Type Set - disquiet0483

Another visit to the absent detective for Disquiet Junto 

This weeks instructions were to use a recording of typing as the rhythmic basis of a track. For some reason despite not having taken part for sometime this grabbed my imagination.

Most of the track apart from the solo is a supercollider program. Using machine listening to derive the timing from my typing. Despite my original intentions being very different the combination of typing and the patterns somehow got me in a blade runner/noir kind of mood and I leaned right into that. Indulgent but sod it 

If you are wondering what I'm typing it is this nonsense - I didn't want to have too big gaps between lines so I just kept typing. I think we can all agree it is complete bollocks: 

"The door swung open. It hadn’t been locked

I cautiously went in. The place was in disarray, chairs tipped over, rubbish everywhere. One window slightly open.

I surveyed the scene - was the occupant just a very messy person or had the place been turned over. I was never to find out. 

I heard a noise outside and before I had chance to react a woman came bursting through the door. 

“Ah there you are” she started 

She was kind of out of place, well dressed, a nice dress, furs. Classy - not like this dive 

“Look I’ve been phoning all week. I simply must know how you are getting one” 

“I’m not who you think I am” I said 

She stopped and looked at me

“And who do I think you are?” 

“well…” 

“God man - focus. Now look about the case - I need to see some progress. Not you dithering about here in this office. Get out there. Get some work done. I’m paying you enough” 

And with that she left "

You're Just My Type - Disquiet 0483

I recorded this for Disquiet Junto. The prompt was "use a recording of yourself typing something as the underlying rhythmic track for a piece of music".

I took the prompt quite literally and typed out a love letter. I then recorded a series of piano loops, aiming to capture such a mood. I then layered and arranged the loops in Ableton with some light audio effects.

Fahmi Mursyid - "Verlaten" (CUD13)

With thanks (and apologies) to Monty Python! Words by me.

Wearing a mask, to show me that you love me
I'm wearing a mask to show you I love you, too
I love to watch you sanitise
Looking into your eyes
2 metres away

Wearing a mask, to show me that you love me
I'm wearing a mask to show you I love you, too
Life could be great if we self-isolate
So we're stuck in our homes all because of Corona today
Till it goes away!

For Junto Project 0464: Blanket Song
Ok, this is not a usual junto submission for me as this is a personal track I’ve been working on for the past two weeks, and I was planning to properly release/distribute this one as soon as I finish it. But it suits the challenge so much that I’ll share it here first even if I tweak it a little bit next week for release.

Sometimes, when I hear music that inspires me to do something remotely similar, I start by learning (sometimes even recording) the part that produced a spark on me (a chord progression, a groove etc) and I work my song on top of that.

These past weeks I watched a show, *The Leftovers* season 1, and the music (by Max Richter) got on my head. So, I started recording it to try to analyse what’s so powerful on its simplicity, then try to do something similar. I did some changes, a different little melody, some notes on the arpeggio, and left it there.

Then a friend gave me an old Grestch snare drum, I did some recording at the end of the session I was working at that moment (my  Leftover-nick track) to check the snare’s sound, and loved it, reminded me of Gaisbourg’s “Melody Nelson” album so I added a picked jazz bass, and organ and then (why?) I decided to combine both things: **Max Richter meet Serge Gainsbourg**.

For a whole week I did some “serious” composition after that, the results are quite original and personal I think.
So I decided to dedicate the song to all Scorpios around (like me, and a dozen friends and relatives that celebrate their birthdays these fist 22 days of November and late October)
To stay on the stealing/inspiring mood, I nicked the title from some lyrics by Phoebe Bridgers (with whose music I’ve been seriously infatuated BTW)

So, this one’s for Max Richter, Serge Gainsbourg, Phoebe Bridgers and all Scorpios around.

Officially released Dec 30th 2020
