Chain of Layers [Disquiet0696]

A groove in Dm @ 104 bpm played on a mahogany guild parlour guitar with a figure overdubbed. A foundation on which to ground your energy for the long struggle ahead.

Plastiq (disquiet0697)

Solo ronroco, 2 microphones, a great sounding room, some convolution reverb added.

This is  a simple idea I've been practising today, recorded Thursday 8th may 2025 at noon, first and only take.

Edited, mixed & mastered on 08 May 2025 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa, USA. 

Synth & effects

Having worked with musicians who aren't always mindful of leaving space in their playing, I dedicate this piece to them. I drew upon that experience while creating this work.

Stealing Third Base (disquiet0697)

Disquiet Junto 0697 is the first in a series of three, where each successive prompt's response is a contribution to a trio created via asynchronous collaboration.

To get this one going, I decided to contribute a bass/arp layer. I recorded three tracks on a keyboard controller and played back the notes on a tabletop Moog Minitaur bass synth while sculpting the sound in realtime. I love the Minitaur’s monophonic analog sound so much, and it’s a joy to perform on.

There is minimal processing on the tracks (light sculpted distortion and chorus) and no reverb. It’s also in mono so easy to pan left in the next prompt! If anyone wants stems, please let me know.

The piece is in C minor at 80bpm. I tried to provide a foundation while leaving plenty of room for other people, hopefully I struck that balance. I can’t wait to hear what you do with it!

The Assignment: Record the first third of a trio.

I used a drum kit made from a sample of water dripping in a hotel bathtub, obviously warped in various ways.  I used a sequencer that triggers the samples in a random way then I went back and did some editing, leaving some pauses.

Field recording from this morning, recorded in the garden while - - - gardening. I cut it into three equal parts of one minute each: work, walk, church bells.



Disquiet0697 - Sunday Morning Gardening

The Assignment: Record the first third of a trio.

I made a simple sequence, that should leave a lot of room for two musicians. It should be Fminor with 70bpm in 6/4.
