Disquiet Junto Project 0510: Cold Turkey
The Assignment: Record one last track with a piece of music equipment before passing it on.

Thanks to Adam Boyd for having come up with the idea for this project.

Step 1: Choose a piece of music equipment you’ve been intending to dispose of, to sell or perhaps even throw out.

Step 2: Record one last piece of music with that piece of equipment.

Step 3: Get rid of the piece of equipment. (Clearly you don’t have to. Recording with a piece of equipment you are simply thinking of getting rid of is also totally kosher.

Disquiet Junto Project 0510: Cold Turkey

Disquiet Junto

Disquiet Junto Project 0510: Cold Turkey

The only piece of gear I've recently considered getting rid of is.... an old fridge. I think I can claim this old fridge as a bit of kit as I've utilised the noises it makes multiple times as a sound source to make music. The fridges compressor/motor made a series of nice drones as it gradually failed. 

I used the sound it was making last year as the starting point for disquiet 0438 (https://soundcloud.com/klaatuberada/apob-surface-disquiet0438?si=93b9e67d779545409547dd6b053ff4d4). 

It got steadily worse over the last 12 months, I recorded the sound it was making last week, before the new fridge arrived and old faithful was finally sent off for recycling. The recording was manipulated using EQ's and a "melody" was played using an Eventide Harmoniser. This was layered with a synth part for emphasis. I made rhythm and bass parts, and layered some other pitch manipulated samples to flesh things out. The fridge sound is used for the lead bit in the chorus.

The track is structured 2 bars verse, 2 bars chours - 3 bars verse, 3 bars chours - 4 bars verse, 4 bars chours. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th harmonics were quite strong in the orignal sound, so I used that as an arbitrary basis for the structure of the track. I'm planing on working this a little more and I've tried to leave room for a vocal part.

Disquiet Junto Project 0510: Cold Turkey. The Assignment: Record one last track with a piece of music equipment before passing it on.

The makenoise Phonogene has to go. It's a rack module I use very seldom, and when I started this track, it even had the sample from a former disquiet on it. Because I instantly fell in love with the loop (again), I based this track on it. Most other tunes are from different patches with the same Phonogene recording, just split and LFOed. With the exception of one track of a small battery-driven Theremin (which I since years want to sell, but it’s just too handy …) (… and the phonogene … I don’t know, it has something … )

Honey Smoked Turkey (disquiet0510)

A sequence of enhanced multiple-channel recordings created with the aid of an elderly laptop which may well be retired in the not too distant future, but not yet. On the other hand, the sounds were made with various pieces of junk destined for the recycling bin.
