the imagined sound that rocks inside a mountain might hear as a rainstorm passes over...

Rocks Inside A MountainListenToTheRainOutside(NaviarHaiku487)

SO inspired by Marc Eisenschink’s Enner performance over encym’s wonderful guitar starting point! Ableton’s Tension synth adds a forward and backward dimension to complete this collaborative trio …

halF frugaL [disquiet0593] featuring Marc Eisenschink and encym

This track is the third and final part of a Disquiet Junto Project 0593 - to add a third part to a duo that has been created by other Disquiet members.
The left channel is Andreas Kitzmann's track (https://soundcloud.com/andreas-kitzmann-27370936/disquiet0591?si=f7143a5ee5bd411a9af9e73c7d7e0630&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing). The right was added by encym resulting in  "Tête-à-Tête" (https://soundcloud.com/encym/tete-a-tete-disquiet0592?si=5cfeed87321c44dbb80034a8d1ae91bc&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing)
I have added a central melodic theme to this haunting drone with a vocal glide patch in Arturia Pigments.

tête à tête à tête [Disquiet0593]

As I found myself tremendously inspired by Glitcher's and SinnySounds' evocative "Somebody's Home", I proceeded to layer sparse electric guitar tones through Chase Bliss Mood and Moog MurF, recording and removing, listening and listening deeper, in order not to diminish the gorgeous sparseness of the original duo arrangement. 
Some of the experimental improvs yielded some percussion sounds (all played on guitar), and I felt these lent themselves perfectly for concluding the piece. At the eleventh hour, I recorded some electric bass swells to beef up the lower frequencies,  about two thirds of the way in.

Here's the source duo file onto which I overdubbed my tracks, thanks guys for coming up with such a creativity-fuelling duo composition: https://soundcloud.com/sinnysounds/somebodys-home-disquiet0592

Enjoy!

Homecoming (Glitcher & SinnySounds & encym for Disquiet0593)

in dream world
was I laughing at a turtle?
winter seclusion

Among the four great masters of Japanese haiku, Kobayashi Issa was the most prolific: during his lifetime he wrote over 20,000 haiku, hundreds of tanka, and several haibun. If you want to find out more about this prolific author I suggest you check out this database of his haiku.

From the Haiku Guy website:

“Perhaps Issa’s dream is symbolic. Like a turtle, he is hunkered inside his shell (hut), waiting out the harsh winter weather. Or, William Nicholas offers a different interpretation, noting that the turtle is linked with good luck and longevity in Japan. In 1812 Issa was still a bachelor; he married two years later. At this point in his life he longed for the good luck of marriage and family life, hence the dream turtle’s teasing laughter?”

was i laughing [naviarhaiku488]

This creation is for the Disquiet Junto Project 0598: Mixmaster Mic.
The Assignment: Record the same sound with multiple mics; mix the results.
The sounds: improvised on the F integral handpan for 15 minutes based on a rhythm that came into my head while riding the stationary bike and watching Picard. Then improvised on the Cajon for 5 minutes based on the recent memory of the previous handpan session. 
Mic setup for handpan: condensor mic, cardiod dynamic mic, zoom handheld stereo recorder, gopro camera, organelle device set to a chorus effect at 50% wet, magnetic contact pickup attached to the handpan. For Cajon: The two microphones and the organelle. 
Process: stacked all the tracks and muted sporadically. Then muted more and more. Cut a few sections of the session for length. 
Thoughts: This was a great way to add some variation to a recording. I enjoyed the process and much of the results. I hope to use the process, or one like it, again. 
Fun things I heard: the sound of the floor creaking, the dog barking, my feet stomping. Happy accidents when the cajon and pan kind of lined up well even though they weren't played together.

Mixmaster Mic Percussion Improv - [Disquiet0598]

I set a track to record from the master track while I randomly switched back and forth between the 7 stems using the solo button on the different tracks.  Then made three tracks of this new recording, one original, one where I'm playing with warping, and the last I'm playing with "pitch hack" (a Max 8 effect in Ableton).  Then I did the same thing with these 3 tracksthat I did with the original 7: switched randomly between them and recorded the result.

The leap

The quiet comedown — a soft crash into emotion after the high. Glowing pads, submerged rhythm, and that unmistakable TRMNL haze.
