The Calling [Reintegration Loop]

Disquiet Junto | Wipe Out - disquiet0506

I decided to pull out one of my old favorite techniques for this one: using Paulstretch with unconscionably long windows (5 seconds, 10 seconds, 40 seconds...). This takes a sample and moves it from a musical gesture to a long harmonic drone. 

I started out with the ukelele track, and stretched it 2.5x with a 5 second window. I stretched the accordina 2.1x with a 10 second window to get the primary melodic and chordal motion. Both developed a melody within the drone as the stretch was done.

I then stretched the piano 1.1x but with a 30 second window, then copied it, reversed it, and duplicated this again to bring it up to approximately the length of the other two tracks.

At this point, I started layering things up in Audacity and adjusting relative levels. I decided I wanted to leave a little of the original samples audible as they were originally, so I brought in the electric guitar chords and the rhythmic bass. I realigned the chords to appropriate places against the piano/uke/accordina lines, then carefully edited the bass to duplicate one bar of the rhythm so I could repeat it to almost the end of the track.

I then took the hang sample and pitched it up 3 octaves, resulting in a funky phasing tone in the mid-register. I applied a little Valhalla Freq Echo to that to give it a little more motion, and last, I brought in the low electric bass, carefully lining it up against the hang, and duplicating notes as required to get it to the correct length.

Final mixdown was adjusting relative levels of the tracks and tweaking EQ lightly.

This was done 100% in Audacity, using the Paulstretch, fade in, fade out, and pitch shift tools, with Valhalla Freq Echo for a tiny bit of sweetening.

Coum Al Ye Unfaithful... Coum To Thee Starmeadow!

This is my version of feeling hopeful. I like to overload my brain and hypnotize myself with my own music.
