Slow & Low (RabMusicLab, Samplair, A.Kitzmann)(disquiet0610)

Harmonium
Fretless bass
Arpeggiators/Synths
String orchestra samples.

I often work with arpeggiators, and I like to combine their kinetic, steady pulse with ambient parts, rubatto and floating.I particularly like to add acoustic "real" instrument to and icy electronic arpeggiator synth. I do like all those contrasts : rhythmic vs floating, acoustic vs electro, tense vs relaxing cold vs warm etc

Here I had an old , unused acoustic Indian Harmonium improvisation, played rubatto, no tempo, no click.
I tried to add more floating tracks, a fretless bass melodic impro, some string samples, etc but still didn't quite go nowhere..A menacing, repetitive and obsessive ARP could save the track, I thought.

So I tried to add a tempo-sync arppeggiator, but it was difficult to find a right tempo for the ARP track, rhythm that makes sense with the ambient pace. To make it worst, the Harmonium did start to play a more rhythmic bit around the 01:53 mark, and the rhythm didn't quite fit. Tried many different tempos and mixes, this is what I got Friday 6th October 2023 in the morning, before I have to abandon this and go to work..

You can find my track notes for this submission at the Lines forum here:

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

This is a slightly different take on last week’s project.

Step 1: Think of something related to making music that you do a lot.

Step 2: Think of an alternate way to do it that challenges your habits.

Step 3: Make a piece of music using the approach you thought of in Step 2.

[Disquiet_Junto_0614] Diffuse

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.

A Piano Tempest is Approaching (Disquiet0614)

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.

Bitter Suite In The Ozone [disquiet0616]

Hi, lately I’ve been working a lot (for a professional assignment) on orchestral soundscapes, so my previous Soundcloud shares were done using sample libraries, a friend’s cello performance and my own upright basses (using my bow)

This one, recorded yesterday and edited and finished today (Friday the 27th Oct 2023 is just me and my multitracked bowed bass , to achieve a noisy, creepy tone I didn’t use any rosin on the bow, so i could get some nasty tones bowing very hard and all around the strings. It was fun, just improvising one track on top of the previous and playing around some cathedral convolution reverbs, a Lexicon Hall at 18 seconds and one instance of the great Valhalla Supermassive (always useful for this stuff, with the right settings it transforms a noisy harmonic into a gorgeous sustained pad )

This one’s dedicated to William Burroughs and is called Rotten Ectoplasm.
Happy Halloween to everybody.

Rotten Ectoplasm (disquiet0617)

Artist and non-musician making visionary sound art with found objects.

I collect litter and make small scale sonic sculptures and rudimentary instruments. When I play them I’m thinking of natural rhythms like the wind in the trees or animal movements.
