Recorded this performance on the 17th of September with a hybrid setup (hardware modular and vcv).

Modular + VCV live performance

This is the first part of a 3-part collaboration for the Disquiet Junto. All the sounds used in this basic rhythm track (85bpm) are from a recent session where the numerous noises a bass guitar makes were recorded using a contact mic on the body of the bass rather than through the normal pickups.

Disquiet Junto Project 0599: Minimal(ist) Blend

How the sounds were created might best be described as follows: 
- Recorded 5 polyrhythmic guitar tracks (in 3, 4, 5 and 7) live, over the entire duration of the track ~3.5 minutes
- Disguised them, only allowing each to come to the fore occasionally
- Added up-front metallic sounds, single hit percussion and a bassy pad
- Mixed those ingredients to allow different aspects to shine in turn.

Thanks @disquiet and @tobiasreber for this inspiring prompt!

The Assignment: Using a speech-to-text tool, turn a field recording into instructions for a composition.

Written with ChatGPT to stay on topic :)

Hello everyone,

I trust you're all well. This week's assignment brought forth a truly original challenge. Regrettably, my attempts to fulfill it fell short. Despite trying out a couple of speech-to-text software applications, including subscribing to some, none proved capable of deciphering the speech within the field recordings I provided. In a rather bizarre turn of events, one of the apps glitched while processing the sound of church bells, resulting in the peculiar transcription captured in the attached image.

Undeterred by this setback, I decided to channel this odd occurrence into the heart of my creative process for the week's piece of music. Additionally, my explorations led me to a newfound fascination with an app discovered during my research: https://ttsfree.com/ and https://tuna.voicemod.net/.

In crafting my musical composition, I employed the familiar tools of FL Studio and the captivating Arturia instruments. As the week draws to a close, I extend my well-wishes to all for a restful and enjoyable weekend ahead.

Best regards,
noksidam

We Could Spend An Hour (disquiet0608)

Summer has passed, winter is approaching. Until the rains return, the creek is dry, but pools of water remain, here and there, where a few Bibron's Toadlets linger, croaking with a sound somewhat like glass marbles grating and rattling against one another. Small birds flutter down to drink water. Particular birds sighted were Grey Fantails and Red-capped Robins. If you listen carefully, you will hear the sounds of the water as they drink, while hovering in mid-air. Birds heard in the distance include Crimson Rosellas and Grey Currawongs.

A small token towards Earth Day 2024. Macrocosms are woven only out of microcosms. If the microcosms are well, the macrocosm will be well. An unattended recording made with a pair of FEL Clippies (Primo EM172s), draped, hanging, from a branch near the pool, into an F3. Occasional contact sounds are small birds landing on adjoining branches, and sometimes perhaps the branch from which the microphones dangle.

This is an excerpt from a longer recording, also posted here, at https://soundcloud.com/hearingbeings/20240406-small-birds-drinking-water-from-a-small-pool-autumn-long-version.

Recorded with respect upon the land of the Kaurna people.
