This is my first participation in the Disquiet Junto since 2013! and my second time doing the ice project.

I recorded ice in two different glasses, swirling and pouring them back and fourth. Re-recorded the initial tracks through a Line6 DL4 pedal for looping and delay. Then re-record those tracks through a BYOC 855 Drive pedal for some crunch and tone changes. I chopped up sections from all of those tracks but mostly left longer segments of "performance". Then peppered in a time-stretched and reversed version of the original ice sounds. 

A much different approach from my last ice attempt, which was just different rhythmic loops pulled from a short recording and layered.

disquiet0412 instructs one to pick a chord and create a piece of music in which the notes remain the same while the instrumentation changes. For this I chose to experiment within Sonic Pi (http://sonic-pi.net)

I first chose a chord: Am/9.  There is a guitar voicing that I’m fond of because it reminds me of tacky tv drama moments when it’s arpeggiated: A E B C E A. I sampled single notes from 6 different voices on my Casio SA-7 in ProTools: Ocarina, Violin, Pearl Drop, Marimba, Chorus, and Tuba. I then wrote a very simple program in Sonic Pi that plays the six samples with varying rhythm, envelopes, and panning.

I also created six synths within Sonic Pi using built in synth voices: :growl, :dark_ambience, :dpulse, :pretty_bell, :dull_bell, and :tri. Each synth was assigned a note of the chord, again with varying rhythms, envelopes, and panning. 

I then recorded an improvised live-coding of the 12 sound sources, starting and stopping each to add some human element to the piece in terms of structure.

This was my first disquiet contribution in a couple years. Glad it's still going. Check out Sonic Pi if you're interested in live coding. There's decent built in tutorials and it's super easy to make intro-level experiments like this one.

Disquiet0412 - One Chord Wonder

Submitted for the fifty fifth Disquiet Junto project. Source material comes from two Nils Frahm piano recordings. There are two sections, A and B. In A, segments of sustain from "Do" were extracted and stitched together, played forward in the left channel and reversed in the right channel.  In B, segments of sustain from "Re" were extracted and stitched together, played forward in the right channel and reversed in the left channel. Mechanical noise was extracted from each track and layered into the two sections following their source track. The two sections transition from A to B ("Do" to "Re") in the middle 30 or so seconds.
