I am not a morning person but being the breadwinner I must get up earlier than I would like. Also I have arthritis in my back that only allows me about 6-7 hours of sleep before I have to get up anyway. I love waking up early to peepee and going back to sleep for a little longer-that is the sweetest sleep. I wanted the piece to be peaceful but also saying rise and shine. I was not peaceful at all making this cause all my Auturia soft synths have suddenly decided to switch sounds when I record after I labored getting the sounds I had wanted. I ended up having to record a live mix down to a track to keep my sounds. When I worked in Japan I did not have to go to work til 1 p.m. I could stay up all night. Those were the days. Also I miss the cherry blossom parties. But like the cherry blossoms themselves all things are fleeting.

Disquiet Junto Project 0221: Morning Music

I clipped the end off a track I'm working on, reversed it and played around with timing and reverb. The idea of waking up to a drone possibly strikes some people as a novel one... :)

The Assignment: Compose something — quiet, peaceful, refreshing — you’d want to wake up to.

Step 1: You’ll be making music that you’d want to wake up to — music you’d like to imagine other people would want to wake up to. This isn’t “shock alert” music. It’s quiet, peaceful, refreshing.

Step 2: Compose and record something that accomplishes the goal set by Step 1.

Ohyra - Flesh Eater

I’ve been using a plugin called Crazy Ivan quite a bit lately, so I thought I’d feature it. I have no idea how it works, but depending on selected/accidental/guesswork settings it has a profound effect on pitch, making it rise and fall, and adds strange phasing effects, especially when you misuse it like I do.

I created a track out of samples from a couple of things I’m working on, then Crazy Ivan’d the whole thing – twice, with different settings. The only downside is that it flattens out the stereo separation, so I re-widened it, which alters the effect very slightly.



----------------------------------------------

The Assignment: Compose a piece of music in which the material processed is secondary to the processing.

Project Steps:

Step 1: Consider the following. New music can often involve flipping a perceived hierarchy: between rhythm and melody, between harmonic and melodic development, and between background and foreground, for example. This project involves flipping another perceived hierarchy: between the effect employed and the source audio on which it is employed (for example, between a flanger and a rhythm guitar line, or a gate and a drum kit, or between a filter and a complex waveform).

Step 2: Create an original piece of music in which the effect is the prominent thing heard throughout, while the source audio changes frequently between varied materials. The compositional goal is that the piece still hangs together as a considered whole unto itself.

Bending Pitch with Crazy Ivan  [disquiet 0241]

This is the first outing from Ex Canix. The group first got together in early 2015, although we have a history of playing together in different constellations since the mid 1970s. All tracks start out as improvisations. When we “get there” we rest in it. We travel from Stone Age to Outer Space and back as a community. The best bits we save, add to, cut up, trim, paste, mix and mash. All tracks were recorded at Skylten, Linköping, Sweden, between November 2015 and August 2016.


EX CANIX is:
Tjabbe Anstérus - Percussion
Boch	 - Bass, electronics, cello and guitar
Lars Hoffsten - Drums and percussion
Håkke Müller - Electronics, keyboard and bass

Special guest:
Shadow - Saxophone



Mixed by Boch
Produced by EX CANIX
Mastered by Viktor Ottosson
