this weeks Disquiet is to make 200bpm ambient - who could resist a challenge like that 

Not really sure if it is either gabber or ambient but it is at 220 bpm! 

I'm sure in the right state of mind this could take you places!

Disquiet Junto Project 0556: Gabber Ambient
The Assignment: Field-test a hybrid genre.

I started with a 200 bpm Kickdrum in Live. It seemed to be enough for some minutes. I added a lot of things, just to not be lazy. From there I went one by feeling. It was basically a loop with minimal variations when I exported stems and recut the track in Reaper by destroying a lot of things. I am really neither a fan of Kickdrums nor from bpms faster than 90, but after all I liked the track.

Initially, I thought Gabber wouldn't be my cup of tea, but archive.org had some really interesting modern Gabber tracks under a Creative Commons License. The song that appealed to me the most was from an Indonesian production (Gabber Modus Operandi - Puxxximaxxx, "Hey Nafsu", https://archive.org/details/yesno091).

Ninety-nine percent of the sounds came from the track. I chopped up the snippets with Voltage Modular, stretched them in Ableton, and maltreated them with long effects chains. To add a bit of Ambient cliche, I added the song of a humpback whale (because, why not – sometimes a track needs a pink fluffy unicorn ribbon).

It still sounds rough around the edges, but maybe there's a genre of noise ambient it fits into.

The Assignment: Field-test a hybrid genre.

Thanks to Sevenism for having proposed this project.

Gabber and ambient music seem like polar opposites. Gabber is typified by a constant distorted kick drum pummelling you at upwards of 200bpm. Ambient, on the other hand, can be deeply immersive or barely noticeable. This project asks the question: is “gabber ambient” possible?

Step 1: Consider what makes gabber gabber and what makes ambient ambient. Where is there crossover?

Step 2: Make a track that could be construed as “gabba ambient.”

Step 3: You’re probably going to want to delete it. Try not to. Save and upload.

Eight Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0556” (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 “disquiet0556” (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:

Project discussion takes place on llllllll.co: https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0556-gabber-ambient/

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.

Step 8: Also join in the discussion on the Disquiet Junto Slack. Send your email address to marc@disquiet.com for Slack inclusion.

Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, August 28, 2022, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, August 25, 2022.

Length: The length is up to you. Does fast mean long or short?

0822 Disquiet Junto 556 Snafu Snafu Hey

This track is intended to create the soundscape of a superficially quiet place, where the hectic noises of industrial manufacturing processes blend with the calm melodies of strings and piano.
The string part was played by a Sonic Pi algorithm programmed exclusivly for this track - it reacts on Midi-notes and creates highly randomized sections based on these inputs.

The music was inspired by the Disquiet Junto Project 0556 (see below), the proposed Gabber-music inspired its interpretation as machine-induced production-sounds.

[disquiet0556] From The Darkness It Comes

This composition was created for the Disquiet Junto Project 0556: Gabber Ambient. 

Here's the description I posted on the Disquiet Junto 0556 discussion thread:
I was immediately intrigued by this assignment. I’m into ambient, lofi and more mellow forms of electronic music these days, but there was a time many years ago when I enjoyed fast BPM genres like hardcore, jungle, and especially drum and bass. I never listened to a lot of gabber though but am familiar with it. 

Like many, my first introduction to ambient was Brian Eno’s “Ambient 1: Music for Airports”. So my piece starts off with a short sample of his voice from a 2011 interview I found online. From there, it quickly morphs into loud 180 BPM madness, while a slow more ambient undercurrent, meanders underneath. Halfway through, the beat shifts to a bit of a DnB vibe. Everything cools off to a more serene feel at the end. This was created in Abelton Live using a combination of instruments, samples and effects. 

Combining the two types of music was like mixing oil and water but hopefully my contribution here is mostly successful. It sounded good to me, plus I had a lot of fun fooling around with this project.

ambber (disquiet0556)

tm8.club’s fourth VA brings together *FLINTA artists exploring the deeper, more emotive corners of the club spectrum, creating a richly layered compilation from the first beat.

On this release, each artist delivers an engaging and evocative track, from introspective wormholes to potent post-midnight moments, resulting in a nuanced and sonically textured body of work. 

KØLT co-founder AYIM opens the V/A with a cerebral touch on ‘Tier’, built by  a sparse soundscape and layered with a tenebrous lead and gauzy grooves. It’s followed by So_N, who begins ‘NB’ on a beatless note before descending into siren-shaped frequencies and resonant basslines.

On ‘Kråkesølv’, Oslo-based artist vilde wahl evokes a bleep-ridden world led by a loopy  melody, flecked with mechanical whirrs. Simrana sprinkles staccato beats between churning rhythms and metallic riffs on ‘RealmRide’, forming a shadowy and quick-paced number. 

anti-alias founder Emma Rak melds throbbing melodies with oil-slicked drums and dubby atmospheres on ‘Kali Tragus’, produced with razor-sharp precision. xia closes the compilation on ‘Heart glitch’, stitching woody percussion between bird-like FX, culminating in a push-pull effect. It’s the kind of track that stays with you long after listening—much like the V/A itself, which embodies the label’s evolving ethos and emotional range.

I love listening to music. I love making music 

I love technology, but only as a means to an end when it comes to music making. 

I'm after music that has life not music that is perfectly constructed
