MUSIC

It' s a difficult exercise to work with raw materials. But maybe the most gratifying too!
I tried to keep the 60 hz as a tonality, it's close to a "B"(http://www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-notenames.htm) and used the 5 drones to make beats and melody with gates, filters, arpeggiators (set to Bmin) and lfo's in Ableton. 
Every filter's cut off and eq's frequencies are set to multiples of 6, and the bpm is…60:)
Thanks to vladg/sound for their awesome and free limiter :

Make Icemusic Disquiet0157

Making some experiments with one sample. Used the "granulator" (by monolake in Max for Live Ableton) and "Stutter edit" . Mixed it up with an endless reverb and pan...
The Assignment: Record the sound of ice in a glass and make something of it.

Happy new year! This week’s project is as follows:

Step 1: Please record the sound of an ice cube rattling in a glass, and make something of it.

Step 2: Upload the finished track to the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud.

Background: Longtime participants in, and observers of, the Disquiet Junto series will recognize this single-sentence assignment as the very first Disquiet Junto project, the same one that launched the series on the first Thursday of 2012. Revisiting it a year and two years later, on the first Thursdays of 2013 and 2014, provided a fitting way to begin the new year. Now, at the start of the fourth year of the Disquiet Junto, it is a tradition. A weekly project series can come to overemphasize novelty, and it’s helpful to revisit old projects as much as it is to engage with new ones. Also, by its very nature, the Disquiet Junto suggests itself as a fast pace: a four-day production window, a weekly habit. It’s beneficial to step back and see things from a longer perspective.
