SONG 80 - DisquietJunto0690 - Knot Bad

I've not posted a Disquiet Junto track since project #646 about a year ago but did try in January but was locked out of this Soundcloud. I'm at home today with a bit of free time so thought why not - now i've been able to get back into Soundcloud. Enjoyed making this, the idea to unravel Ravel was too good to pass up. I imagine my approach isn't very original- I just cut up the source audio and added effects and cut some frequencies in the source. I then slowed the tempo down as the tracks progresses which created gaps and space in the audio clips which I had already locked in place. The gaps fill with the reverb and delay and late on I added some choir sounds to give the piece a new dimension and direction which I liked. 

More info on this challenge here: 
Disquiet Junto Project 0691: Un-Ravel
The Assignment: Make a recording of a string quartet fall apart.

Step 1: Download the first movement of the Ravel string quartet at this URL: https://bit.ly/un-ravel

The original source is the Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/3-capet-sq-col-d-15057-60-ravel-1928-mov-3/

Step 2: Listen to the track closely.

Step 3: Create a new piece of music by employing the provided recording as source material. The goal for your piece is that it should make the Ravel sound like it is falling apart — that is, like it is unraveling, or un-Ravel-ing.

Tasks Upon Completion:

Label: Include “disquiet0691” (no spaces/quotes) in the name of your track.

Upload: Post your track to a public account (SoundCloud preferred but by no means required). It’s best to focus on one track, but if you post more than one, clarify which is the “main” rendition.

Share: Post your track and a description/explanation at https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0691-un-ravel/

11 samples created from looping short sections taken from a pre-existing piece entitled 'Narrative' [ https://soundcloud.com/xiiixxi/narrative ]. The volume of each continuously sounding loop is auto-faded in and out using a pair of linked oscillators in addition to being shaped to bring each to the front once at least once throughout the duration of the piece.

The 700th Week of Disquiet Junto! 
Just after lunch I read this weeks challenge and was looking at my computer the window directly ahead of me! I snapped the photo and decided to record out the window for about 10 minutes. 
You don't see much from my window, a green fence / shed with a defunct biomas unit inside, part of my car is visable. The windows are quite dirty, there are trees at the top of the photo. 
I live in a rural spot, nothing about expect fields and trees and I was drawn to the addiotnal line of info 'Brief can be neighborly'  - As I have no neighbours I wanted the field recording to be central and the wind was nice but I put some effects on these sounds and just started to play around with notes and keys until this nice slow track took shape.  There is a nice airplane about 2 minutes in.  I was looking out the window all afternoon as I made this, watching the leaves and branches swaying away!   

Disquiet Junto Project 0700: View Frame
The Assignment: Share the view and some sounds inspired by the view.

Step 1: Take a photo out your window, with a little bit of the frame in view. Show people a glimpse of your world.

Step 2: Record a short, simple piece of music inspired (or otherwise informed) by what you see.
