I'm here for the non-modified tracks! Nice and clicky and I quite like the flautish interludes. A grand sort of clockwork.

There’s moments where it reminds me of a steel drum

An exploration of not bells ... be careful, though ... the SoundCloud algorithm doesn't consider this music, and I didn't really want to "modify your track to make it eligible" for recommendation to potentially interested listeners! 😂

I live in Glasgow where every child is taught this verse in school:

here is the tree that never grew
here is the bird that never flew
here is the fish that never swam
here is the bell that never rang

It refers to the Glasgow Coat of Arms which has a tree, a bird, a fish and a bell on it. The symbols represent tales and miracles from the life of St. Mungo (Patron Saint of Glasgow).

It seemed like a good fit for the title of this Junto project.

For the track I used a large metal light shade (that I found in the streets of Glasgow) and a rock. I rubbed the rock around the inside of the light shade, taking special care as to the speed, volume and resonance of the sound. Different areas of the shade produced different sounds; scraping, hissing or resonant tones. I recorded two tracks like this with contact mics and panned them hard left and right. Then playing the edge of the shade with a violin bow, I recorded some pulsing feedbacky sounds. I didn’t use effects or even any EQing, I just kept re-recording things until I got them exactly right, instead of fixing them on the computer.

A Koala Sampler jam using Tibetan bowls and subtle beats at 120 BPM. I was aiming for conflicting emotions - blissed out trance and moving your body.

Got a Message From Lynne

Got a Message From Lynne (disquiet0682)

This week's #disquietjunto prompt was to create some music "in which you try to unring a bell."

In practice, I recorded the sound of a gong from our school’s band room (it’s like a bell but BIGGER). Then I tried to create the little snippets of sound that would fly around as the bell rang and which our hard-working theoretical performer would eventually have to reassemble.

Disassembling the bell’s tone into fragments was fun and challenging. I loaded the bell into Anemond’s Factoid to break it up into pieces based on frequency ranges, which got me lots of little snippets (including the drone tones you hear now and then). I also loaded it into Synplant, which generated tons of weird synthetic bells that led me down various rabbit holes of sound design and thoroughly distracted me from this project. I also put the bell sample into Ableton’s Simpler, sliced it into snippets based on transients, and then used the Arpeggiator plug-in to play the snippets randomly.

Isolating and organizing all these fragments and new samples into a track was pretty challenging! Eventually, I outlined the structure of the track, which helped me find my way.

1) Bell tone
2) Bits and pieces dance around the stereo field and an attempt is made to reassemble them
3) The bell is rung again, but this time it sounds slightly different
4) Part of the tone breaks off into a drone while a few snippets flit around
Once again, the bell is reassembled, with a big reverse sound leading into…
5) A big, new bell sound (created by layering pitch-shifted iterations of the original sample)

You Wouldn't Unring A Bell (disquiet0682)

The rhythm track is created from the sounds of a lighter, striking a match and a crackling fire ...
