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.
