Sample Challenge #332 (Wasteland)

sound art for disquiet0630

I made a sculpture specifically for this project by collecting things on a walk and assembling them, then recording, on only one day.

I used the leftover objects to rub, scrape and clang. Everything you hear is litter.

This project was proposed by Alex (aka XHG) from Switzerland, who also drew the cover image.

Tone Textures (disquiet0631)

This week, I made a drone in D with three oscillators and Rings.
These are processed through lubadh, clouds, various delays and reverb, with lots of modulation, including rhythmic elements which come in later.  I started out with one tone and then gradually introduce and adjust the elements so the drone slowly dances.

Triangle Slap (disquiet0631)

This week's Disquiet Junto prompt was "Take one held tone and make it dance slowly."

I thought this would be challenging, but really it all came together very quickly!

I thought about what dancing means (motion?) and tried to imagine ways a long held tone could "move" slowly. 

I came up with three main ways:
0:00 - 0:53 - a slowly moving bandpass filter followed by Abletons' stock Echo plug-in (the resonance of the filter immediately introduces an overtone that is not the held note, but hey don't blame me I didn't invent physics)
0:54 - 1:18 - Using a vibrato plug-in at about 50% wet/dry to slowly move the tone and town by cents
1:19 - 2:33 - Using tremolo to add a lot of motion - the tone is doubled, panned L and R, and tremolo'd at different rates to make it dance across the stereo field (the slowness of the dancing is debatable here, but the intent is there!)
2:34 - 2:58 - This is the opening phrase of the piece, but accompanied by an echo blast from the tremolo'd section that fades out

All in all, a ton of fun! I never in a million years would have tried something like, so this was a great experiment.

"Take one held tone and make it dance slowly." (Disquiet0631)

Here it is. The first 8 tracks and the first installment of a three-part, eventually 36-track-long, mixtape trilogy. I created it in dedication and as an homage to the original Grey Album, which Danger Mouse created 21 years ago. This is also something of a love letter to music in general and everything it has done for me and saved me from. Volume Two (12 tracks) will be out in the coming weeks, and Volume Three (16 tracks) a few weeks after that. Thank you for listening.
