It took me years to find this again, I thought maybe you had deleted it. For years it got me through some things but I could never find it, and I just thought you should know, all these years later this is still beyond its time.

this is a real piece of modern art!! Fab!!

Listening to it for the 5th time. This is amazing.

Disquiet Junto Project 0065: Piano Overlay

Instructions: 

This week’s project’s theme is asynchronous collaboration — in other words, making things together separately. We will make new compositions based on short, discrete, randomly assigned segments of a single, 60-minute piano composition. Collectively these will form a longer, collaborative suite.

These are the steps:

Step 1: You will be making a piece of music by adding new sounds to a pre-existing track. You can download that pre-existing track, an original piano composition by Jared Brickman, here:

https://soundcloud.com/one_hello_world/every-day-were-dying-and-outer

Step 2: When you go to the following URL, at kenzak.com, you will be assigned, immediately, a specific section of the longer Brickman piece. This kenzak.com URL will randomly pull up two pieces of information. The first piece of information is the start point of your segment. The second is the length of your segment (which will be between 1 and 4 minutes):

http://kenzak.com/disquiet/disquiet0065-pianoverlay.html

One note: There will be overlap between assigned pieces. This was a conscious decision, informed by the overall theme of overlaying, which is explained further in step 4, below.

Step 3: Extract your assigned segment from the pre-existing track.

Step 4: Compose a new piece of music by adding elements to the pre-existing track. You can add anything you choose, with the exception of voice. Limit yourself to two additional elements. The original track should be audible throughout your new composition.

Information:

The original audio (from 5.24 for 3.31) was granularized inside Max 4 Live/Ableton Live. I primarily used the new Robert Henke Granulator II patch to create the crunchy ambiance. I also sliced the audio enabling be to create the motoric pulsing part. Various echoes of the audio were re-edited back into the track. You could therefore argue that I have included more than 2 additional elements, but all of those elements were deriveed from the same part. You could also argue that I could have created a new part ... I didn't want to stray to far from the timbre of the original. Reusing sound from the original gave me a consistent sonic palette to work from.

05:35 Start to Stop Time [disquiet0065-pianoverlay]

The source piece for this Junto is really gorgeous … in the words of some famous producer, I felt like I was drawing a moustache on the Mona Lisa. So I didn't want to do anything to detract from it (much).

I made two copies of my source segment and applied different eq settings and some distortion to both… set the track levels, and that was pretty much it. In the spirit of this particular Junto, my understanding is this is intended as an excerpt of a larger work, so I didn't use any fades at the head or tail of the piece.

Thanks to Jared Brickman for a beautiful piece and my apologies for vandalizing it ;-)

13:10 Sintering Fog(disquiet0065-pianoverlay)

For this project, I've built upon Brickman's haunting, engaging piece with two different segments taken from the section I had to work with (starting at 7:45 and lasting for 3 mins and 24 secs); each separate segment was altered slightly, damaged and distorted in a minimal way to bring out what I saw as the original's inherent eerie - yet lovely - "heaviness". A collaboration for weary planetary travelers.
