Duration: 2 min

Nice obliteration! Unexpected turns all the way through. Thanks heaps for throwing my track into the glorious churn! :)

an imagined perspective of the 'mind' of an iris flower- looking to the sun, communicating with bees, setting seed and so on.  A response to a Haiku written by John Hinks,(aka FlownBlue)
 On the canal bank 
Vivid yellow irises – 
Silent sentinels

Blink Factory(disquiet0610)

This track is a rework of the wonderful tracks https://soundcloud.com/noodletwister/plucks-pad-disquiet0609 by @noodletwister and https://soundcloud.com/henklasschuit/speed-limit-pt-1-disquiet0609 by @henklasschuit inspired by the Disquiet Junto Project 0609: Both tracks were slowed down from 60 to 30 BPM and combined using different effects to create this track.

Plucks & Pad & Speed Limit [featuring Noodle Twister and Henk Lasschuit] (Disquiet0610)

Time stretch modes as lofi rhythmic filters. 4 tracks are slowed to 1/2 speed and cut into short segments. Each segment repeatedly shifts between time stretch modes to create timbral variations. 

Featuring Debroc, Jimmy Lem, 4//lIGhT, and a stem from my Disquiet submission last week.

The Assignment: Combine two or more pre-existing 60 BPM tracks into something new — at half the speed.

Step 2: Select two or more tracks from the provided ones, slow them to half their original pace — that is, to 30 BPM — and use editing techniques to combine them into one new piece of music.

Slow & Low (RabMusicLab, Samplair, A.Kitzmann)(disquiet0610)

Contains recordings by Tristan Louth-Robins, Thomas Undermulden, Hugh G Prat, Jonathan Zorn and Bo OhWell
Mixed & mastered 10 Sep 2023 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa.

Process notes -
Along with my own submission for 0609, I grabbed pieces of the following
 - [Disquiet_Junto_0609] Refactored Drift (60 bpm) by Tristan Louth-Robins
 - Sleep Spindles (disquiet0609) by undermulden
 - Upeow (disquiet0609) by Hugh G Prat
 - Disquiet0609 60bpm by Jonathan Zorn
 - Shadow Clocks [disquiet0609] by OhWell

After roughly tuning the tracks to something approaching C, I chopped chunks out of each, shortened these to 1 min total length from different starting points, chose different warp modes in Live and then stretched all 6 tracks to 2 min. I added some effects, including some to add pitchiness to non-tonal material. I used Max for Live to modulate some parameters while others were manually automated, then cut more chunks out. I accepted my rough mix and ran these through a variation of my Ozone 9 mastering chain.

For this remix, I worked with a handful of tracks from the 0609 collection that I gravitated towards, chopping + processing them in Paulstretch, Twisted Wave, and Ableton Live to halve their speeds.

'Blink' by https://soundcloud.com/analoc became a melodic anchor that the rest of the remix was built around. It was interesting to listen to the results of slowing + pitching the original tracks down. Sometimes I would sample the original speed version, and others I would first slow down before stumbling onto something that clicked well with the composition.
