Nice sizzle lead into the urgent rhythm :-)

5Four is a structured Improvisation for drum kit and the AAIM
performance system. Given a minimal score, the drummer is asked to improvise within the framework of the piece. The computer performer determines the progression of the piece, and also improvises using the AAIM performance system and a collection of samples consisting of both live and prerecorded sounds from the drummers kit.

Discretizing the Continuous (disquiet0267)

Guest host Teresa Morrow sits down with documentary film maker Carlo Guillermo Proto and location recordist Pablo Villegas about their new, award winning film "Resurrecting Hassan".  They discuss the film's unique soundtrack and their battle to get the film to sound the best it possibly could.  They talk the about everything from the first day of shooting all the way up to the final mix.

057 - Carlo Guillermo Proto & Pablo Villegas

In this episode we talk with Steve Bissinger about his career, how he ended up at Skywalker Ranch, and the new film In Pursuit of Silence. The film is unlike anything you have ever seen and presented a lot of unique sound challenges.  As Sound Supervisor on the project, Steve walks us through how this film is different than his main gig on the Netflix series House of Cards and the upcoming MindHunter series.

Lullaby for Anara

Disquiet Junto Project 0300: 3 chords x 100 seconds. 
Three 100 second long tracks blended together, So I’m offering to you here 300 seconds worth in just 100 seconds, more value for your time!
I played and hybrid triad,  Esus2 (E-B-F#). I wanted to hold the notes for as long as it takes, not easy with most acoustic instruments.
My choice was Electric Guitar (Stratocaster) through a Line6 pedal board to benefit from the infinite decay of that “particle” reverb I’ve been using a lot to produce reverb-drone.
Second instrument a bowed upright bass (00:06 mark, overdubbed thrice to get the three note chord sustaining for 100 sec)
Third performer: another infinite sustain acoustic instrument I own, my Indian harmonium (starts at 00:22 mark), again, overdubbed thrice to use its three different registers: lows, highs, and tremolo (an amazing mechanical, fully acoustic creepy tremolo harmoniums have, very upfront around 00:48). 100 seconds of that edited on the mix.
When the guitar chord almost vanished and all you hear is the remains of the particle reverb (00:58)  I overdubbed an arpeggiated take of the 3 note chord as an additional method to get the chord sounding for 100 seconds.
I also play a bonus bowed upright simple melody (at 00:28) to provide some variation to the plain triad. Everything was performed and mixed today at home.
No synths, no samples.

300 Suspended Seconds Worth (disquiet0300)

Here I celebrate growing up with the electric guitar--the Who, Live at Leeds; Hendrix at Monterey Pop; Sonic Youth, many live shows; Glenn Branca and Jerry Garcia and John Cipollina, the ringing and reverberating of an electric guitar turned up high. I chose as my chord the chord represented by the open strings of an electric guitar, all strings detuned by 1 half step except for the low E (detuned 3 half-steps). I played this on an odd Tokai guitar (shown here)--made out of aluminum and fitted with an internal Smoky amp. I ran this out to a splitter that ran to two other Smoky amps, close-miked. I smacked the chord hard and let it ring and feedback, hitting it again at odd intervals, and recorded the resulting three tracks.

I then picked out the notes to the same chord on the piano while listening to the tracks on headphones. 

last, I put the recorded guitar track on my phone, put my phone at the bottom of a didjeridoo, and recorded the sound coming out the other end. 

I copied the main guitar track and dropped that copy by an octave, then slightly panned the two amp tracks hard left and right, detuning them a bit. Lastly I delayed two of the three guitar tracks a bit to thicken things up.

just to make the track punch me in the face :) I dropped on a heavy kick drum.

not much other processing besides some reverb and a bit of compression and eq here and there. 

Looking forward to hearing y'alls compositions!

Generative Peace (disquiet 0300)

Three instruments, three layers ... providence ...

halF 100S [disquiet0300]

Created for the Disquiet Junto Project 0300: The 300th Project
@disquiet

The project: 3 chords x 100 seconds

After reading the project description, I keyed in on the idea of creating sounds that would sustain for the entire 100 seconds, rather than replaying or retriggering an instrument periodically. I realized that the trick was that while I had plenty of ways to make sounds that would sustain for the duration... they were single tones, and I couldn't generate a chord. Conversely, I had plenty of instruments that would play lovely triads... but they would trail out long before the 100 seconds (unless I decided to use a synth patch that I could tweak). So I set about looking first for sound sources that would sustain or resonate, and then would try to figure out how to process those sounds into chords later on. After banging on a lot of diningware, some toys, and random resonant surfaces, I settled on:

1. My voice singing a single note, then pitch and frozen-delay processed through a Red Panda Particle granular delay pedal.

2. The hum of the touch panel keyboard on my Volca Beats, recorded through an electromagnetic pickup, and pitch processed through an Old Blood Noise Dark Star 'orchestral' delay pedal.

3. An organ-ish patch on my Volca FM, processed through an Earthquaker Avalanche Run reverse delay and reverb.

I used B/D/A as my chord structure - based on the pitch from the EM pickup on the Volca Beats, and complimentary harmonies on the Dark Star. The processed vocal and the noise/hum patch created from the EM pickup both wound up being generative/infinite sustain sounds. The FM organ is the only one where I fudged my idea a little - creating most of the sustain by adjusting the envelope decay time in the synth.

A little filtering, fading, and slight delay (iZotope DDLY) and reverb (Valhalla Shimmer) were added to sweeten the mix. 

Congrats to Marc on #300! Thank you for stirring the creative pot that gets our ideas simmering. Here's to 300 more - Cheers!

100 Grains in the Infinite Hum [ disquiet0300 - the300thproject ]

Watch out... Gets abrasive over time.

A networked rendition of Alvin Lucier's "I am sitting in a room" that I recorded partly for fun and partly to demonstrate network glitches for the MUSI 551 class I taught in January 2018.
