Disquiet Junto Project 0610: Speed Limit Pt 2

Disquiet Junto Projects 2023

This track is my contribution to the traditional first Disquiet Junto Project of every year: Record the sound of ice in a glass and make something with it.

All sounds in this track were derived from recording an ice-cube in a champagne-glass and in a whiskey glass.

Love  Melts Ice (Disquiet0575)

This track was created mainly by improvisation. Four different sound layers and their very influential effects were played and mixed in a live session. The piano then was improvised to the drone created beforehand.

Following the Disquiet Junto Project 0576 the drone was divided into two sound parts, and these parts as well as the piano were played and re-recorded in different rooms. The track then was mixed from the three original and their re-recorded stems.

A "drone-only" version without the piano is available at https://soundcloud.com/rabmusiclab/pondering-about-drone-only

Pondering About (Disquiet0576)

This track was inspired by the Disquiet Junto Project (details see below): Build a simple instrument and put it to use.
I chose this old wooden box from my mother's family, but I don't know its history. It would be great if one could wake the forgotten past of such objects...

I recorded four tracks, each time filling the "shaker" with other objects. This tracks were directly used in parallel as drums. Then the composition evolved around this elements...

Réveiller le passé de l'objet (Disquiet0577)

This track was inspired by the Disquiet Junto Project 0578 (details see below): Make music for the year of the rabbit.

Everything started with the inspiring fieldrecording "rabbit drinking" (https://freesound.org/people/BeeProductive/sounds/376187/) kindly provided by BeeProductive on freesound.
I cut that recording into sections ressembling a drum-loop and built everything on top. Drums and bass follow the rabbit's rhythm of drinking, more instruments were added.
A song to celebrate the rabbit - also when drinking water!

Rabbit's Delight (Disquiet0578)

This track is a new version of the track https://soundcloud.com/rabmusiclab/hoffnung-erfreut-den-traurigen-sinn. The intention is to create a new composition that retains the important elements but gives a new listening experience by shifting the focus.

The guitar-part of @Fnubi was replaced by guitar-loops provided by @roeland11 on looperman. The other instruments were adapted to the new harmonics. Some instruments were exchanged, new instruments were added (acoustic guitar, cello, an additional violin).

I owe my thanks to Roeland for providing the following loops used in this track:

30 <---- 60 bpm [disquiet #0610] w/Debroc

Done for Disquiet Junto 0610

This was fun. This is mostly a quick sample of a percussive 4//lIGhT's 60 bpm Stomp bit, repeated excessively, with a tiny guitar-sounding bit from @tristan_louth_robins 's Refactored Drift. Filled out with @XHG 's Acrostic Speed Limit and some from a 4th one, but I forget.

Swrolds Amay - disquiet0610

I slowed the two tracks (“analoc - Blink” and “Andeas Kitzmann - disquet0609”) to 30 bpm with audacity, then mixed and processed the two tracks with csound, finally mastered with flstdio. Thanks to "analoc" Anatol Locker and Andeas Kitzmann.

destroying two - disquiet0610

Disquiet Junto Project 0610: Speed Limit Pt 2
The Assignment: Combine two or more pre-existing 60 BPM tracks into something new — at half the speed.

I selected two tracks that I liked, but more by incident, because I liked many (and most of them felt already finished). But with Refactored Drift from Tristan Louth-Robins (https://soundcloud.com/red_robin/disquiet_junto_0603-refactored-drift-60-bpm) and Transient Melter from ATW (https://soundcloud.com/atw/transient-melter-60bpm-disquiet-0609?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0609) I had the fantasy, that they would make a nice combination of melody and sound. I was very lazy and just slowed them to half speed. I also wanted to keep the result under five minutes, and I wanted both tracks to have some kind of a solo (because the ATW track more or less forced it). I edited and recut in Reaper by taste and justification, and I ignored scales and syncopation correctness (not totally, but they are surely not always "proper"). No additional knick-knacks but some subtile FX.

Thanks to Tristan Louth-Robins (Refactored Drift) and ATW (Transient Melter).

Refactored Melter [disquiet0610]

For this assignment I used my own submission from last week paired with a.a.miles Key Limit which then morphs into Michele Isoni's Chirper which is finally joined by Sunbear's lovely submission. All the parts where brought into ableton, slowed down by half and then warped back to their original pitch. After it was all sequenced I then used a bunch of puremagnetic effects to give the whole thing that worn out vibe (which also resulted in some strange drop outs and flutters which i left)

Many thanks to all that got involved, so many interesting takes on the assignment!
