Bass Drone (disquiet0525)

I was listening through some recent field recordings and thought this recording of me hurrying down ten flights in a concrete stairwell of an older apartment building in San Francisco might serve as a sort of free rhythm track for the next pass or two. I felt it could use some emphasis of the resonance on the landings, which I added with EQ and a subtle delay. There's also a short noise loop at one point. This was a fun disquiet when I did it two years ago!

"The plan is for you to record a short and original piece of music, on any instrumentation of your choice. Conceive it as something that leaves room for something else — other instruments, other people — to join in."

This track features spare drums and two keyboard loops; composed into a basic intro, four measures of drums, a two measure break of mainly a keyboard loop, then closing drums. So there's room for bass, guitar, keyboards, more percussion, sound samples, whatever fits. 130BPM.

I often start files with some drums and one instrument, thinking I am setting up the scaffolding for a future song... but have a lot of files that only get that far. This is the most I've completed in a long time, and very quickly; so it is probably a mental thing - it's easier as part of a bigger collaborative project handed to someone else.

Caveat: Everything is panned to the left per the project request. However Garageband's panning knob isn't knocking those drums out of stereo, so I'm still hearing them in the middle(?).

Disquiet Junto Project 0525: Magic Number (1 of 3)
The Assignment: Record the first third of a trio.

Step 1: This week’s Junto project is the first in a sequence intended to invite, 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, on any instrumentation of your choice. Conceive it as something that leaves room for something else — other instruments, other people — to join in.

Step 3: Record a short piece of music, roughly two to three minutes in length, as described in Step 2. When done, if possible, pan the audio so that your piece is solely in the left side of the stereo spectrum.

Step 4: Also, and this is important, be sure, when done, to make your track downloadable, because it will be used by someone else in the next Disquiet Junto project.

L Chord Pulse - [disquiet0525]

This week's prompt is to create the first part in a trio. The obvious strategy here is to keep it sparse to make room for other people. I've begun taking baritone horn lessons again and am really into the idea of incorporating the horn into an electronics set up. This drone is just just me going up and down a sequence of fifths using a couple of Live Racks I'm experimenting with that incorporate the envelope follower. One FX chain keeps the Echo feedback at 101%, dropping below 100% only when the Envelope Follower detects a new incoming note from the horn. Another FX chain speeds up the panning whenever there's a new note. 

I've got some dubious intonation, but I'm going to call it unconventional timbre and go with it!

The second half of the drone is a reversed version of the first half.

If you like this, add onto it for the next Junto!!!
