Two gorgeous instruments and beautiful music.

Then some 'sound' without overdoing it, very nice work.

Created for the Disquiet Junto Project 0523: Chill Communication
@disquiet

The Project: Record the sound of ice in a glass and make something with it.

These ice samples were recorded by whirling ice cubes in a growler back in 2017. I looped a section and processed that through a Make Noise Strega, recording the piece mostly as one improvised take where I 'played' the filter to create layers of feedback in the delay. There is one overdub where I improvised repitching the same ice loop in Samplr and also processed that through the Strega, creating different tones of delay feedback. There's a bit of judicious volume envelope editing added in post to calm the feedback swells a bit. It all reminded me of a slow motion version of the wild ricochet sounds made by dropping ice down a bored ice core well.

Many congrats and thanks to Marc ( @disquiet ) and Happy 10th Anniversary to the Junto!!

"To dream is to forget.." - Fernando Pessoa. The Book of Disquiet

"I’ve been living with the minor second all my life and I finally found a way to handle it…" Morton Feldman, 1982

Co-commissioned by and written for Ensemble Modern, London Sinfonietta and Remix Ensemble

Cyclically floating between different phases of density and intensity, minor and major, slowing or accelerating waves, the piece is woven from hypnotically repetitive patterns of 7 slightly different tempos which intertwine through 16 lines of the ensemble conceived as a complex human body with regular breathing, heart beating, eye movements, blood flow etc., all happening at the same time but not synchronised.

The title “Sleeping Patterns” refers to the brain wave oscillations through different sleep stages as well as to the Morton Feldman’s question “Why Patterns?”

Duration: 20’

Instrumentation: fl, ob, cl, bsn, tpt, hn, tbn, acc, kbd, 2 vibr, 2 vln, vla, vc, cb

I did this track in response to Disquiet Junto Project 0595: Filter Progression. Below are the steps I took.

Steps:

-record a tone using a single back-and-forth motion with bowed bass guitar
-in Reaper, stretch it to 1/10 speed retaining original frequency
-record onto 1/4" tape @ 7 1/2 ips 
-play back at half-speed (3 3/4 ips), creating a ~7-minute passage
-feed into Erica dual black VCF
-modulate cutoff & resonance by hand
-add both slewed and direct voltages from Ornament-8 into the filter
-record result, mix for small speakers, master
