calming, meditative, Tibetan feel to this...

the further i want under, the more detail i heard.

For this challenge:
Instructions: Construct a Sound Haiku from a series of two-second “syllables” made from recordings you have captured. A traditional haiku is a poem written in three sections of ﬁve syllables, seven syllables, and then ﬁve syllables. Only seventeen syllables in all. Your audio recordings should be arranged into three sections of ten seconds, fourteen seconds, and then ten seconds, with each section separated by a pause of four seconds of silence.

the "recordings I captured" is me playing notes on instruments (organ, piano, synthesizer) , so:

00:00 First sentence, 5 notes (G-E-C-D-Bb)
00:10 Pause
00:14 Second sentence, 7 notes (A-Bb-G-F-C-E)
00:29 Pause
00:33 Third sentence, 5 notes (G-Bb-E-C-F)

I added a final D minor chord, just for the sake of it. Sorry for that. (the haiku should end at 00:48 really)


composed and performed by DD in Paris, France on Friday 26th March 2021 during the morning.

"I had just purchased a new audio plug-in -- Drip, and wished to try it out. I did not want to test it on any former projects' tracks of mine, so I opted to open a new file on my DAW. Then, I saw Marc's email detailing this week's disquiet junto project.

I downloaded and imported the audio file authored by Chris Kallmyer, and listened to it three times, choosing what portion to edit out and use as a soundbed. I cut a chosen section out, and edited it down to a usable musical measure; the tempo approximated 70.56 beats-per-minute.

I copied and pasted seventeen repetitions of it side by side, and I then effected it with a Blue Cat chorus, SoundToys' MicroShift, and a lush and lovely reverb called Oril River. I automated the reverb to venture from 100% dry to 100% wet over the course of the seventeen bars to give the idea that the chime-bed was fading far-off into the distance over the course of the tune.

I then accidentally found some scraps of audio on my DAW workbench and took them to be happy accidents. I used them, editing out singular tones and rather brief passages. I placed them at the beginning, middle, and end of the soundbed, merely following instinct as I went, eventually forming a coherent composition, which reminded me of clock-chiming; thus, the name of the work.

Funny thing is, I forgot to test and utilize my new Drip plug-in. LOL!"

Disquiet Junto Project 0467: Toolbox Show & Tell. The Assignment: Share a tip for making music that you learned during the pandemic.

80% of my music started on a cheap android DAW app called "Caustic". The sound is not perfect, but I like the workflow. Anyway, since 1 year or so I try to switch to Ableton Live. Because of the lockdown I had a lot of time to flatten the learning curve with this DAW.

My tip is about "Follow Action", to bee seen in the Clip Editor. Follow Action allows a clip to trigger other clips by probability, in the screen example of the track cover there is "play again" with prob 1, "play any other" with prob 2. The clip is one of of many clips which only contains some note on a scale or a chord.

Normally I somehow reject pure generative music, although I place a lot of value on chance in my own. It always seemed dishonorable to me to let a software (that I didn't write myself) generate music and claim this music to be "mine".

However, with "Follow Action" I have the possibility to achieve an (in my opinion) honorable mix of probabilities and composition.

In this case, there are different tracks with different signatures and different Gongs in A minor. I even added "empty" clips to get some "silence" into it. The probabilty for the different tracks differs, one could for example use one track to establish sequencial clip triggers, to include motives that are bigger than inside a bar.

(And please consider "honorable" a way to big word here…)

the PERSON, the SOUND : Since 1985, Philadelphia-born Michael has composed and released hundreds of audio recordings, and published dozens of [erotic] poems.

His 'sonic-sojourn' began suddenly when he was just a teen -- feet splashing rhythmically through puddles leftover by a seaside rainstorm. Having just parted ways with the then-love-of-his-life, Michael composed his first ballad [and first song] ever -- "Tina." He rushed to his beach-side home to record his visceral 'awakening' on a tiny micro-cassette recorder, and vowed -- from that day on -- to create art for the rest of his life.

He began zealously amassing used music equipment, and had built a modest home recording studio by age seventeen, all the while crafting simple pop, ambient, and experimental works that HE had wanted to listen to -- that HE had wanted to hear, affectionately emulating the works of his then-idols, Duran Duran and Brian Eno.

Now, decades later, he has relocated to a small village outside Atlanta, Georgia, and continues to voraciously attend to his dream as a young, heartbroken boy -- to create and release music that he, himself, wants to hear.

Although no longer sequestered to pop and ambient musics, Michael's signature sound has merged the two, having integrated the R&B, hiphop, and psychedelia he has grown to love as a older gent -- having absorbed the edgy rhythms and dreamy soul of the southern United States (Atlanta and Miami).

Michael still puts forth ample amounts af ambient musics, but his recent 'sound' hovers elsewhere -- somewhere amidst the genres of vaportrap, spacerock, and trip-hop.
