This really beautiful - it reminds me of a Chas Smith recording I have - great stuff!

Disquiet Junto Project 0177: Netlabel Portrait

March 7th 2021, 7:30 am. Recorded with LOM Uši Pro into MixPre6ii

Among others: tits, nuthatches, woodpeckers, wood pigeons ...

This recording was done with a LOM Geofón at Tystigbreen glacier in Stryn, Norway. I simply buried the Geofón in the snow hoping for the best. Turned out to be a great recording, although I had to push the gain quite a bit in post. In the beginning there’s a snowcat passing 300 meters away, and towards the end an airplane can be heard. These are reference sounds I left in the recording. Quite a lot of thuds from the moving glacier is heard during the recording.

I always enjoy these remixes - get to do stuff I don't usually do... I tried a bunch of stuff: Paul Stretched and Hourglassed the samples, played, folded and reversed the life out of them...but ended up with the three samples loaded into Borderlands on my iPad. I recorded the outcome into Ableton - added a little pingpong delay on one track and some mastering to the whole thing and voila...

Disquiet Junto Project 0177: Netlabel Portrait
Use samples of recent Dark Winter Records releases to produce a sonic image of the label.

Every couple of months the Disquiet Junto hosts a netlabel remix. All of the source audio for a netlabel remix is available for free, non-commercial download and creative reuse thanks to a Creative Commons license. This series of “netlabel remixes” is intended to promote that sort of thoughtful, collaborative sharing.

The netlabel Dark Winter has already released three albums this year. We’re going to use a snippet of one track from each of those records, and in combining them produce a kind of sonic snapshot of the label.

Step 1: Create a new piece of music by using nothing but the following segments of the following songs:

Use the first 30 seconds from “Part 1″ off Scott Lawlor’s World of Ice and Snow:

http://www.darkwinter.com/dw095.html

Use the first 30 seconds from “Underground Shelter” off Nadador Nocturno’s Harsh Winters in the Distance:

http://www.darkwinter.com/dw096.html

Use the first 30 seconds from “DSM III – The Cristalline Entity” off Ovdk vs Seetyca’s Allegorik Symptom Before the Cataclysm:

http://darkwinter.com/dw097.html

Step 2: Upload your track to the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud.

Step 3: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Deadline: This assignment was made in the evening, California time, on Thursday, May 21, 2015, with a deadline of 11:59pm wherever you are on Monday, May 25, 2015.

Length: The length of your finished work should be roughly between one minute and four minutes.

Upload: Please when posting your track on SoundCloud, only upload one track for this assignment, and include a description of your process in planning, composing, and recording it. This description is an essential element of the communicative process inherent in the Disquiet Junto. Photos, video, and lists of equipment are always appreciated.

Title/Tag: When adding your track to the Disquiet Junto group on Soundcloud.com, please include the term “disquiet0177-netlabelportrait” in the title of your track, and as a tag for your track.

Download: Set your track as downloadable, and that it allows for attributed remixing (i.e., a Creative Commons license permitting non-commercial sharing with attribution), per the license of the source audio.

Linking: When posting the track, please be sure to include this information:

**Production Notes**

All sounds you hear derive from three tracks of the Dark Winter net label (see below). Nothing else was added. 

Netlabel remixes at Disquiet Junto are always fun, and this was no exception. I started extracting a loop from the track “DSM III – The Cristalline Entity”. After that I reversed the intros of the other tracks, tried to extract some low notes and get the bass right (no easy task). 

After that, it was just laying out the pieces. I used Ableton Live’s Corpus, the lovely Crossfade Loop Effect from Expert Sleepers and a ton of EQs. 

Yeah, I know, I know, it’s a strange one (again - but I kinda like it that way).

Junction 97 [disquiet0177-netlabelportrait]

Mind on many things; took on this Junto as a wind down, and a quick turnaround. Became sufficiently meditative I can't recall the steps: Some messing about in Audacity to break down the original 3x 30sec into various balanced level blends and blocks - then racked up as AudioMulch feeds through multi-FX structures and out onto the control surface.

Winter's Turn [Disquiet Junto Project 0177: Netlabel Portrait]

I started with a loop of the Scott Lawlor snippet and used a step sequencing EQ filter to softly enforce a tempo. Then I modulated a duplicate of the Lawlor loop to create a melody. And I used granular synthesis of the Nadador Nocturno snippet to create an interesting setting in which to place the melody.

Thanks to Gavin Blackhurst for the sweet boat photo

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.
