Graintopia / Tension at the family piano

For this project I used a recording of a walk in the lovely Swiss mountain village of Ernen. You can hear lots of cow bells, children and a stroller. I cut several parts out of the recording that have wind shear, I then pitched them down and looped them, gradually focusing more on the windy parts. Also I added a Glockenspiel arpeggio. Drawing is based on a mural in Ernen.

Ici il reste la clarté

I spent the morning adding my third element to a few tracks and finally decided that my contribution to encym and Jimmy Lem's combo was the most coherent. I was struck by the contrasting tones of encym's off kilter Tele with the controlled chaos of Jimmy's cuatro. Sandwiched in between are some sparse tones from my Terra, fed through the "Vangelis Verb" on the Zoia.

which in turn is built on

@thgirwnhoj - Just Percussion
https://soundcloud.com/thgirwnhoj/disquiet0636-just-percussion

My addition is a pair of bass parts. It was a challenge to make the bass parts stand distinct without being able to shape the other two parts... but I did my best.

I also added a kick. It seemed needed to drive the percussion once there were so many other parts going on. I shamelessly admit that I got the idea from reading @DeDe's write up of their own treatment of the same pair of tracks.  (Didn't listen yet to keep myself ignorant by what is surely a fantastic bass track!)

I resisted the temptation to muck with the two original parts, but I did use the original full-stereo version of Just Percussion, and then I panned it and rightward somewhat left and right, not hard. You should still be able to keep the parts distinct as you listen. As always - if anyone wants stems, or a hard L-C-R mix, just ask.

Traces the various routes that @33per 's first junto0636 track took and subsequently manifested itself in duos and trios. Sprinkled and chopped a bit improvisational extras here and there.

It comprises the following tracks:

My second piece is a cross between points 2 and 3.
As a starting piece I chose the piece by encyn, a true gem of this compilation.
I recovered what was originally supposed to be my 637, then abandoned because the track had already been chosen. In this case without channel limitations.
Starting from this 636 I followed the family tree and chose some 637s and 638s to mix on the starting track.
