Holding Steady [Free Download] + New Album

I started building this with the keyboard riff, which I recorded live and used the midi from to layer another patch of the softsynth rgc later in. The chimey loop at the start is from Samplephonics "30 Free Arps" which I got last week. Then came the guitar, and another percussive loop halfway through. I decided it needed another layer, so I added a part on z3ta and layered it again with a piano patch from a synth called sfz. All done in SONAR.

Morning Song disquiet0221-morningmusic

I interpreted a shifting bottom as shifting drum patterns. I put hits on odd spaces in a first two bar loop, then added in two six-beat loops further along in the track, so they only line up after a number of bars. The beats made what I had used for a bass part seem to float, so I layered in another synth playing the same arpeggio a little higher, fading it in and out to make it sound softer.

Blossoms In The Rain disquiet0222-boundedfoundation.

Speed Of Time

I started with the idea of using Asus2 because its a bit ambiguous, A E B, but then added G to make what I think would properly be called Emin add11. This is the “Roger Miller/ Mission of Burma” classic chord. I wound up making it all guitar. I played voicings of octaves and drones of each note, tuning in “zones” as I’ve heard Robin Guthrie of Cocteau Twins would do. Seven tracks total, using wah wah, distortion, reverb/delay and amp simulator effects.

Tidy Up II [disquiet0245]

OK, make noise. After some time trying to be in a mold, I just did this to get a result I liked, regardless of usefulness for any purpose.
Beatmatched loops in clashing keys--- are loops cheating? probably. do I have to have any them in the same key?---I guess not. Guitar added in last, second full take, no comping.
