Disquiet Junto Project 0382: Understanding McLuhan

Bits of Disquiet

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0382-understanding-mcluhan/21929/11?u=eptc

Alternate title, "The Antennas, the Trees, and the Wind"

Dedicated, with appreciation, to Mike McGrath of MF-WGLR.

"Oh Oh Oh, Thank You Very Much, Charlie" (Good Morning) — Disquiet0382

Logic X audio to midi functionality -> editing for accuracy -> creative editing -> synth parts and drum part created based on the midi.

The Medium Is The Massage [disquiet0382]

As a response to this weeks challenge, I used samples from an interview from McLuhan, citing his father (who keyed famous phrases like "the medium is the message/massage" and "global village"). 

I've tried to create something that ended up reminding me of a (hopefully) updated version of the 80'ies Hardcastle song "19" (which I, at the time, soon grew to loathe due to too frequent visits to the local disco, who just WOULD NOT STOP PLAYING IT....).

Anyways; It is more uptempo beat than my previous Disquiet responses - made to keep practicing that particular "muscle"!

It was created in Ableton with various Sinevibes, Native and Eventide plugins - as well as a few of my own samples and performances thrown in.

Interesting reading McLuhan, heard the quotes and heard the name but never put the two together.
Why punk? Couldn’t muster the metal chops I was looking for. It still worked...at least for me.
Contents:
One line from #10, Eric McLuhan’s “Sea of information”
One noisy straight ahead kit
One distorted bass
Three noisy guitars
Sloppy playing, sloppy production and sloppy amounts of grind and distortion.
Started in GarageBand and sent to Logic.

Inspired by my introduction to La Torture Des Ténèbres by my son Todd.  Appropriately, Marshall McLuhan was from Canada.

Nudd {Disquiet0382}

Found floating amongst the stars, initially though to be an alien satellite, a yalpian blackstone organ was found in 1972 by Major Tom & Eva. 

After several years of experiments, Professor Spleet Von Gingle finally succeeded in taping a few minutes of it's song, after which (she claims) it broke completely. 

Rumour has it, though, that pieces and parts as well as some of the oscillating blackstones has been seen on stage or in the studios of some of the biggest bands throughout the '70'ies and '80'ies.

disquiet0385 - etude for yalpian fields

This is part of the "disquiet junto" challenges (see more below).
For this months challenge,  choose 3 random instruments, I decided to do a quick “in the box” experiment. Amongst my, admittedly, too many plugins, I let google cast the dice. What I hadn’t foreseen was, of course, that my plugins are a mix of instruments and mixing/mastering tools… so I was given with the following three numbers: 15, 53 and 51 - giving me the following three plugins:

15 - Arturia Piano V2
53 - iZotope Stutter Edit
51 - iZotope Ozone 7 Vintage Tape

The title is an anagram of "more random" - but feels somehow relevant to the result...

disquiet0388 - mr marooned

This was an old experiment with some minimal house - where I, in response to this weeks Disquiet Junto challenge, took a serious dive in tempo compared to the original, shaved off a lot of stuff, put in a few experimental bleeps - which gave everything a very dubby feeling, I think. The original (called "Old House"), is maybe 10 years old...

Hope you like and find a nice summer spot to enjoy!

disquiet0389 - since then (old house)

This track is based on an old industrial loop I made a while ago - but sped up considerably in response to this weeks “Disquiet Junto” challenge. I’ve build a new arrangement around the track and even, just to try it out, speed up the piece by a total of 7bpm during the short run of the track. 

It’s primarily “in the box”, with a few field / modular samples thrown in. Big up to Output’s Exhale plugin in this one, by the way.

disquiet0390 - run with It

This is a response to the Disquiet Junto challenge "Front Page"; a small sentence is taken from a headline (CNN; France just had its hottest day ever recorded!) and mangled... 

I've created a "voice avatar" at LyreBird, and had that AI voice (that to me sounds like a digital ghost of myself) read a single line of the news bit. Then it has been mangled and a few extra sounds added. It's a short piece. But... an important subject.
