Solemnity

Made from samples provided by Marcus Fischer for Disquiet Junto 0600. This is my first time participating in Disquiet Junto.

I processed the samples in a few different ways. Some I just looped small parts from, tuned, and made them playable. I made a generative patch in Bitwig's note grid for one of them, and recorded a few minutes of it. I ran one sample through the Mutable Instruments Beads. Another one was played with a random LFO controlling the transport of the Bitwig sampler. For percussion I used the PSU_stairs recording processed in different ways; a booming bass drum created by pinging the Joranalogue Filter-8, a snare-like sound created by doubling it with the tree monster effect in Bitwig, and finally, I cut the entire recording to pieces and rearranged it.

I made it difficult for myself and selected 6 unrelated eurorack improvs. And to make it even harder, the dice showed 4-3-4-2-4-2, which meant I had to use all of them a lot. I think the result is a hot mess, but at least it resembles music. And that is good enough for me.

[disquiet0617] I think my eurorack is haunted

A collaboration with https://soundcloud.com/d-r-m-r, who makes the plugins at https://wasted.audio/software. We used these plugins a lot in this track, as well as SurgeXT.

For the November 2023 Sim Selections.

Wasted Transmitter - Stab Me Tender

A collaboration with @fennifith for the Fedivision song contest (https://fedivision.party/). We started off making a few rough projects to brainstorm, and ended up picking one to pass back and forth every week or so – where one of us would make a few changes in each iteration.

We got 12 votes, which was about twice what I had expected.

Fennifith Media Transmitter - Mauver than a Joopleberry

It's Disquiet Junto number 666, and it seems Satan is our pal.

Satan is our pal [disquiet0666]

When you're angry because someone is wrong on the Internet, rather than leaving an angry comment, take a walk in the forest. It makes you feel better, and it makes you a better person.
