CIAO GIULIA....SONO ALESSANDRO.....HOASCOLTATO LE TUE OPERE......AMAZING.....SUPER ....LIVELLO ALTISSIMO...GRAZIE

I love how there is so much happening but without sacrificing a sense of spaciousness. Beautiful!

Très belles textures, presque acousmatique et minimaliste, chaque son est important

Combining modular synthesis, microtonal themes and shifting rhythms.

Pantoclast - Monolite (Psychotic Remix + Lyrics By R.S.Stropharia) 24.02.2022

ARANTZAZU

This is an ambient piece, featuring delay and lots of reverb. It was probably influenced by a late-night B movie (whose name I am unable to recall) which featured people running through a booby-trapped forest at night (hence the irregular percussion).

This mix (with different mastering) features on Ambient Online Compilation: Volume 20, which contains over 5 hours of excellent ambient music, and is available from BandCamp at a price of your choosing, which represents excellent value in these days of hyper-inflation.

Edit:20221030 - I remixed it, dropping the level of the theremin-like synth by 2dB and mastered using the earlier project settings. The remix was done in a new version of MuLab.

Record something to help someone fall asleep


This track I created today is supposed to help somebody fall asleep *and* have nightmares. That's licit right?

I had this piano track recorded this summer using a guitar pick on my upright piano, along with some regularly played notes and chords. Very simple , very spacious and lovely natural sound.
Just added some synth noises and Valhalla Supermassive. Easy and rewarding Thursday afternoon.
Cheers

Yes, You Are Asleep (disquiet0562)

Disquiet 0581 - this weeks challenge was to download a rhythmic field recording and make it part of a track or incorporate it somehow.

Thanks to Scott Fletcher for having provided the original material. It is used thanks to a Creative Commons license: Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0). Original track at: https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/helsinki-downspout/

I loaded the field recording into Ableton and put it into a drum rack. I then took all the bits between the beats (hiss and non rhythmic parts) and started to mess about with these, adding filters and effects and also playing them as drum hits - that is how the track opens. 
I them loaded all these hiss parts into a synth and stretched and played them as keys, creating the additional synth sounds with effects changing the sounds somewhat.  After jamming about for 30 / 40 minutes I hit reccord and laid down a fairly basic arrangement. 
I tweaked this slightly, adding a little more effects until I had a nice short experimental track i'm pretty happy with!

More or less the whole track was made with the source sounds but it's debatable if the original sound is recognisable?  However I took the prompot to "to sample and rework the source material" as a guide! 

Disquiet Junto Project 0581: Helsinki Downspout

The Assignment: Use a rhythmic field recording as the foundation for a new track.

Step 1: This is a shared sample project, one in which all the participants will utilize the same provided recording, about a minute and a half long, as the rhythmic element for their own music. Access the track, originally recorded by Scott Fletcher and used with his permission, here:

https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/helsinki-downspout

Step 2: Listen to the provided track several times. Think about ways to map its content, perhaps making notations about when certain unique, momentary aspects surface.

Step 3: Record an original piece of music for which the provided music is the underlying rhythm. You might take this quite literally, using the source as it is, resulting in a track that is precisely 1:35 long. Alternately, you might elect to sample and rework the source material. If you go the latter route, make certain that the original sound is, at least at some point in the finished track, recognizable.

Step 4: Because this is a Creative Commons resource, be sure to identify Scott Fletcher as the original recorder of the source material, and include a link to the source track. Identify the license as: Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0).

Audio Obscura - Helsinki Downpour [disquiet0581]

I did this track in response to Disquiet Junto Project 0595: Filter Progression. Below are the steps I took.

Steps:

-record a tone using a single back-and-forth motion with bowed bass guitar
-in Reaper, stretch it to 1/10 speed retaining original frequency
-record onto 1/4" tape @ 7 1/2 ips 
-play back at half-speed (3 3/4 ips), creating a ~7-minute passage
-feed into Erica dual black VCF
-modulate cutoff & resonance by hand
-add both slewed and direct voltages from Ornament-8 into the filter
-record result, mix for small speakers, master

Disquiet Junto Project 0599: Minimal(ist) Blend

How the sounds were created might best be described as follows: 
- Recorded 5 polyrhythmic guitar tracks (in 3, 4, 5 and 7) live, over the entire duration of the track ~3.5 minutes
- Disguised them, only allowing each to come to the fore occasionally
- Added up-front metallic sounds, single hit percussion and a bassy pad
- Mixed those ingredients to allow different aspects to shine in turn.

Thanks @disquiet and @tobiasreber for this inspiring prompt!
