A new recorded alternative of my earlier "Kraft". Just strings and my soul.

Kraft II

Happy to be back to contributing for the Disquiet Junto. This must be one of my favourite recurring Junto projects as it's so inspiring and fun. 

About my process: After a first attempt that didn't quite work, I found a good setting on my Pladask Elektrisk Fabrikat -- one that leaves lots of space for the next person to add stuff in -- and improvised what you're hearing here, off the top off my head. I love how the pedal introduces "holes" in the incoming guitar signal, reminds me a bit of William Basinski's "Disintegrating Loops". All of this recorded in Cubase, adding a pinch of reverb & delay.

I hope this inspires some of you to add their second part to it!

Very nice samples to work with.
I unmuted the first 3 (or the last 3?) the more "synth" ones, didn't use the glitchy/noise tracks. Those 3 tracks played back with no added fx or mix sounded full Vangelis for me.
I  miss and I know I will miss Vangelis Papathanassíou for the rest of my life.
This one's for him. 

3 tracks from Marcus Fischer's sample set, tweaked and slightly edited
3 tracks performed by myself on Friday June the 30th during the morning: one electric piano, 2 synthesisers: Ultra Analog VA2 and Micro Korg

So Long Vangelis (disquiet0600)

Live iPad jam around 3 samples by Marcus Fischer. The main theme is from manipulating one of the samples in Sector. Outside of these three sources there's one track of softpop, and multiple tracks of effects.

My creative goal with this one was to slow down.

Disquiet Junto Project 0600: Reaching Out The Assignment: This is a shared sample project. Rework a set of seven WAV files provided by Marcus Fischer.

Step 1: The musician Marcus Fischer, long a friend of and participant in the Disquiet Junto, has graciously put together a set of shared samples that will be the source audio for this project. Part of the beauty of a shared sample project is that there will be an underlying quality — a tonality, a texture, a commonality — to all the disparate works that are produced from the foundational material. Listening to the variations as they surface will be its own special source of pleasure. You can access the files here:
https://www.dropbox.com/t/TGexgpq93GPLGFxE 32

Step 2: You can rework the audio from Step 1 in any way that you see fit. You can use all of it, or just one tiny piece, or whatever subset you find strikes your ear. The one stipulation is your finished piece should begin and end with an unadulterated segment of one of the provided tracks for at least two seconds. Please credit Marcus Fischer when posting your track.

Vapor Shores (w. Marcus Fischer) [disquiet0600]

Recorded, mixed & mastered 01-02 Jul 2023 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa. Reworking samples provided by Marcus Fischer - @marcus_fischer

Process notes - 

For this piece, I used an Ableton Live template that I developed for an ongoing (and similar) project with others in Sarah Belle Reid's Patreon community that we started in Sept 2022. Essentially, it is a way to process samples and then re-process the resampled material. My template also gives me enough flexibility to add/remove elements. For me, it's just a starting point from which I can grow sample-based materials in a generative manner.

Marcus provided 7 samples for this project but I only used 4 of them. 

Sample names - 
1 - 600_walking-mfischer
2 - 600_nacre_voit-mfischer
3 - 600_hands_held-mfischer
4 - 600_no_input_matrix_mixer-mfischer

The first three samples were put into my template/devices to pull slices using MIDI files as triggers which were arranged to add randomness to which slice was chosen as well as velocity and probability. 

The template channels as used here contain a sampler with some distorted or delay elements added. The resampled results of these were then run through devices that would add some ambience and resonance as well as sample-warp algoriths from Live.

The 4th was only processed by Ableton warp algorithms but per instructions, the piece starts & ends with an unaltered 2 seconds from this sample.

Disquiet Junto Project 0614: Alternate Route
The Assignment: Do something you often do, but differently.

Owners of Pianos may laugh, but to throw in as much as possible instrumentation (sometimes more than one to a motive) with all those plugins and hardware toys becomes so much a second nature, that I thought I should do it differently. So this is a simple track that only uses the Puremagnetik VERV Sunbaked Tape Loop Synthesizer with the same settings for all voices. To make the voices more distinguishable I had to enhance some bass here, reduce some noise there, both with Reapers RealFIR, the gross motor axe of my choice. Some FX plus mastering plugins. "AmdPadic" because the filename started as something with "ambient pads", before it became what it is, and I liked the sound of "empathic" I can hear in the track title.
