This piece was constructed from two contributions to Insect Menagerie, one of which was composed by Paul Reiners and the second "bee kind" by Matrifocal Bee.  The two compositions were looped at 30 different playback speeds and overlaid to generate a descending tone pattern using Supercollider. Additional treatments of Matrifocal Bee were supplied by GuitarRig in Kontakt.  The final piece was mixed in Ableton Live.  Thanks to Paul_Reiners and Bee_Kind for permitting use of their amazing contributions.

I created this sound snippet for Disquiet Junto 0498 / 2021 Musikfestival Bern, blending the 'bee kind' and 'noodle twister' samples provided as source material.  Contributors were asked to imagine 'a hybrid of two insects, created in a laboratory'.  My hybrid is an engineered bumble bee roughly the size of a hedgehog, whose wings create a textural sonic drone, and whose brain has been extended with 1990s modem technology for the purposes of (low bandwidth) communication.  ;)

This track follows the inspiration of the Disquiet Junto Project 0498 and combines the insects https://soundcloud.com/morgulbee/warp-bugz-disquiet0494 and https://soundcloud.com/uforika/williaso-disquiet0494 into a special new  breed deriving the best qualities of both and developing new abilities through the combination.

I FEEL FREE

Having set up the Cwejman RES-4 and QMMF-4 for AB-testing the resonance modes I couldn't help but also record some wiggling. 

Here's the patch info:

Pamela's Workout is the clock master, the Turning Machine (extended) creates the rhythm. The outputs of the Turning Machine ping the Cwejman RES-4 and Cwejman QMMF-4 (in BP res mode). Both are tuned to fifths. 

A Klee sequencer modulates the fifths of the QMMF-4. A Modcan Quad LFO modulates the frequency bands on both RES-4 and QMMF-4. This is causing the modulation you hear in-between the 'theme' .

One of the outputs on the Pamela pings a Cwejman MMF-1 and creates the ostinato woodblock that comes in and out

Two outputs on the Turning Machine trigger a bass-drum and high-hat on a MI Peaks.

Everything is recorded in one take, there is no multi-tracking. The levels between the layers are done on the fly on two MX-4S's. A D-LFO and PH4 are auto-panning the RES-4, QMMF-4 and high-hat.

The only thing I've done afterwards is edit the rather long excerpts into something potentially slightly less boring.  

Cwejman RES-4 and QMMF-4 patch

Just made this for a "Dare" which are little challenges from the freesound.org community forum.  I used two sounds from each year the website has been up to make this short.  No additional sounds were used.  


Thanks to the kind people who uploaded these sounds!
