Disquiet Junto Project 0368: Engage Duo

this one uses Vonna Wolf's wonderful track Heart Uno 

https://soundcloud.com/vonna-wolf/vonnaz-wolf-heart-uno-disquiet-junto367-download-me

and adds some synth guitar. The track reminded me a bit of some of the Fripp/Crimson/Eno era rock from back in the day (with kind of a Liquid Sky vibe too), so I tried to evoke a little of Fripp's more "coruscating" guitar parts. On listening to her track I envisioned a lot of stacked major thirds and fourths, note clusters, and glitches. I did a bit of planning but also a fair amount of improvisation.

The guitar synth is a Roland Gr-55 and I used the GR-300 patch, which is an emulation of the hex-fuzz type sound that I believe Fripp used in the days I was trying to evoke. The patch glitches wonderfully on certain ranges and held notes.

Created on Friday January 18th 2019 for:
Disquiet Junto Project 0368: Engage Duo
The Assignment: Record the second third of a trio, adding to a pre-existing track.

not really inspired today for this lovely challenge, and I decided to avoid any track already used, 

As the tracks I downloaded after listening to the whole playlist a couple of days ago, many were used so I went with @ikjoyce 's track, not the first time I collaborate with him in this junto gatherings. 
His track was mostly a groove with  electro sequences popping throughout, and then it goes to some electro-bollywwood mantra thing, very interesting already, so I just played my electric bass making it more like a rhythm section for a third juntonian to play on top next week.
But I played a melody on the bass at the end, like a  montuno obstinatto, Not really proud of this one, but I guess it sounds unfinished and that's good for the next step.

The Sky Has No Walls(disquiet0368)

This week's Junto involved taking one of last week's entries, and adding a second part - in preparation for someone else to add the third and final part next week. 

I chose the beautifully simple Trio Initiate by @howthenightcame https://soundcloud.com/howthenightcame/disquiet0367-trio-initiate
To this I added three layers of Bass Station 2 arps at varying speeds and levels of reverb/delay/eq. I also added a flanger to two of the layers, and some EQ to all to make them sit together. Finally, I panned the two mid-range arps more to the right, leaving the original track mainly in the left.

Trio intermezzo (disquiet0368)

I couldin't resist Alanza's Monosynth Study
https://soundcloud.com/aalanzaa/disquiet-0367-trio-initiate-monosynth-study

It was the first thing I tried, and I played this nice riff on my new Boppad drum controller.... But I worried I wasn't a good enough drummer yet to pull anything off other than that one riff, so I set it aside for a different trio-part-two.

Only I kept coming back to this to try out more.  So, after beating on the pad for three hours, and way too many takes (and a little bit of note fixing in Live)... here is this, turning Alanza's electric water arpeggios into a thumpy frenzy in an abandoned factory.
