The Loneliest Voices (disquiet0591)

A second entry for this week's Disquiet Junto, this one using Fake Genius's lovely Neapolitan sketch "Quietude" as the seed. I added guitar (roughly) thinking about the kind of thing Johnny Marr does on Pet Shop Boys tracks. Very curious to see if anyone picks this up to complete ... not really that many pop songs around the Junto? Fake Genius's description: "some street sounds and kids playing soccer (and calling each other names). On top there is a simple DX7 pad with a progression in Gm, with a sparse beat (no kick, no snare) at a 130 BPM."

A remix of @user-711331258's collaboration with @noodletwister and @sinnysounds for last week's Junto.

The track and the reverse of the track were sent to my modular, where the audio was chopped based on varying decay envelopes. Some of the signal was overdriven and some sent though a Wasp filter. The resulting signal was filtered using a SEM filter to remove some of the harsher frequencies. Three tracks were recorded using different settings, then merged in Ableton for the final track. These were combined with an LA Atmos track from Spitfire Audio's LABS, and my own field recording of the San Francisco BART at Powell Street.

Disquiet Junto Project 0595: Filter Progression
The Assignment: Make music by processing a static sound.

I used a field recording of static rain in Munich from 2021 or so, on four tracks identically. All of them got filtered thru Cardinal VST, a very nice VCV Rack alternative, working as an effect, so that I could apply nested LFOs and parameter curves to the stereo filters (1x lowpass, 1x highpass, 2x bandpass) and it's resonances. The whole mix was filtered by apesoft apefilter for dramaturgy reasons.

There was a 1 hour version but I cut it down to 10 minutes because even I could not stand it that long, but with 10 minutes it's nice. Without the junto rule set I think I would have applied more elements.
