Three to One (disquiet0606)

Compose a piece of music with three times as much silence as sound.

Once again, I did not exactly follow the assignment. 75% is a lot of silence... but I had fun creating a piece of music in a style different from what I usually do. I will definitely consider incorporating more silence into my future work.

Disquiet Junto Project 0607: Silence Wave
The Assignment: From close to zero and back again, alter the relative amount of sound to silence in a piece of music.

There’s just one step to this project:

Compose a piece of music in which the relative amount of sound to silence starts at zero (that is, no sound), rises to approximately 40 percent (that is, 60 percent silent) and returns to zero again. Keep the pace fairly steady.

[disquiet0619] Ritm

Years ago I made this patch in VCV Rack (version 1, mind you!) to show how easy it is to make polyrhythms using Frozen Wastelands BPM LFO. Now I only had to add some kind of build-up to comply with this week's assignment from the Disquiet Junto. I chose Squinky Labs Graycode, so that any possible combination of instruments will be heard. 

There are eight instruments. A kick is heard on every first and third beat, a snare on every second and fourth, a tom between the beats and a hihat plays eighth notes. Then the fun starts: a ride plays triplets, a rimshot quintuplets and a cowbell septuplets. Finally there is a "swoosh" for which the BPM LFO was set to (well, why not?) 11:73.

Beat Accrual (disquiet0619)

This track started from a 2 drum loops that I chopped and separated into more tracks. Then I applied different settings to them such as EQ and distortion. For the arrangement, each elements is added at regular interval until the beat is complete. Later I added additional synths, all with a certain rhythmic feel to them.

Don't Give Her Your Number (disquiet0619)

Rhythmic doodle created on my iPad in Patterning 2, then modified in GarageBand. 

I started initially with a 6/4 framework but hopefully the meter is fairly unclear and confounding throughout.

Disquiet Junto Project 0619: Beat Accrual
The Assignment: Rebuild a complicated rhythm from scratch.

As is generally the case with any instructions, it’s best to read all the way through before beginning.

Step 1: Create a complicated beat (define “complicated” as you see fit). Keep track of the individual parts.

Step 2: Record a track in which the beat from Step 1 slowly accrues over time. For example, break the original beat into its constituent parts and then add one at a time, repeating the arrival of each addition for four beats (assuming you’re doing the project in 4/4). That’s just one way to accomplish this.

Also: You might adorn the beat with other elements while it’s accumulating, or after, or you might simply leave it on its own.
