Disquiet Junto Project 0177: Netlabel Portrait

Disquiet Junto projects

wanted to see how muchh of my music is on here.. 35 hours! awesome 

sevenism.bandcamp

big bag of music

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:

“disquiet0177-netlabelportrait” on the border of black ice

**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

Spring Palindromes (Dark Winter snippets) (disquiet0177-netlabelportrait)

I was playing around with Cecilia5 which is awesome for real-time processing, clicked random sound which came up with a vocoder preset and it had already emphasized the bells and got rid of most of the background sounds! I fiddled about with it coz there was a little distortion and to make it sound a little more weird but then all i needed to do was a bit of gentle levelling and fading out in audacity. This is the first couple of minutes.

Disquiet Junto Project 0178: Berlin Bells
Emphasize the bells in an urban field recording.

Step 1: Download the audio file at this URL. It is a field recording of urban Berlin by Michael Raphael (aka Sepulchra):

https://goo.gl/C3kJNA

Step 2: Rework the source audio in a manner that reinforces the melodic component of the bells. Beyond that sole instruction, the choices are up to you.

Step 3: Upload your track to the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud.

Step 4: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Bells {rndm vocode} 001 (disquiet0178-sepulchrabells)

*shortened for space. full track here: https://hearthis.at/sevenism/chinook-showroom-ambientechoes-disquiet0179-techniquetalk/*

The main thing I've learned recently is how to cede control to an instrument, like how inuits (and other cultures) say: the sculpture is already there. i just need to tease it out. So there's more of a collaboration, feedback loop, between performer and instrument.

Here, I used acidrack pressed the random button to get a synth tone, then pressed random again because i didnt like the first one. i fed this tone through a load of echo and delay in podfarm. i used excel to generate random notes, then improvised based on these constraints. 

The long rhythmic echoes suggested long gaps between the notes but sometimes these echoes were lower in the mix so i'd play quicker, at the same time i was cognizant of what had already happened and how close it felt to the end.

The track title was found by 'conducting' my swype keyboard on my phone to produce two words. Art was found by searching google images for these words and manipulating an image i liked

Disquiet Junto Project 0179: Tech(nique) Talk
Show off (and explain) one thing you’ve learned recently about an instrument/tool.

Step 1: Think of one thing in the recent past you’ve “figured out” related to how you use an instrument or another piece of technology to make music.

Step 2: Record a short piece of music that employs that technique.

Step 3: After uploading the piece, explain in the accompany text (and/or in the captions to the SoundCloud file) what the thing is you’ve figured out, so others can benefit from what you’ve learned. Explain how you’ve employed it in the track.

Step 4: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Chinook Showroom {ambientechoes} [disquiet0179-techniquetalk] (shortened)

I represented each of the six dolls as an instrument -  the bass doll, then opening up we hear my voice, then mountain dulcimer, then kalimba, 12 string guitar and glockenspiel. Then I reversed it as the doll is put back together and we just hear the bass to close.

The bass starts off with more fx then I remove more and more fx from the instruments as it opens up.

I tried to restage the image with my instruments!

Disquiet Junto Project 0180: Matryoshka Music
Use the Russian nesting dolls as a model for a musical composition.

Step 1: Consider the Russian nesting doll called the matryoshka, in which hollowed-out wooden figurines are designed to be stored inside each other, excepting the smallest doll, which is solid.

Step 2: Compose a short piece of music that somehow takes as its basis the doll’s structure. (For a further constraint, imagine a matryoshka consisting of 6 dolls.)

Step 3: Upload your completed track to the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud.

Step 4: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Deadline: This assignment was made in the early evening, California time, on Thursday, June 11, 2015, with a deadline of 11:59pm wherever you are on Monday, June 15, 2015.

Length: The length of your finished work is up to you, but between two minutes and four minutes is probably best in this context.

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.

Matryoska (disquiet0180-matryoshkamusic)

*shortened to make space. longer versn here https://hearthis.at/sevenism/matryoska-demo-kpple-concpt-remix/*

the first recording of vocals for my matryoska track i couldnt fit with the other instruments. i loved the concept of this track: https://soundcloud.com/jmmy-kpple/untitled-matryoshkoid-disquiet0180-matryoshkamusic and used it here.. although for the first minute i was stretching it rather than compressing it but fuck it i love mistakes, and anyway it degrades the sample further which i wanted because it wouldve taken too long to record 50 odd iterations at decreased mp3 quality.

this was too creepy for my girfriend 'why have you got to make frightening music?'

matryoska demo (kpple concpt remix) (shortened)

when i was 12 or 13 my music teacher at school was horrible: mean and impatient - she'd grab kids fingers and press them hard into the 'right' keys when we made mistakes. there was no relationship between my burgeoning love of music and what i had to contend with at school. i never learnt to read music, and looking at this image reminds me of sitting in front of a keyboard thinking 'what the fuck?'

so i sat in front of my electric piano and just played what i felt. then i've hidden this playing in a number of ways - i've cloned the track and blurred it with paulstretch, reverb, echo a few times.

and i used amazing midi to convert the recording to midi to add some random variance and then created 3 separate soundscapes with different fx in live 8

Disquiet Junto Project 0205: Superposition
Interpret boxed-up music-education materials as a graphic-notation score.

This week’s project falls broadly into the category of “graphic notation.” It uses a found assemblage as its starting point.

Step 1: Look at this image associated with this project, and imagine it as a score in the tradition of graphic notation:

http://disquiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/20151203-560×560.jpg

Step 2: Record a piece of music based on that score in Step 1.
