer, with some re-pitching into bass and scattering into higher registers. Braided a long echoing software synth across to hold it all together and mimic Steve's voicing.

Spoiled for choice with so many great samples ... used a couple more as meat for effects/filters and sprinkled them through. Thanks to:

The Assignment: Create a track from two locked grooves.

This week’s Disquiet Junto project builds on last week’s. Last week, 67 different musicians uploaded as many locked grooves. This week we’ll make new music atop the locked grooves. Here are the steps. Note that there are some options:

Step 1: Choose two locked grooves from the set at http://goo.gl/0s4WmM. You can accomplish this in several ways. You can choose random numbers between 1 and 67 and use those tracks, or you can just select the tracks you most want to work with. Note that most of the tracks should be set to allow, via Creative Commons, for non-commercial re-use. However, if you aren’t sure, please contact the musician to confirm.

Step 2: Make a new track alternating the two locked grooves for between one and two minutes.

Step 3: Use the track that resulted from step 2 as the foundation for a new piece of music. Transform it as you desire, which might include altering the foundational track and adding new material atop it.

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

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

Length: Your finished work should be between roughly 1 and 2 minutes long.

 


CoAxial [disquiet0154-grooveunlocked]

After a couple of failed experiments, decided to keep it simple and cadge around sampling of the melodic hints from the originals. Nuts and bolts sequencing, but set up the playback as if being run through 'shutters' at mismatched rates, so the coincidence varies. The Salamander version features as a highly fragmented&delayed background drift.

----------------------------------------------------------

Step 1: Download the following two tracks. The first is “Waiting…” by Yellow Salamand’r and the second is a reworking of it, titled “Waiting (A Yellow Salamander Re-hash),” by Colab.

https://soundcloud.com/yellow-salamandr-4-1/yellow-salamandr-4-waiting

https://soundcloud.com/colab/waiting-a-yellow-salamander-re-hash

Step 2: Create a new track that combines the two source tracks. 
Don’t add any new audio, though you can transform the source material as you wish.

Step 3: Upload the finished track to the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud.

Step 4: Listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Length: Your finished work should be between roughly 3 to 4 minutes long.

OK, hope it doesn't stretch the rules too far... A year spent jamming tables in a SQL warehouse; did grow some vegetables, but no decent date ordered catalogue of audio projects. Synopsis? = calendar is represented here by 12 months detailed daily weather data from logging station at the end of the road, downloaded, stitched and mangled per DBA's professional manner. Pushed as series into Arduino controller, and spooled back out algorithmically as MIDI for recording. Approx. 5 sec each month.

As a 'journal' it reflects the spirit and experiences of the year, and summarisies the audio techniques I've mucked about with.

Disquiet Junto Project 0156: Audio Journal 2014
The Assignment: Create a sonic diary of the past year with a dozen five-second segments.

This week’s project is a sound journal, an audio history of the past year. You will select a different audio element to represent each of the past 12 months of 2014. You will then select one five-second segment from each of these audio elements. Then you will stitch these dozen five-second segments together in chronological order to form one single one-minute track. There should be no overlap or gap between segments; they should simply proceed from one to the next.

These audio elements will most likely be of music that you have yourself composed and recorded, but they might also consist of phone messages, field recordings, or other source material. These items should be somehow personal in nature, suitable to the autobiographical intention of the project; they should be of your own making, and not drawn from third-party sources.

When done, upload the finished track to the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud. Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Deadline: 11:59pm wherever you are on Monday, December 29, 2014.

Length: Your finished work should be 60 seconds long.

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.

Information: Please, when posting your track on SoundCloud, list the source of each of the 12 elements.

Title/Tag: When adding your track to the Disquiet Junto group on Soundcloud.com, please include the term “disquiet0156-audiojournal2014” in the title of your track, and as a tag for your track.

Download: It is preferable that your track is set as downloadable, and that it allows for attributed remixing (i.e., a Creative Commons license permitting non-commercial sharing with attribution).

Linking: When posting the track, please be sure to include this information:

Meteorologic [disquiet0156 - Audiojournal2014]

A very pretty glass with curves made many harmonics as the ice went in. Took around 15 samples. A couple were reserved for waveform synthesis - the rest went straight onto a 'drum' track. From there it came together quickly.
Nothing but ice, glass and water.

-----------------------------------------------------
Disquiet Junto Project 0157: A Little Ice Music
The Assignment: Record the sound of ice in a glass and make something of it.

Happy new year! This week’s project is as follows:

Step 1: Please record the sound of an ice cube rattling in a glass, and make something of it.

Step 2: Upload the finished track to the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud.

Step 3: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Background: Longtime participants in, and observers of, the Disquiet Junto series will recognize this single-sentence assignment as the very first Disquiet Junto project, the same one that launched the series on the first Thursday of 2012. Revisiting it a year and two years later, on the first Thursdays of 2013 and 2014, provided a fitting way to begin the new year. Now, at the start of the fourth year of the Disquiet Junto, it is a tradition. A weekly project series can come to overemphasize novelty, and it’s helpful to revisit old projects as much as it is to engage with new ones. Also, by its very nature, the Disquiet Junto suggests itself as a fast pace: a four-day production window, a weekly habit. It’s beneficial to step back and see things from a longer perspective.

Deadline: 11:59pm wherever you are on Monday, January 5, 2015.

Length: The length of your finished work should be between one minute and four minutes.

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.

Title/Tag: When adding your track to the Disquiet Junto group on Soundcloud.com, please include the term “disquiet0157-icemusic2015” in the title of your track, and as a tag for your track.

Download: It is preferable that your track is set as downloadable, and that it allows for attributed remixing (i.e., a Creative Commons license permitting non-commercial sharing with attribution).

Disquiet Junto Project 0168: Three of a Kind
Create an original, multi-part piece with a single audio source.

Step 1: You will be making a single track with three different parallel lines. It might be easiest to think of them as melody, rhythm, and an ambient foundational bed, but you might also do three counterposed rhythms, or a drone of three varying ambient beds. It’s up to you.

Step 2: Select a single source of audio. Perhaps it’s a segment of pre-existing track, or a single note on a favorite instrument, or a short recording of you humming or breathing.

Step 3: Transform that single source of audio to produce each of the three separate lines you plotted in Step 1.

Step 4: Record the track with those three lines running simultaneously.

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

Step 6: 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, March 19, 2015, with a deadline of 11:59pm wherever you are on Monday, March 23, 2015.

Length: The length of your finished work should be roughly between one and four minutes.

interconnected [disquiet0168-threeofakind]

This track came about by accident rather than design. Earlier in the day I'd gone out to take field recordings of the birdsong during an eclipse and thought I would use this as a single source for the track.
 I used three elements from the long clip, footsteps, birdsong and dog barks with the intention of using the bird song as ambience, footsteps as rhythm and dog barks as melody. I used yellofier for rhythms, sparkle for tone and space designer for ambience but ended up feeding the clips through each process in turn and then rearranging the resultant mulch in Logic.

parallel_phase_(2015)[disquiet0168-threeofakind]

All audio originates from a three second recording of me flicking through a textbook, the subsequent sound was then stretched using pauls extreme sound stretch to form the basis of both the bed and the low end. I used resonators and various space design plugins to acheive the final result.

**Production Notes**

The source is a pad I generated some days ago with Ambient V-03. 

I set up the pad on three different tracks, moved the starting point of each waveform, pitched -12, 0 and +12. Then I added some 1-pole-EQs, which cutoff frequencies were modulated by three slow LFOs. 

Added a slight compression - that’s it. First thought of calling it "Pink Fluffy Hyperpad", honestly ;-)

A thin line [disquiet0168-threeofakind]

Built from a couple of seconds nighttime recording; wingbeats and shrieks of flying foxes fighting over fruit on palm tree in backyard.

Brief clips set up as 'drum' hits, and fed into resonant filters and delay for 'bass line'. Mid length clips fed through multiple stages of reverb and pattern driven filters for ambient wrapper - with some bleed back into the bass filters and delay lines. 'Melody' is a mash of the original shrieks, without effects, but layered re-pitched playback.
