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.

Merle Bardenoir, he_nu_ri & blaaroed - The Middle Path [disquiet0639]

This Ableton Live-devised piece takes its title 'Tall,' from the first word of a haiku poem by John Hinks, a regular contributor of music and poetry to this Naviar community, who has recently passed away. Thank you for your gifts of art, @flownblue.

'Tall, wide-arching trees
Assume a cathedral shape
Until darkness falls'
 
I found out today that John passed away. John participated in the Naviar Haiku challenge for over 4 years, almost every week, and shared both his music and poetry with us. He'll be deeply missed.

"John Hinks, aka FlownBlue, was a prolific and talented composer, and a regular participant in the Haiku challenge. Aside from his solo project, John was also involved in multiple projects: ‘Windfall Light‘ (with Jim Tetlow), ‘Abstract Blue‘ (with Kevin Buckland), ‘Light Fragments‘ (with Steve Escott), Szukanie (with Michał Wojciechowski), and Meadowlight (with Emma Reed)."

Cold Like My Heart - Disquiet0471

Music is not only a hobby, but a place of refuge.  
There are mostly ios creations but I'll play some guitar and what not here and there.  Sound is a giant sand box.  On going battle with hoarding got me an odd collection of instruments which I should learn how to record better.  I would be interested in more collaborations so inbox me if interested.  Good thing it wasn't the Apocalypse theres too much cool music I still have to hear :)
