“Metropolis” live soundtrack

Disquiet Junto's 715th prompt was simple: record yourself making a mistake on purpose, and emphasize the error through repetition. 

Long-time readers will know that I favor narrative in my pieces, so I created a little vignette: we listen in on a frustrated pianist in a parlor, as she tries to improvise on a piano with a bad E4. (The piece was improvised, but it was refined over a couple of takes.) 

Features synthetic piano, organic vocal, and ambient field recording.

Improv in A minor (on a piano with a sticky key) (disquiet0715)

Various authors with some real-time processing captured from Radio Aporee.
It is interesting to discover how inspiring the single nuances of concrete sounds can be, with rhythms, melodic/harmonic cells, textures and more.
This material certainly lends itself very well to further processing for the creation of something else.
Radio Aporee is an excellent source of inspiration.

The hidden beauty of concrete sounds v.1

I’ve been exploring the drone possibilities of the ronroco. Although it’s a high-pitched instrument with picked strings that produce short, percussive transients, it can be layered and softly strummed to create a surprisingly sustained sound.

In this piece, I combine those textures with my own bowed upright bass and generous layers of long reverbs,trying to create an all acoustic, atmospheric soundscape.

The Assignment: „Dense Fog Advisory“ is your band’s name; now record something.

For me, that band name requires heavy guitar and some heavy metal roaring lead voice. As that is not exactly what i am usually into, here is an intro for the track demanded in the assignment.
