Beautiful and eerie, the accompanying photograph you chose perfectly fits the overall mood of the music I think.

This bit definitely feels like a dream coming to an end. Love the swirls of reverb; it's almost like reverb is the main instrument. Really interesting approach, too, with the circle of fifths and MIDI set-up.

@xyzr_kx: thanks! it's funny what harmonics building up can do to perception...

Effective, glassy tones extracted from the drone--dramatic pacing and resolution.  


GURISITO CÓSMICO
Aunque todo este clarito no cierres tu corazón. 
Viene la noche al ratito y podes precisar el farol. 

Solo soy un gurisito cantando los mantras del cosmos, 
gritos del cielo y la tierra , silencios de siglos bien hondos. 

Sonidos que rajan la tierra como un gran río sideral. 
Siembra de llantos y risas que un día se han de cosechar. 

No siempre esta lindo el camino, andando aprendí a tropezar. 
Dicha de caer descubriendo el suelo que me enseño a soñar. 

Solo soy un gurisito cantando los mantras del cosmos.

Gurisito Cósmico

Vibra-PH part i

This came together very quickly, and it had to because I don't have any time this weekend.  

I downloaded and edited the samples, loaded them into my iPad to Samplr, doubled them up on the interface, and pitch shifted everything around until I got a backing track I liked.  

The voice sample was pitch-shifted down 3 semitones so that "she" became a "he".  The words were manipulated in real time.

It's kind of a "Boards of Canada or The Orb" meets "late-period Scott Walker's weird scratchy backing tracks".  Huzzah!

nystada - Mantra (disquiet0124-deriveandthrive)

Oddly perky smears & loops; i think there's an implication of a 'song' here. 

My main focus/fixation was the agitated thump of the sped-up loop from Erissoma’s “The miracle in the human brain" which i appear to be unable to tire of over the course of four minutes. Sections of Kayaka’s “O” were smeared through various granular delays until they felt like they made sense with the loop, it's edge removed as it were. I vaugley regret that all i did with D’Incise’s “Graphein" was create a sustained crackle but obviously not enough to actually do anything about it.

Музыка ко мне (google translation into Russian for "Music Come to Me") was created as part of the 13th Disquiet Junto project, namely: "There is a tremendous classical chamber-music ensemble in Los Angeles. Its name is wild Up, and it has provided to us the first movement of its recording of the Chamber Symphony, Op. 110a, by Dimitri Shostakovich. [...] You are invited to make something new from this source material. Please use only the source material".

THE APPROACH
A. Creative approach

The music of Shostakovich has always had an eerie quality for me. It is this quality which I aim to highlight with my approach. Two ideas (one experienced, the other imagined) come together in my approach:

- First, remembering my experience listening to a Bela Bartok quartet being played in a 13th Century church and hearing all sorts of instruments that weren't there. The power of the music and the natural reverb of the place were enough to conjure up an orchestra and a choir...

- Secondly, the idea of this Chamber Symphony coming to Shostakovich in a dream, struggling with confusing patterns and phrases that come and go, distilling into a seed which generates a musical idea.

B. Technical approach

The approach to this piece has been an elaborate take on the "circle of fifths" method which I already used in another remix in 2011 (http://soundcloud.com/jai_r/carlos-ruiz-acoustdeep-quick).

In this case, I took the 10 samples provided and loaded them into a single NI Kontakt insrument, all of them centred around C4, panning them approximately according to their position in an orchestra, and layering them in such a way that Key Velocity determined what sample was triggered, and using Midi Latch to keep the sample playing until released by the Panic button.

I recorded myself in Cubase playing a circle of fifths, starting in C3-C5 and ending in C4 (in most cases playing two instances of each note, in different octaves). I then edited the Cubase recording to simulate the Midi Latch effect and bounced the audio. 

I repeated the bounce using a different instance of NI Kontakt where the position of the samples in the vertical grid was changed around randomly. I generated a third audio track by inverting the second take.

I set up four FX tracks loaded with 4 NI Guitar Rig presets (Space, Water, Air and Filtered Delays) to add eerieness.

Reverb, Compression, EQ and Stereo Enhancer were added to the master track, and changes in the EQ improvised and recorded. The Reverb mix proportion varies throughout the piece from completely Wet to almost Dry.

My technical limitations make the end result far from perfect and sonically cluttered, but structured in such a way that I hope conveys the idea of a dream coming to an end, waking up with the start to a musical piece. 

Any comments are more than welcome. Enjoy!

Life is but a Learning Process, a work in progress... 

All tracks have added info. Contact me if you like what you hear and/or if you'd like to d/l anything. Production tips are always welcome, I don't really know what I'm doin' ! :-) 

Besides my individual endeavours, I'm currently involved in three projects:

http://soundcloud.com/k-p-t - audiovisual improvisation with Greg K and http://soundcloud.com/user3301471 
http://soundcloud.com/pppt - instrumental trio with http://soundcloud.com/carlos_ruizt and http://soundcloud.com/pepeprieto
http://soundcloud.com/the-kraut-funders - improvisation based on minimum motifs taken from classic composers, with Alberto Santos and Francesca Sorrentino 

My work consists of building blocks to be used interchangeably...Parts and pieces (or the whole piece) I present here will appear again during my work with any of the projects I may be involved with, further processed or unprocessed, in a different order, with a different character, nuancing a different aspect of the piece...or just as they are here with any additions provided by other musicians...find out more about this by taking a look at set "Playing 'Improv'" and reading the rules to the game...
