Children

Two Arturia KORG MS-20 V, and an Arturia ARP2600 V3, processing two recordings made in the airstream of a circulation fan. The wind noise both contributes to the output sound, but also is used to trigger envelopes and, in the case of the MS-20s, follow the envelope of the recordings. The ARP2600 is responsible for the Morse code-like sounds.

This is a mix of a track I created for ixi Music's January Patreon challenge. The challenge was to use a specific chord, comprising of a perfect fifth plus a minor third. So, if C was the root, the chord would be C, G, and B♭. Another part of the challenge was to not write in the key of C. I chose D as the root, and based the entire tune around the three notes (across several octaves).

I replaced the instrumental parts of a track I completed for ixi Music's Patreon Challenge, in January (https://soundcloud.com/wasabicube/andiamo?si=c1d963b8e5ba48eab5ccaf512118e147&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing), with samples of my voice saying "Disquiet Junto, number six hundred and thirty-three". The only original track is a field recording of the voice of ice skaters, skating in Union Square, San Francisco, at Christmas, many years ago. The samplers I used were TAL Sampler and Ableton's Simpler. I also used Klevgränd's Tomofon, with an instrument based on the same sample, for the "strings".

I bookended Todd (@toaster-1) Elliott's shorter rail crossing recording with percussion and drums, then added a chord progression. (https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/train-source-1?si=3a06785c071440e99ae7fedfddd856a9&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing)

A "techno" track with all sounds coming from the sound of bubbles in an open can of lemonade.

Dragons take their revenge after being hunted to near extinction! This driving piece by Dión Morales is written with a focus on developing the bow arm and rhythmic skills. Each section plays across all four strings and there is a solo section that can be played by any instrument in the ensemble, even the BASS!

Dragon's Revenge (Dión Morales, String Orchestra, Grade 2)

Experimenting with Harmony-Bloom. First track halved in speed, then added to again with Harmony-Bloom and some heavily processed percussion.
