Disquiet Junto Project 0020: App Beat

My first Junto project!

Three instances of NodeBeat recorded into Ableton, two of which were heavily diced and processed, the third was recorded with the attack, decay and release settings  in NodeBeat set to their maximum length, and treated with reverb.  The additional instrumentation is simply light percussion, vocal samples, and static. No specific planning, as most of this unfolded generatively and thru improvisation.

This track employs the app NodeBeat, created by Seth Sandler, Justin Windle, and Laurence Muller. More information on NodeBeat at nodebeat.com.

NodeBits~[disquiet0020-nodebeat]

been experimenting playing the guitar through csgrain with the ebow - layered alongside a high bpm nodebeat track

Grainbow [Disquiet0020-nodebeat]

Being less of a planner than a "hunter", that was the deal here.  This is 2 min. plus of one 8 min. take with the flash version of NodeBeat.  [There were other takes.]  Then the kalimba.  [There were other instruments.  And other takes of the kalimba.]

The kalimba was to do what NB wouldn't, namely play longish notes with some operator-playable variations (flutter in the kalimba's resonance by covering/uncovering the soundholes).

Noded [disquiet0020-nodebeat]

This piece is made up of two elements - a Nodebeat loop and electric guitar (fender jazzmaster) that I played.  Each was processed with a lot of delay and some distortion.  I noticed that there were many ways that you could use Nodebeat, even though it seems like a simplistic app.  I chose not to use any percussive drum sounds or sustained sounds (which the app can do).  This was a fun experiment and definitely not something I would think of making, so this project was successful in getting me out of a small rut.
