Disquiet Junto Project 0189: Tone Layer

A quick demo of three layers of a wavetable synth patch I've been working on for another piece.

The only difference between each instance of the instrument is filter settings.

"Many" loops became 3 in this compressed scale.

Disquiet Junto Project 0189: Tone Layer
Create a dense stack of attack-free tonal material from one audio source.

This project involves layering loops, or a loop of layers. It’s preferable that you do so with live looping, allowing the layers to accrue in real time. However, if live looping is not a capacity of yours, then feel free, certainly, to layer them in Audacity or by some other means.

These are the steps:

Step 1: Choose an instrument that can create extended tones.

Step 2: Record a short loop of a single held tone on that instrument. Use a volume pedal or other tool to eliminate the attack at the start of the tone.

Step 3: Create many more such loops, all with the same instrument, and layer them atop the original loop.

Step 4: Record a document of these layered loops lasting approximately 1 minute.

Step 5: Upload your completed track to the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud.

Step 6: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

threads [disquiet0189-tonelayer]

After an 1 hour messing around with the modular trying to figure out a ridiculously complex way of doing this week's task; I gave up and did this Basinski -style thing in 10 minutes with my new lapsteel guitar and a forthcoming software looper whose name I'm not allowed to mention yet...
The track was done in real time. (Hence the fact it's more than 1 minute long) The guitar was processed through Native Instruments Guitar Rig 5 and I added some Tape delay, Eq and Limiting in Ableton Live.

Sediment Layers (disquiet0189-tonelayer)

Looped the viola a number of times live - some with 100% wet signal from a couple of delay and reverb pedals and some 100% dry. I liked the effect of hearing the layers build up, but due to the time constraint of 1:00 I selected a chunk in the middle  of the piece before it got a bit too cacophonous and muddy (I may have got carried away with the number of loops I had running towards the end...)

Slap Another One On There Disquiet0189 - Tonelayer

**Production Notes**

There’s a nice little free Reaktor ensemble, which I used for this piece. It’s called vFripp. It combines a synth with a frippertronic style mono delay. 

Played for 5 minutes to build up something, then let the loops flow. 

Maybe I put up the longer version, also.

Fripp’s Layer Cake [disquiet0189-tonelayer]

Used piano, cut off attack by fading in each loop, used resonator to drag out note a bit. loops are different lengths to add an element of randomness (higher notes are shorter naturally).  Other than that we just added notes to the same F chord.
