Disquiet Junto Project 0401: Noise Pacing

Combinations of poetry, reggae, and dub.  All music by me.  Poems by other people.

Rasta Poets

This piece is made up of the following components:

* Gertrude Stein reading her poem "If I Told Him" (recording from [Penn Sound](writing.upenn.edu/pennsound/x/Stein.php))
* A recording of black holes colliding from the LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) Scientific Collaborative

If I Told Him

Major thanks to Malka Older, the novelist, for having generously contributed her own reading of her short story "The Divided" as the subject and source audio for the 400th consecutive weekly Disquiet Junto project.

Malka Older – The Divided – Part 9/9 disquiet0400

I utilized a clip from some Fajitas a server was running to another table that I captured. I then looped the clip and added Roland 808 drum sequencing. I then used the ROLI to add in additional tones. I added some bass and compression to the Fajitas.
I'm hungry now.

I made a bunch of drum loops to explain to my music theory class what polyrhythm is. Then I read about this Junto project and thought, hmm, making a beat out of noise, let's use them for this too! I vocoded the loops using a straight noise carrier and used an LFO to automate the vocoder's release parameter. I used Follow Actions to randomly sequence the loops, and then edited that sequence for better flow and musicality. In order of entrance, the polyrhythms are 4-vs-3, 5-vs-4, pentuplet swing, septuplet swing, and 11-vs-5.

Polyrhythmic Noise Grooves (disquiet0401)

I used my earlier track (Disquiet Junto 399 which was a previous Rauschen based track), it became a remixed version of it but processed with more noise elements, into various drumracks and rhytmic effects to create a track with more a tempo and rhythmic structure. I added little samples of melody - not quite the "something melodic atop it" that was requested but just enough to give as hint that melody might appear somewhere! 

Disquiet Junto Project 0401: Noise Pacing
The Assignment: Use background noise as a beat, as a rhythm.

This project is the third and final of a series being done in collaboration with Musikfestival Bern, which will be held in Switzerland from September 11 through 15. For this reason, a German translation is provided below. We are working at the invitation of Tobias Reber, an early Junto participant, who is in charge of the educational activities of the festival. Select recordings resulting from these three Disquiet Junto projects will be played publicly as part of the Rauschlabor Schützenmatte (musikfestivalbern.ch) or broadcast on the festival’s radio show, Radio Antenne (radioantenne.ch). If you don’t want your recording to be used in this way, please note so wherever you post it.

Step 1: Familiarize yourself with the German word “rauschen,” the theme for this year’s festival. Understand that “rauschen” is noise in the sense of white noise, waterfall noise, background noise, static, wind in trees, rain, etc. The blurred, diffuse, continuous kind of noise, not short individual non-tonal sounds.

Step 2: You are going to make music in which one or more “rauschen” noise(s) will be used as the beat or rhythm for a track. Record and listen back to such “rauschen.”

Step 3: Select one or more noise elements from Step 2.

Step 4: Create a track using the elements from Step 3 as beats or rhythmic material, and then layer something melodic atop it.

Magnetic Traffic(disquiet0401)

I'm using the Croaker reggae riddim.  Instead of traditional drums, I'm using rauschen to create a beat.  There are bits of Ezra Pound reading "Hugh Sewlyn Mauberly (Contacts and Life)".
