Disquiet Junto Project 0044

Used part of the long file to create the first half, parts of the second, processed, to create the “wane”.

Nothing added. I was too tired to think it through, so I just played around with track fragments until it felt right. Reminds me of the storm sound effects in old movies, they always sounded overdone but it seems they were nothing like the frightening reality.

Disquiet Junto Project 0044: Sandy 2012

This is a shared-sample project. The theme is "the calm after the storm." Terrible weather hit the East Coast of the United States earlier this week in the form of Superstorm Sandy, leaving death and destruction in its wake. Many Disquiet Junto contributors live in the area that was damaged by Sandy, and this project has their best wishes in mind.

The goal of this week's project is to turn these fierce sounds into something peaceful, to produce sonic calm after the storm by using sounds from the storm itself.

For this project, we'll employ two audio documents of the storm, both recorded in Brooklyn, New York, by Michael Raphael — known to SoundCloud regulars as Sepulchra. Both tracks are high-fidelity WAV files that represent well the fierce winds that Sandy brought to the East Coast.

The project instructions are simple:

Step 1: Download the Zip file containing two field recordings of the storm Sandy recorded by Michael Raphael in Brooklyn. The files are located here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/oia1nt7kso7fb1k/junto_sandy.zip ;

Step 2: Create an original track that makes a transition from stormy to placid over the course of its duration. Your track should open fiercely and then slowly give way to calm. You can use additional instruments of your choosing, but the original field recordings should serve as source material both for the stormy and for the placid portions of your track. In other words: the calm part of the track should be built in large part from audio of the storm.

The source audio from the 2012 storm Sandy was documented by Michael Raphael, an SFX recordist who maintains the field recording blog Fieldsepulchra at http://sepulchra.com/blog. His sound effects can be found at Rabbit Ears Audio, http://rabbitearsaudio.com.
