Enjoying this quite a bit; I think I will be able to nap on this cruiser after all...

These are tracks in which I participated in Disquiet Junto. It's amazing and you should do it too! Find out more here: https://disquiet.com/2013/04/25/disquiet-junto-faq/

Disquiet Junto Projects

I got lucky with this one, as I had just completed a similar idea in a previous patch, so I got to use some of the elements from that patch in this one. I'm hoping to release the first one in a series of "Sleep-Aid" tracks later this year.

This was a generative patch, so I hooked it up, hit record and went to go get drinks with some friends. I ended up recording about three hours, but I figured I should trim it down a bit. But when I came back everything was acting as it did before. I think I might want to try setting up a patch before going to sleep sometime.

I felt like the soft beeping sound and the ships engine sounds turned out pretty good, I tried to put the sound of semi-random occasionally passing ships. It turned out ok, but I definitely want to revisit this concept once I have some more control modules and a stereo mixer. I think there's a lot more I can do with this idea.

This was all done with the fantastic new Gamechanger Audio Motor Synth. https://www.gamechangeraudio.com/motor-synth/ I started with just one voice, and gradually added the second voice, messed with some modulation settings, cross modulation, filter resonance and pitch modulation, then finally started detuning the voices. This thing excels at long complex tones. I highly recommend looking into it.

I ended up doing a bit more of a scattered gradient than a straight one. I love playing with uneven clock sources. This patch was mainly made using the Olegtron 4060E.(https://www.perfectcircuit.com/olegtron-4060e.html) which is a cool little device where you can plug electronic components directly into the module, basically live circuit bending. I used this as both a sound source and an irregular clock, timing the Synthstrom Deluge. The "Gradient" was first slowing down the speed of the Olegtron, which in turn slowed the Deluge, Then bringing a new "Gradient" up by increasing the number of drum sounds on the Deluge. The result was not straightforward, but I ended up with some super interesting sounds.

The title comes from a time years ago during an easter celebration, where one of my friends kids uttered the phrase "That Hits Me Right in the Deeps." That phrase has stuck with me.

I'm posting this over a week late, so I don't remember how exactly I did this patch. I do remember it involved trying to slow down the very unpredictable Trogotronic m/679 "Gran Fury", which lended to some interesting results. It also sounds like I used the Basimlas Iteritas Alter and Polaris filter quite a bit too.

While the term "Corpsicles" has been coined by many, I remember it mostly from the end of "Shards of Honor" by Lois McMaster-Bujold. There's a very moving scene where a cleanup crew after a space battle is searching for dead bodies in the wreckage. Highly recommend all of her "Vorkosigan Saga" novels.

This was built on top of:
https://soundcloud.com/analoc/0121-whatever-comes

This proved quite challenging for me for two reasons. Firstly I was struggling to imagine what I could add, and that I didn't want to make the result with my additions worse than the original. In the end I did a one take improvised piano part, then added a relatively subtley rhythmic beeping in the background. I think I managed to achieve my goal of not making it worse than it was before my additions. You can download a version with the two parts hard panned left and right here:

Placebo Effect B 2/3 (disquiet0473)

Some guitar melody added to ikjoyce's synth track: https://soundcloud.com/ikjoyce/disquiet0472-jamtimebacking

I chose to play in F harmonic minor instead of natural minor. The sharp 7th sounds a little off sometimes but I like it.

Ike (Junto Trio-Ian, Peter and Bick)disquiet0474

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.

Police Action (disquiet0474)

For this one I took this track https://soundcloud.com/user-859240368/dronedrumdrub-disquiet0473?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0473 by https://soundcloud.com/melondruie and https://soundcloud.com/user-859240368. And ended up with this chill atmospheric drum thang.

The name comes from this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYbVpAwGGGs. It still makes me laugh every single time. Also the piece ended up sounding like smooth dad jazz.
