you created a wonderful dream- or trancelike atmosphere which - as the title suggests - causes a slight uneasiness, perfectly fitting with the task

One of my favorites this week! Just has the right mood and feel to it, and the Patterning percussion gives such nice momentum:-)

Open Road…   ( Naviarhaiku 466 )

Disquiet Junto Project 0572: Rhythm Kit
The Assignment: Make a beat that someone else will add to.

Note: This project is the first of a two-parter. You don’t need to participate in both, and you can easily participate in the second one (next week) even if you don’t participate in the first one.

Instruction: Record a beat with the intension that someone other than yourself will add something to it at a later date. It’s preferable that you record something that lasts between one and three minutes, but it’s also fine to record something shorter with the intention that someone will loop it — or something longer, for that matter.

Track notes:

I always like when one of the more beat-oriented prompts comes up because it gets me to think about rhythm tools, which I'm fairly inconsistent with. 

I thought I would would use my modular synth to generate the beat starting with a trio of samplers triggered by dividing and multiplying clock dividers. The resulting three samples are then routed through some signal manipulation: a wasp filter, stereo delay and Make Noise Morphagene. I also had some fun with a sample and hold which controls the pitch CV of one of the samples.

I found this old discarded beat on my computer with not much memory of creating it. According to the file stamp its from November 2020. Think I'd been reading Pynchon's Mason and Dixon around the time which is why its called "Hsi and Ho"

Image came from the prompt: "hsi and ho in a pynchon fever dream" given to Nightcafe

Collaborative work with my dear friend Rising Tree Sighs who took care of the mix

Humming Lighthouse (with Rising Tree Sighs)

I used the sample of Bassel's voice to create some of the pads and granular noise, I modulated these using ApeDelay, AudioDamage Suite on iOS, AmazingNoises Reverb and AUFX Dub/Space/Push were also employed in this part of the process.  I then created a melancholic melody using two Fugues via FugueMachine which I then recorded midi loops of into KorgGadget; which in turn then powered several synths.  The rhythm track was created using Olympia Noise Co.'s Patterning.  Final compositing was done with Logic Pro X...  Thanks for dropping by and taking time to view and listen.  

Disquiet Junto Project 0294: Offline Status
Pay tribute to the late Bassel Khartabil by turning his spoken words into music.

Note: Tracks from this project, and from previous Bassel-related Junto projects, may be played on the Over the Edge radio show on August 24th.

Step 1: This is the second of two consecutive projects we’re undertaking, following the news of Bassel Khartabil’s death. (If you’re new to the Junto, Bassel was an open-source coder who did a lot of work in CGI before being imprisoned in Syria. Word of his execution just recently became public. This is the sixth project we’ve done about him over the years.)

Step 2: Download the following short snippet of an audio file, just seven seconds, of Bassel speaking. In it you’ll hear his voice, as well as the lofi glory of mundane Internet communication, and some beeping inherent in everyday digital tools. You’ll use all this audio in your own track for this project. It’s on dropbox.com.

Step 3: Listen closely to Bassel’s voice and the other sounds that make up the file from Step 2.

Step 4: Record a piece of music that either begins with or ends with the full audio of Bassel’s voice. Use your own original instrumentation as well as elements extracted from the audio file as part of your composition to either extend from or lead up to the provided audio.

Uneasiness - DSQT 0294 Offline Status

A comparison of SSM and SassLite, both using twin pairs of Primo EM172 capsules per channel.  Both units weigh the same.  One is commercially produced, the other is home-made.  Not much in it really.  The SSM image is more centred than the SASS which has a wider image.  Rigs are set up one metre apart, 6th September 2012, early morning near a dam in NSW, Australia.  Noisy Friarbirds are calling in the distance to the left and a pair if Australasian Little Grebe call occasionally near the centre.  Both rigs are running to Olympus LS10 recorders, levels set at Low 10, no low cut.  No filtering.
