Love how the piece slowly comes into focus - great textures.

My intention here was to derive my "top" and "bottom" levels by splitting the frequencies of my source material into high and low bands. Said source material being a field recording of an airport concourse and a fragment of piano chords.
  I then processed these two bands with different rates of standard delay on one "send" and size of Granular delay on another. 
  To the "bottom" I added a Synth part as an anchor amid the chaos and used some EQ sweeps towards the end to vary the form.

@disquiet

The project: Make music inspired by C. Reider’s (@vuzhmusic)Chew Cinders album procedures. (Available at https://midnightcircles.bandcamp.com/album/chew-cinders)

Focusing on manipulating time and pitch, I used Cakewalk's Sonar, and several effects pedals (Red Panda Particle, Earthquaker Devices Avalanche Run, and Old Blood Noise Endeavors Dark Star)to process two 2-3 minute long field recordings taken outside my house on a spring night.  Please enjoy the distorted perspective.

@disquiet

The project: 3 chords x 100 seconds

After reading the project description, I keyed in on the idea of creating sounds that would sustain for the entire 100 seconds, rather than replaying or retriggering an instrument periodically. I realized that the trick was that while I had plenty of ways to make sounds that would sustain for the duration... they were single tones, and I couldn't generate a chord. Conversely, I had plenty of instruments that would play lovely triads... but they would trail out long before the 100 seconds (unless I decided to use a synth patch that I could tweak). So I set about looking first for sound sources that would sustain or resonate, and then would try to figure out how to process those sounds into chords later on. After banging on a lot of diningware, some toys, and random resonant surfaces, I settled on:

1. My voice singing a single note, then pitch and frozen-delay processed through a Red Panda Particle granular delay pedal.

2. The hum of the touch panel keyboard on my Volca Beats, recorded through an electromagnetic pickup, and pitch processed through an Old Blood Noise Dark Star 'orchestral' delay pedal.

3. An organ-ish patch on my Volca FM, processed through an Earthquaker Avalanche Run reverse delay and reverb.

I used B/D/A as my chord structure - based on the pitch from the EM pickup on the Volca Beats, and complimentary harmonies on the Dark Star. The processed vocal and the noise/hum patch created from the EM pickup both wound up being generative/infinite sustain sounds. The FM organ is the only one where I fudged my idea a little - creating most of the sustain by adjusting the envelope decay time in the synth.

A little filtering, fading, and slight delay (iZotope DDLY) and reverb (Valhalla Shimmer) were added to sweeten the mix. 

Congrats to Marc on #300! Thank you for stirring the creative pot that gets our ideas simmering. Here's to 300 more - Cheers!

He was the first Alien I met. When I was a child the scrap dealer came along our street with his U.D.O. (Unknown Driving Objekt). 
Looking for things he could repair his broken starship with and playing a signature tune over a sneaky speaker abolutely unique in sound and melody.
