Disquiet Junto #0670 directed us to compose something rhythmic around the sound of a turn signal. I went one better and added windshield wipers. 

Polyrhythms, frequencies that are askew, and a tempo that seems to lurch like a figure in the fog. Maddeningly, nothing stays in sync for long.

Features physical modeling synth, samplers, and field recordings.

Enjoy “Three Lefts” on a long, nighttime drive with the windows down and the volume up. Recorded at NO SIGNAL Multimedia Lab in the Shambles, Chicago.

Three Lefts (disquiet0670)

This track was created from a short recording of a car turn signal with numerous repetitions, layers and effects, no other sounds added.

So Close (disquiet0670)

Driving a car can evoke different feelings. This improvised track aims to capture the feeling of driving through a beautiful, lonely landscape...

The background sounds are a car's indicator and two slowed down variations of that recording.

The sound is a short excerpt of a longer field recording of a drive, available on freesound at freesound.org/people/rosettastone22/sounds/551484/. Thanks for sharing!

The track was inspired by this week's Disquiet Junto Project:

Drive (Disquiet0670)

Disquiet Junto Project 0670: Right of Way
The Assignment: Music for turn signals.

With an indicator, we either want to turn only left or only right, but in my head it was always left or right within the same indicator. So I added some undecided strings. And because life has many surprises in store that don't want to fit into the constant back and forth, these one too.
