Disquiet Junto Project 0525: Magic Number (1 of 3)
The Assignment: Record the first third of a trio.

The track is build around a sequence in some permutations and some probability gimmicks, which I was currently working on for myself. It’s 9/8 in a plain vanilla Cminor scale and it’s 80 bars (plus some outro bars) at constant 90bpm. There is no chord progression. 4 Minutes, because I really like it even yet. I made spare use of fx which could made problems for later musicians. And I did not pan it, because everyone here is able do this by themselves and maybe the next one prefers to use it unpanned.

"Nine-Eight", because using some weird nine-eighths beat was my personal starting point (after reading something about Claude Debussy) for this and the topic is "Magic Number". I'm looking forward if someone is able to go on with this track!

The Assignment: Record the first third of a trio.
Step 1: This week’s Junto project is the first in a sequence intended to invite, encourage, and reward collaboration. You will be recording something with the understanding that it will remain unfinished for the time being. Your part will be done, but more will happen."

"The plan is for you to record a short and original piece of music, on any instrumentation of your choice. Conceive it as something that leaves room for something else — other instruments, other people — to join in."

This track features spare drums and two keyboard loops; composed into a basic intro, four measures of drums, a two measure break of mainly a keyboard loop, then closing drums. So there's room for bass, guitar, keyboards, more percussion, sound samples, whatever fits. 130BPM.

I often start files with some drums and one instrument, thinking I am setting up the scaffolding for a future song... but have a lot of files that only get that far. This is the most I've completed in a long time, and very quickly; so it is probably a mental thing - it's easier as part of a bigger collaborative project handed to someone else.

Caveat: Everything is panned to the left per the project request. However Garageband's panning knob isn't knocking those drums out of stereo, so I'm still hearing them in the middle(?).

Magic Number 1 - disquiet0525

This is an excertp from my composition "On The Roofs And Chimneys" for #disquiet0525 - Gb min - 72 bpm - is the n.059 of my #virtrav project

"On The Roofs And Chimneys" excerpt for disquiet0525

This track was created as response to the Disquiet Junto Project 0525: The composition is meant to be the first third of a trio. Two other artists can add their parts to build the final track.

This track is called 2π since π is my favourite magic number: It determines many processes in our world, it even can be seen as the base of music!
Among others π is found in the  formula for the period of an ideal mathematical pendulum first derived by Christiaan Huygens.

@bick-brannigan-840174692 took this track as basis for the Disquiet Junto Project and created a wonderful piece of music: https://soundcloud.com/bick-brannigan-840174692/not-a-rabble-rouser-duet-with-rabmusiclab

RabMusicLab also developed a complete track on this base, again honouring π: https://soundcloud.com/rabmusiclab/2pi_square_root_l_over_g

disquiet0525 - crab drone

With Liquid Hats (110bpm) [disquiet0525]
Created in Bitwig, samples and effects – mostly a drum part for adding to. This was originally done to work against Norns based drones but I pared these right back with just a few bleeps using an Euclidian gate sequencer plug in.

I had the pleasure to jam over to melondruide’s hypnotic track

https://soundcloud.com/melondruie/cold-sun-disquiet0525

As a warm, earthy contrast to the original icy synths I added some hand percussion 
I went for my Hand pan (Hang) cause it’ sin C minor as the original track, and just added some phrases on a little Indian Talking Drum, but this time I think there’s a nice bed for a 3rd contributor.
I added some rhythmic delay here and there (talking drum and original track)

About The Sun (disquiet0526) with Melondruie

Part 2 of a 3 part Disquiet Junto collaboration.

I loved the grooving drum track created last week by creaturesOnce. I added a bass line in Ableton, in F minor and B♭ minor, letting the structure of the drum track lead the way. It's ready for someone to play a mid to high range melody or chord jam on top.
