Get Misty For Me (naviarhaiku589)

This is my submission to this week's Disquiet Junto assignment.

More on the 709th weekly Disquiet Junto project, Overclocked — The Assignment: Speed up a machine (or process) until it falters — at Disquiet Junto Project 0709: Overclocked – Disquiet.

"Speed it up until it begins to break down" was the directive for Disquiet Junto 0709 Overclocked. I can do that!

I work a lot with samples from old radio programs and movies, and one of my other projects has me working with the audio track from the Vincent Price classic "House on Haunted Hill". Since it was handy I started this piece with a chunk from that movie. When I'm done with file prep and ready to start cutting samples, I sometimes start with an audio app called Fission that has an auto-slicing feature. You set a db level and silence width, and it cuts things into neat words and phrases.

"Speed it up until it begins to break down." I took several passes at the source audio, dropping the volume sensitivity and reducing the silence width, getting finer chunks of words and eventually syllables. I loaded three sets of these into sampler instruments, and set out making MIDI patterns for sample triggering. The tempo climbs in 5bpm intervals as the whole thing turns cacophonous. 

Sped up until they started to break down: Roland TR-08 drum machine and Moog Minitaur bass synth.


None of the Murders Were Ordinary (disquiet0709)

For this track I used a short electronic sequence. passed it through a granular vst with speed and other settings at maximum values then added a little delay and detuning. Needless to say, the result is totally different from the original.

Made in response to:

In spring sunlight
the rows of tea bushes
ripple like waves

Naviar haiku challenge 604, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

A couple of relatively simple elements combined with an experimental layer using several stages of granular processing. All the basic components were made with Voltage Modular plus some additional granular processing using GRFX from Imaginando. Mixed and manipulated in a single "Live" improvised take.
