Arcadia

For this week's @disquiet Junto Project I'm not quite sure why the Logic Pro Wurlitzer pattern came out so doleful in response to the view from my bedroom window. I'm happy in my home, though I am moving fairly soon, so maybe that's why. I was pretty pleased with the first and third contributions I made to the recent trio projects, so with this I combined a simple tonal part with part of the recorder improvisation by @kate-gallaher in the woods. In the background are the birds and an airplane, similar to the urban sounds I have hear at dawn (though far fewer birds).

Happy 700th @disquiet ! Thank you for making these happen Marc Weidenbaum.

green presence (disquiet0700)

The world outside is under construction.

Who ordered the mission? Who‘s going to pay the in the end?
What will the world look like, will it turn out nice?
From inside its hard to figure it out. 

Disquiet Junto Project 0700: View Frame
The Assignment: Share a peek out your window and some sounds inspired by the view.
Step 1: Take a photo out your window, with a little bit of the frame in view. Show people a glimpse of your world.
Step 2: Record a short, simple piece of music inspired (or otherwise informed) by what you see.

Framing the view [disquiet0700]

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0700: View Frame. The Assignment: Share a peek out your window and some sounds inspired by the view.

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0700 discussion thread on Lines:

Image of our front yard was taken through one of the bedroom windows. We’re lucky to live in a home surrounded by conifers and native California oaks. The calming view of the trees from the windows in some rooms make it seem like we’re in a forest rather than in a neighborhood with other people. I tried to convey the placid mood here. 

This was created in Ableton Live using Slate+Ash Choreographs, Spectres and Orchestral Tools Mirrors. Effects used were Soundtoys Spaceblender, Aberrant DSP SketchCassette II  and builtin reverb. A field recording from the front yard with a water fountain, birds, wind chimes and other ambient sounds was layered in. It was recorded using a Zoom F3 with right angle Pluggy mics. Happy 700th Disquiet Junto! Here’s to many more in the years ahead.

The Assignment: Share the view and some sounds inspired by the view.

The cover picture shows the view from my window. I used a virtual modular system and wanted to create the feeling of crowded chaos, of structure and nervousness, of importance and frivolity. All from a distance, as I am still outside the picture looking out of the window.

The (cover) image does not perfectly equal the inner image I had in mind, as it is lazy sunday afternoon and vacation time, so the city is not that busy at the moment.

used this photo from my window as a graphic score. the elements in this photo mapping to elements in the track.

most sounds in here come from a contact mic applied to the window itself, or the frame.

A little demo of an as yet unreleased plugin that Hannes Pasqualini (Papernoise) sent me a beta of. I can't tell you it's name or what it does but it's used on every instrument here. I'll update this description with more details once the plugin's been announced.

UPDATE: As the plugin's now been announced I can reveal it's name: Frosting, it's a freeze plugin if you hadn't already guessed.
