Into Smog (disquiet0476)

The first thing that stuck out to me from this image was the traffic, so I got some traffic samples. The balconies made me think of replicating the moment of hearing other people in the distance/through walls/in an obfuscated way so I downloaded samples of people talking. All the samples are from freesound.

The image has a haunting, distant quality to it, something I wanted to capture with a synth. I played around with the Applied Acoustics Systems Ultra Analog Session plugin in Ableton and I quite liked the synthy sound of it. The bit at the end is the same synth but pitched down. 

All the samples have a low-pass filter applied, the vocal samples have multiple echos, delays and instances of Multiband Dynamics to create a distant, removed feeling to it. I chopped up some bits from the traffic samples and spread them through the song. 

And that's it. Enjoy!

Stochastic Sextet (disquiet0477)

Disquiet Junto Project 0477: Record a piece of music in which some substantial portion is performed without looking.

I was doing something else on my iPad, sitting outside in the sun this afternoon, when the nearby bells belled. I suddenly remembered a sentence I read just yesterday, that natural idiophones where the best base for granular synthesis. I managed to record the already fading bells with the iPad and loaded copies of the samples into the Samplr App. It's three tracks with the original sample (I mixed the unchanged version to the beginning of the track), two of them very normal, one very high und unrecognisable as such. This settings and the recording in AudioShare I did by looking, then I flew blind, which is not impossible as Samplr gives you some defined area to touch (and you need to look to stop the machine or tracks with two fingers). But as the iPad surface does not give any haptic feedback, there were a lot of things going wrong anyway. This track uses around 5 minutes that sounded pretty good to me, but maybe it's just because I like church bells. Trivia: In this case it's the St. Maximilian church in Munich, Germany, and the bells have vintage names like Otto, Ludwig, Maximilian and Salve and they bell every saturday afternoon at 3 p.m. (and no, I didn't knew that until I checked Wikipedia for this description).
