The latest Disquiet Junto assignment was to record a rhythm track through a wall. I did that twice, once with omni-directional mics in my bathroom, and once with contact mics on the bathroom wall. More process stuff at the lines forum link below.

Disquiet Junto Project 0632: Shear Wind
The Assignment: Make the most of the disturbance within a field recording.

Step 1: Consider how when making a field recording, there can be disturbances in it, such as a passing car or plane, or a noise you didn’t notice until you listened back, or a malfunction in the recording equipment. A common such problem is wind shear.

Step 2: Make a recording that has wind shear in it, perhaps by standing in the wind, or recording from a moving vehicle, or through some other technique. Or locate a pre-existing field recording with wind shear, perhaps on freesound.org 1.

Step 3: Make a piece of music employing the recording you made in Step 2, and make the wind shear a focus of the piece. That is, pay attention to, rather than avoid, this sound that you would likely in other circumstances identify as a shortcoming.

Track notes:

I spent a couple of days in my hometown/homearea of Normanville on the western coastline of the Fleurieu Peninsula. It's Summer here at the moment, and the weather down south has been particular lovely and warm. I took a long late afternoon walk along the beach, heading south with the heritage protected dunes on one side and a very still ocean on the other. 

Aside from the serene, still conditions there was a nagging, turbulent breeze throughout the afternoon and evening.

I made a few recordings along the way, including one at the foot of the dunes (feat. cicadas) and another on a shallow bed of dried seaweed at the tide break. Though I documented moments of transparency in the recordings, the wind (even with a jammer on the handheld recorder) was prominent throughout.

Since coming home and listening back to the recordings, I thought it would be interesting not only to feature the sound of wind shear, but use its dynamic peaks to control aspects of the composition.

I recorded a sample from the tide recording to my Morphagene module and routed the CV output directly to the clock. The dry/wet mix was set to roughly 60/40, so 60% of the mix would be the dune recording played back in real time, whilst 40% is the tide sample playing back on the Morphagene. Whenever a wind shear event arose (either form the tide or dunes) this would manipulate the time stretching, 'Morph' and 'Slide' parameters of the Morphagene. 

I'm letting the Morphagene play itself for the first half of this track, then subtly manipulating some of the controls to transition parts of the sample and close out the track with just the dune recording.

For Disquiet Junto 0637: The Assignment: Record the second third of an eventual trio.
I added to Sinny Sound's "Lucky Link": https://soundcloud.com/sinnysounds2/lucky-link-disquiet0636?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0636
I wanted to add some light harmony to underscore the melody. Converted the melody to midi harmony in Ableton. Made some light adjustments to midi notes here and there. Used the Schwarzonator 2.0 device to help add some additional chord notes. Chose some light key sounds from Kontakt 40's keys and Playbox. Also light bass from Lode, and melodic tabla. Tapped in the shaker parts. Panned hard right with orginal panned left. 

Enjoyed listening Sinny Sound's lovely melody while making this. I'll be humming it all week!

It was fun listening to everyone's "Left" tracks this week, I'm always in awe by this community's talent and creativity!

This was made for the disquiet junti 0642 with the assignment: Use carbonation to make a beat. I recorded the sound of opening some beer and soda bottles, pitched one of them down to create a kickdrum an dloded then all in Nysthi's QuadSimpler. In search of an appropriate melody, I borrowed the famous drinking song from Siegmund Romberg's operetta The Student Prince and converted it into 4/4 beat. And then added a bass.

There was a time when I was involved in Science! But that was a mistake. My Passion is music. I play the pipe-organ and synthesizer, I play the organ in a few bands and I like Apple computers. I discovered SuperCollider and VCV Rack: great ways of making sounds. Enjoy them on SoundCloud!
