This track is an asynchronous trio with @encym and Marc Eisenschink (@randomshuffle). I had the wonderful opportunity to add my inspirations to the beautiful track https://soundcloud.com/randomshuffle/frugality-enner-nothingdisquiet0592 created by these two great musicians.

@triermusic last submission (https://soundcloud.com/triermusic/two-of-three-disquiet0592) inspired me with his melody added to Andreas Kitzmann (https://soundcloud.com/andreas-kitzmann-27370936/disquiet0591). It reminded me the great Augustus Pablo. So I decided to dub and pay a tribute to the great melodica master.

I recorded bass and guitar tracks and a rhythmic experimental track with AudioThing Noises. Guitar & Noises are processed by AudioThing Outer Space for delay and reverb. I then added encoderaudio Ferro to give some tasty tape hiss, wow & flutter to my tracks.
It was challenging to work without a BPM and with such fluid structure.

Dem Three (disquiet0593)

Trio with Marc Eisenschink and Encym. My part is a few tracks of softpop 2.

Disquiet Junto Project 0593: The Charm The Assignment: Record the second third of an asynchronous trio.
Please note: While this is the third part of a three-part project sequence, you can participate in one, two, or all three of the parts, which have occurred over the course of three consecutive weeks.
Step 1: This week’s Disquiet Junto project is the third in a sequence that encourages and rewards asynchronous collaboration. This week you will be adding music to a pre-existing track, which you will source from the previous week’s Junto project (disquiet.com/0592 3). Note that you are finishing a trio: you’re creating the third part of what two previous musicians began. Please keep this in mind.
Step 2: The plan is for you to record an original piece of music, on any instrumentation of your choice, as a complement to a pre-existing track. First, however, you must select the piece of music to which you will be adding your own music. There are tracks by numerous musicians to choose from.

Trio (w. Marc Eisenschink and Encym)[disquiet0593]

My version of a remote trio. I contributed the "vocals" which were generated by running noise through Adobe Podcast... which tried to turn the noise into words.

Disquiet Junto Project 0593: The Charm
The Assignment: Record the second third of an asynchronous trio.

I decided for https://soundcloud.com/micheleisoni/the-mystic-disquiet0592 based on https://soundcloud.com/caustic_gates/disquiet0591-patchouli-wash because I liked it's mysteriosity and because it left some space. I added two tracks of rhythmic elements, both made with a patch from my AEmodular system, knobbed live to somehow fit the existing music. I allowed myself to decenter it a little bit and to change the volume balance. Thanks to Michele Isoni and Caustic_gates!

Adding to @rshaddox's addition to @winterer's original. Trying to remain within keeping of the two that preceded me.

my choice for the second submission was the beautiful piece by Marc Eisenschink w/ encym.
[Frugality & enner & nothing](https://soundcloud.com/randomshuffle/frugality-enner-nothingdisquiet0592)
 i felt it was asking for minimal real piano. added a bit of reverb to my centered mono track.

It was an interesting balancing act, to add something fresh while still leave enough space for the original material to breathe.

This is my 2nd iteration.
Initially, I wanted to just record a drum part but wasn’t satisfied with the end result.
I wanted something more subtle.

So for the 2nd iteration, I came up with a process that allowed me to explore a few of my current interests at the same time. Probably that’s why I was willing to give this piece so much attention. Hm…

Below is a somewhat detailed description of the process and context.
It’s long & detailed, because I wanted to capture a few thoughts while they’re still fresh.

Context:

earlier this week, I studied interviews with Nils Frahm about his current improvised live concerts (How I Play Live: Nils Frahm | DJMag.com). My take-away for me was that playing all parts by hand (e.g. not relying on quantized sequencers) is a part of his organic sound that I like so much.
That motivated me to play keyboard a lot more - mostly piano & electric piano sounds with a touch of tape delay effect - and discover that this is currently my favorite thing to do, musically.

yesterday, I repaired the broken switch of the audio input preamp on my Buchla Easel, and my mind was naturally wondering about how to employ it in the next projects…

earlier today, I read an interview with Biosphere (In the studio with Biosphere | Headphone Commute) - another artist whose sound I like a lot.
I liked the idea of processing samples of acoustic instruments (he mentions sampling classical music) through synths/filters/etc.

yesterday, I found the perfect reverb effect pairing for the Easel - a modulated space reverb pedal.

All of the above coming together to form the idea for a process.

Frugal3ty feat Marc Eisenschink and encym [disquiet0593]

I was listening through the tracks and hit "The Lonely Pelican Has a Friend" and it absolutely wowed me with its gorgeousness combined with just a bit of glitchyness. The delay on the guitar made me think about setting up a Frippertronics-like loop and playing that over top.

I loaded the original track into AUM's file player on the iPad, fired up the iOdyssey app, and found a suitable fluty/chirpy patch; I've been itching to try it out more, and this seemed like just the right thing for it.

I added the K7D audio effects unit to give me a panning looper for the Odyssey, and recorded two takes of the original plus the Odyssey. Neither of which was quite what I wanted -- just a little thin...so I decided, why not try both? 

I loaded both takes and the original track into AUM, and played it all back in sync to record the final track. This slightly emphasized the grittiness in spots, but I decided that I liked the effect...partly because it is interesting, and partly because getting two more isolated takes was more time than I had to spend.

This was definitely couch (actually bed) synthesis; I did the whole performance, recording,  and mixing on the iPad. I only needed to move the final track to the Mac to MP3 encode and add the track metadata before uploading.

Downloaded the final track, as noted, and tagged the file with Fission, generating a quick bit of art with ML.
