Pocket Devices

First little tune I made upon receiving my PO-28 Robot Pocket Operator. 
Hear the story about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnboiTxG6U4

PO-28: Big Problem

PO-28: "Big Problem"

You can make some really weird sounds with the Bastl Kastl 1.5. As evidenced by this strange little tune I generated, accompanied by a PO-28. (The original video this man posted is actually quite fun and lovely and not creepy at all. Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Olnm66Uxy8U )

Kastl 1.5/PO-33: "Deranged Calliope"

My ability to donate blood is very meaningful for me. (I'll share the full story another day.) One of the many things I've enjoy about giving blood is that the Apheresis machines make the COOLEST sounds!! I've always wanted to sample and use these sounds for music and so I figured it was a great first test run for the PO-33. This is by no means the last time I will make music with apheresis samples, but this is a decent start! I also sampled my Bayan and the Kastl 1.5 for some additional instrumentation.

PO-33/Kastl 1.5: "Apheresis"

I babysat some young adventurers currently interested in the field of robotics. With their help, and some samples from the Kastl 1.5. I made a soundscape to represent their endeavor.

PO-33/Kastl 1.5: "Ellisian Robotic Technologies"

I did this Junto while on Catalina Island for a wedding weekend, so all I had was my PO-33 and my Bastl Kastl. I recorded some tones with my Kastl and layered three melodic lines into the PO-33. I also added some percussive elements I recorded on the island. Simple but effective.

Catalina Counterpoint [disquiet0352]

an asynchronous trio:

The first part was made by Torsten Goerke, as ⅓ of a trio without knowing who might add on to it...
The next week, it was selected by Rusty Hurley (Northern Flight), adding the pedal steel guitar and a subtle kick drum.
This week, I picked that, and added the bass.

Subdermal Layers II (disquiet0474)- With Krakenkraft & Ray Cobley

I took this awesome track https://soundcloud.com/stefan_strasser/mostly-stereo-feat-half-unusual-disquiet0473?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0473 by https://soundcloud.com/half-unusual and https://soundcloud.com/stefan_strasser. I added some eurorack modified trumpet, which allowed me to bring out my inner Miles Davis, kinda Bitches Brew style. Had a ton of fun with this one.

The name comes from a James Acaster joke, commenting on how weird it is that so many cartoon teeth have teeth. This kind of brain train can reminds me of that style of music. It probably makes the most sense when you're on drugs, or wish you were.

Disquiet Junto Project 0474 – Complete a trio by adding a track to an existing duet by two other musicians.

How do I start? Singing is always dangerous, if you are not a singer… No… okay, this way: Some children can only be loved by their parents… one must stand by one's misdeeds … my microphone was broken … the true beauty of music is that it connects us, yes, this is it! 

I startet with the playlist https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0473 and went to "around the middle of it" and started listening until I found something I liked: https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0473 by https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz (guitar) and https://soundcloud.com/ray_cobley (synth). The strange mixture felt right and asked for some voice.

So I improvised with the text given by the titles (and some extra text). I did two takes. I added as much plugins as possible to hide the fact that I can't sing. As you can hear: Neither can I sing, nor am I able to hide it with production gimmicks.

Anyway, after slicing my vocals I somehow liked it. Yes, you will have to listen to it 20 times, drinking some high octane booze, but then you will discover the hidden beauty of this track. Thanks, guys, I really had a lot of fun with this!
