Disquiet Junto Project 0711: Show & Tell &
The Assignment: Share some recent music; get and give feedback

I have been working on a project: making a sort of mashup of sketches I’ve made over the last few years when away from home. I’ve made these on holidays, or when visiting friends: at times when I don’t have my usual music setup, but can do some noodling and experimenting, using music apps on a tablet and sometimes using a small semi-modular synth.
Since some of these sketches/fragments have nice sounds, or patterns, or themes, I thought I might select a bunch of them that I like, see if some match with respect to rhythm, tempo, tonality, vibe, and then see if I could maybe combine them into a longer piece (adding some extra parts or transitions as needed.

So this is a slightly edited version of a work in progress. Given the amount of material I have, the end result might be something like 3 different pieces that each are between 12 and 20 minutes long. We'll see...

I’m curious how you experience this. 
It will inevitably be, as a result of the process, a somewhat fragmented piece, consisting of bits that were not intended to fit together. Does it feel totally disjointed, like loose sand, random bits that do not gel? Or is it something of a musical journey (as I hope it might be). Would you like to stay a bit longer in the different segments? Or did you feel impatient to move on? Is it nice if some sounds or patterns or themes recur later on?

Some sketches (disquiet0711)

# Disquiet0711

Interlude 1 is my first sketch for an interlude within a ≈ 40 minute piece about the cosmos. It seems like maybe the piece is too thick, but I want to get it out and move on and come back to revisit it after I get all the other pieces in place.

I used Sound Particles to create a few background textures and then decided to improvise a synth bass sound, and then a synth flute, and a brief plucked string sound, all from the Roli Equator software synth. 

I added some delay chaos to the recordings with plug-ins from Valhalla, GRM, and some Tai Chi reverb.

Then in Pro Tools I cut and moved the separately improvised tracks into a composition that tries to capture the vibe while I was performing. 

All the tracks were recorded and mixed in 7.0.2 for this piece. For SoundCloud and your listening convenience I converted the surround sound piece to binuaral with APL Virtuoso. I always have trouble with binaural. It doesn't accurately convey the full spatial quality of the immersive mix as it is supposed to do.

Just a song I've been writing off and on for the last few months.  I wanted it to be all one rough take but ended up fixing some parts that were a little too rough.  Hopefully it can stand on it's own without overdubs, as has been my goal for my compositions the last few years.
