I like how you made the drum sounds. Using the hisses and distortions was a great idea! And still, this track is nice because you used a real synth (not an instrument like a guitar) + made it more "electronic", what is interesting!

Very Krautrock/Kosmische Musik - wonderful!

Simple, perhaps, but interesting - the the decay provides a very absorbing background, too. Very enjoyable track.

love the slow attack speed here, nice sounds!

I love the mood you created here. it can be definitely used as an intro or outrro to a piece

I'm with Maria, less definitely means more here! Very cool.

Galaxy Merger

beta decay: electron radiation. electronic activity is the key.

distorted, overloaded, tape saturated synthesizer layers. for disquiet's twenty-second junto, sonic decay (http://disquiet.com/2012/05/31/disquiet0022-sonicdecay/). all sounds made with a juno 106.

i improvised a pad sequence with the juno, recording at very hot levels into a yamaha mt4x tape machine. overloaded the preamps, as well as saturated the old heavily-used tape. after this, i adjusted a couple of the ADSR envelope sliders to get a suitable arpeggio length, and re-recorded the synth, this time going for a clean, undistorted sound. i pulled apart the "dirty" original to mostly line it up with the arp, but left it fairly loose, as befits the junto theme.

the percussion was made by sampling the tape hiss/artifacts/distortion. some envelope and pitch shaping, layered multiple times, yielded decent kicks and snares/clicks. after that, i added a smidgen of bitcrushing to the drums, reverb all around, and delay. the whole thing was assembled & sequenced in renoise 2.8 on gentoo linux (as seen in the screenshot).

i only had a couple of hours to put this together yesterday, and a couple more today, so i'm well aware that it isn't exceptionally interesting. with more time (and fewer hardware lockups, thanks to beta-testing firewire drivers and failing hardware), i could have come up with a more polished, exploratory track. still, the point of the junto is to meet the challenge of creating in a short time frame. this track doubles as the piece for my creative one-a-day; "beta decay" marks day 316.

Nick Angeloni is a composer, audio engineer, pianist and synthesist who releases work under the name n-So.

One of the hallmarks of Nick's fantastic 2018 album 'A Stroke of Blue' is its careful balance of felted piano and electronics — it's an album that's full of accessible moments that twist in just the right way. Depending on the listener, the album's x-factor could be the unexpected textures, or it could be a chord that perfectly roots an ambient soundscape.

Speaking with Nick, I was reminded how tense the balance is between will + self-care. Nick is an incredibly talented and driven artist, and it was staggering to hear him talk openly about the challenges he faced while trying to finish this work. And to confirm that coming out of the valley isn't a momentous break of clarity — it's small moments of grace, of the universe wanting to heal what's hurting. I am grateful for Nick's honesty, artistry, and perseverance.

Episode 20 was lovingly assembled and edited by Matt Lowery (@mattlowerymusic). I'm so grateful for his willingness to give his energy and expertise toward this project and toward the lines community. sound and process is an exploration of lines, so, come join the conversation at https://llllllll.co
