I love this track! All these sounds go so well together.

This started as a generative modular patch run with a varying clock. The results were kinda wallpapery and the tempo shifts not that obvious, I needed something with a steady pulse to give context and contrast. I dug out an old drumloop from a project from 10 years ago which I abandoned cuz I wasn’t happy with the rigidity of the beat. I had the file playing while adjusting the tempo of the modular track. This led to a warbly tape like effect that reminded me of badly wound cassettes where the b-side would faintly bleed through

Consider this chord:

E5
A#4
E4
D#4
Db3
C3
Produce a loopable drone (duration between one and three minutes) of your own based on that chord.

"Produce a track taken to the extreme minimum. Use only pure waveforms (sine, sawtooth, triangle, pulse wave) and no effects. Restrict yourself to 5 voices." 

A very simple track, one oscillator tuned to a 5th above the others and static, four other oscillators each fed a pentatonic 5-note sequence, with each sequence having it's own unique clock. And that's it.

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

I started with a 200 bpm Kickdrum in Live. It seemed to be enough for some minutes. I added a lot of things, just to not be lazy. From there I went one by feeling. It was basically a loop with minimal variations when I exported stems and recut the track in Reaper by destroying a lot of things. I am really neither a fan of Kickdrums nor from bpms faster than 90, but after all I liked the track.

Yes Exit (disquiet0559)

My remake synth version of the 1979 hit.

Since I was very young I realized
I never wanted to be human size
So I avoid the crowds and traffic jams
They just remind me of how small I am
Because of this longing in my heart
I'm going to start the growing art
I'm going to grow now and never stop
Think like a mountain, grow to the top
Tall, tall, tall
I want to be tall, tall, tall
As big as a wall, wall, wall
As big as a wall, wall, wall
And if I'm not tall, tall, tall
Then I will grow, grow, grow
Because I'm not tall
Tall, tall, tall, tall
Tall, tall, tall
Tall, tall, tall
I want to be tall, tall, tall
As big as a wall, wall, wall
As big as a wall, wall, wall
And if I'm not tall, tall, tall
Then I will grow, grow, grow
Because I'm not tall
Tall, tall, tall, tall
Tall, tall, tall
With concentration
My size increased
And now I'm fourteen stories high
(At least)
Empire State human
Just a bored kid
I'll go to Egypt to be
The pyramids
Tall, tall, tall (Brick by brick)
I want to be tall, tall, tall (Stone by stone)
As big as a wall, wall, wall (Growing 'til he's)
As big as a wall, wall, wall (Fully grown)
And if I'm not tall, tall, tall (Brick by brick)
Then I will grow, grow, grow (Stone by stone)
Because I'm not tall (Growing 'til he's)
Tall, tall, tall, tall (Fully grown)
Tall, tall, tall
Tall, tall, tall (Fetch more water)
I want to be tall, tall, tall (Fetch more sand)
As big as a wall, wall, wall (Biggest person)
As big as a wall, wall, wall (In the land)
And if I'm not tall, tall, tall (Fetch more water)
Then I will grow, grow, grow (Fetch more sand)
Because I'm not tall (Biggest person)
Tall, tall, tall, tall (In the land)
Tall, tall, tall
Brick by brick
Stone by stone
Growing 'til he's
Fully grown
Brick by brick
Stone by stone
Growing 'til he's
Fully grown
Tall, tall, tall (Fetch more water)
I want to be tall, tall, tall (Fetch more sand)
As big as a wall, wall, wall (Biggest person)
As big as a wall, wall, wall (In the land)
And if I'm not tall, tall, tall (Fetch more water)
Then I will grow, grow, grow (Fetch more sand)
Because I'm not tall (Biggest person)
Tall, tall, tall, tall (In the land)
Tall, tall, tall
Tall, tall, tall (Brick by brick)
I want to be tall, tall, tall (Stone by stone)
As big as a wall, wall, wall (Growing 'til he's)
As big as a wall, wall, wall (Fully grown)
And if I'm not tall, tall, tall (Brick by brick)
Then I will grow, grow, grow (Stone by stone)
Because I'm not tall (Growing 'til he's)
Tall, tall, tall, tall (Fully grown)
Tall, tall, tall
Fetch more water
Fetch more sand
Biggest person
In the land
Fetch more water
Fetch more sand
Biggest person
In the land
