More on this 600th weekly Disquiet Junto project, Reaching Out (The Assignment: This is a shared sample project. Rework a set of seven WAV files provided by Marcus Fischer), at: https://disquiet.com/0600/

For this gently remixed take on Marcus Fischer's sample set I stayed almost completely within the limits of the SP-404 mkii with a little extra arrangement in Bitwig at the end.

Ambient Excursions into a Science Fictional Universe

The Deep Range

Made with Yamaha RX5, Mopho, Casio CZ-5000, Casiotone MT-40, Nux TimeForce, Korg Monotron Delay

One Three Two

This track involved a 16 bar sequence plus a rest, helping with that feeling late at night when sleep won't come but thoughts are fragmented. 

The music involves sequencing three synths: Yamaha DX-21, Casio CZ-5000 and a DSI Mopho on RM1X sequencer, with a drum machine providing the rimshot that's used for the ticking clock/metronome (a ticking clock seems extra loud and abrasive to me when I want to sleep).  As the track finishes, the reverb that saturates the synths earlier slowly disappears leave quiet, clear notes.

The mix was recorded onto a tape deck to provide that extra little bit of background warmth and noise that I felt was needed for the theme.

Awake While You Were Sleeping [disquiet0350]

Emptiness Is Awareness was created for Disquiet Junto Project 0351: Selected Insomniac Works Volume II and is a remix of the Daniel Diaz track Emptiness.

I have taken two elements from the track and made it even more suitable for late night listening (for me) by looping, slowly filtering, and providing variations on those two parts. I used few tools (Audiomulch, and an external reverb for one part) and a sedate 68bpm for the (mostly) quiet kick.

Emptiness Is Awareness (disquiet0351)

Layers takes some basic variations on a melody. They're played on three different synths (two through a sequencer, the other through an internal sequencer) and recorded here in one take.
