Disquiet Junto Project 0571: Child’s Play
The Assignment: Make music inspired by a nursery rhyme.

I opted for "Fuchs Du hast die Gans gestohlen" (Fox you stole the goose), a German nursery rhyme from around 1824 based on an older folksong. Which seems to be, by what so ever strange reason, also very popular in Japan. It was written by Ernst Anschütz, whom you may know via "O Tannenbaum". Because I am just in love with some presets (yes) in Pigments, which use wavetables based on the MicroQ I once had (for the interested ones: Playhugger Microns https://www.plughugger.com/pigments-microns.html ), I currently do everything with these pads, and the results may be doubted. Anyway, I went for a slow ambient pads arrangement of this song, using only the original melody material plus some probabilities. At the end it did not sound like a lullaby at all (and does not say anything about nursery rhymes), but I liked it very much for what it is. At one point I added some sweet bells and stuff, but I always went back to this somehow brutal and unkrakenkrafty version.

Fuchs Du Hast Die Gans Gestohlen [disquiet0571]

For my first participation to the Disquiet Junto Project, I chose the theme of the lullaby because it' s a genre that I am passionate about and that I have already worked on in the past.
The melody I used as a guideline comes from a very old Welsh lullaby called Peis Dinogat (Dinogad's Smock). It appears in a 13th century manuscript but was probably composed some century earlier. The lyrics, which I have deliberately left out in order to turn it into an instrumental piece, tell of a father's exploits on the hunt, perhaps in the mode of lament. Among the list of animals, there is mention of a place, Derwennydd Falls, whose precise location is open to speculation.
To fit the lullaby genre, I have kept the melody in all its beauty and simplicity by repeating it from beginning to end. The use of panning is also there to suggest the pendulum movement.
Enjoy your listening!

Disquiet Junto Project 0572: Rhythm Kit
The Assignment: Make a beat that someone else will add to.

Note: This project is the first of a two-parter. You don’t need to participate in both, and you can easily participate in the second one (next week) even if you don’t participate in the first one.

Instruction: Record a beat with the intension that someone other than yourself will add something to it at a later date. It’s preferable that you record something that lasts between one and three minutes, but it’s also fine to record something shorter with the intention that someone will loop it — or something longer, for that matter.

---

Track notes:

I always like when one of the more beat-oriented prompts comes up because it gets me to think about rhythm tools, which I'm fairly inconsistent with. 

I thought I would would use my modular synth to generate the beat starting with a trio of samplers triggered by dividing and multiplying clock dividers. The resulting three samples are then routed through some signal manipulation: a wasp filter, stereo delay and Make Noise Morphagene. I also had some fun with a sample and hold which controls the pitch CV of one of the samples.

It felt like there was space to do free playing and scary sounds with the really full and luscious beat loop (https://soundcloud.com/triermusic/because-seven-point-five-v2) provided by @triermusic. I added a couple of basses and a string sound aiming for as dissonant as possible. Enjoyed doing this.

Since 2005, Louth-Robins has presented work in Australia and internationally as a solo artist, whilst also collaborating with artists, writers, researchers, musicians and performers. 

Working across a vast array of activities encompassing composition, sound design, installation art, field recording and workshops, his work has been featured in events such as the Adelaide Festival of Arts (2006), The National Regional Arts Festival (2012), Mildura-Wentworth Arts Festival (2013), Fairfax Festival (2013) and Adelaide Fringe Festival (2014); and selected works exhibited at galleries including The Australian Experimental Art Foundation (2009), SASA Gallery (2012, 2015), Light Square Gallery (2012) and FELT Space (2015).
