Trio (disquiet0369)

Recorded for disquiet0369 building upon https://soundcloud.com/notsevenism/left-disquiet0367 and https://soundcloud.com/aalanzaa/disquiet0368-left-right?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0368

I used vcv-rack to manipulate the original sounds and to add random plucky sounds in using the Turing Machine.

Dialogue and image come from La Jetée which I had been dreaming of the previous night

My contribution is panned in the center.

Final Solo (disquiet0369)

A vague memory from a trip years ago to the Ontario Science Centre inspired this auditory illusion. With quotes from The Origin of Species (Darwin) and from Report N° 3211000RAE00-A: Hair Volume Measurement(Bolero) - Evaluation of 4 Products.

Op Art Arpeggios (Disquiet0410)

This track is a response to a challenge from the Disquiet Junto: "What does the sonic equivalent of Op Art sound like?" 

In this piece, I first composed a small symphonic riff - and then cut everything up in pieces, like seeing a picture through a grid or a comb, to see if the idea of the original would "peek through" - or maybe even change character. I think it changed quite a bit; some parts gained importance, other disappeared and some got almost too intrusive. But I actually like it better like this... :)

disquiet0410 - broken syncphony

Using an image Jelie sent me from a mountain retreat I loaded it into Photosounder.
I then inverted it to get a more traditional OP black and white image. I then used the black and white tools to draw trees using the tools. 

I then took the inverted image’s sound, duplicated and reversed it. I then took the “drawn” inverted images sound, duplicated and reversed it. Using these 4 sounds I grouped them in Live to a looper and EQ.

I then dialed in some drums on the Roland DJ 808 drum sequencer for the 606, 707,808, 909 drum banks. I then used the MIDI fighter routed to a drum kit with a looper to capture a phrase that I then folded into the group Loop chain.

SnowTree OP disquiet0410

SnowTree OP disquiet0410 (cut down tree)

Uploaded as part of the Junto Disquiet 0410.

Using audio illusions to create sonic expression... I've just realised I forgot the part about expression though.

It is a M4L implementation of this Glissando Illusion: http://deutsch.ucsd.edu/psychology/pages.php?i=205
