The underlying drone C3-G3-F3 pattern was voiced with the Abstract Crystal Pads plugin from Samplescience. The Cm pentatonic bells are an FM patch in Kilohearts Phase Plant. The original tempo is 85bpm but there is plenty of scope to stretch time and/or chop to fit with lower register and percussion additions.
This track is part one of Disquiet Junto Project 0591 - to record the first part of a trio that will be subsequently downloaded and added to by other Disquiet members.

Better Than One

Better Than One [xiiixxi &  OhWell] - disquiet0592

loved Brooks heavy sound, and those fabulous s p a c e s 
more BASS VI here, a bit of extended technique , metal objects in the strings. then a bit of extra compression and some Ableton Corpus at the last minute or so. my second installment in this weeks disquiet junto challenge.


Disquiet Junto Project 0592: Better Than One
The Assignment: Record the second third of an asynchronous trio.

Please note: While this is the second part of a three-part project, you can participate in one, two, or all three of the parts, which will occur over the course of three consecutive weeks.

Step 1: This week’s Disquiet Junto project is the second in a sequence intended to encourage and reward asynchronous collaboration. This week you’ll be adding music to a pre-existing track, which you will source from the previous week’s Junto project (disquiet.com/0592 14). Note that you aren’t creating a duet — you’re creating the second third of what will eventually be a trio. Important: Leave space for what is yet to come.

Step 2: The plan is for you to record a short and original piece of music, on any instrumentation of your choice, as a complement to a pre-existing track. First, however, you must select the piece of music to which you will be adding your own music. There are tracks by numerous musicians to choose from. The majority are in this playlist:

Step 3: Record a short piece of music, roughly the length of the piece of music you selected in Step 2. Your track should complement the piece from Step 2, and leave room for an eventual third piece of music. When composing and recording your part, don’t alter the original piece of music at all, except to pan the original fully to the left if it hasn’t been panned left already. In your finished audio track, your new part should be panned fully to the right.

A second contribution to this project. I downloaded the track by OhWell & halF unusual (https://soundcloud.com/half-unusual/half-better-disquiet0592-collaboration-with-ohwell?), & added some extra electronic noise.

My version of a remote trio. I contributed the "vocals" which were generated by running noise through Adobe Podcast... which tried to turn the noise into words.

Disquiet Junto Project 0593: The Charm
The Assignment: Record the second third of an asynchronous trio.

I decided for https://soundcloud.com/micheleisoni/the-mystic-disquiet0592 based on https://soundcloud.com/caustic_gates/disquiet0591-patchouli-wash because I liked it's mysteriosity and because it left some space. I added two tracks of rhythmic elements, both made with a patch from my AEmodular system, knobbed live to somehow fit the existing music. I allowed myself to decenter it a little bit and to change the volume balance. Thanks to Michele Isoni and Caustic_gates!

Mysterious Patchouli Triangle [disquiet0593] (Krakenkraft / Michele Isoni / caustic_gates)

I was listening through the tracks and hit "The Lonely Pelican Has a Friend" and it absolutely wowed me with its gorgeousness combined with just a bit of glitchyness. The delay on the guitar made me think about setting up a Frippertronics-like loop and playing that over top.

I loaded the original track into AUM's file player on the iPad, fired up the iOdyssey app, and found a suitable fluty/chirpy patch; I've been itching to try it out more, and this seemed like just the right thing for it.

I added the K7D audio effects unit to give me a panning looper for the Odyssey, and recorded two takes of the original plus the Odyssey. Neither of which was quite what I wanted -- just a little thin...so I decided, why not try both? 

I loaded both takes and the original track into AUM, and played it all back in sync to record the final track. This slightly emphasized the grittiness in spots, but I decided that I liked the effect...partly because it is interesting, and partly because getting two more isolated takes was more time than I had to spend.

This was definitely couch (actually bed) synthesis; I did the whole performance, recording,  and mixing on the iPad. I only needed to move the final track to the Mac to MP3 encode and add the track metadata before uploading.

Downloaded the final track, as noted, and tagged the file with Fission, generating a quick bit of art with ML.

Disquiet Junto Project 0594: Threemix The Assignment: Remix an asynchronously produced trio.

I didn’t have a lot of time the past two weeks, so while I started a couple of things, I didn’t finish anything.
Going through these half developed sketches, to see if anything might be a good starting idea for this week’s remix challenge, I was drawn in by a loop I made using @Melondruie and @Fake-Genius piece Quietude Disturbed from week 2 (https://soundcloud.com/melondruie/quietude-disturbed-disquiet0592).
I thought the piece had a bit of a Burial feel to it, so as a sound design challenge, I tried to make a Burial kind of beat to go with it, using sounds I made tapping and scraping an old Zither I bought second hand (and that I mostly tend to use as a place to put my headphones, apparently).

Going through the playlist for week 3, I noticed that pieces based on @encym ’s week 2 contribution Tête à tête (https://soundcloud.com/encym/tete-a-tete-disquiet0592 built on the week 1 piece of @andreas-kitzmann) fit harmonically with Quietude Disturbed. Also, these pieces, and especially @RabMusicLab’s La tête éblouissante (https://soundcloud.com/rabmusiclab/la-tete-eblouissante) fit rather well stylistically. So, I wondered if I could mash these pieces up together in some way. At first, I intended not to use the Burial-esque beat, because… well… because it’s such a blatant ripoff. But by that time, I’d been hearing the loop for a while, and the sound had nested in my head: other rhythmic ideas didn’t cut it. Neither did doing away with a rhythmic element altogether.

So, there you have it.

Quietude Disturbed (campos Remix - disquiet0594)

I really admire the direction that @encym took the @noodletwister and @sinnysounds collaboration. I took the three iterations and panned them on Audacity, then used effects and fade. Here's what transpired.
