Disquiet Junto Project 0622: Know the Shadow
The Assignment: How do you depict a shadow in sound?

I started playing around in the DAW and somehow ended up with old step samples. The simplest idea of musical shadows are certainly delay and reverb, and initially I built a (virtual) modular thing behind the steps that changes the shape of the steps but still lets us think of the original, just as shadows only hint at what cast them.

The second idea was the drums, and what could be the shadow of a drum kit? I used a looping noise sample (coming in very late, and not too loud) and carved out a kind of kick drum with negative noise using filters, so the absence of sound is the shadow here. I'll tell you why it has to be like this at some point far, far away … 

The third idea was to use two different types of motifs in one scale: An FM synthesizer using only the black keys of a blues scale (the real thing), and a classic basic saw synthesizer using only white keys (the shadow). 

Em ... and in general: first comes the real and then you hear the shadows, and in the end there are only shadows, because the word also stands for a kind of vague memory that continues to have an effect even after the real has disappeared. And remember, samples are shadows of real sounds …

The result is undoubtedly overly intellectual and musically not a gem. But it wouldn't be experimental music if the experiment couldn't - as here - go badly wrong. That's why I kept it under 3 minutes ...

🎧 Lies Told About God — Beat Tape by Forrest Jōb
A 19-track pilgrimage through divine distortion and human contradiction. Lies Told About God fuses cinematic soul, trap minimalism, and ambient tension into one ritual-like experience. Each beat was crafted, layered, and mixed by Forrest Jōb himself — a meditation on faith, madness, and rhythm as revelation. From dusty drums to celestial synths, this tape sounds like prayer meeting apocalypse.

I enjoy chopping samples up making everything sound completely different and still bang like it was suppose to be that way.  Most of my older tracks are done on the Maschine by Native Instruments with Komplete, but now I went back to my Akai MPC Live or Force.
