A Foolish Consistency

Disquiet Junto Project 0670: Right of Way
The Assignment: Music for turn signals.

With an indicator, we either want to turn only left or only right, but in my head it was always left or right within the same indicator. So I added some undecided strings. And because life has many surprises in store that don't want to fit into the constant back and forth, these one too.

AURORA (PREDOMINANTLY GREEN)

Leaves that fall and fade

The brief asks to turn what is quiet loud, and what is loud quiet, so I sampled insects from field recordings on freesound.org and used them to create every sound source in the track with the exception of a recording of a Dutch motorway which acts as the buried backdrop for the insect chorus above it.

Recorded, mixed & mastered  by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa. 

Process notes -
I started by thinking that verses are quiet and choruses are loud and that my (instrumental) piece would have a clear simple melody in the chorus section and longer notes for the verse. Then I would just make the chorus quiet and the verses louder or in some way more brash.

On Friday, I started working on my monthly Patreon pack - this time using Ableton Live’s Wavetable. I started from an “analog” preset, messed it up a bit and then came up with 10 variations. I put that aside for the pack and then opened a new Live set to branch off from there for this submission. 

On Saturday, I arranged the bones of what I had, added a little Roar distortion to the bass/drone and added a few unpredictable elements to finish the track. 

Tools used - Ableton Live, Wavetable, Roar & other native Live devices, Sonic Bloom Bodhrán & Kalimba, iZotope Ozone 9.

Disquiet Junto Project 0673: Switch Back
The Assignment: Make the quiet part loud, and vice-versa.

I am busy right now but I wanted to participate and had already a track in mind. It's a simple remix from an unreleased ambient track, that was planned to have two silent noisefloors, one abstract, one of me walking trough leaves. It's now shorter, and I killed the abstract noise floor; the walking trough leaves is now dominant, the two tracks of music are now in the background.
