1.31 / 2.50 [disquiet0065-pianoverlay]

Recording process:

Took an excerpt from Jeffery Melton's Unwind piece and converted to mono so it is centered in the mix.

Recorded a quick loop using the Tempest Drum machine and looped playback during live performance on a Mopho X4 synth using the 'push it' button to create a drone with a simple melody over top the drone.

-May Jeffery rest in peace.

This track is a posthumous collaboration with Jeffrey Melton, aka Nofi, who passed away on March 30, 2013. It was recorded live in April 2013 atop a June 2012 Melton live recording.

National Poetry Month: forming [disquiet0067-odysseymachine]

Recording Notes:

The tracks were sliced per instruction and placed into Logic Pro.

Track #1 [The final 20 seconds of “The Find Beauty, Even in the Mundane”] was 'reversed' and move to finish out the track with the Spectral Gate plugin added to it.

Track #2: [The first 20 seconds of “Immaterial Girl”] is the main focus of the remix I used the opening of this track's snippet as the opening and the last part of snippet was sliced and looped and used as the main part of this song.  Different parts of the loop were then sliced further and placed randomly throughout the song with different effects such as tremolo, reverb and delay feedback.  I then copied the main loop to another track and added some 'shoegazey / droney' reverb to add some nice ambience.... and finally

Track #3: I used this snippet as the percussion of the track panning it to the right and adding no effects.  I also sliced up some areas of this track and looped them through the end of the track with some delay.

Three Derivatives [disquiet0068-deriv]

I may have slightly/perhaps broken the rules a little bit here depending on how you look at it as I did the piece and then re-read the instructions and I have no time to go back and fix it... the rule being audio cannot overlap but 3 seconds, however we can manipulate the audio however we choose, so i chose and infinite delay on all four tracks... oops, but i like the outcome.

Recording Notes:

I sliced the audio samples into 4 bars introducing them individually at the beginning of the piece.  First part is 'Earth' with infinite delay added and a drum transformer from Logic's Space Designer plug in.  Second part was 'Wind' with a droning reverb added to it.  Third part was 'Fire' with tremolo, delay, and reverb added again, and the final part was 'Water' with some phaser and infinite delay.

The tracks were all faded out muting each individually ending with 'Fire'
