Beachcombing In The Existential Voice (disquiet0708)

Taking inspiration from this week's Disquiet Junto project, I created this ambient track using recordings of my own voice.
I sang some sustained notes, recorded them, and used granular and spectral synthesis, as well as applying many different effects, to create the soundscape and the more vocal-like sounds. Everything is really based on my voice.

La Voix du Rêve (Disquiet0708)

Layering two samples of vocal "hums" and "aahs", plus a sinewave synth and percussion. It turned out more choir-like and dramatic than expected,

Vocal chords [disquiet0708]

Disquiet Junto Project 0708: Vocal Chords
The Assignment: Do something with layers of the sound of your voice.

Step 1: Create simple chords by layering the sound of your voice.

Step 2: Do something with those chords.

Tutte le parti non propriamente strumentali sono create usando la voce (droni, fasce etc...)
Non avendo un timbro di voce decente  (estremamente nasale), nelle parti in cui la voce risulta più nitida, ho cercato in qualche modo di mascherarla/trattarla con FX vari.

All the non-strictly instrumental parts are created using the voice (drones, pads, etc.).

Given my rather nasal tone, which lacks a pleasing timbre, I treated the more exposed vocal parts with various effects to blur, shape, or disguise their raw character.

Each Thursday in the Disquiet Junto music community, a new compositional challenge is set before the group’s members, who then have five days to record and upload a track in response to the project instructions.

Autonomía [disquiet0708]

This week's prompt was, "Do something with layers of the sound of your voice."

I wrote a quick poem, recorded four instances of myself reading the poem, then time stretched it significantly in Reaper. I thought the result would stretch out the vowels and create harmony, but really it just created an (interesting but vowel-less) wash.

Still, time was of the essence, so I pressed forward. I used SPEAR to analyze the pitches in the wash, and recorded them as a sequence of very atonal chords.

Then, I added a loose piano melody, trying to follow the outline of the weird chords. I took a tip from Music for Airports and recorded the piano at double speed and then slowed it down.

Then, I mixed it! I left the original Reaper stretched sounds in the left channel and the chords in the right channel. I added a little simulated tape pitch-drift to the piano.

Not quit what I had in mind, but a good exercise (especially in using SPEAR)!

Vokal Shops (disquiet0708)

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.
