an excellent track and accompanying write up Dave :-)

This seems like your thesis statement in this tip: "So instead of creating a bunch of drones and combining them, you are working in reverse order - combining a number of sounds/tracks and creating a drone from it."

Really clever ideas. Thank you for sharing them.

Perfect opening and like all good things...the song doesn't last long enough!

@user-407506499: Thanks very much. Just trial and error;) The description gives a fair description.

Naviar Broadcast #243 – the sound of rain – Wednesday 16th November 2022

Using a feedback delay you can add more color and variations by processing the feedback loop through an effect of choice. In this example I'm using a 5 second delay and a reverb to color the feedback loop. The first part lets you hear the dry loop and the second part with the wet feedback.

Unfortunately adding an effect to a feedback loop is not possible in any DAW. I use Bitwig and Reason for this purpose. In Reaper it should be possible too. Another option is using plugins like MXXX.

Farewell [disquiet0242]

This track uses 2 tricks. 1) FEEDBACK is at the heart of everything electronic, oscillators and filters use it for instance, feedback in any process exaggerates the effects of that process and feedback is one of my favourite tricks, it gives you MORE but always suprises you. This is part of a piece i am working on using four “oscillators” which are feedback loops through delays. By cross-feeding and phase-shifting the feeding you can make anything from tuned harmonic drones to noise. I expect that this shares something with David Tudor’s work but this is all in software. (Max 7) They are difficult to control though and this is edited from a long recording when i was trying to write a song about Aleppo but couldn’t find the words. 2) In addition this piece is AMBISONIC to an extent. The oscillators are tapped at 4 different points (wxyz) to create a spatial image. Ambisonics is my other tip/trick/obsession, such an easy way to deal with 3d space and all the patents have expired so all the knowledge is mostly free and available - even for VR, just google it. Here using ATK plugins in Reaper to mix and Binaurally render the 4 channel recordings made in Max7 down to stereo. listen on headphones! and, off topic #0242 makes me think - who remembers Front 242? or the 242 Pilots for that matter?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ambisonic_Software

this track is dedicated to the people of Aleppo.

Feed(Aleppo)[disquiet0242]

The stress off modern life can be a bitch so I often find a little bit of sonic mayhem is just the balm I need. First I must stress this point -that you MUST delete all prior tracks as you move along your path of destruction, do not hold onto anything no matter how much you like something that happened. You must commit fully to come out the other side. I do this mostly with drum tracks as they often have the hardest attack and shortest decays and kicks just rock. I put 2 drum loops in. The first one stays the same the 2nd I warp to 2/3 time and do some more warping to get it out of time. I then crossfade those tracks to a new track. This will still have a bit of rhythm to it and that will have to go. Take that track copy it another track and start a a different point. The crossfader will now start clipping those sounds,record that to a new track. Now record that track and using the mouse to change the tempo using big and little changes. That new track now must be unwarped in ableton so that the tempo changes stay. Now you can use the new track and do some transposing. Because it is not warped the transposing also changes the speed of everything. Each new track can be copied and crossfaded between using a different start point. Keep doing this process till you feel the stress leave your body. At no point do I add fx. Fx too early in the process kills the slicing effect of the crossfader. When you finally reach you last track then you copy and paste that to another track. Now add fx to it but record it with you scrolling through the presets at whatever rate feels right. Now crossfade that track with the track with no fx and record to one track. Copy that track once and add different drum master fx to each. Pan one a little left and the other right. Master the master to taste. You should not be attached to the final track. That is not the point. The point is where your head is at now.

How to Obliterate a Drum Track and Find Inner Peace (disquiet0242)

Disquiet Junto Project 0242: Share Yer Knowledge
The Assignment: Make (and annotate) a track that provides an example of a trick/skill/tip you want to share about a piece of musical software or hardware.

- In working with Ambient music and Sound Design, we are often creating drones and otherwise mangling samples. The method I wanted to show was that you don't need to just work with a single sound source (sample).
- Paul Stretch in Audacity, Ambient_v0.3, The Mangle, and on an iPad - iDensity, csGrain, and Borderlands examples of software I use for this purpose.
- I will often create a number of tracks e.g. 2 - 20 and mix them to my liking. Then I will do a mix down (hence the title - Vertical for multiple tracks and a mix down in LogicPro is a Bounce)and take the result and run it through any of the software listed above.
- The result can be a new track/sound/drone with much more character than a drone made from a single source. So instead of creating a bunch of drones and combining them, you are working in reverse order - combining a number of sounds/tracks and creating a drone from it.
- In this piece, I created four tracks: synth sequence, bass and two ambient sounds. I bounced those and then created two drone like tracks. The first was created by running the bounce through ambient_v0.3 (a more swishing sound) and the second using Paul Stretch (a more choral sound).
- The piece open with the 2nd drone and the 1st drone is brought in briefly twice with automation.
- The original four tracks can be heard by themselves at 0:37 - 0:47. Then the 1st drone is faded in - full at 1:04. Then the 2nd drone is faded in at 1:17.
- A couple of notes:
    - Most of the software mentioned will add harmonics so if your original bounce has tones in the 5Khz range, you may need to EQ the top end of some of your creations (as I did in this case), because the 15 - 20Kz range could get annoying.
    - This source ran through a I, bIII, V progression, but you can also just keep the source in a single note range, or whatever you want.
    - If there is something you don't like in the result, you can either EQ it (massage it) or go back to the original tracks and modify them to generate a different result.
    - Think big. There have been a couple times where I created a piece, and it just wasn't good enough. I took the whole mix down and ran it through something else and came out with a piece which was much better.

If I Could Store Time In A Bottle Of Syrup (naviarhaiku351)

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.

I create Ambient, Electronic, Jazz Fusion, and Blues music - sometimes melding any of those forms together. Instruments, field recordings, a rare voice, writing code, and whatever else might sound cool are used.
