Magic Number (1 of 3) - disquiet0525

Disquiet Junto Project 0525: Magic Number (1 of 3)
The Assignment: Record the first third of a trio.

Step 1: This week’s Junto project is the first in a sequence intended to invite, encourage, and reward collaboration. You will be recording something with the understanding that it will remain unfinished for the time being. Your part will be done, but more will happen. Read on.

Step 2: The plan is for you to record a short and original piece of music, on any instrumentation of your choice. Conceive it as something that leaves room for something else — other instruments, other people — to join in.

Step 3: Record a short piece of music, roughly two to three minutes in length, as described in Step 2. When done, if possible, pan the audio so that your piece is solely in the left side of the stereo spectrum.

Step 4: Also, and this is important, be sure, when done, to make your track downloadable, because it will be used by someone else in the next Disquiet Junto project.

Disquiet Junto Project 0525: Magic Number (1 of 3)
The Assignment: Record the first third of a trio.

The track is build around a sequence in some permutations and some probability gimmicks, which I was currently working on for myself. It’s 9/8 in a plain vanilla Cminor scale and it’s 80 bars (plus some outro bars) at constant 90bpm. There is no chord progression. 4 Minutes, because I really like it even yet. I made spare use of fx which could made problems for later musicians. And I did not pan it, because everyone here is able do this by themselves and maybe the next one prefers to use it unpanned.

"Nine-Eight", because using some weird nine-eighths beat was my personal starting point (after reading something about Claude Debussy) for this and the topic is "Magic Number". I'm looking forward if someone is able to go on with this track!

Background: We do this trio projects once or twice a year. This marks the third time we’ve done it during the ongoing pandemic. You can read a bit about the relationship between the pandemic, the Junto, and this trio project in this post from just over a year ago:

I was listening through some recent field recordings and thought this recording of me hurrying down ten flights in a concrete stairwell of an older apartment building in San Francisco might serve as a sort of free rhythm track for the next pass or two. I felt it could use some emphasis of the resonance on the landings, which I added with EQ and a subtle delay. There's also a short noise loop at one point. This was a fun disquiet when I did it two years ago!

This week's junto is to record th efirst part of a trio - which others can add to over the next two weeks.  

I love these ones :-)  The challenge is always in leaving space - I'm not very good at that generally!

For my part, I created a 15-note long sequence, that has it's start point changed every now and again to shorten it, and also has triggers that are changed occasionally, and random notes added in varying amounts at different times, to add interest and movement. This sequence is played on Rings with a plucked guitar-like tone, that has reverb and echoes added for more movement.
