Alternate Route - I often create patterns using 0-ctrl to sequence eurorack. In this instance, I am playing the 0-ctrl live.

Microvolt 3900 is the bass, 258T through Delay no More is the lead, all controlled by the 0-Ctrl

Alternate Route - disquiet0614

Started from an attempt to have 2 sequences of different lengths, clocked at different rates for the bass and melody. They would be out of synch, but (hopefully) would complement each other, and evoleve in interesting ways. I wrote the sequences independently, and it did not work at all. It sounded like I took parts of 2 differnt songs, put them on top of each other, and called it a day.

I tried this again today. The bass line is sequenced in the 0-ctrl, the melody in the 245t with a random offset from the 266t. Both parts are fed through a quantizer into pitch of the oscillators. Didn't turn out great, but it wasn't as bad as last time.

Thanks to Junto member XHG (aka Alex) for having proposed this week’s project.

Introspective Failure - disquiet0615

Without context, I asked my partner for a word that means "quiet", and they responded with "shy", which I thought could be interesting for this project. My second word was "peaceful", because I thought I could get some contrast between the 2.

There are 2 voices in this patch: one a basic melody, the other a feedback patch with noise going into a resonant filter, then into a delay, then back into the resonant filter. The feedback and noise makes this voice chaotic, but dialing down the feedback and cranking up the resonance makes the voice heard (shy). The transition from noise / chaos to two simple voices marks the movement towards peacefulness.

Shy / Peaceful - disquiet0616

The cicada sounds in the background were a synth voice (258T with a function from 281T in the inverted FM in, into the 292T, with panning controlled by the 266T) overdubbed using a looper pedal. From there I added a noisey, distorted feedback patch.

Screams and Cicadas - disquiet0617

The New York Times had an article from Nov 5 1973 (Going Out Guide) which had a handful of events around the city, including a chrysanthemum display, an investing seminar, and a couple of musical performances.

I used the "Ava" IOS voice to text voice into the Particle pedal on LFO mode. This was multed into a delay, which panned around slowly. On top of this I put a very simple synth patch, and I messed with the knobs on the pedal and the timbre on the VCO to add variety.

Going Out - disquiet0618

I created the bass drum sound using my microvolt, the hi hat from noise going into the WMD Geiger Counter into the 292t, the snare from noise into the 292t, and some bleeps / bloops from a resonant filter.

I faded the elements in over a short period of time. From there, I evolved it further - dialed up the distortion from the Geiger Counter on the hi hat, modulated the envelope on the snare, and on the bleeps and bloops I crossfaded in an oscillator, heavily fm'd which interacted nicely with the resonance. From there, I fed it into the delay no more, which added some distortion and chaos to the mix.

After that, faded everything out but the delay'd signal until it died out.
