Disquiet Junto Project 0249: 80 Phases

Demo of an upcoming Unfiltered Audio project that specializes in phased loops.

Unfiltered SP: Happy Birthday Steve Reich disquiet0249

i used my favourite bandcamp glitch for this
basically when you duplicate a tab that is playing a bandcamp track it plays it at a slight delay and i wanted to see what that would sound like 
i played a simple 2 note phrase over and over with not too many fx but 3 different oscillators
in bandcamp i'd play one duplicate the tab wait for that to start playing and duplicate again over the course of ~3.5 minutes 
i wanted to get up to 80 tabs but only made it to 42 (the previous attempts were in the 30s) 
weirdly when it got to 7 or 8 tabs open it would hang trying to find a socket but then once it had it would get thru the next 30 no hassle

Disquiet Junto Project 0249: 80 Phases
Wish the minimalist composer Steve Reich a happy birthday.

Major thanks to Neil Stringfellow for proposing and helping to craft this project.

Project Steps:

Step 1: October 3 marked the 80th birthday of composer Steve Reich. Prepare to record a tribute to him.

Step 2: Select a short segment of sound or music that can be looped and, per Reich’s own technique, “phased.” Fortunately, the song “Happy Birthday” has entered the public domain. Consider using it.

Step 3: Take the segment from Step 2 and play it on repeat, layering the loop with slightly different timing to create a phasing effect. Play around with this, editing the loops until you have some successful or interesting sounds/accidents.

Disquiet Junto Project 0249: 80 Phases

Eight tracks of a simple loop, each track offset by a different amount. Tracks have a little processing, different for each and EQ applied to emphasise different frequencies. Added percussion tracks.

Step 4: Add some extra sounds or textures if you think the piece needs it.

A mixture of dial-up and sea noises was not a good idea.

I always find my self unconsciously chanting 4 syllable phrases in the rhythm of Jungle Boogie by Kool and the Gang.  "Caesar Salad" is a common one.  So, I recorded and looped this phrase for that reason.  You can also hear an effected, and phased in the same way, sample of the horns from Jungle Boogie in there.  I just snipped one sample slightly shorter than the other and looped them the way Reich used to do.  Took some experimenting to snip the right amount.  The only other effects I used were reverb, some echo on the horns, compression, EQ, and a little bit of phaser (faded in gradually)on the vox.
