WHAT  WHERE

This is a recent rework of a previously shared track, 
https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz/silencio-first-demo-version

I reduced and simplified the arrangement and instrumentation, and I feel that this one's the good version for proper release (but I might be wrong), so it is my first 2023 single.

Awkward Tuesday: Replaced Bridesmaid

My contribution to Disquiet Junto Project 0600. The opportunity to participate in this is special to me as I participated on Project 0004 which also featured wonderful samples from Marcus Fischer. I created a piece that is still a personal favorite.

Approach and process - I was extremely time constrained with only a few hours to put something together. I built it around a heavily re-worked and effected version of the file '600_PSU_stairs-mfischer'. I used Bitwig Studio, a lot of automation, and a few time stretching tricks. 

I hope Marcus provides more raw material in the future. Thank you to Marc and Marcus for putting this together.

Usually when I try to make a piece of music, I set out with a rough goal. For Disquiet 600 it was “Ska” (ridiculous and I instantly got off tracks), for this prompt it was “light summer jam”. Alas, the numbers were against me, so it became more of a mood piece.

I recycled the clarinet recordings of Disquiet 599, loaded them into iDensity and rolled a dice for each recording. I applied the numbers to granular density, length and speed. Because high numbers led to a dominant, dense, high pitched sound, I applied a stutter effect to all numbers above 4, to sort of even the odds a bit. I did a live recording by varying the volume of the six tracks a little.

The result reminds me a bit of Windy & Carl’s song “Dedications to Flea”, which includes a field recording of the musicians walking their dog (in my track, I “walk myself” by just breathing through the clarinet).

The project was inspired in part by recent correspondence with Junto participant Robert Precht. More to come in that regard.

Jamuary 10th 2024 Flight

Day 14. Two weeks done! Today I used some of my own voice, as well as some public domain recordings of people singing and radio communication between delegates discussing the Nigerian Civil War. Reversed the singing and put it into midi to make the lead in the second part of the song, first part is my own voice from some singing I didn't like that I then used as an instrument instead. I left part of the sampled singing in full at the end.
