I sampled my washer and dryer while they were both running. Transposed and processed some of the sounds for a percussion loop. The full original recording is bounced through some filters for the atmospheric and pad sounds. Keyboard and bass are side-chained with those sounds.

Responded to the challenge to cut an existing piece of music in half and take it from there. This piece has been waiting for some inspiration to finish it and I discovered that just starting in the middle made it a lot better.

Response to the Disquiet Junto prompt for this week I have done something I had been meaning to do: this is an experiment with a VCV Rack patch that creates a feedback loop of three self-oscillating filters. The lead track is a patch I call "Sad Oboe" that generates reed-like sounds as parameters are pushed by a random function generator. The drone and glitchy sounds behind it were assembled from sounds made by manually tweaking the params.

I studied the task of folding t-shirts to put away -- lay it out, fold one side over, flip sleeve back, do it on the other side roll it up. Did something pretty simple and literal to make music out of it: composed a little motif representing the folding/flipping, then used the retrograde of that for the action on the other side. the rolling-up is another motif. Each shirt here is separated by a minor third. Then we go to the drawer, put them in and shut the drawer.  All composed in Logic, instances of Alchemy, and some percussion loops.

key of D, 115 bpm. This is built from samples of me plucking strings and tapping on my tamboura. One loop of live performance is repeated at intervals over patterns created with the samples. Some filtering on the percussive element. Logic.
