Cold front

For this one I took this track https://soundcloud.com/user-859240368/dronedrumdrub-disquiet0473?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0473 by https://soundcloud.com/melondruie and https://soundcloud.com/user-859240368. And ended up with this chill atmospheric drum thang.

The name comes from this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYbVpAwGGGs. It still makes me laugh every single time. Also the piece ended up sounding like smooth dad jazz.

Part 3 of the Disquiet asynchronous trio collaboration. The glitchy percussion was created by @jasonW22, the tonal parts were created by @Yasha, and I added the bass parts (Eurorack synth and electric bass)to round out the trio!

Using an envelope follower following the earlier two tracks, I separately recorded, on my modular, a sine wave and a distorted square wave. These were then further manipulated in Ableton. In addition, an instance of Audio Damage's, Phosphor 3 was added playing a MIDI extraction of the square wave's output.

Embedded Extra (disquiet0474)

This is a submission for the Disquiet Junto 0474: Police Action

I built this track from the excellent collaboration of @daniel-diaz and @forcedamage from Junto 0473. Respect.

Fifths Damage (https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz/fifths-damage-21012021-disquiet0473) had a very strong western feel, and also a feeling of being balanced between sentiment and action. We are each trapped in a dynamic equilibrium that gets us through the day, but the ground is shifting and the system is out of balance. The Ostrich is one of the last remaining flightless birds; surely that is not our fate? Make a plan.

I added a rhythm track to what I received, starting with the output form the Logic Drummer in hip-hop mode and then editing the results until they locked to the groove that was there, choosing a nice acoustic kit emulation, and running the track through a Fatso EL7X. Other tools used included a coles 4038, an iphone, Phil Moore's excellent Retro PowerStrip, an A&H board, Valhalla plugins, and Ozone for a quick and dirty mastering pass.

The lyrics came from the feeling above, and from fighting off stockholm syndrome from all the decades since Reagan and Thatcher.

The samples are from the 'crying indian' public service announcement of the last century, and the extinction rebellion of this century.

Disquiet Junto Project 0474 – Complete a trio by adding a track to an existing duet by two other musicians.

How do I start? Singing is always dangerous, if you are not a singer… No… okay, this way: Some children can only be loved by their parents… one must stand by one's misdeeds … my microphone was broken … the true beauty of music is that it connects us, yes, this is it! 

I startet with the playlist https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0473 and went to "around the middle of it" and started listening until I found something I liked: https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0473 by https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz (guitar) and https://soundcloud.com/ray_cobley (synth). The strange mixture felt right and asked for some voice.

So I improvised with the text given by the titles (and some extra text). I did two takes. I added as much plugins as possible to hide the fact that I can't sing. As you can hear: Neither can I sing, nor am I able to hide it with production gimmicks.

Anyway, after slicing my vocals I somehow liked it. Yes, you will have to listen to it 20 times, drinking some high octane booze, but then you will discover the hidden beauty of this track. Thanks, guys, I really had a lot of fun with this!

Diaz/Cobley/Krakenkraft: Would Somebody Please Do Something? [disquiet0474]

Disquiet Junto Project 0474 – Complete a trio by adding a track to an existing duet by two other musicians.

Searching for a second trio to complete, I found https://soundcloud.com/melondruie/padded-room-disquiet0473 by https://soundcloud.com/melondruie, based on https://soundcloud.com/user-859240368/paddisquiet0472 by https://soundcloud.com/user-859240368. The dreamy character catched me instantly.

I added strings & flutes, padified thru reverbs, plus some field recordings, and a subtle bass. I think I handled it with care, you could even ask where my contribution is. Thanks, fellows, for your music!
