The Visitation of the Swarm (disquiet0502)

Disquiet Junto Project 0502: Global Swarming. The Assignment: Create a swarm of imaginary insects.

I used a fistful of insects from 0494 and 0498, threw them in a generative mixing setup in Ableton, exported it to stems, added changing reverbs (for room) and tempo (for doppler effect) and EQ for the illusion of coming and flying on, with a little panning in the middle (for being orbited). The result was way to long, this is the short version and I think it's good – and somehow scary.

FlyBy [disquiet0502]

a project in collaboration with the 2021 Musikfestival Bern -  “schwärme”

the sound of a swarm of insects approaching, gathering mass, and then passing you

Swarm [disquiet0502]

This was fun! A challenge to create a track purely from distorted voices. I had a bunch of vocal samples laying around so I thought, why not?

I used all inbuilt Ableton effects; starting with the whispers, reversed, and adding a filter delay. 
Then the 'drums' - a chopped up sample, with 'loop off beat' and 'brute compression' added. This was hard to mix!
The more natural 'ooo' has a phaser (phased and confused)
The glitchy, trebl-y squeak and the deep bass are that same 'ooo' transposed way up/way down.

Disquiet Junto Project 0513

Ghosts of the Equatorial Stars [disquiet0513]

I combined undermulden's Coast at Møns Klint (disquiet0516) and Krakenkraft's Outside In: A Washing Machine [disquiet0517].  Both feature water.

undermulden's track was left alone and mixed down a bit.  Krakenkraft's track was duplicated several times, rearranged for a more consistent rhythm, and made a bit louder.  The washing machine "arrangement" gets louder as the track progresses, particularly at the 27 second mark.
