normally i'm not a big fan of bassy elements in music, but that thumping kick really ties the whole track together. nice work!

excellent. The driving Kick is never annoying, great use of it.

That's a very rabbit-like thump! It's the sound rabbits make to alert that there is danger. THUMP THUMP! The melodies are very catchy. This is great!

I was born in the year of the pig, or - according to my quick internet research - the water pig. Sometimes when I am getting a track started, I will try to only use sounds and presets that contain certain words. There was only one that contained the word "pig" and quite a few with the word "water." I didn't really like any of the parts I was writing and one of the sounds was a particularly unpleasant squeak. As unpleasant as it was, it did sound like the squeak of some small animal - like a rabbit. From there, I let my rabbit spirit ally take over and I think the result is on theme. I especially like the thumping kick pattern. I turned down the squeaking sound so it isn't audible, but I know it is still in there.

Spring Disquiet0578

Samples of bubbles with filter processing and additional rhythm on the Serge modular. Choir and Ebow guiar.

Bubblicious X disquiet0642

Challenge:

Step 1: Make kick drums from the sound of something carbonated.
Bubbles originated in an ASMR 'fizz' sample. 

Step 2: Make a rhythmic track (think techno, but certainly follow your own muse) using the result of Step 1.
I could not do a respectful enough techno :P it felt in the end like game music

BubbleKick - disquiet0642

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0642: Kick from Champagne

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0642discussion thread on Lines:

Revisited an unfinished piece from a few months ago for this assignment. I had experimented with percussion using a very cool Max for Live sequencer Fibonacci Devices by Lines participant @ithkaa, and figured this beat based assignment would be a great way to complete it.

I incorporated a sample of sparkling water being poured, "Fizzy Fill" by magnuswalker from freesound.org, for the sound of something carbonated. I used a bell-like preset from Slate+Ash Choreographs for the Fibonacci sequenced track. A drum synthesizer track was created using Fors Opal. Within that instrument, I added a "Fizzy Fill" sample to the Slate Granular Sample Player parameter as part of the kick drum and other percussive sounds. A slice of the sample was looped toward the end on one track. Other tracks used percussion and melodies created with Slate+Ash Spectres and SoundGhost Constellations. Effects used: Valhalla Vintage Verb and Room, Minimal Audio Cluster Delay and Morph EQ, and Cableguys ShaperBox 3.

Although it wasn't my intention, this ended up with a little bit of a Gamelan-like vibe to it, so I was happy with how it turned out. Photo is by Adrien Olichon from Unsplash.

Whiskey And Soda (disquiet0642)

This was made for the disquiet junti 0642 with the assignment: Use carbonation to make a beat. I recorded the sound of opening some beer and soda bottles, pitched one of them down to create a kickdrum an dloded then all in Nysthi's QuadSimpler. In search of an appropriate melody, I borrowed the famous drinking song from Siegmund Romberg's operetta The Student Prince and converted it into 4/4 beat. And then added a bass.

What's the last thing the drummer said before being kicked out of the band?

"Let's try playing one of my songs."

Here are my songs.
