Ice To Water (disquiet0471)

Every element in this song is made from three samples of ice cubes in a glass that I recorded on my phone. I put the samples in Ableton and with Simpler and sound design editing (Effects, panning, sample manipulation etc.) I created around 10 drum elements and 3 melodic elements from these samples. Plus I spread the raw samples into the track, with very light pan editing. I put the rhythms down quite quickly, because I wanted to make this track as fast as possible. Hope you enjoy!

(Ice)Cream #disquiet0471

I been doing these New Year Ice challenges for a few years and I suppose each year is a snapshot of whatever I was using at the time. This year, what with the Covid buggeration, meant I spent a lot of time building diy synths and modules.  I most recently built a Plinky synth, a simply lovely polyphonic digital synth and sampler. I fed it the original loop I used for the challenge in 2013 and used its outputs to trigger a DFAM and modulate fx. The decayed sax sound is the plinky oscillators fed through Monsoon

ICES(disquiet0471)

This is the first time I participate in the annual ice cubes challenge of the Disquiet Junto. I first recorded the sound of ice cubes falling into a glass in Audacity. Then I slowed the recording down 10 and 50 times. I made three versions of a 30 times slowed down recording: with pitch change, without pitch change and paulstretch. I also made a reversed version of the original recording.
I loaded all recordings in Nysthi's Quad Simpler in VCV Rack. The original recording goes through a delay for a nice stereo rhythm. The three 30 times slowed down versions are combined to make a comfy bed for the basses and melodies to lie in. They are triggered every now and then bij the EOC-trigger of the 10 times slowed down version. The 50 times slowed down version makes for a really deep bass, but it also provides, through an envelope follower, CV for the pitch of a sawtooth that is filtered and the cut-off frequency is controlled by the reverse recording (also through an envelope follower). This is triggered by the EOC-trigger of the original recording, to get some nice synchronicity.
After pondering the relevant questions of how to start and how to stop, I came up with this.

This is stub of our collab piece for the Disquiet Junto Jam Time 2021. It is inspired by a patch by Omri Cohen and follows his idea of unsynced loops that I found relieving. For a long time my hesitation with electronic music creation was the idea of proper syncronisation...
