Disquiet Junto Project 0173: Over Version

Disquiet Junto submissions

After a few issues getting to the source, I finally found it elsewhere and downloaded it. As I was listening the first time through I instantaneously decided on vocals... I don't sing, so I went for a walk thinking about it. Then I thought of using a recording of my father reading one of his own poems... in order to make the poem fit the length of the original piece I tried a few things out. Ended up whit what you hear - the poem stretched and frozen by me in realtime using HourGlass - and as an ending; the poem as originally read with nothing done to it...

“disquiet0173-overversion” autobiographical object

**Production Notes**

What a rumbling fest this was! I had to tame the frequencies of the original material with an EQ, but there’s still a good deal of bass frequencies left. 

Duplicated the original twice, used Abletons transient detection for some "HiHats" and "Toms". I added a drum layer (FM Kick Drum, FM Glass Hit) for some rhythmic variations. 

After that the real fun began. I added the Rounds Reaktor ensemble and my newly purchased TC 303 clone ABL. Layed out some simple chords and a hook line. Then it was time to fiddle with the knobs!

Way too much happening here, but it was fun.

Associated photo from Gareth, at https://www.flickr.com/photos/trois-tetes/147640480/
part used as graphic with this soundcloud track, and rendered from photo to sound with Audacity.

The phrase "The Past is Breaking Through" synthesized using this service: http://imtranslator.net/translate-and-speak/

Since the source track is bass and rhythm-oriented I focused on higher-pitched or non-percussive sounds.  The Sears field recordings were made this weekend so they were on my mind when composing as a sound source. I can see seven tracks but hope the disparate "sounds" unify into one musical piece in the listeners' minds.

The Past Is Breaking Through (disquiet0173-overversion)

For the assignment detailed here: http://disquiet.com/2015/10/22/disquiet0199-spacecrickets/

All sounds are from Soundtransit at http://archive.turbulence.org/soundtransit/index.html
except one track of a field recording of cicadas I made in North Carolina this summer; and a second of a slowed-down piledriver from the building work around China Basin in San Francisco. The SoundTransit sounds are all reused under their Creative Commons license.

All sounds arranged and mixed in Garageband. 

My intent was to make the basic foley sound of a spaceship in space at the moment a character plays a cassette featuring the crickets/rain earth sounds. From the movie I expect lots of engine rumble and pipe sounds during their long journey. Matt Damon was creepy in that movie.

Submission for the Disquiet Junto assignment, here: http://disquiet.com/2015/11/12/disquiet0202-costoffreedom/

My plan was to maintain focus on the speaking, while rendering the text with a text-to-speech synthesizer and adding background sounds.

Created as part of the Disquiet Junto project  no. 204, structured around the audio provided at https://soundcloud.com/toaster-1/beacon-for-marissa

For this project I abandoned the set BPM of the garageband file and just drummed along with the ambient track, and then added in a few other sound elements.

Beacon - Toaster - Remix (Disquiet0204 - Underbeat)

For this Disquiet assignment, looking at the graphic notation, the main keyboard plays the three full notes and pause. The drum tattoos were an attempt to play the second notation hidden behind the first but I lost track. The third track slides and panning represent the spiral, telescoping edge of the wooden object behind the two sheets.

I used this wikipedia guide to determine what the fourth piece of notation was on that top sheet (a quarter note rest) -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_musical_symbols

Garageband instruments are: Titanic Waves synth; Event Horizon synth; "Heavy" drum kit.
