This is my contribution to this week's Disquiet Junto Project - as every first project of a new year the assignment is to create music from recording of an ice cube rattling in a glass.
I used PaulXStretch to create ambient sounds from two short, only 1 second long recordings I made rattling an ice cube in a glass. Then I added individual effects to the different sound-scapes and arranged those outputs to the track you can listen to here.

Ice Troll (disquiet0627)

For this challenge, I re-used the samples I made way back for Disquiet 0262 in 2017.  This time though, I processed the sample using the modular - One side of Lubadh playing the sample, the other echoing it, then Clouds and Rings both process it as well. I then played the faders on my mixer to create a track, that sounds quite warm for an ice bath!

Warm Ice (Disquiet0627)

Matching the “have a drink” prompt I wanted to make something positive, funky, so I added basslines, a beat (lifted from a pretty famous 1974 pop hit that has to remain unnamed) and a “chant”.

I wish everyone a positive year full of joy!

Disquiet0627 - Clink clink

Happy and healthy 2024, everyone! 

This was meant initially for last year’s ice cube challenge, but somehow, it didn’t work out last January. I poured ice cubes in a big glass bowl and shoved them around, and from these sounds, I made some hihats, several shakers, and a lead voice (starts in the last third). I don’t use much shuffle in my tracks, but this time, thanks to Borsta and Skaka, there’s a tad more groove than normally. 
Used Choreographs for bells and chords, Sines for a wash… and that’s that.

Disquiet Junto Project 0627: Just Ice Society
The Assignment: Record the sound of ice in a glass and make something with it.

Welcome to a new year of Disquiet Junto communal music projects. This week’s project is as follows. It’s the same project we’ve begun each year with since the very first Junto project, way back in January 2012. The project is, per tradition, just this one step:

Step 1: Please record the sound of an ice cube rattling in a glass, and make something of it.

It’s great if you can record your own ice sounds, but if you want some help, the always awesome Jason (Bassling) Richardson has provided some source audio:

Background: Longtime participants in, and observers of, the Disquiet Junto series will recognize this single-sentence assignment — “Please record the sound of an ice cube rattling in a glass, and make something of it” — as the very first Disquiet Junto project, the same one that launched the series back on the first Thursday of January 2012. Revisiting it at the start of each January ever since has provided a fitting way to begin the new year. By now, it qualifies as a tradition. A weekly project series can come to overemphasize novelty, and it’s helpful to revisit old projects as much as it is to engage with new ones. Also, by its very nature, the Disquiet Junto suggests itself as a fast pace: a four-day production window, a regular if not weekly habit. It can be beneficial to step back and see things from a longer perspective.
