This is my submission to the Disquiet Junto 549 and the assignment was "Get intentional with stereo". Usually I make a habit of putting all voices in my pieces purposefully on a position in the stereo spectrum or let them move around in a useful way. For this assignment I took this to a higher level. The kick and the snare are jumping from side to side. The hihat is happily hopping around. The bass just wobbles a bit. There are two melodies in which the stereoposition is connected to the pitch. There is a low melody on the left and a high melody on the right and they meet somewhere in the center.

Everything's moving

Everything's Moving (disquiet0549)

This piece is a response to the 550’th prompt from Disquiet Junto  - this time a collaboration between Tobias Reber from Musikfestival Bern.

I’ve taken four images, displaying the randomness in nature - boards from a deck, a flower, the sky and 3 pigeons on a roof, and enhanced, extracted and encoded random figures from it. (See the accompanying image). 

The resulting sequences of numbers are used either as rhythmical or pitch “notes” - and everything is scaled around A Super-Locrian scale.  Four tracks are thus constructed (theme, bass, pads and bd) around these encodings.

I’ve added small fx and extra “pulsing rhythms” for interest.

first I took a black piece of paper and sprinkled ash on it
then I took a picture of it
I drew four lines
decided on four tone generation
determined the x/y parameters
then I recoded

the result was immediate
have fun listening

Graphic score based on interpretation of drained tea leaves.

Patch on my modular system is built on a repeating sequence of 8 triggers from which the pitch is also derived (Turing Machine) - on/off state initialised from the graphic score shown. Sequence flips in and out of double speed (intrinsic to patch, not part of score).

3 latching gates (gt1, gt2 and gt3) and two control voltages (cv1 and cv2)are used to control various parameters of the patch. These are also as shown in the graphic score and determined by arrangement of tea leaves.

Disquiet Junto Project 0554: Cage Chord

L'accordo musicale completo viene usato dagli strumenti che producono la fascia continua di base. Le singole note dell'accordo servono invece per creare gli elementi ritmici che si sovrappongono a questa base, che sono loops di percussioni/batteria processati da campionatori granulari.

The full chord is used by the instruments that produce the basic continuous sound. The single notes of the chord are used instead to create the rhythmic elements that overlap the base, percussion / drum samples processed by granular samplers.
