I really love the transition here. This piece is great!

Incredible - wish there was a video of your process...impressive

This track is based on a single sound or recording. Following this week´s Disquiet Junto Project I created all sounds used in this track from this single source using PaulXStretch for creating unexpected sounds from the original, and strong effects for even more sound-manipulation and rhythmic aspects.

This project was proposed by Mahlen Morris.

Overview and Details (Disquiet0668)

Disquiet 0710 invited us to revisit a recent piece of music we’d made, and change it up so that one element becomes louder and busier.

I went back to the ebow drone that I made for 0696 Chain of Layers as my source material. The original version had this very low-key “bump, bum-bump” kick drum as its sole rhythmic component, so that seemed like a good candidate for getting loud and busy.

I added 8 overlapping drum parts that come and go, creating a unique (and busy) percussive pattern every 4 bars. The guitar drones are waaaaay in the background now as the drum machine does its thing, until the end when they make a noisy return.

This was a fun prompt— it was nice to get into programming drums and just stay in that mode all day.

"Hey ambiMatter, you have 100K plays in the last 12 months"

100K plays. I’d say it changed my life, but it mostly just means my laptop fan had to work overtime. Still — thanks for listening.

Une valse de nos ombres

exercise for disquiet junto 0712, barcode inspired. all sounds are generated from a midi representation of a single barcode at various scales.

the cover image’s horizontal lines are drawn directly from a screen grab of the project’s MIDI notes.

the barcode is from Ryoji Ikeda's Matrix CD. (at the end i've layered some field recordings i made at his exhibit at Atlanta's High Museum)

barcode [disquiet0712]

I created this track for Disquiet Junto Project 0712. The assignment involved creating a rhythm by interpreting a barcode. I interpreted the thin lines of the barcode as snare hits and the thick lines as kick drum. I programmed the snare and kick hits into my sequencer with spacing loosely following the spacing in the barcode. I improvised various keys parts over this rhythm. The number code in the barcode guided note selection. To decide which notes I could select from, I set 0 at a Bb, then counting up or down in half steps I could use any notes that were numerically represented in the barcode.

Response to Disquiet Assignment: What rhythm do you hear in a barcode? The first :30 of the piece consists of the barcode: vocal sounds to represent each size of the lines, and one sounds for the biggest space - followed by improvisational vocal sounds repeats of the barcode.
