gabbia (disquiet0556)

What is slow? This week we were invited to combine Gabber (which I learned is basically early 90s electronic hard dance music) with Ambient (which I knew was not). And Gabber is fast and Ambient is slow.

But what if it wasn't? I have a few bits of favorite music where I'm not sure if they are fast or slow. And so I sort of leaned into that idea here. With a result which, if I had developed it for 19 minutes, may have become hypnotic, but that's kinda anti-social for the disquiet, so here's a 2:30 version.

Made for the disquiet junto 0556 where the idea was to fuse ambient and gabber genres.

Drums were made on a Digitakt and the rest was adding chaos / bliss in Ableton. Vocal samples come from Inspector Morse going to a rave. Legend has it this long episode contains the line "It's a rave, Lewis!", well I searched and couldn't find that, so just took some other bits.

The Assignment: Field-test a hybrid genre.

I started with a 200 bpm Kickdrum in Live. It seemed to be enough for some minutes. I added a lot of things, just to not be lazy. From there I went one by feeling. It was basically a loop with minimal variations when I exported stems and recut the track in Reaper by destroying a lot of things. I am really neither a fan of Kickdrums nor from bpms faster than 90, but after all I liked the track.

Garbient [disquiet0556]

Initially, I thought Gabber wouldn't be my cup of tea, but archive.org had some really interesting modern Gabber tracks under a Creative Commons License. The song that appealed to me the most was from an Indonesian production (Gabber Modus Operandi - Puxxximaxxx, "Hey Nafsu", https://archive.org/details/yesno091).

Ninety-nine percent of the sounds came from the track. I chopped up the snippets with Voltage Modular, stretched them in Ableton, and maltreated them with long effects chains. To add a bit of Ambient cliche, I added the song of a humpback whale (because, why not – sometimes a track needs a pink fluffy unicorn ribbon).

It still sounds rough around the edges, but maybe there's a genre of noise ambient it fits into.

Disquiet Junto Project 0556: Gabber Ambient
The Assignment: Field-test a hybrid genre.

Thanks to Sevenism for having proposed this project.

Gabber and ambient music seem like polar opposites. Gabber is typified by a constant distorted kick drum pummelling you at upwards of 200bpm. Ambient, on the other hand, can be deeply immersive or barely noticeable. This project asks the question: is “gabber ambient” possible?

Step 1: Consider what makes gabber gabber and what makes ambient ambient. Where is there crossover?

Step 2: Make a track that could be construed as “gabba ambient.”

Step 3: You’re probably going to want to delete it. Try not to. Save and upload.

Eight Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0556” (no spaces or quotation marks) in the name of your tracks.

Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag “disquiet0556” (no spaces or quotation marks). If you’re posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to subsequent location of tracks for the creation of a project playlist.

Step 3: Upload your tracks. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your tracks.

Step 4: Post your track in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:

Project discussion takes place on llllllll.co: https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0556-gabber-ambient/

Step 5: Annotate your track with a brief explanation of your approach and process.

Step 6: If posting on social media, please consider using the hashtag #DisquietJunto so fellow participants are more likely to locate your communication.

Step 7: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Step 8: Also join in the discussion on the Disquiet Junto Slack. Send your email address to marc@disquiet.com for Slack inclusion.

Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, August 28, 2022, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, August 25, 2022.

Length: The length is up to you. Does fast mean long or short?

0822 Disquiet Junto 556 Snafu Snafu Hey

This track is intended to create the soundscape of a superficially quiet place, where the hectic noises of industrial manufacturing processes blend with the calm melodies of strings and piano.
The string part was played by a Sonic Pi algorithm programmed exclusivly for this track - it reacts on Midi-notes and creates highly randomized sections based on these inputs.

The music was inspired by the Disquiet Junto Project 0556 (see below), the proposed Gabber-music inspired its interpretation as machine-induced production-sounds.
