this came out with a great 80s vibe - the layering adds a real sense of progress and adventure. fun narrative that should be recorded to VHS tape!!

Exciting sequence, and really well produced too. I feel it begs for a lead-synth power theme !

I like the way the beat moves against that arp/seq stuff. And the little noises add to it all.

Front page news from Derby Daily Telegraph from exactly 50 years ago - November 2, 1973 ... Also an exploration of Minimal Audio's Morph EQ ...

Here's the text from the newspaper article - the photo is in the centre of the track image:

ANNE'S WEDDING CAKE ON DISPLAY
A SIX FEET high, three-tier cake weighing around 500lb, extra rich in fruit and rum, is on show at Wilfred House Uttoxeter, this weekend prior to being transported to London for the wedding of Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips.

It has been made at the bakery of Elkes Biscuits Ltd. Uttoxeter and baker Mr G. Moore (pictured) was brought out of retirement to prepare and bake it.

Mr Moore, who also baked wedding cakes for the Queen and Princess Margaret, was with the company for more than 40 years.

HEAD OF HORSE
In keeping with the couple's mutual interest in horses, designer Mrs J. Morgan has incorporated the head of a fine horse, in low relief, as the main decoration on each side of the lower tier.

The initials A and M are also displayed in an oval frame on the second tier. Traditional symbols of good luck, including silver horseshoes, white heather, and orange blossom, are also depicted in white icing and silver motifs.

The crest of Princess Anne, and the Phillips family, together with Captain Phillips's regimental badge, add a dash of colour to the cake.

SUGAR DECORATION
The fine sugar decoration was completed by Mr S West head of the Division of Baking Technology at Ealing Technical College, assisted by Mrs P. Arnold (pictured with Mr Moore) in charge of the company's test bakery, who was also responsible for co-ordinating of the programme for the cake from manufacture to display.

After leaving Wilfred House, and prior to its transportation to the Palace, the cake will be displayed in a West End hotel.

Process notes

First day - 
- Typed one paragraph from the Black Panther newspaper of 4 Nov 1972 into Google Translate. I went with 51 years ago, instead of 50.
- Sent the German output into a text-to-speech engine, PlayHT
- Paulstretch in Audacity & exported
- Dragged into Live and duplicated two more times
- Set warp markers to produce variations & panned two tracks L & R
- L & R tracks each treated to two instances of Arturia Tape Melo-Fi to get some crud distortion
- Center track treated to some widening in Live

Second day - 
- Recorded a china cymbal. This was run into Ableton Live’s Spectral Resonator and other effects.
- Recorded a short series of walking bass notes using a Turser JTB-402. This was run through a modified Buffer Shuffler, iZotope’s Neutron and other effects.
- I duplicated this track and converted the second copy to MIDI for use in sidechaining.
- I froze/flattened the cymbal, speech and bass audio tracks
- I altered some of the things I did the day before with the speech tracks.
- Recorded a nylon-string guitar that was missing the low E and the D string. I retuned the second highest string, recorded something related to the bass track and enhanced this with Live’s grain delay.
- I split the bass audio track into two for hi/lo processing with some simple shelving EQ.

Black Panther, Vol. 9, No. 3, November 4, 1972

A Matter Of Life Or Death, vote “no” on proposition 17, 4th paragraph, translated into German.

Historically, America has justified its use of the death penalty, both domestically and on a world-wide level with the so-called “deterrent” theory. This twisted logic has resulted in the slaughter of millions throughout the world and the development of more and more ingenious methods of killing human beings.

Historisch gesehen hat Amerika seine Anwendung der Todesstrafe sowohl im Inland als auch auf weltweiter Ebene mit der sogenannten „Abschreckungs“-Theorie gerechtfertigt. Diese verdrehte Logik hat zur Abschlachtung von Millionen Menschen auf der ganzen Welt und zur Entwicklung immer raffinierterer Methoden zur Tötung von Menschen geführt.

A solar day is defined as the time it takes for the Sun to return to the same position in the sky as observed from a fixed point on Earth. This rotation is the basis for the division of time into 24 hours, 60 minutes and 60 seconds.

heartbeat of the sun (disquiet0619)

This track started from a 2 drum loops that I chopped and separated into more tracks. Then I applied different settings to them such as EQ and distortion. For the arrangement, each elements is added at regular interval until the beat is complete. Later I added additional synths, all with a certain rhythmic feel to them.

The assignment:

Step 1: Create a complicated beat (define “complicated” as you see fit). Keep track of the individual parts.

Step 2: Record a track in which the beat from Step 1 slowly accrues over time.

Disquiet Junto Project 0619: Beat Accrual
The Assignment: Rebuild a complicated rhythm from scratch.

I defined complicated as not too complicated and everything in a 16th note grid, but outside of a 4 bar grid. I only used tuned percussion because I kind of liked that. I added the organ just to have some kind of track and made half of it percussive. Because it was an Organ, I went to a Blues scale. All in all, it certainly doesn't fit the prompt, but it kind of worked out.
