this is one of my favourite entries for 0555 so far. follows the instructions but manages to be really catchy and musical at the same time. well done :)

Nonlinear Optimization

I had an instant idea what to do: Set out the chord on several synths (some droning the bass dissonance of c/c#, some playing all the chord notes and some just playing the highest pitches) and process them the same effect chain. After that I ended up with a first track which wasn't evolving enough for my taste, so I recorded another one; they both got panned to the left and right and I recorded a centered "bed" for them. I was missing some accents, so I added a few high pitched notes on the FM. 

Maybe for a 'drone' there's too much going on, but since it emphasizes exactly one rather dissonant chord and explores its pitches and their relations, I guess it counts ;)

The track ends rather abruptly at the 2:55 mark, but if looped will work out well.

Made on my 'new' three volca drone lab (FM, Keys, Modular) with a MultiStomp MS70-CDR and a small makerhart mixer.

Disquiet Junto Project 0564: Octave Lept
The Assignment: Work an octave leap — or more than one — into a piece of music.

I used a track on which I was already working on and added automatic tools to randomly add or substract up to two octaves to all tracks. The probability was chosen so that the octave jumps should go unnoticed.

Track cover based on image from Dall-E2 prompting "Sudden jumps, not too hefty, edward hopper". This tool is so much fun!

I think this piece is so deep. one of the most successful of 2020 in terms of experimentation. it was born from a cubase session done by chance, and when I resumed the original idea I was not very convinced .. but I continued looking for solutions and the final result gave me full satisfaction. it was a vertical descent into one's cave to bring you light. a truly cathartic acoustic experience for me.
