Music for Time Travelers (Disquiet Junto Project 0264)
Record a piece of music that plays with the perception of time.

I’m not sure if this arpegiator synth meets acoustic string section does deliver in this week’s junto idea: time travel, but I went  for a musical time lapse idea, fast hysteric synths and soft expressive  strings that seems to come from a different “time” ie a much slower paced tune, so there’s this feeling of being in a place a bit beyond our normal space-time. Harmonic shifts also seem to be a little away from normal/logical tonal flow.
Hope you like it, 
cheers

Daniel Diaz: solo charango take. Recorded in Valeria Del Mar, Argentina, February 2016.

Treated, chopped, transposed, pitch and time shifted, edited and mixed in Paris, 21st April 2017.

Created for Disquiet Junto Project 0277: Chew Concrète
The Assignment: Make music inspired by C. Reider’s Chew Cinders album procedures.

Interesting approach.
This is part of a bunch of improvisations on Charango I recorded while travelling in Argentina last year. I couldn’t find a good destination/treatment/development for this particular fragment, and I started transposing (5th up, 8ve up, 5th down, etc) to see what happened. Abandoned a month ago, this assignment gave me the idea of un-mute all the tracks and try to structure that mess.
There are the same track (Charango) copied 7 times and transposed, feeding some delays that are also transposed.
The transposed tracks are sometimes plain transposition and others “keep duration” so the rhythmic parts are also playing games with each other. I added a synth soft pad to glue everything together.
Have a nice day,

dd

Synths and treatments  by DD, Paris 2017

Disquiet Junto Project 0285: Live Barcoding
 
I used different constant delays and skidder FX but changing the setting time/pattern from one measure to the next, so every chord has it’s own repetitive tail. 
In a way  the full track could be read as a barcode interpretation. 
Cheers
DD

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.
