Great! I like all this small but rich sounds filling the space...

Nice piece. I love the sustained thing at the end.

Disquiet Junto Project 0591: The Loneliest Number
The Assignment: Record the first third of a trio.

Experimenting a bit more with feedback after last week’s DisquietJunto.
From a longer recording of these experiments I stitched together different sections, choosing mainly ones that were relatively sparse, in order to leave room for more layers.

Practical info: Although the use of envelopes and filters makes the sounds mostly percussive, I did use specific notes/chords to create them, and so it may be useful to know these:
Am7 (a-c-e-g); B/A (a-d#-f#-b); G+/A (a-b-d#-g). Notes are from the A dorian #4 scale (mode of E harm minor).
The tempo is 78.5 bpm.

Disquiet Junto Project 0591: The Loneliest Number
 The Assignment: Record the first third of a trio.
Please note: While this is the start of a three-part project, you can participate in one, two, or all three of the parts, which will occur over the next three weeks.

Step 1: This week’s Junto project is the first in a sequence intended to encourage and reward collaboration. You will be recording something with the understanding that it will remain unfinished for the time being. Your part will be done, but more will happen. Read on.

Step 2: The plan is for you to record a short and original piece of music using any instrumentation of your choice. Conceive the piece as something that leaves room for something else — other instruments, other people — to join in.

Step 3: Record a short piece of music, roughly two to three minutes in length, as described in Step 2.

Step 4: This is important: be sure to make your track downloadable because it may be used by someone else in the next Disquiet Junto project, and then after that.

Disquiet Junto Project 0592: Better Than One
The Assignment: Record the second third of an asynchronous trio.

I chose https://soundcloud.com/forelight/locrian-x-disquiet0591 by https://soundcloud.com/forelight because I always like drones. 'Locrian' seemed to be the name of a drone band which tends to make apocalyptic music, so I looked for cataclysmic sounds (bass and partly rhythmic noise) and added them. I think there is plenty room for beats, vocals, solos.

Disquiet Junto Project 0599: Minimal(ist) Blend
The Assignment: Make a piece of music that combines self-contained minimalist parts.
More info on Disquiet Junto: disquiet.com/0599

For this submission I started with percussions and wanted to use my modular for sequencing, but I changed my plans and decided to do it with Ableton and my Zoom H5 instead.
Since I play bass as a main instrument this time I decided to explore the higher part of the spectrum of frequencies. 
I started recording seven loops (parts) using different instruments: a cuban clave, a home-made shaker, a singing bowl, a pair of Tingsha (tibetan cymbals), bamboo sticks, some sheep bells and an african metal rattle. Ended up with something that reminds me of the hidden life in a meadow, a wood or a small pond, thus the title Microskopios. 

I started with a simple clave rhythm in 15/8 subdivided 4+3+4+4 at 101.96 BPM and heavily processed it. Pitched it up 36 semitones and then sculpt it with EQ, Compressors, Lagrange, Grain Strain, Echo and Void.
I then recorded bamboo sticks hitting them with the clave while they were on the floor following the 4+3+4+4 division, pitched them down 24 semitones and processed with Phaser, Slink Pan and Springs. 
Then I improvised some patterns with the home made shaker and the metal rattle. 
The shaker is pitched 31 semitones down, panned 10L and has Erosion, Saturator, Ego and Romb as effects. 
The rattle is modified with Corpus, GongAmp, Filterjam and ValhallaPlate. It's paned 30R.
I added the singing bowl and tingsha at the end. 
Singing bowl is split into two channels, one without effects, panned 25L 25R and the other panned 25L, pitch shifted down 24 semitones and processed with GrainSpace and Chorus-Ensemble.
Tingsha is just effected with a little bit of GrainSpace.
