Feedback Filterbank (disquiet0595)

the task came at the right time
i've been working on the moog matriarch for days
especially patches with different modulation sources and destinations
so:
matriarch in drone mode
sample & hold out modulated via attenuator filter cut of 1 & 2
wave out modulates stereo delay time in 1
then played around a bit with cut off, resonance and spacing

i love my matriarch

take a filter ride(disquiet0595)

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.

This is my submission for this week's Disquiet Junto assignment inspired by the work of Éliane Radigue.

Agediale Ruin [disquiet0595]

I'm still getting to know the Osmose but wanted to force myself to create a patch and record a piece with the instrument. In this patch two static oscillators, slightly detuned, are fed into two filter banks panned hard left and right. The key pressure contracts the spread of the resonant frequencies of the filter banks. This performance consists of a single slow key press moving as smoothly as possible given my aging joints.

Part of Disquiet Junto 0595: Filter Progression

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.

For this track, I used a single chord run through a QPAS filter, which was pinged by gates coming from an Eas, generated by a number of shifting envelopes.

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

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.

Inspired by this interview with Eliane Radigue https://youtu.be/dByqwi7Jvbo in which she talks about her unique approach to sound and listening, I set out to incorporate the following very deliberate intentions in this week's Disquiet ‘Filter Progression’ challenge:

*listening with focused attention to the way sounds evolve as I interact with them
*consciously doing things more slowly than I usually would attempt to
*holding in mind the idea of 'inhabited silence' - which was a wonderful phrase that emerged from the above interview 
*investigating and exploring hidden colours within the sounds
*paying attention to parallel inward and outward listening - how does my body react to the discovered sounds as they unfold?

The 'held sound' that I chose to work with was a recording of a running tap, recorded on a houseboat where I am staying on the river Thames for a few days at the moment.

I fed the audio through VCV rack via the Chronoblob delay module to add a bit more spectral material to modulate. I then assigned the cutoff frequency and Q controllers from the VCV Sinensis module to a couple of knobs on my Microfreak hardware so that I could interact more physically with the sounds as I modulated the frequencies in real time.

This was a fairly massive deviation from the way I habitually approach listening and sound creation but I found it hugely fun and rewarding to engage with this particular challenge and to discover more about Eliane and her quietly radical work.

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.

Eight Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0595” (no spaces or quotation marks) in the name of your tracks.

Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag “disquiet0595” (no spaces or quotation marks). If you’re posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to subsequent location of tracks for the creation of a project playlist.

Step 3: Upload your tracks. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your tracks.

Step 4: Post your track in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:
