The Assignment: Create a new track from three tracks from three different netlabels.

These are the steps:

Step 1: Create a new piece of music by using nothing but the following segments of the following songs:

The first 15 seconds of “Dog Kiss” by Chtin Mara off the album Animus Animal Anima (Enough Records), available for free download at: http://goo.gl/iWcJJs

The first 10 seconds of “Qif Kiff” by Ayato & Natalia Kamia off the album Cluster (eg0cide Records), available for free download at: https://eg0cide.bandcamp.com/album/eg0-131-ayato-natalia-kamia-cluster

The first 10 seconds of “Espasmo” by Lingering Last Drops (Bump Foot Records), available for free download at: https://lingeringlastdrops.bandcamp.com/

made using timestreching, distortion and reverb plugins. the intention was to layer more drums/percussion to give it a ritual tribal feel but alas ran out of time available to work those in :-(

Disquiet Junto Project 0304: Let’s Buzz
Create a piece of music by thinking of the structure of a bee hive.

Step 1: Consider the bee hive. Think about its structure, the activity it contains, how the hive lends form to that activity and how the activity contributes to the hive’s form.

Step 2: Create a piece of music that is based on the structure of the bee hive.
------------------------------------

I’m stoked to (finally) submit a track to a junto project! I’ve been following it for a long time but never managed to take part. Until now!

/// process 
I started by looking at pictures of beehives on google. From there i got the idea to create a midi track in Ableton and manually ‘paint’ the structure of the beehive with midi notes. I then looking for the appropriate instrument to play these midi notes. I choose Aalto’s FM Plonk (by Richard Devine). I tweaked the settings a little to suit my taste (a little more reverb for example). 
Thereafter i remembered i had a recording of bees (and frogs) from a couple of years back. I added this layer. The result is a mixture highly abstract synthetic sounds, representing the structure of the beehive, with the sounds of the bees themselves, buzzing around and in this structure.

What does it sound like when a robot has the blues?

Can’t quite tell for other cities, but believe me: this is  the kind of music robots like to listen to in my hometown when they get sad and low.
Buenos Aires is a melancholic city, and robots are not spared.

I won’t be surprised if this track becomes a hit among robots, my vacuum cleaner got weird while I was mixing this earlier this morning.
Me too, mind...

Bandoneon performed by Olivier Manoury, the rest by D.D.

When Robots Cry in Buenos Aires

When Robots Cry In Buenos Aires (disquiet0331)

Not a "Greatest Hit" per se, but easily my favorite (early) Mac song, edited across multiple versions & fidelities to play somewhat seamlessly for over 2 hours, with the mix slowly being eroded by a cavernous echo that is being gated by the dynamics of the dry signal.

EDIT, 06/17/18. I was taken aback by Danny Kirwan's passing a few days after I originally posted this. One of my all-time favorites, esp. within the context of both this lineup of Mac & this particular song; the original studio session which starts off the proceedings here was his first recorded appearance with the band! 

I've taken the original premise & fleshed it out a bit further, so that it can be put it to rest; this revised version uses the following versions of "Albatross" in a program that loops three times; almost entirely dry, then slowly fading in the reverb signal, finally slowly fading out the dry signal:
