My process:
Entirely made from the samples of a truck on the highway, radio static, and rain.

- Imported the samples into Ableton, chopped up transients, dragged my favourite chunks into "sampler and simpler" and set the in and out duration of the clips to create an instrument from the samples.

- The drums are mostly truck sounds and rain–– tiny clips transposed and EQd (chopped up and dragged into drum rack clip slots, arranged by their likeness to snare, kick, HH etc)

- Drums were drawn in brick by brick, The Synth instruments created by dragging into simpler were also drawn in, then I changed the envelope pitches as well to make the sound have a falling winding down effect.

- I included the radio static samples as a whole clip pitched up over time, creating some chaos :D  
- lots of EQ filtering

Disquiet Junto Project 0479: Truck Radio Rain
The Assignment: Locate three sound sources and make something with them.

Step 1: Locate online or record by yourself the following three sounds: a vehicle driving speedily, static between radio stations, and rain.

Step 2: Make an original piece of music using those three sounds. Do what you want with them, but only use those three sounds.

Discgarden

Bio - Late night / early morning sets have been Niki Kitz’s forte ever since the beginning of her music career. She cut her teeth hosting and DJing at unconventional late night events with the Foshizzle Family in Madison, WI and she continued down this rabbit hole with a relocation to Milwaukee. There she joined the Apart artist collective and co-founded Plush Works, a DIY music space and after hours venue. With a whimsical yet powerful style, she has left her mark across the Midwest, from warehouses in Chicago, to Movement after-parties in Detroit, to open air psytrance festivals in Missouri and many dance floors in between. Since moving to Minneapolis in 2017, she’s established herself as a household name within the underground community, playing notable sets at SYSTEM and Intellephunk parties. She also produces ambient and experimental music under her Kiisu moniker and recently released her first full length album, “Mother of Dirt,” on the Portland-based label, Disposable Commodities.

Niki Kitz(DJ set)@Future Classic Redbull Radio

It's been a loathsome day
trapped inside by my own accord
pacing around like i'm caged
in a house with one way doors
it's been a long reminder to temper hopes
because the ropes designer maintains his hold
at one end, starts pulling
until you're dragged back again
and who am i to cut the line
when my offer is so poorly timed that it just gets passed by

it's been a gruesome display
cross my arms and stare at the floor
i'm stuffing down what you say
in the cracks to be heard no more
it's been a long reminder to keep my course
because the roads designer maintains his hold
at one end, starts turning 
until you're doubled back towards him
and who am i to walk the line
when i am navigating blind?
