) Focus Pocus

earth lies
lights flip
picture changes
she's gone and buried
hopped to paradise big-bellied
god god have pity
the demons spiral like flies 
over a piece of cake
it whispers weakly: i am a phantom
maybe later i'll be

"Earth Lies"

The chord is A7 sus 4; the music is played by 21 STK instruments in ChucK. The overall gain gradually cycles via an LFO. On each pass, each instrument is randomly assigned a note. The LFO also influences the overall velocity for each note, which is drawn from a random distribution for each instrument on each play of the chord. The placement in the stereo field is also randomized. The length of each chord is also subject to a small degree of randomness. I run multiple overlapping versions of the code that use various inversions.

Disquiet0412 One Chord Wonder

20191123 One Chord (disquiet0412)

My entry for the 412th Disquiet Junto project, "One Chord Wonder". All sounds from Ableton Live sample instruments. I chose ACE - A minor - for my chord as it's my go to chord when I start projects and I owe it recognition. I've always liked that it spells ace. It's a dirt simple chord, but it holds up.

I recorded this Saturday morning, then listened again Sunday...thought it was messy in the middle, so didn't post it. Monday morning I decided I need to judge my own work less harshly, so I'm posting it. It's messy in the middle, but like ACE - it holds its own.

Made it just in time for this one. I had different grand ideas for how to go about this, but I was struggling to find the time to sit down and put something together. I really like the idea behind this task though. So, I didn't want to miss out if I couldn't do all these weird things I had in mind. I really like how it turned out nonetheless. Instead of changing the sources entirely more than once, I subtly evolve the different sounds over the course of the track. Was going for crushing and powerful and I think I got it okay. The chord I went with was an Ebm in just intonation voiced with the third at the top.
