Beat Accrual

Disquiet Junto | Beat Accrual - disquiet0619

I seldom work like this: creating a charged “full steam” pattern and placing it at the end of a crescendo, then moving backwards removing stuff till there’s nothing left at the beginning. I did it with drum programs a lot, but also with repetitive stuff (pianos, guitars) à la Reich/Riley. I like to have an idea of my “tutti”, my maximum peak in density and intensity, then going there from zero.
This track, recorded today Friday November 10th 2023, started with a programmed drum beat (using for the first time in decades my good old Alesis D4 module that remained unplugged in my rack, just to fill a space)
To complete I added two tracks of a Matrix 12 synth and cello samples (noisy)
The patter is 16 beats long but never in 4x4 time signature, it does something like 7x8 + 6x8 + 3x8
The synths are in straight 4/4.
The weirdness of the drum patter becomes evident as we progress and more elements appear.

The photo is mine, I can’t recall what that is. Paris 2019, it says in the folder…

Flourish Disquiet0619

I play the drums so this disquiet assignment appealed to me. 

I decided that complex for me meant complex timing. I wanted to play something in odd time signatures, and I feel like the number 23 is underrepresented in music. Here was my process:

1. I improvised a 4 bar drum beat in 23/8 time (which I really counted as 8/8, 5/8, 7/8, 3/8), and recorded it in Ableton. 

2. I experimented with a few ways to “accrue” the beat, and decided to accrue by time rather than by part.

3. In Ableton Live, I edited the beat to repeat, but only play a section before repeating. I chose Fibonacci numbers for the length. For the first repeat only 1 8th note of the 4 bar 23/8 repeat plays. Second repeat, 2 8th notes. Third repeat, 3 8th notes. Fourth repeat 5 8th notes, etc until the entire beat is revealed. It took on the feel of a breakbeat.

4. For more accrual, I copied the original 4 bar beat to another track, and used a filter slowly introduce it beneath the Fibonacci cut breakbeat. They are not aligned at first, so there is a kind of beating that takes place between the two until the last full repeat where they are completely aligned.

A solar day is defined as the time it takes for the Sun to return to the same position in the sky as observed from a fixed point on Earth. This rotation is the basis for the division of time into 24 hours, 60 minutes and 60 seconds.
