deep breath

This is a something in between a re-mix and a re-make of an old montage piece based on recordings of electrostatic generators that I made in Teylers Museum (Haarlem), and sounds I designed around that. The piece was left out of the actual series of pieces ('Beauty Sleepers') performed there as part of the Toon festival in 2001. The re-make/re-model version was made in loving dedication to my father who passed away on January 24th 2022.

Phlogiston

Small experiment from multiple loooong delays. And some Sidrax organ noises.

Fata Morgana

Sorry!! Too boingey, noisey and random!! Sounds like a broken arcade game ...

Thanks to Junto member XHG (aka Alex) for having proposed this week’s project.

I recorded a track, then played it through a Bluetooth receiver at the limit of its transmission range. I also recorded the EMF around the receiver, while playing the same track at distance. 

The three tracks were merged, using vocoders, and AudioThing's Motor to help add some musicality to the broken Bluetooth track.

This track, my contribution to the Disquiet Junto Project 0629, was created in exceptional circumstances and has a very special meaning to me.

For creating this I selected the middle section of my track https://soundcloud.com/rabmusiclab/rabbits-delight, cut in into a jigsaw puzzle of 6 pieces, present these pieces to the listener first, and then put the puzzle together piece by piece.

Rabbit's New Life  (Disquiet0629)

I rolled a dice, the number was one. Next, I chose AI as my „instrument“.

The guys at Output (known for their lovely VSTs) are heavily invested into AI generated music. You write a prompt, and the engine come back with a whole sample pack in the style you asked for, and not just some stems.

While most music AI isn’t very convincing, I really started to like what they threw back at me. It was more versatile and musical than the other tools I’ve tried so far. Not everything is on point, but they’re plenty of „happy little accidents“, so you get a lot of useful material. And it’s currently for free. And no, I’m not affiliated with them in any way.

So I gave the engine a single prompt „Disturbing experimental session in the style of Mingus, 34 BPM, with chainsaws, bass, distorted guitar and metal objects.“ I used only the samples the AI engine provided without re-pitching, tweaking or even tuning them. Also, no effects were used.

Disquiet Junto Project 0630: Creative Sufficiency

The Assignment: Count your tools in advance of employing them.

This project was proposed by Alex (aka XHG) from Switzerland, who also drew the cover image.

Step 1: The first thing to do is to set a limit. Specifically, you will determine — in advance — how many pieces of equipment or software you will need to produce and record a satisfactory piece of music. Think through what you want to record and what it might take.

Step 2: Now, decide upon a suitable number of items. It is suggested to count DAWs or AU-hosts and each used plugin individually (e.g., the iOS/iPadOS app AUM plus 3 Audio Units = 4 items). In advance of recording, count each piece of equipment and/or software you intend to use for recording. Come up with a total number.

Step 3: Now, produce a piece of music using the amount of equipment you decided on in Step 2. You can use fewer pieces of equipment but no more.

Option: Add a short description to your track. Describe your thinking from Step 1, your equipment from Step 2, and perhaps your experience with the process.

Mingus Chainsaw [disquiet0630]

The Assignment: Take one held tone and make it dance slowly.

This one turned out rather odd, uneven, unfinished, ugly. One of those tracks that I might listen to in a couple of months time and really love, or really detest. 
All of the sounds are originate in recordings of me playing duduk. Starting off with a long note that is looped, and then sent through effects chains (one with some granular stuff and feedback, one with rhythmically opening and closing gates, one with a large reverb. 
Recordings of sustained notes and me tapping the body of the flute are chopped and used as percussion/beat with a rhythm in 7/8.
I made a bunch of improvised recordings and then pasted them together to form the final piece.
