"I was completely enthralled by Andreas', Roland's, and Wilfried's musical 'answer' to the last Junto assignment (0593 -- a trio recorded at 'asynchronous' times and places). I lovingly dissected their sonic opus, and concocted My own answer to this week's Junto challenge -- 0594, the 'Threemix.'

I first diced the intro of Andreas' initial, guitar loop, kept only its first two 'notes,' expanded and looped them to 64.35 BPM -- and repeated them throughout the piece.

encym's guitar meanderings were sliced into brief phrases. I ended up with thirty of them, yet used only two of them to offset Andreas' forceful drones. Also featured are two improv sections of His at very low volumes, in order to suggest an subtle 'undulation' in the piece.

encym's tonality was originally pitched one semitone higher ('Western-scale'); thus, I lowered (pitch-shifted) it a single semitone. The result is consonance.

(One of My fave 'happy accidents' occured while isolating a brief, percussive 'dink' during encym's guitar part [a fingering error?]; that dink -- when saturated, and run through a slap-back and ping-pong delay series -- provided a 'drum' beat that backed the piece.)

As the work nears its cadence, enter Wilfried, with His wond'rous 'theremin' riff, of which I isolated one recorded flourish, and repeated it four times. The motif He played introduces itself at a low volume level, fed through two delays and a reverb, which deepened in intensities as the motifs progressed. 

What makes this piece special for Me is the highly complex -- and joyfully painstaking -- effects automations I crafted throughout it. It took hours of mathematical computations, and programming, in order to make the piece -- itself seemingly 'simple' and 'droney' -- to 'sound' so complex."

"Disquiet Junto Project 0594: 'Threemix'

The Assignment: Remix an asynchronously produced trio.

Step 1: You’re going to make a remix of a track from the most recent Disquiet Junto project, which was a collection of trios constructed over the course of three weeks. Listen through the playlist, and check out any additional tracks in the discussion forum:

https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0593

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0593-the-charm/

Step 2: You might elect to use some of the constituent parts of the series, so do seek out the solo and duet that led to your chosen trio and feel free to employ those, too. Check out the respective llllllll.co threads:

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 30

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.

I've had this idea for a long time: turning slowly evolving drones and textures into percussion and pusles and compose around that.

When I listened to the source material, I knew what I wanted to do.

**The process**
I placed all sounds on separate DAW tracks and listened to them. 
I used sends to create 3 different "submixes" that I liked. I recorded these 3 sounds and worked with them, disregarding the other material. 

Then, I processed these 3 voices with Eurorack envelopes and VCAs, coming up with a trigger sequence, envelope timing, levels and EQ that I liked. I spent around an hour on it.

I grouped together all 3 voices and added some space with tape delay and a bit of reverb. Then, I added a fourth sound layer of the metallic stereo percussion, which already had a great reverberation to it, so I put it outside of the group to add a second layer of depth to the overall space of the piece.

I recorded 10 minutes of the resulting material to the DAW (mono).

Then I closed my eyes and recorded volume automation with a MIDI fader controller for the four tracks to introduce the sounds and fade them away, giving the composition its final shape.

This week's Disquiet Junto assignment was to make something from samples made by https://soundcloud.com/marcus_fischer His source sounds were great, so this was a lot of fun. I didn't add much at all.

I'll put some process notes in the thread on lines: https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0600-reaching-out/

Jet Jaguar - Rework [disquiet0600] (Free download)

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.

600 views of noise, silence and inspiration (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.

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:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0600-reaching-out/

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.

Note: Please post one track for this weekly Junto project. If you choose to post more than one, and do so on SoundCloud, please let me know which you’d like added to the playlist. Thanks.

DC feat. the samples of Marcus Fischer  - disquiet0600

Made from samples provided by Marcus Fischer for Disquiet Junto 0600. This is my first time participating in Disquiet Junto.

I processed the samples in a few different ways. Some I just looped small parts from, tuned, and made them playable. I made a generative patch in Bitwig's note grid for one of them, and recorded a few minutes of it. I ran one sample through the Mutable Instruments Beads. Another one was played with a random LFO controlling the transport of the Bitwig sampler. For percussion I used the PSU_stairs recording processed in different ways; a booming bass drum created by pinging the Joranalogue Filter-8, a snare-like sound created by doubling it with the tree monster effect in Bitwig, and finally, I cut the entire recording to pieces and rearranged it.
