Well done for the goals you set and for the execution!

I ended up a bit pressed for time for this Junto, but I couldn't not do it; the trios are my absolute favorites.

I woke up at 2am, and because I couldn't get back to sleep, I listened through the #disquiet0592 playlist to hear the duos. I loved what was going on with "7 Hallucinations", and decided that what would complete it would be a temo-synced generative patch from RIpplemaker, which just happened to be tuned a major seventh away from the track's tonal center. 

I loaded the track into AUM's sample player, routed it and the Ripplemaker patch to a mix bus, and then recorded the mix bus. I then tweaked the tempo of the AUM session to clock Ripplemaker at a sort of stumbling rhythm against the original, and let the patch run, fading it up and down as needed, adding a "electrical systems failing, flickering overhead lights" feel on top of the already very spacy track.

File was transferred to iCloud with AudioShare, and then downloaded to my Mac to allow me to add the metadata with Fission. The actual recording, mixing, and everything else all happened on the iPad, lying in bed. That is probably my personal record for being laid back while working on music.

"I was completely enthralled by Andreas', Roland's, and Wilfried's musical 'answer' to the last Junto assignment (0593 -- a trio recorded at 'asynchronous' times and places). I lovingly dissected their sonic opus, and concocted My own answer to this week's Junto challenge -- 0594, the 'Threemix.'

I first diced the intro of Andreas' initial, guitar loop, kept only its first two 'notes,' expanded and looped them to 64.35 BPM -- and repeated them throughout the piece.

encym's guitar meanderings were sliced into brief phrases. I ended up with thirty of them, yet used only two of them to offset Andreas' forceful drones. Also featured are two improv sections of His at very low volumes, in order to suggest an subtle 'undulation' in the piece.

encym's tonality was originally pitched one semitone higher ('Western-scale'); thus, I lowered (pitch-shifted) it a single semitone. The result is consonance.

(One of My fave 'happy accidents' occured while isolating a brief, percussive 'dink' during encym's guitar part [a fingering error?]; that dink -- when saturated, and run through a slap-back and ping-pong delay series -- provided a 'drum' beat that backed the piece.)

As the work nears its cadence, enter Wilfried, with His wond'rous 'theremin' riff, of which I isolated one recorded flourish, and repeated it four times. The motif He played introduces itself at a low volume level, fed through two delays and a reverb, which deepened in intensities as the motifs progressed. 

What makes this piece special for Me is the highly complex -- and joyfully painstaking -- effects automations I crafted throughout it. It took hours of mathematical computations, and programming, in order to make the piece -- itself seemingly 'simple' and 'droney' -- to 'sound' so complex."

"Disquiet Junto Project 0594: 'Threemix'

The Assignment: Remix an asynchronously produced trio.

Step 1: You’re going to make a remix of a track from the most recent Disquiet Junto project, which was a collection of trios constructed over the course of three weeks. Listen through the playlist, and check out any additional tracks in the discussion forum:

https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0593

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0593-the-charm/

Step 2: You might elect to use some of the constituent parts of the series, so do seek out the solo and duet that led to your chosen trio and feel free to employ those, too. Check out the respective llllllll.co threads:

Disquiet Junto Project 0595: Filter Progression
The Assignment: Make music by processing a static sound.

[…] The numbers that form the first harmonics conform to the universe as our senses can perceive it. They form the legitimate human field in the magic world of sounds - the field that is open to us through the physical laws we depend on and the organs we posses, which are themselves in conformity with these laws. - A. Daniélou (Music and the Power of Sound p.26)

Harmonics are at the root of sounds as we perceive them. Their series and the possibilities given from the interaction with a filter inspired me to work with the first eleven harmonics of the series starting from the note A3 (A, A, E, A, C#, E, G, A, B, C, D#) I gradually added notes, raised filter cutoff, resonance and the volume of one of the two filters I used to get crescendo .
Today, 27th May is also Drone Day. Happy droning y'all!

I started off recording the series with 0-coast into Morphagene as a series of splices; due to the limits of range of 0-coast’s oscillator I transposed the last 3 notes of the series down one octave. Morphagene output went into QPAS’ low pass and smile pass outputs. Low pass output goes to right channel of XOH. Smile output goes into Mimeophon in green zone, then XOH’s left channel. 
As for modulation there are 3 sources: one sine LFO coming from Blue Marvin osc 2 set to minimum value, then into a mult that goes to QPAS Radiate left in and to Mimeophon Rate in and µ in. Wogglebug sends Smooth to a mult to go to Qpas Q, !¡!¡ and Radiate right inputs. QPAS freq 1 input is modulated by 0-coast slope circuit passed in its Voltage Math section and triggered by Wogglebug’s Int Clock out.
In Ableton I just added a bit of Shimmer to give some sparks.

Disquiet Junto Project 0597: Goal Line
The Assignment: Get started on a plan by getting over getting started.
More info on Disquiet Junto: disquiet.com/0597

Every goal is made of two elements: the first step and perseverance. 
I wanted to experiment creating glitch drums, with irregular lenghts and tempo changes. I then tried to integrate modular synths with it through midi clock via 0-Coast. Most of the work was done in and through Ableton, and came out as a chaotic piece of electronic music. I think there's still some work to do to make smoother tempo changes and loops transitions but I'm satisfied; maybe it'll lead to new material, maybe not: at least I learnt new techniques and reminded forgotten ones.

I started with a drum rack created with DS Kick, DS Clap, DS Hi-hat and two processed hits and a snare made off a field recording of an engine made in 1903 of a steamboat. I used beat repeat quite heavily and used Bathrööm reverb for the whole drum kit. I then created 8, 7, 3 1/2, 2, 1, 1/2 bars patterns and used Follow Action to program a random beat at 138 BPM. 
After recording it I automated master tempo, combining 69 BPM and 102 BPM. 
I then used 0-Coast to send midi clock to 0-Ctrl that sequenced two ARP2600 clone sine oscillators to create a bass. 
I added some heavily processed audio samples and Plucked Harp Effects to add some "melodic"/atmospheric voices.

Problema Tecnico (disquiet0597)

Mix of multiple recordings of a dub techno patch I've been working on - four recordings are
- Direct into Ableton live
- Tascam DR-05X pointing out the window
- Phone inside the room
- Laptop just outside the room 

Mixed together in ableton with some volume adjustments and manual volume automation to cycle between these recordings.
