[disquiet0595] Minority

This track was inspired by the Disquiet Junto Project 0595 (details see below): I used a second-hand dictaphone to create a fieldrecording of the ventilation in our toilet. Then I built parallel tracks by applying different filters and a resonator to this recoding. Nothing else was added.

[…] 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.

The Assignment: Make music by processing a static sound.

I used a field recording of static rain in Munich from 2021 or so, on four tracks identically. All of them got filtered thru Cardinal VST, a very nice VCV Rack alternative, working as an effect, so that I could apply nested LFOs and parameter curves to the stereo filters (1x lowpass, 1x highpass, 2x bandpass) and it's resonances. The whole mix was filtered by apesoft apefilter for dramaturgy reasons.

There was a 1 hour version but I cut it down to 10 minutes because even I could not stand it that long, but with 10 minutes it's nice. Without the junto rule set I think I would have applied more elements.

The Assignment: Make music by processing a static sound.

This project is the second of three that are being done in collaboration with the 2023 Musikfestival Bern, which will be held in Switzerland from September 6 through 10. The topic this year is « √ » — as the organization explains: “the radical, or square root symbol and the power of its symbolism are central to the festival and these will be translated into music in multifarious ways.” All three projects will engage with the work of Éliane Radigue, who is the Composer-in-Residence for the 2023 festival.

We are working at the invitation of Tobias Reber, an early Junto participant, who is in charge of the educational activities of the festival. This is the fifth year in a row that the Junto has collaborated with Musikfestival Bern.

Select recordings resulting from these three Disquiet Junto projects may be played and displayed throughout the festival.

Step 1: Choose a static sound, such as a field recording of a specific place, or a held tone, or a recording of noise.

Step 2: Experiment with animating the static sound selected from Step 1 by slowly, subtly, manually modulating it, using only filter frequency and resonance.

Step 3: Record a track resulting from the techniques you developed in Step 2.

Monsuta Study [disquiet0595]

A Disquiet Junto assignment: subtly alter the frequency filter and resonance of a field recording. In this case, a recording of the beach at Saltcoats.
