1 - CAMBIO D PERSPECTIVA

Collaboration with Thomas Park: A dronescape based on classical creative common recordings in C major.  Sections of different recordings were stretched and recombined including the Generative Soundscape Radio. This is the first of twelve generations as we will continue to walk the circle of fifths.

The following samples were used (sorry for the lack of diversity, we are working on it!): 
Johann Sebastian Bach, Toccata, Adagio, Fugue, transcription by Thomas Knox, played by the U.S. Marine Band, via wikimedia commons.

Disquiet Junto Project 0554: Cage Chord
The Assignment: Riff on a chord by John Cage.

I split up the chord into a fistful of Ableton Live tracks, all with (not too) different Kontakt instruments and placed them in space by pan and reverb. Every note had a chance of being played of 50% per 90bpm bar. Some noise was added because I felt it being too clean, accepting that this and too much movement would maybe not correspond with the spirit of Cage's piece. An export was done and the mix happened in Reaper, where a Valhalla Delay with 4 bars lenght on the master track repeated whatever is played to smear the notes into each other. The result was the 8 minute track https://soundcloud.com/winterer/chord-cage. I took a 3 minute part out of this and made it into a loop by adding the beginning to the end to comply with the rules. The Loop version was intended to be a byproduct; after listening to the looped version looping for half an hour while creating the cover I'm not so sure whether I really prefer the long Chord Cage, which works standalone with no context, over the Chord Cage Loop, which can be played virtually endless.

For my first participation to the Disquiet Junto Project, I chose the theme of the lullaby because it' s a genre that I am passionate about and that I have already worked on in the past.
The melody I used as a guideline comes from a very old Welsh lullaby called Peis Dinogat (Dinogad's Smock). It appears in a 13th century manuscript but was probably composed some century earlier. The lyrics, which I have deliberately left out in order to turn it into an instrumental piece, tell of a father's exploits on the hunt, perhaps in the mode of lament. Among the list of animals, there is mention of a place, Derwennydd Falls, whose precise location is open to speculation.
To fit the lullaby genre, I have kept the melody in all its beauty and simplicity by repeating it from beginning to end. The use of panning is also there to suggest the pendulum movement.
Enjoy your listening!

Disquiet Junto Project 0572: Rhythm Kit
The Assignment: Make a beat that someone else will add to.

Note: This project is the first of a two-parter. You don’t need to participate in both, and you can easily participate in the second one (next week) even if you don’t participate in the first one.

Instruction: Record a beat with the intension that someone other than yourself will add something to it at a later date. It’s preferable that you record something that lasts between one and three minutes, but it’s also fine to record something shorter with the intention that someone will loop it — or something longer, for that matter.

---

Track notes:

I always like when one of the more beat-oriented prompts comes up because it gets me to think about rhythm tools, which I'm fairly inconsistent with. 

I thought I would would use my modular synth to generate the beat starting with a trio of samplers triggered by dividing and multiplying clock dividers. The resulting three samples are then routed through some signal manipulation: a wasp filter, stereo delay and Make Noise Morphagene. I also had some fun with a sample and hold which controls the pitch CV of one of the samples.

Rainy Days

During the early 1990s I studied Mathematics and Computer Science. The world wide web was still largely text-based and mostly empty. Today things are obviously different, though I still thoroughly enjoy art, design, cinema and music in all its forms. I have traveled all over the world for nearly two decades, visiting just over 140 countries. Japan is my favorite. All of this I attempt to incorporate into my music and art.
