Deep Breakfast 223 - Rosillon

Fresh from the cauldron, I present a corrosive transmutation from silver to gold! You can even hear the ingredients crack, pop, and sizzle during the process.

What's the recipe? I used two takes from an old session (called Silver and Gold) with my beloved Cocoquantus (hence the crack, pop, and sizzle). A new plugin called Secta can split an audio file dynamically into different frequency ranges - it works nicely on some material but not on others. I managed to extract a low-frequency version ("copper"), some high mids ("tin"), and an envelope-gated version ("sulfur"), the latter. 

My initial idea was to phase-cancel the generated parts with the original track. That didn't work, as I was too stupid to apply the technique on a stereo track. So I faded out the original loop, built a transition with copper, lead, and sulfur, and ended with the gold track. 

Magic.

Disquiet Junto Project 0628: Alchemical Brothers The Assignment: Explore an aspect of the ancient occult science using music.

Step 1: There are, we’re told, seven stages of alchemy, the ancient occult science concerned with the transformation of matter. The third of these stages is “Separation,” which is symbolized by the element of air. Since air is closely associated with the transmission of sound, Separation suggests itself as a stage of alchemy that might be explored through music. Read up a bit on alchemy.

Step 2: Produce a piece of alchemy-inspired music that explores the concepts of “transformation” and “separation” as you interpret them.

Trying To Find Gold In The High Mids [disquiet0628]

“Earth is turned into water black and blue / And water after into air under very white,” wrote George Ripley in his 1471 work The Compound of Alchemy. “Of this Separation I find a like figure.” Heavy stuff.

Suss Müsik believes all sound to be a process of experiential transformation, a constant shifting of directional timbres and tones. Musically speaking, it’s difficult to explain why some sounds seem to have more success combined with others. It might simply be our biases at work (Suss Müsik, for example, uncovers alchemy in any classic Thom Bell production). Or perhaps something more mystic takes place on a subconsciously metaphysical level. 

The approach Suss Müsik took with this week’s Junto was to begin quite literally with blue and white noise, pushing and turning the voltages the same way an acoustic instrument might move air into water. The sound was manipulated by various self-built electronic gadgets and MIDI devices. The piece was composed (well, more like discovered) and recorded quickly to 8-track.

The piece is titled Tetraptative, a Middle English adjective whose only appearance in written or spoken form is believed to occur in Ripley’s text:

And Separation is called by Philosophers definition, 
Tetraptative dispersion of the said four elements.

Transmutation (disquiet0628)

For the second third of what will become a trio, I improvised over the neat track: https://soundcloud.com/encym/neat_disorder_disquiet0636?si=b9ddc52764ed4a2aa016f867b517e4fc&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing by @encym

The right side was made with a meaty and glassy combo instrument using Pigments and Falcon. 
Following the approach of the original track on the left, I made a sparse arrangement, with plenty of air and spectrum for future collaborators.

Deep Breakfast 257 ~ Material Object

I keep edit folders for things that have yet to find a use and chose 3 clips.
The first stage is done in Logic using the clavier, folk lute, and flute synth instruments. I did not do a slow transition into stage 2 (my bad) and wanted to avoid a crossfade but I felt there was enough similarity in the rhythm quality to be a sort of integral continuation.
The second stage is thumb piano and percussive loops, and Kaossilator.
The third stage is guitar and Kaoss Pad 2, some rhythm from a Digitech rp100a pedal. Supposed to be shorter relative to stage 2 but I was not paying attention at the time of the edit and was more concerned with end length instead of section length, apologies.
