Caterpillar  (Naviarhaiku 503 )

First Disquiet

Digitakt + Syntakt + Norns + Mood2 + Guitar + Blooper

Piano sample from another project

Small guitar ambient guitar sample using Blooper as a fast delay with the glitch effect. Created tones using sustainer pickup and fading in to the delay line.

Kept it minimal to allow for space if other instruments come.

Added reverb kick on Syntakt

Added hi hat on 1, 3, 4 - just felt better

Added notes on Norns Awake application into Mood2 reverb. Captured small glitchy samples.

Lots of repeating ideas so I grabbed a few passes of the glitch to leave in as a choice.

Added a lot of gain in post processing. Need to look at my gain staging!

Disquiet Junto Project 0618: Burying the Lede
The Assignment: Turn old news into new music.

I love reading very old news articles and noticing the ways life is still the same and the ways is very different. I wanted to find something from 100 years before I was born in The San Francisco Chronicle. My actual birthday (August 20th) was missing pages in the archive where I looked (newspapers.com) so I went with August 27th, 1884. I enjoyed the style of writing and storytelling about a dog that was addicted to opium. It carries echos of the present day anxiety about fentanyl but in other ways has no moral or backstory - just a snapshot of life.

To create this sonically, I used the "Matthew" voice from TTSmp3.com and played a bit with inserting commands for spacing or emphasis on particular words (always a challenge with text to speech). It worked OK though I think this piece might have been good with someone just reading it.

After creating an initial draft of the piece where I faded out the voice to let the music take over, I thought it would be more fun to disappear him into something that sounds more musical. So I auto-tuned the voice to try to keep it to F# and G. Then I exported the voice file and uploaded it into Holly+, Holly Herndon's AI tool for converting any audio file into her voice. This created something staticky and singsongy. I crossfaded this with the original voice and then chopped up some bits that worked rhythmically for the end.

Just because, I included a little sound design early on using a "Victorian street" simulation by Timbre on Freesound.org. I then processed it and played it backwards, as is *required* of any *real* sound art...

Disquiet Junto Project 0620: Beat Accrual Accrual
The Assignment: Turn someone’s slow-build beat into a finished track.

Step 1: In the previous project, people built beats that accrue slowly over time. Familiarize yourself with the instructions at disquiet.com/0619 3.

Step 2: Several of the musicians who participated last week have allowed their tracks to be reused for this project. The majority are in this playlist. If you’d like your track from the previous project included this week, just get in touch and let me know.

https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0619-1 23

This track is also available:

https://raincat.bandcamp.com/track/heartbeat-of-the-sun-disquiet0619 5

Step 3: Make a new track by adding material to the track you selected from Step 2. Do as little as possible to the source track. Try to just, for the most part, add to it directly, rather than processing or editing the earlier track.

Seven Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0620” (no spaces or quotation marks) in the name of your tracks.

Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag “disquiet0620” (no spaces or quotation marks). If you’re posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to subsequent location of tracks for the creation of a project playlist.

Step 3: Upload your tracks. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your tracks.

Step 4: Post your track in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0620-beat-accrual-accrual/

Step 5: Annotate your track with a brief explanation of your approach and process.

Step 6: If posting on social media, please consider using the hashtag #DisquietJunto so fellow participants are more likely to locate your communication.

Step 7: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Note: Please post one track for this weekly Junto project. If you choose to post more than one, and do so on SoundCloud, please let me know which you’d like added to the playlist. Thanks.

Additional Details:

Length: The length is up to you. Your track should be roughly the same length as the source track you built upon.

Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, November 20, 2023, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, November 16, 2023.

Upload: When participating in this project, be sure to include a description of your process in planning, composing, and recording it. This description is an essential element of the communicative process inherent in the Disquiet Junto. Photos, video, and lists of equipment are always appreciated.

Download: It is always best to set your track as downloadable and allowing for attributed remixing (i.e., a Creative Commons license permitting non-commercial sharing with attribution, allowing for derivatives).

For context, when posting the track online, please be sure to include this following information:

You may know Raymond Stull for his regular music contributions to our weekly challenge as Stull, but this week he’s also the author of the haiku of the week.

“What (Ray) loves most about Naviar Haiku is the freedom to pursue an idea freely to whatever end. Sometimes the poem feels like a soundtrack and other times it evokes jazz, dubstep, rock, or an ambient piece. Sometimes it evens starts as one and ends as another.”
