The Assignment: Record a 20-second clip of the sounds of an insect that you yourself have invented.

after spending some lovely evenings outside with various insects and frogs talking with each other, i imagined what it would be like to record a similar chorus in an foggy alien landscape, perhaps shifting crystalline critters under the sulfuric clouds of venus.

process:
- recorded 2 minutes of pingpong echos on Moog Matriarch, twisted up by Intellijel Rainmaker
- clipped and arranged with Synthstrom Deluge
- mastering/fx in Reaper

insect menagerie

insect menagerie -- disquiet0494

a meeting of two swarms that is exploratory, chaotic, and largely friendly

process: mashed up the offerings from dirigent2 and uforika from the previous disquiet junto using borderlands granular on the ipad, with the intention of showing the two swarms as individuals that slowly merge together

derived from these:

d3cød3r experimentation with Δ drones

[α] batumi and maths drive
[β] dixie 2 + rubicon + harmonic multiplier + clouds in lead
[γ] rubicon + rings in background
[δ] analog replicator for extra spice
[ε] light audacity edits

Δ drøne 0.1.3

techno experiment, straight out of the modular.

- Intellijel Metropolis provides clock and drives Intellijel Rubicon
- main synth audio: Rubicon sub -> A-103 VCF6 -> Polaris -> uVCA2
- main synth envelope: Mutable Instruments Tides
- filter envelopes and modulation: Make Noise Maths, XAOC Batumi
- 4ms RCD drives the drums
- kick: Bastl Tea Kick, snare: Mutant Snare, crash: Bastl Noise Square + Skis
- drums are mixed into a Bastl Quattro Figaro

metrotechno

ornament + crime --> 1v/oct Tides/Parasites [two bumps] --> A103
o_C w/viznutcracker/ monks; and regular slow trigger
slow modulation on o_C, Tides and A103
Xaoc Batumi + Make Noise Maths on modulation duty, coordinated by 4ms RCD

mostly raw recording with some mild compression added afterwards

o_C pensive robotmonks [a]

pretty sure that this involved a Rubicon, Dixie, µFold, Maths, and a Nano Rand.

krell experimentations

control: IntelliJel Metropolis
audio paths: Rubicon + Dixie II -> Blind Monk Harmonic Multiplier -> Bastl Cinnamon --> out (low tones) /  Polaris + Clouds (high tones w/annoying static)
modulation: XAOC Batumi, WMD SSM, Maths

blind triangles

bass: dixie -> tea kick -> [rampage -> skis] -> res-4
melody: rubicon -> polaris ==> planar -> [tides -> µVCF] -> erbe-verb
raw recording, bits of things

fiddly bits

FLXS1 sequencing:
Rubicon -> RES-4, Dixie II+ -> Cinnamon, Dixie -> Polaris, E350 ==> Planar
Planar ==> A103 ==> Springray ==> Jellysquasher

surfing the planar and wiggling the A103 and springray

mild reverb + filtering in postprocessing

submarine drone

d3cødЭr genre experimentation; "industrial chill out"

[α] temps utile + teletype in the driver's seat
[β] voltage block twiddles
[γ] vox: basimilus iteritas alter + plonk + entity bass drum + SD808
[δ] analog replicator on SD808
[ε] jellysquasher, rainmaker, then veils on the egress
