The Last Of The Opera Murders [disquiet0637]

Andreas' orchestral musings (listen here: https://on.soundcloud.com/6DcQotEVL1dtwric8) inspired me to dust off a couple of old favourites, amongst them the Moog MurF, to try and come up with some pulsating, filtered low end guitar as well as a bunch of more hissy, trebly improvs. Recorded quite a few takes and selected those bits that complement his gorgeous, sweeping, cinematic track. A fair bit of editing in Logic Pro ensued, adding and subtracting, until the pacing & the mix felt right, with enough room to add to for the next stage, the third track.


Hope you enjoy it and inspires some of you to add your part on top of this!

Ago (disquiet0637 - Andreas Kitzmann & encym)

Made completely from https://soundcloud.com/marcolucchi/esatonale-5, a wonderful track!

Marco Lucchi’s esatonale 5  (ambient mix)

Using slowed down fragments of recordings of pedalled piano notes, @stellato-strings touching her violin with the bow, a creaking piano stool and ticking clock, I created this piece using loops and effects on Ableton Live.

It's my contribution to this week's @naviar-records haiku prompt.

The title 'along' is taken from this haiku poem by Takashi Matsumoto:

'Flowing along
changing its colors
a soap bubble.'

Takashi Matsumoto was a Japanese poet originally from Tokyo. Born into a family deeply interested in nō theater, he also devoted himself to it in his youth until 1921, when he came into contact with Hototogisu magazine and haiku poetry. Beginning the following year, Matsumoto became a student of Takahama Kyoshi. In 1946, he launched the magazine Fue 笛 ('The Flute').

The image is from a fraction of a picture by Rodion Kutsaiev.

The third part of the disquiet junto challenge. 
I added a horn section to the beautiful track by Torsten Goerke (@torstengoerke) and Anatol Locker (@analoc), "Right Beside You [disquiet0637]":https://soundcloud.com/analoc/right-beside-you-disquiet0637?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0637

3 of 3 (Disquiet0638)

I used @daniel-diaz track Australopithecus https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz/australopithecus-disquiet0637-with-tristan-louth-robins which built on  Tristan Louth Robin's (@red_robin) Epochs https://soundcloud.com/red_robin/disquiet_junto_0636-epochs-left-1-of-3-72-bpm

I knew I wanted to play some drums along with their nice groove. Played djembe, then shekere, then full kit. Added in some rhodes harmony and lead and flute leads. Some chanting voices for a celebratory or ceremonial feel. Made me think of traveling across some great plains filled with animals. Evolving this more was fun, thanks to Daniel and Tristan for the great parts to build on!

A fairly paired back generative virtual modular patch assembled using VCV Rack, more or less played itself although I did map physical controls so I could guide the overall shape.

Flowing along changing its colors (naviarhaiku533)

My interpretation of this week's Disquiet Junto was an invitation to consider the concerto: its form, its constraints, its traditions; and to create our own composition based on these traits. I read up, listened, read some more, and made my list of rules and constraints. Then I set to it.

I knew that I wanted the solo/virtuoso instrument to be the ARP2600 that I sampled in the Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio (MESS) a couple of years ago. I improvised some chord movement with a generic pad and got the thin, flute-like ARP lead kind of dancing around on it in a single take. The overall feel reminded me of "Deckard's Blues" from the Blade Runner soundtrack, so I ran with that.

Turns out I had also sampled a Deckard's Dream analog synth at MESS, so that became my pad bed. I added some more support with a Streichfett analog string synth and  bass with a Moog Minitaur. The entire composition is 4 tracks of analog synths (and what should be an illegal quantity of reverb).

"The Voight-Kampff Concerto" is best enjoyed with good headphones, like the ones you got at that little shop under the glittering c-beams near the Tannhauser Gate.

Recorded at NO SIGNAL Multimedia Labs, The Shambles, Chicago USA.
