For Disquiet Junto Project508
The Assignment: Use the Shepard tone to create a piece of music.


This one was difficult but I had to do it, a few years ago I was asked to create a piece of music for a documentary using Shepard Tones like Christopher Nolan does perfectly on his movies. They had no budget for Hans Zimmer and they called me, ok.
But unlike Zimmer I was incapable to create orchestral textures using Shepard Tone, it never worked and ended up giving up. I did something honourable with plain sine waves but using instruments and orchestral samples I couldn’t get that sensation of “never-ending” rise or fall, I could hear the cycle starting over, etc. Very frustrating.
I got took a rain check on that and kept my unfinished research sessions for later. Yesterday finally this junto prompt decided me to face it and try to do it. I worked 12 hours on this thing, it is still a work in progress but it is getting closer to what I wanted.

I used several Shepard Tones, always ascending, using orchestral samples, sine waves (Ondes Martenot and Reaktor) and added some proper music combined with the Shepard drones (solo cello, orchestral percussion, brass and string's dystopian samples)

Ghosts of the Equatorial Stars [disquiet0513]

A nice bed to layer your creations on top of -- made entirely with Leafcutter John's Forester software, a wildly inspiring MAX/MSP instrument that I sent my sounds through (guitar and beats in this case). No further overdubbing apart from the acoustic guitar coming in around 2/3 of the way through.

Just a quick note: In the instructions, Marc asked for the first layer, this week's basic track, to be panned left in order to leave room for the second and third overdubs in the stereo spectrum. I decided to leave the track as is to not diminish the listening experience. 

Any collaborators wishing to add their sounds should pan this left in their DAW. 

I'm looking forward to listening to what you'll be adding. And for anyone interested in the Forester software: http://leafcutterjohn.com/forester-2022/
