Filamenti (disquiet0614)

One aspect of the track I contributed last week was using multiple sounds to create varying rhythmic patterns. This week's track produces changing rhythms using a single sound with inbuilt threefold delay.

Triple Trouble (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.

Disquiet0614 Drums First: The Key to Unlocking Your Potential

This is linked to my track from last week, in both of which I intend to create changing rhythmic patterns. I made a couple of tracks similar to this one but was not entirely satisfied with some of the uneven & glitchy sounds, which were not exactly what I was aiming for. Of course, this is only my opinion & I am probably not the best judge of my own work. At least, although not exactly humorous, it is quite jaunty & light-hearted.

Not Quite Right (disquiet0615)

hello everyone,

in 1971, flower travellin' band released their epic album "satori". i found a reuters' news report from the same year and fed it through the excellent text-to-speech function built into microsoft edge, and then slowly added grit using audiothing's wires. i don't own a bass guitar, so i laid down the bass line with my gibson guitar and pitched shifted the recording down an octave. drums are native to ableton (64 pad rock kit). i also added some spitfire strings, four layers of live guitar, and one or two granular things. enjoy!!

Disquiet Junto Project 0618: Burying the Lede
The Assignment: Turn old news into new music.

I love reading very old news articles and noticing the ways life is still the same and the ways is very different. I wanted to find something from 100 years before I was born in The San Francisco Chronicle. My actual birthday (August 20th) was missing pages in the archive where I looked (newspapers.com) so I went with August 27th, 1884. I enjoyed the style of writing and storytelling about a dog that was addicted to opium. It carries echos of the present day anxiety about fentanyl but in other ways has no moral or backstory - just a snapshot of life.

To create this sonically, I used the "Matthew" voice from TTSmp3.com and played a bit with inserting commands for spacing or emphasis on particular words (always a challenge with text to speech). It worked OK though I think this piece might have been good with someone just reading it.

After creating an initial draft of the piece where I faded out the voice to let the music take over, I thought it would be more fun to disappear him into something that sounds more musical. So I auto-tuned the voice to try to keep it to F# and G. Then I exported the voice file and uploaded it into Holly+, Holly Herndon's AI tool for converting any audio file into her voice. This created something staticky and singsongy. I crossfaded this with the original voice and then chopped up some bits that worked rhythmically for the end.

Just because, I included a little sound design early on using a "Victorian street" simulation by Timbre on Freesound.org. I then processed it and played it backwards, as is *required* of any *real* sound art...

Process notes -
This track started out as a loop that I made in FL Studio on 05 Feb 2005 called "orchomainb." I have folders and folders of these old FL loops on my drive and backup, maybe 100-200, starting around 2000/01.

I imported a piece of this loop, which was something like bass, drums and some strings into Ableton Live as a wav file and had Live create a melody MIDI clip from it.

A rough idea of the tools I used
- 8 native Live MIDI effects
- Arturia Piano V3
- several of Live's and Arturia's delays and compressors
- Puremagnetik's Partikl delay
- Mastered with Ozone 9 on a fairly gentle setting.

This original version of "Pinch Appeal" was submitted as part of ​Disquiet Junto Project 0621: The Leftovers. The Assignment: Use recently discarded material to make something new.

“Recent” is relative here - I have recordings back to the 80s. The early 2000’s was the first time I amassed more of my own audio (and photos, btw) than I could use, so I reached back to that time. I wanted to honor that time in my life today.

It would also be fair to note that I have about 4-8 albums/releases under this name that remain unreleased.
