Disquiet Junto Project 0653: Break a Rule

The Assignment: Stop doing something you always do.

Step 1: Thinks of things you consider unbreakable rules when you make music. Maybe you never use a vocal, or you always use a click track, or you never remake earlier work, or you always use a specific instrument. The longer you think about these rules, the more you’ll unearth rules that you hadn’t even recognized as rules before.

Step 2: Make a list of the self-imposed rules you came up with in Step 1.

Step 3: Choose one rule from Step 2 and record a track in which you break that rule.

Deadline: Monday, July 8, 2024, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.

"Break a rule"?
Honestly I don't have any unbreakable rule,  after so many years working on different projects with so many different people I learned to go for anything, a good idea can bu hidden behind it) .

But: on my main job for films/TV/etc I am often specifically instructed to 'record with a click track". For many reasons having a steady tempo all over a piece of music makes things easier for engineers mixing the music to the video footage, editing, cut/paste etc
Nowadays sound engineers doesn't work  like they used to when I started with a console as they main environment, with knobs, faders and racks of hardware. Now they face a computer and a screen and they love (they need) to have that tempo grid to found their markers and reference points. So providing music with no click can be a problem, they start asking directors/producers "can we use any other music instead?". You don't want that...
Anyway:
These track was created 4 years ago for Universal Production Music and was rejected. They specifically ask for music "with a click" . This one, for a "mystery" pitch, wasn't used and returned to me and I just shelved because the use of the click didn't work ,  the mysterious part of it was gone when each stanza coming exactly at the expected moment (after 2 beats or 4 beats, always). It was too predictable.

I reworked it today for this junto, just changing the spaces between sentences to have a no-tempo gap, sometimes stanzas are moved left to happen sooner than expected, sometimes moved right to have a proper "fermata". Now it is better. 
I'm pretty sure that, if back then I dared to break the "click/constant tempo" rule.

I played piano, accordion, upright bass and some Xylophone. Included some orchestral samples.
I used a photo by Luca Bravo.

Steps in the Night (disquiet0653)

Ballade disquiet0653

This week's Disquiet Junto was, well, disquieting. We were to make a list of rules we never break, and then pick one— to break.

My list was mainly "I don't usually"'s rather than rules proper, but one item stood out: I never use loops. I'm philosophically opposed to loops. (You do you.)

So the challenge for me was: can I use stock loops exclusively and still make it sound like me?

So in creating this piece I didn't allow myself to play, paint, or shift any notes. I just drag-and-dropped the first loops that came to my eye into an arrangement template. The only musical variables I could manipulate were the arrangement, the key and mode (using scale quantization), and the voicings (using pre-existing presets). 

The drums got their own set of loops. The synthetic bass and guitar split notes from 3 loops. The two pads share a loop. The vocal samples are  synthetic and use the default text from a text-to-speech application.

I do not follow any specific rules; anything goes. However, the description of this week's challenge gave me the idea of remixing an earlier track. Although not exactly a rule, this is something I am not in the habit of doing. I chose a track of mine virtually at random (https://archive.org/details/SEQUENCE4_201811) & reworked a part of it.

Disquiet Junto Project 0653: Break a Rule
The Assignment: Stop doing something you always do.

That was difficult because I actually try to ignore rules all the time, but of course I know that I surely follow rules, that are just invisible for me at the moment.

So I started making something ugly because I always try to make "beautiful" music. The first results were so ugly that I couldn't stand it. 

I started minimizing the noise but tried to keep it erratic, discordant, unstructured (yet some structure crept in anyway). At some point it felt unfinished, but somehow like a chartbreaker for the insane top10. Thats where I stopped.
