Abandoned Station

For the second part of the trio I added a track to two contributions of the first round: Dandante’s poem and Maybe Going Somewhere by He_Nu_Ri

For both, I added one layer of Plaits using various engines. For the poem, I also used the drum engines of Plaits to add a beat. Maybe going somewhere still is 96 BPM, D Major. The Poem is now 116 BPM and also D Major.

Thanks to Dandante and He_Nu_Ri for their tracks and Dylan Marlais Thomas for the poem.

He_nu_ru ’s original track is here

The Assignment: Record the second third of an asynchronous trio.. More info on Disquiet Junto: http://disquiet.com/0592

Neptune's unusual behavior is showing us that though we can make great models of planetary atmospheric circulation, there may be key pieces missing. - H. Hammel

Inspired by the ethereal and mysterious atmosphere of @caustic_gates disquiet0591 (https://soundcloud.com/caustic_gates/disquiet0591-patchouli-wash) I tried to patch something complementary.
I took a pre-existing melody, recorded single notes with a 0-Coast in a Morphagene reel. 0-Ctrl is controlling Morphagene’s playback and splices with pressure gate output and Mimeophon’s feedback and color with pressure cv output. Added auto filter and Vallhalla Plate in Ableton Live. 60bpm

For Disquiet Junto 0592 I chose Alyce_Santoro's "Abstraction Cactus Flower." I added an improvised solo guitar to Alyce's flute trio. As Alyce wrote "all are welcome to use this piece as a basis for improvisation," I very much appreciate the Georgia O'Keefe quote Alyce mentioned, and find it resonant with the music here: "Details are confusing. It is only by selection, by elimination, by emphasis, that we get at the real meaning of things.”

[disquiet0592] Better Than One Tt16tt

A second entry for this week's Disquiet Junto, this one using Fake Genius's lovely Neapolitan sketch "Quietude" as the seed. I added guitar (roughly) thinking about the kind of thing Johnny Marr does on Pet Shop Boys tracks. Very curious to see if anyone picks this up to complete ... not really that many pop songs around the Junto? Fake Genius's description: "some street sounds and kids playing soccer (and calling each other names). On top there is a simple DX7 pad with a progression in Gm, with a sparse beat (no kick, no snare) at a 130 BPM."

Quietude (with guitar) for Disquiet Junto disquiet0592

This week's #disquietjunto prompt was to record the second third of an asynchronous trio.

I fired up a random number generator on Friday, and the number it returned was 1, so I downloaded Andreas Kitzmann's beautiful and atmospheric track (https://soundcloud.com/andreas-kitzmann-27370936/disquiet0591)

I listened to it on Friday and could immediately imagine some accordion or similar reedy tones playing over it.

I wasn't able to get to work on it until Monday, so I settled for using my melodica (surely my neighbors won't mind), which I think worked pretty well. 

The first two phrases the melodica plays are melodies I heard in my head while listening to Andreas' track, and the rest imitate phrases from the source track (though sometimes repeating them starting on a different pitch for a little flavor).

Happy Andreas shared his creativity, and I look forward to hearing what part might come next!
