interesting approach and haunting result; great

Sounds like when dry autumn leaves swirl in the wind :)

Different approaches - 'alternate routes' - for this Disquiet Junto contribution include creating a loop in FL Studio (which I rarely use and I also rarely use a straight continuously looping loop), using the wonderful apesoft iVCS3 iPad app for the mad whistling barking Synthi track (rather than the also-but-differently-wonderful Arturia plugin), and making good use of the amazing MeldaProduction MMorph (which I should definitely use more) ... The results are beautifully unusuaL, though, if a little crazy ... hope you can still enjoy!

Filamenti (disquiet0614)

This track was created as response to the Disquiet Junto Project 0614: Do something you often do, but differently.
Instead of improvising a piano-melody over a field-recording, this time I created a background ambiance based on pianos and improvised noise sounds to it.
The 5 different background pianos are played by the generative MIDI sequencer Transition employing high measures of randomness (free VST-plugin available at www.codefn42.com/transition/index.html).
Three different noise-sounds were improvised with the MIDI-keyboard to this piano-background.

sound art for disquiet0614
I make small sonic sculptures or rudimentary instruments from found objects. For disquiet0614 I played the other side of the sculptures with an animal bone.

Hands Off Disquiet0614

Disquiet Junto Project 0614: Alternate Route
The Assignment: Do something you often do, but differently.

Playing acoustic instruments into a system of effects is a thing I’ve been doing a lot. Usually I do this in an improvisational, exploratory way: having only a rough idea of what I want to start off with, and then just seeing (actually: listening) where the music will take me.
Something I’ve been thinking about is using this way of playing in a context where at least some of the material is composed, thought out before hand.
So I used the prompt to do a bit of experimenting in this area.

The piece I made uses Erik Satie’s Gnossienne 2 as its main material. 
My idea was to dissect that piece into its component parts, then play and explore around those separate parts and in the end stitch the recordings together into something that would stay true to the original score. A sort of rearrangement.
In the end I had to abandon that idea. Lack of time mostly. And also, I thought it worked better to give some of the non-melody parts a bit more space.

The instruments used are piano (actually: sampled piano), kalimba, duduk, zither. And I used mainly three effects chains: one centred around saturation (on the duduk), one around using lfo’d panning - and a bit of distortion - as a sort of tremolo effect (on the zither), and one around using reverb with varying room size - giving a sort of tape warble feel - (on the whole mix).

I can see some potential for this way of working with composed material (also using my own compositions), though using composed material while still retaining the notion of the music arising in the moment of playing (that is: without requiring a lot of editing), is a different matter.
