I am revisiting a track from my project Illusion Of Safety, recorded in 2010 and finally just released on the new album Organ Choir Drone. It has been a struggle for me to keep this project purely experimental and challenging in line with my original intent. I want to make many kinds of music that I love and am interested in the form(s)of music and want to explore making them, so its apparent that i need to pursue that in other projects. I am grateful for the challenge and assignments of the Disquiet Junto in helping that along. I keep going cinematic in many musical attempts, probably thanks to 2001 A Space Odyssey's influence on my 9 year old mind, and maybe my moms love of Burt Bacharach have played a part in my nebulous musical desires that tend to go cinematic/dramatic/orchestral. Today I took the track Waste of Civilization and edited it to a shorter version, added melodic elements: multiple piano, woodwinds, + a max4live DX-7 emulation and built it up using no grid or quantization. Another goal has been to get to the point of making more music with real instruments in real time. No Grid, I have a ways to go before that is successful, so please forgive the imperfections. Plus it still sounds like IOS:(

The Assignment: Rerecord a piece of music.
Step 1: The goal of this project is to simply perform and record again something you’ve performed and recorded previously. Think about something you’d like to revisit.
Step 2: Now rerecord the piece of music you decided upon in Step 1.

Bassline Collab (disquiet0636)

This is an entry to a prompt given by the Disquiet Junto (see below). If you want to listen to piece in its full "stereo glory", you find it here: 
https://soundcloud.com/analoc/left-shark-stereo-version

Found an old, noisy loop, added a bass in Generate (my new VST du jour), added a "guitar" line (also in Generate) and finally some stabs with Lux from Fors (lovely M4L playground). 

It has 78 BPM, is in F sharp, and I hope it's not too dense.

Disquiet Junto Project 0636: Left (1 of 3)

The Assignment: Record the first third of a trio.

Please note: While this project is the start of a three-part sequence that will unfold over the course of three weeks, you can participate in any or all three of those parts.

Step 1: This week’s Junto project is the first in a sequence intended to encourage and reward collaboration. You will be recording something with the understanding that it will remain unfinished for the time being. Your part will be done, but more will happen. Read on.

Step 2: The plan is for you to record a short and original piece of music using any instrumentation of your choice. Conceive the piece as something that leaves room for something else — other instruments, other people — to join in. (Keep in mind that your piece would appear panned to the left in the finished recording, after three weeks.)

Step 3: Record a short piece of music, roughly two to three minutes in length, as described in Step 2.

Step 4: This is important: be sure to make your track downloadable because it may be used by someone else in the next Disquiet Junto project, and then after that.

Tasks Upon Completion:

Label: Include “disquiet0636” (no spaces/quotes) in the name of your track.

Upload: Post your track to a public account (SoundCloud preferred but by no means required). It’s best to focus on one track, but if you post more than one, clarify which is the “main” rendition.

Share: Post your track and a description explanation at https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0636-left-1-of-3/

Discuss: Listen to and comment on the other tracks.

Additional Details:

Length: The length is up to you. Two to three minutes is best.

Overlapping loops, inspired the the warmup noodlings of an orchestra. The sound source is the PolyD fed through the "Sleepwalker" patch of the Zoia.

Lucky Link (disquiet0636)

This track is an asynchronous collaboration with @alanblip in the Disquiet Junto: Alan Blip a.k.a. Morgulbee published the beautiful drone-track https://soundcloud.com/alanblip/leftydrone-disquiet0636, and I now added strings, sounds based on sheep and a restrained piano-melody to it.

Track notes: "Lucky Link Village" from Creatures_Once/@miraclemiles (via @SinnySounds) jumped out at me straight away and got me thinking about a guitar accompaniment along the lines of Ry Cooder, Haruomi Hosono and Makoto Kubota. I recorded a simple fingerpicked acoustic guitar pattern which found its way around G tonic of the tuned percussion. I then added some slide guitar around this and affected both guitars with some phasing and flanging to give it a dreamy feeling. Then a field recording of the ocean lapping at the shore seemed entirely fitting.
