clean sounds & charming percussion, peachy

"Please record the sound of an ice cube rattling in a glass, and make something of it."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Track inspired by ❄️❄️❄️ Wiley's Eskibeat, Dat Oven – Icy Lake, and Mssingno (more generally).

Wrote it mostly on bus to/in Galway so ice-in-glass samples are taken from freesounds.org rather than recorded myself. Also used some other icy samples such as ice machines and people walking on ice.

Most of beat is done with these samples, only thing added is the kick and snare/clap (and some occasional eski samples).

Bass synth made with Ableton operator, the rest are Massive.

Icy Start [disquiet0314]

I am not available between Thursday and Monday - so I have done next week's Junto a bit early! 

I took @widdly "Ritual First" (https://soundcloud.com/widdly/ritual-first-disquiet0316 - which in turn built on @337is track Ritual To Claim 1st Chair - https://soundcloud.com/337is/ritual-to-claim-1st-chair-disquiet0315)and overlaid a modular synth track, in which a midi sequence is alternately given to four oscillators that are tuned to an odd chord - the speed at which the sequence switches between oscillators is set by an LFO that has it's speed also driven by the midi sequence (though I manually increase the depth of modulation as it plays). I processed this in Acid Pro to fit the length and pitch of the backing.

Disjointed Trio (Disquiet0317)

TRIPTYCHNESS
Created by DD on Friday 26th January 2018 for
Disquiet Junto Project 0317: Triadic Awareness
The Assignment: Record the third part of a trio, adding to a pre-existing track of two parts.

I took @encymlll track First Chair
https://soundcloud.com/encymlll/first-chair-by-encym-disquiet0315

That @leberger expanded on his own Je Seconde

I just hesitated between adding an electric guitar or my hang, so eventually I kept bits of both.

A pleasure to jam with these guys.

Triptychness (with leberger & encym)  disquiet0317

1st chair: @photofractal
2nd chair: @ohjann
3rd chair: me

I was drawn to this track for it's impressionistic style and it's overall emphasis on texture and abstractness(if that's a word).  I messed around on my out of tune piano for a bit and realized that this was in Amaj.  Diddled around and recorded some bits on my Tascam handheld and moved that to my SP-202.  From there added some effects and tried to keep it real laid back in the mix to just keep adding to the textures that were already in place.  Props to @photofractal and @ohjann for the mighty strong foundation with this one and super props to Marc.  This was very enjoyable.

3 Angles (disquiet0317)

First Junto!

Made for Disquiet Junto Project 0317: Triadic Awareness
The Assignment: Record the third part of a trio, adding to a pre-existing track of two parts.

Recorded some click drum set sounds, added delays, manipulated a grain delay object in Ableton. Was going for sweeping, ascending gestures made as the track played. Then I took a short “shh” sample from freesound.org (https://freesound.org/people/margo_heston/sounds/193312/) and made a little “instrument” of transposed and warped version of that clip, which I also layered onto the track.

I took the opening bars from an early '80s Italian pop song, cut it up, ran it through some effects (pitch, chorus, delay, freeze)and then played it back with one note missing on each iteration.
