Disquiet Junto Project 0376: Pi Filling

Recorded for Disquiet Junto 0366 using samples of ice cubes in a glass recorded in my apartment in Amsterdam on 05/01/2019 using a Zoom H1 Handy Recorder, Digitakt to fuck with and sequence the sounds, Reaper to slice the original recordings and the final track itself

Ice Breaker (disquiet0366)

Recorded in Crécy-la-Chapelle with Elisa Guilleminet <3 for disquiet 0367 - a work in progress collaborative song

Using a synth-1 and vcv-rack. 
Bpm: 98,
Time signature: 4/4

Panned 100% left (as dictated by project rules)

Trio Initiate (disquiet0367)

Recorded for disquiet0368 using https://soundcloud.com/bearp-aw/the-11th-hour-disquiet0367?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0367

I added some percussion sounds using a digitakt (bpm: 60.5) and a further drone-y sound using a cooking video from youtube and paulstretch. 

My contribution is panned 100% to the right.

Engage Duo (disquiet0368)

I chose to work with mdh's Engage Duo
https://soundcloud.com/matthewh538/engage-duo-disquiet0368
and Bearp-aw's The 11th Hour.
https://soundcloud.com/bearp-aw/the-11th-hour-disquiet0367?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0367

I used an iPad app Gestrument pro to control a granular synth Spacecraft and a Fm percussion synth Ruismaker Noir and jammed along - headphones recommended .

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)

I made this piece for Pi day based on this weeks disquiet assignment

multiple different methods at play here using the numerical values of pi - whether used sequentially to create the speed of an lfo or the parameters on an effect, or as the parameters for a euclidean drum pattern generator i found online http://www.groovemechanics.com/euclid/. I also used the dialogue of a reading of the pi sequence from mushino on freesound https://freesound.org/people/mushino/sounds/455169/. Note data was taken from the MIDI files found at http://www.hlxx.de/hp/pifoengl.htm

NOTE: I really wasn't happy with the original mix so i re-jigged it a bit, made it so it didn't make me sad listening to it : )

Pi's Big Blunder - disquiet0376

for this track I used the first 20 digits of pi to create a sequence of four-note chords. I established a base note and then added the successive digits of pi to that base note in groups of four, as 

[base + 3, base+1, base+4, base+1] = first chord
[base + 1, base+4, base+1, base+5] = second chord

and so on. The individual notes are FM voice synthesis; I modulated the phoneme for each note randomly and played each voice for a randomized length of time. The chords are run through three delays set to different times and a reverb. The piece is coded in ChucK, available at my GitHub here:

disquiet0376 PiPad

My contribution to the Disquiet Junto project "Pi Filling". 
Recorded with Cubase Pro 9.5, Universal Audio Apollo Twin.

Dreams Of Pi

For my submission I took the first 12 numbers of pi and used them to create 4 groups of 3 note chords (314, 159, 265, 359). I then used those first 12 numbers to decide on key centres in which to play these 4 groups in...arbitrarily choosing A as 1 gave me C#, A, D, A, E, B, B, F#, E, C#, E, B. So the piece is just me playing guitar going through the four 3 note chord groups in order, through each of those keys in order, and then it ends. Repeating motifs naturally emerge using this method but I used variations in voicings, voice leading, and right hand picking to give it some structure. 

I had some slightly grander schemes in mind, but in the end I knew that I would not have any other time before Monday to record anything, so I kept it fairly simple. Too much reverb is used to somewhat disguise the fact that the only guitar that I have to hand today has ancient strings and a few tuning issues!
