Nice textures and feel. Has a soundtrack vibe, the piece feels like a narrative.

The original track is a mix of noise recordings that I made a couple of weeks ago. This is then transformed by slowing down the tempo a little & filtering to create a metallic resonance. The second follows from the first without a break.

Disquiet Junto Project 0505: Line Out
The Assignment: Share a track, get feedback, and give feedback.

Step 1: The purpose of this week’s project is to provide participants opportunities to get feedback on works-in-progress. Consider work you’re doing you’d appreciate responses to from fellow Junto participants.

Step 2: Either upload an existing recording (sketches and mid-process takes may prove optimal), or record something new and post it online for feedback. If there are some things in particular you’d like feedback on, mention what they are.

Track notes: This is one of two WIP tracks that I'm working on in collaboration with the Adelaide-based artist, Simone Kennedy. Her new work, Pilgrimage to Imago (The Primordial Mother Project)continues her exploration of themes associated with the notion of the 'mother', memory and identity. Her work is characterised by juxtapositions of these themes through 'soft-sculpture' and photo media. Insects - prodiminantly flies - feature heavily across her body of work. 

I've been collaborating with Simone since 2014 and it's always such an immense privilige to work with an artist whose work frequently astonishes me. She's currently in London finalising the work and I should have these compositions finished in October this year.

--------------

"The Lasting Waltz" is one of two 'waltzes' I've been asked to compose, sourcing inspiration from Engelbert Humperdink's 1960s hit, "The Last Waltz". This is what I'd regard as a deconstruction of a waltz, since the semblance of the 3/4 meter is there, but prone to be realigned and disrupted. As per Simone's prompt, the piece embodies a dance between the daughter and the fly.

I took the original track by Humperdink, ran it through RX8 and separated the instrumental parts so that I could use the piano, strings and drums in isolation. The bulk of the rearrangement was done using a Make Noise Morphagene, creating 'plastic' loops and layers that could be stretched, constrained and obliterated. On top of this, my own musical elements and aspects of musique concrete are applied.

Whilst it's arrived in the shape I'm after, there's still a lot of refinement required. Any feedback on the WIP is most welcome!

File updated Sep/7th/2021 after some  positive feedback, shorter, more dynamic...
Part of a work in progress (on hold, almost abandoned) I planned to build 5 repetitive pieces using percussion instruments and tempo delays. My plan was to build some hypnotic rhythms in odd time signatures (3/4 5/4 7/4 9/4 11/4) and make it more in the 1970's repetitive music vein and not on a groovy world music percussion track.
I'm not a serious percussion player really so I can't develop a swinging percussion solo, but I thought it was interesting to explore the "mechanical" development of repetitive, copy/paste grooves I can create using multiple percussion instruments and other objects.

I already shared here the first Pulse 3 track, this is the second I recorded, then a few months back I decided to stop, cause I don't think this is really interesting.
Is it?
I consider three options now:
1- Should I use these full tracks as the basis for something else? (adding other melodic instruments and textures above it?)
2- Should I make a 1 minute snippet and use  it as a rhythmic interlude on an album or something?
3-Or should I trash it and just extract some rhythmic loops for my Loop Vault?
Comments, opinions and critics are appreciated.

Performed  by DD June 2021 on several acoustic percussion instruments and objects, with further edits and copy/paste for the basic layers.

Genre fluid music for images / instrumental / contemporary post-fusion / experimental jazz / electro acoustic ambient / melodic noise / neoclassical / naive hard core / cosmopolitan world music.

bio here:
http://dedeland.com/daniel-diaz-bio/


In some words:
Composer, arranger, producer, multi-instrumentalist. Born in Argentina,
I studied music in Buenos Aires, New York, Boston, Los Angeles and Paris.

For 20 years, I developed an important career as a session and backing musician in Argentina and Europe, playing, among other instruments, the bass, touring and recording with many jazz, rock, fusion, world, Latin and tango bands.

At the same time, I worked as an arranger, producer and musical director with many projects and artists in the USA, Argentina and Europe.

From 1992 to 1997, I performed my compositions live with my own band in Buenos Aires and began a solo recording career with the worldwide release of my first album "The Years Alone" on the North American label Green Linnet/Xenophile. On this album I arranged and performed 11 of my songs written between 1986 and 1993. I played most of the instruments, but included guest appearances by some great South American players.

My recording career continued with "Segundo Ciclo" (1997), released worldwide by Timeless Records, and 12 more albums released between 2000 and 2016.

Currently, I work as an on-demand film/TV composer while continuing to play live and produce.
