Glorious Rays Bringing Growth was inspired by the haiku by Jennifer Doty 

filling my shadows
glorious rays bringing growth
heavenly ascent

Jennifer Doty was born and raised in the beautiful wilds of the Ozarks in southern Missouri. Always attracted to the outdoors, she draws much inspiration for her poetry from nature, as well as human nature. Her interest in poetry and writing as a form of self-expression began in her early teens, only recently is she beginning to publicly share her work.

Glorious Rays Bringing Growth was written for Violin, Viola, Cello and String Bass.

Disquiet Junto Project 0612: Drum Vector
The Assignment: Walk the listener through variations on the same percussive instrument.

Dragged my wooden tongue drum out of the closet for this one. Recorded too many variations and had to cut a few. Basically just used different reverbs and delays to give each variation it's own space.  Also played with panning on the cross fades to make it seem like you're walking from one area to the next.  Then for a noise bed I routed everything to a new track with more reverb, resonator, effects and so on.  Automated the stereo width on that one rather randomly.

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0618: Burying the Lede

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0618 discussion thread:

Having lived and worked most of my life in the San Francisco Bay Area, I selected a descriptive New York Times article from March 1, 1970, about the colorful salt evaporation ponds located in South San Francisco Bay "Coast Salt Flats: New Ecological Battlefield". The article examines the battle between industry, developers, and conservationists. 50+ years after the article was published, some of the wetlands have been restored, but the conflict still continues.

I recorded from Chrome's Read Aloud text-to-speech reader to a Tascam DR-100MKIII. I then processed the audio four times using Calsynth Monsoon (Clouds clone) with different settings, and placed them on four tracks in Ableton Live. From there, I added reverb/delay effects, as well as a track with sliced samples of the original unprocessed audio using Ableton's Simpler. Created additional tracks using Slate+Ash Choreographs, Sugar Bytes Aparillo, Jogging House Sonic Beds Vol. 1, PaulXStretch, and AudioThing Noises.

Although I no longer live in Northern California, it was cool to create a piece that links to an area that’s part of my history. This turned out to have more of a darker vibe than I would have liked, but in the end, I enjoyed putting this together and am good with the result.

Little Iodine Crack (disquiet0622)

Disquiet Junto Project 0622: Know the Shadow
The Assignment: How do you depict a shadow in sound?

It finally occurred to me when I was playing guitar that each note on the fretboard has a sort of shadow note that you can sometimes hear if you play unplugged.  If you pluck the string on the other side of your fret hand you get a different note.  The pickup on an electric of course won't get this.  I recorded with my phone because the mic is pretty sensitive and still had to jack up the volume a bit in the DAW. Anyway, I held the same chord the entire time, AbMaj #4 7 10, and went back and forth, picking on one side of the fret hand and then the other.  On the other side you get a BMaj 6 (no 5).  The two chords together, the regular and the "shadow chord" give you a 6 note scale: Ab B C D Eb G.  Sounds like some ancient exotic lyre or something. Who knew?

Added some echo and reverb because ya know, shadows.
