It's not minimal techno but it's nice... has me trapped listening.

Disquiet Junto Project 0082: Minimal Haydn

I wanted to be as true to the genre and to the assignment as possible. I went with out a beat for that reason, it was stipulated that we add no other element and I wanted to use this as a challenge. I think it worked pretty well. 
To be true to the genre set my beat to be at 125 bmp, and made great use of repetition, which is something I enjoy anyhow. 
I set out by opening the track in audacity and set it to play in reverse. I chose only three sections and safed each section separatly as ogg vorbis files. I then loaded these up in to the Audiofile Processor in LMMS and added reverb to all the sections. The first part I set to play at a much lower speed and set that as the base beat. The next part I added flanger to. I slowly increased the volume and did the same to the last section till I reached 100% volume. Then I cut the second part and ended the piece abruptly. 
I set out to create something that had enough of the original in to make it hint at Haydn without giving it all away.

Haydn Seek (disquiet0082-minimalhaydn)

The goal of this project was to make a 'minimal techno' track using samples from Franz Haydn’s String Quartet in F Major. Note that I do not believe I achieved this, although the results are interesting.

prolonged exposure [disquiet0082-minimalhaydn]

I was trying to extricate the basic components of the minimal genre, namely kick, snare, soundscapes and then work the silences around it. It came out denser/thicker than I initially intended. Thank you

I deem this a failure. It’s becoming depressing that I don’t have any idea how to create “techno”. This certainly isn’t, and it probably isn’t minimal either. I spent ages hand-crafting a “beat”, and all I got was a lousy pulse.

The rest is me throwing bits of sound around and being careless with effects plugins.

Not that I don’t like it, but I wish I could work out how to use Ableton just once and create something with a beat. Back to the DAW…


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This week’s project is another in a series of explorations of the concept of genre as a constraint. (The “downtempo” exercise went well several weeks ago, project 79, and this is another in that mode.) The genre this time is “minimal techno.” The source material is from another genre entirely: “classical,” specifically chamber music in the form of a string quartet. The goal of this project is to derive elements from the source material in the service of a track that would fit in the prescribed genre.

Haydn Agenda [disquiet0082-minimalhaydn]

Disquiet Junto Project 0082: Minimal Haydn

This week’s project is another in a series of explorations of the concept of genre as a constraint. The genre this time is “minimal techno.” The source material is from another genre entirely: “classical,” specifically chamber music in the form of the third movement of Franz Haydn’s String Quartet in F Major.

Approach:
Not having much time this week and not used to composing minimal techno, I simply chose a couple of instances in the music which I thought could lend themselves to becoming frantic loops through heavy processing in Ableton Live.

I don't really consider the end result of my approach to have been successful as regards the aim of the assignment. The piece I deliver isn't really minimal techno nor can the original bits of the source material be heard in their original form at any point. The track is really a continuous build from start to finish, with only a couple of elements, more akin to the sound of a plane lifting off than a minimal techno tune. Perhaps with more time to play around, I could have devised an overall cleaner sound and more compositional elements towards building a piece that is truly in the style of minimal techno.

I deliver this 40 minutes behind schedule...

Lift Off [disquiet0082-minimalhaydn]


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.

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...

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album Selected Ambient Works Volume II was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.
