and it's only now

Recorded, mixed & mastered on 05 Dec 2024 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa. 

Process notes - I started by working in VCV Rack, capturing a 7 minute stereo recording. I pulled this into Ableton Live and layered the track six times, each track being treated differently. I mixed/mastered on the same night. 

Tools used 
VCV Rack - VCV-native modules, Vult Bleak, Surge XT Modern VCO, Frozen Wasteland Seriously Slow LFO, BogAudio VCF & LFO, JW-Modules Clock, Aaron Static’s Chord CV, Daniel Davies’ Sequel_8, Sckitam Waveguide Delay, Squinky Labs Stairway filter. 
Ableton Live - native Live devices and Cycling 74’s multiharmonizer

Performing A Choke (disquiet0675)

Disquiet Junto Project 0675: Arc of the Drone
The Assignment: Record a drone that goes from simple to complex to simple.

A few years ago, I was addicted to drones. I stopped doing it because I felt I had nothing more to say with it. So it was fun to make one again. It's a single note from a single synthesizer, of course, and the complexity is added by half a dozen of different parameter modifiers on the synth and some fx. I want to mention that this is not the first time I've asked myself: What is complexity? For one thing, certainly the absence of simplicity and the presence of information. This somehow led me to use a bitcrusher for the first draft. I started with fewer bits, because simple means less information, and then allow more bits, which means more information thus more complexity. The result shows listeners how stupid the idea was, and not just because the reverb was behind the bitcrusher. The artefacts of the lower bit rates at the beginning and end seem to increase the complexity, ore something else. So at the end it may not sound like it's going from simple to complex to simple, but it actually is. For me, it was a strange adventure, but I like the result.

The Assignment: Record a drone that goes from simple to complex to simple.

Step 1: You may, yourself, be experienced recording drone music, or you may never have recorded any. You may not even be sure what drone music is, in which case read up a bit. Not matter your experience and familiarity, please give some thought as to what constitutes drone music.

Step 2: Now think about what makes a drone simple and what makes a drone complex.

Step 3: Now record a piece of drone music that begins simple, gets complex, and then gets simple again. And note: The simple drone at the end needn’t necessarily be the same sort of drone with which the piece opens.
