this weeks Disquiet is to make 200bpm ambient - who could resist a challenge like that 

Not really sure if it is either gabber or ambient but it is at 220 bpm! 

I'm sure in the right state of mind this could take you places!

[0556: Gabber Ambient] Just Another Extra In A Police Procedural

Initially, I thought Gabber wouldn't be my cup of tea, but archive.org had some really interesting modern Gabber tracks under a Creative Commons License. The song that appealed to me the most was from an Indonesian production (Gabber Modus Operandi - Puxxximaxxx, "Hey Nafsu", https://archive.org/details/yesno091).

Ninety-nine percent of the sounds came from the track. I chopped up the snippets with Voltage Modular, stretched them in Ableton, and maltreated them with long effects chains. To add a bit of Ambient cliche, I added the song of a humpback whale (because, why not – sometimes a track needs a pink fluffy unicorn ribbon).

It still sounds rough around the edges, but maybe there's a genre of noise ambient it fits into.

Disquiet Junto Project 0556: Gabber Ambient
The Assignment: Field-test a hybrid genre.

Thanks to Sevenism for having proposed this project.

Gabber and ambient music seem like polar opposites. Gabber is typified by a constant distorted kick drum pummelling you at upwards of 200bpm. Ambient, on the other hand, can be deeply immersive or barely noticeable. This project asks the question: is “gabber ambient” possible?

Step 1: Consider what makes gabber gabber and what makes ambient ambient. Where is there crossover?

Step 2: Make a track that could be construed as “gabba ambient.”

Step 3: You’re probably going to want to delete it. Try not to. Save and upload.

Eight Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0556” (no spaces or quotation marks) in the name of your tracks.

Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag “disquiet0556” (no spaces or quotation marks). If you’re posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to subsequent location of tracks for the creation of a project playlist.

Step 3: Upload your tracks. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your tracks.

Step 4: Post your track in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:

Project discussion takes place on llllllll.co: https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0556-gabber-ambient/

Step 5: Annotate your track with a brief explanation of your approach and process.

Step 6: If posting on social media, please consider using the hashtag #DisquietJunto so fellow participants are more likely to locate your communication.

Step 7: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Step 8: Also join in the discussion on the Disquiet Junto Slack. Send your email address to marc@disquiet.com for Slack inclusion.

Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, August 28, 2022, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, August 25, 2022.

Length: The length is up to you. Does fast mean long or short?

DENDRITE FUNCTIONAL [disquiet0556]

An unholy marriage of gabber and ambient. Does it work? Hmmm....

[disquiet0556] From The Darkness It Comes

Being way out of touch and not having any idea what gabber was, I took a crash course. Turns out to be good ol’ hardcore techno! Can’t say it ever did much for me, but that’s probably just an age thing. Our own https://soundcloud.com/lityk has even been generous enough to use some of my sounds in his work, like this one: https://soundcloud.com/lityk/dronebrute   and an earlier one which even came out on vinyl! https://www.discogs.com/release/8227918-Lityk-Feat-Tuonela-3-Kotti-Telepath-Subsonic-002

Anyway, many of the tracks I came across had some fascinating dynamics. I picked this one as a sound source:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ss8aTYJVMyw&list=PLwt1yl0k-dTevOoOXJaEOKna3WjTumUHz&index=16

ie  Kesj & Donut - Total confusionz

and fed it into my trusty outdated ambient v.3 software.

And this, with some multi-tracking and tonal tweaking, was the result. For me, it’s ambient but still has elements of the brutal power of the original. And just 1 real beat in 5 minutes!
