Disquiet Junto Project 0698: Second Third

The Assignment: Record the second third of a trio.

There are two versions of the instructions for this week’s project — one very short, the other very long.

Very short version (about 25 words): Select a track from last week’s project (disquiet.com/0697), pan it to the left, and add your own line to the right, leaving room in the center for someone to eventually turn it into a trio.

Very long version (over 600 words) at disquiet.com/0698.

Deadline: Monday, May 19, 2025, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.

Disquiet Junto Project 0698: Second Third

I chose the brilliant track by https://soundcloud.com/torstengoerke for this Disquiet Junto brief; to add a second part in an eventual trio ... https://soundcloud.com/torstengoerke/plastiq-disquiet0697?si=e511e161b08d44e789d92e107816d030&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

Looking forward to hearing any additions to complete the triangle of collaboration! ❤️

halF plastiQ [disquiet0698] with Torsten Goerke

Based on a piano performance by @leonclowes, I played an OB-E (thanks, Tom Oberheim & @gforce-software) over Leon’s piano. I was going for a streamlined version of something quiet by Ravel — a kind of synthetic tone poem. Both the piano and strings are fake, but hopefully there’s still room to build.

Maurice in a Hole (with leon clowes) - disquiet0698

A bass track over @half-unusual 's groove.
I played electric bass guitar (maple fender jazz bass with a pick and mute and a crunchy amp) with an overdrive pedal and a “skidder” effect tweaked in real time.

Added a rhythm played on the TR8S with a second pass to hand-crank filter and delay effects.

This pie is waiting for a third to fill in the missing piece.

For this piece I incorporated “Hydrasynth-105bpm-CMaj_disquiet0697 6 chords” disquiet0697 by 14 Below Zero (https://soundcloud.com/14-below-zero) for the left channel.  https://soundcloud.com/14-below-zero/hydrasynth-105bpm-cmaj_disquiet0697-6-chords-disquiet0697 

My contribution is on the right. 

For my part, I acted in a supporting role, starting with 14 Below Zero’s notes & Cherry Audio’s emulation of Octave Electronics’ 1976 CAT synth and then adding effects & editing where I felt appropriate. I had such a block on mixing this because I dislike hard panning for most things…so I mixed it in a way I preferred. After I felt good about that mix, I hard panned it again (except for some effects) and yeah, I still liked it. This should be fun for someone to add to next week.
