Disquiet Junto Project 0593: The Charm
The Assignment: Record the second third of an asynchronous trio.

Please note: While this is the third part of a three-part project sequence, you can participate in one, two, or all three of the parts, which have occurred over the course of three consecutive weeks.

Step 1: This week’s Disquiet Junto project is the third in a sequence that encourages and rewards asynchronous collaboration. This week you will be adding music to a pre-existing track, which you will source from the previous week’s Junto project (disquiet.com/0592 7). Note that you are finishing a trio: you’re creating the third part of what two previous musicians began. Please keep this in mind.

Step 2: The plan is for you to record an original piece of music, on any instrumentation of your choice, as a complement to a pre-existing track. First, however, you must select the piece of music to which you will be adding your own music. There are tracks by numerous musicians to choose from. The majority are in this playlist:

It was an interesting balancing act, to add something fresh while still leave enough space for the original material to breathe.

This is my 2nd iteration.
Initially, I wanted to just record a drum part but wasn’t satisfied with the end result.
I wanted something more subtle.

So for the 2nd iteration, I came up with a process that allowed me to explore a few of my current interests at the same time. Probably that’s why I was willing to give this piece so much attention. Hm…

Below is a somewhat detailed description of the process and context.
It’s long & detailed, because I wanted to capture a few thoughts while they’re still fresh.

Context:

earlier this week, I studied interviews with Nils Frahm about his current improvised live concerts (How I Play Live: Nils Frahm | DJMag.com). My take-away for me was that playing all parts by hand (e.g. not relying on quantized sequencers) is a part of his organic sound that I like so much.
That motivated me to play keyboard a lot more - mostly piano & electric piano sounds with a touch of tape delay effect - and discover that this is currently my favorite thing to do, musically.

yesterday, I repaired the broken switch of the audio input preamp on my Buchla Easel, and my mind was naturally wondering about how to employ it in the next projects…

earlier today, I read an interview with Biosphere (In the studio with Biosphere | Headphone Commute) - another artist whose sound I like a lot.
I liked the idea of processing samples of acoustic instruments (he mentions sampling classical music) through synths/filters/etc.

yesterday, I found the perfect reverb effect pairing for the Easel - a modulated space reverb pedal.

All of the above coming together to form the idea for a process.

Frugal3ty feat Marc Eisenschink and encym [disquiet0593]

I used the track:  HalF frugaL ( https://soundcloud.com/half-unusual/half-frugal-disquiet0593-featuring-marc-eisenschink-and-encym). Having downloaded the solo (twice), the duet & the trio, after carefully adjusting the dynamics, I arranged them in a canon-like sequence & then added a degree of reverb.

Disquiet Junto Project 0594: Threemix The Assignment: Remix an asynchronously produced trio.

I didn’t have a lot of time the past two weeks, so while I started a couple of things, I didn’t finish anything.
Going through these half developed sketches, to see if anything might be a good starting idea for this week’s remix challenge, I was drawn in by a loop I made using @Melondruie and @Fake-Genius piece Quietude Disturbed from week 2 (https://soundcloud.com/melondruie/quietude-disturbed-disquiet0592).
I thought the piece had a bit of a Burial feel to it, so as a sound design challenge, I tried to make a Burial kind of beat to go with it, using sounds I made tapping and scraping an old Zither I bought second hand (and that I mostly tend to use as a place to put my headphones, apparently).

Going through the playlist for week 3, I noticed that pieces based on @encym ’s week 2 contribution Tête à tête (https://soundcloud.com/encym/tete-a-tete-disquiet0592 built on the week 1 piece of @andreas-kitzmann) fit harmonically with Quietude Disturbed. Also, these pieces, and especially @RabMusicLab’s La tête éblouissante (https://soundcloud.com/rabmusiclab/la-tete-eblouissante) fit rather well stylistically. So, I wondered if I could mash these pieces up together in some way. At first, I intended not to use the Burial-esque beat, because… well… because it’s such a blatant ripoff. But by that time, I’d been hearing the loop for a while, and the sound had nested in my head: other rhythmic ideas didn’t cut it. Neither did doing away with a rhythmic element altogether.

So, there you have it.

trial and error message [disquiet0594] feat Leon Clowes, wasabicube, Gahlord Dewald

A phone recording of a wood by a lake near where I live, wind noise and all, filtered manually using a Morgasmatron and Q-PAS on separate passes. These 'performances' were layered and band limited. A short loop was then progressively un-band-limited, step-by-step. Very little of the original recording or filter performances remain in the final mix as the slightly hypnotic loop takes over.

You'll hear a few clicks and glitches that I was delighted crept in somehow!

You can see and hear the original phone recording on YouTube @ https://youtu.be/-6p8Kgo_KgI
