very good one.  when the bass kicks in , if you think about it it's more confusing , but if you just listen is more fluid. good

I really like the track, it is so hypnotic.

The Assignment: Make music in 5/8, 6/8, and 7/8 time signatures.

I used my Elektron Model:Cycles for this because it’s really flexible with meter. This is based on an arpeggio alternating between 6 and 7, a chime in 6 (at half speed) a bassline in 5, and some percussion in 7. I had no time, so I made it in a rush, and I think it turned out all the better for not thinking about it too hard!

Child's Play

The Euclidean Chromaticon | Child's Play - disquie0571

Disquiet Junto Project 0571: Child’s Play
The Assignment: Make music inspired by a nursery rhyme.

I opted for "Fuchs Du hast die Gans gestohlen" (Fox you stole the goose), a German nursery rhyme from around 1824 based on an older folksong. Which seems to be, by what so ever strange reason, also very popular in Japan. It was written by Ernst Anschütz, whom you may know via "O Tannenbaum". Because I am just in love with some presets (yes) in Pigments, which use wavetables based on the MicroQ I once had (for the interested ones: Playhugger Microns https://www.plughugger.com/pigments-microns.html ), I currently do everything with these pads, and the results may be doubted. Anyway, I went for a slow ambient pads arrangement of this song, using only the original melody material plus some probabilities. At the end it did not sound like a lullaby at all (and does not say anything about nursery rhymes), but I liked it very much for what it is. At one point I added some sweet bells and stuff, but I always went back to this somehow brutal and unkrakenkrafty version.

KK's disquiet junto

Fuchs Du Hast Die Gans Gestohlen [disquiet0571]

Fish Bite (disquiet0571)

This piece is inspired by Alouette, a French Canadian nursery rhyme about doing very bad things to a bird. All sounds made in VCV Rack. Spooky lyrics courtesy of Emilie Gillet's Plaits. 

This week’s project was proposed by Junto participant El90.

Step 1: Listen to some nursery rhymes — and do sing along if you like.

Step 2: Think about the idea of nursery rhymes, the nature of their melodies, lyrical content, rhyme scheme, form, and any other aspects you find striking.

Step 3: Make a piece of music based on, or inspired by, a nursery rhyme.

The Farmer, The Clod And The Toad(Y Ffermwr, Y Clod a'r Llyffant)disquiet0571

This week's Junto is to make something inspired by a nursery rhyme. Wales has many wonderfully evocative and sometimes frankly bizarre nursery rhymes, I went with one of the former "Tŷ Bach Twt" (Little Tidy House" - in which our protagonist will be forever content listening to the wind blowing on his door every morning and watching the waves outside.  I took the notes and played around on my keyboards a bit to evoke the wind and waves, though it ended up a little darker than I was intending - probably because I can hear the wind and waves outside my studio and I am feeling a bit chilly!

TyBachTwt (disquiet0571)

For my first participation to the Disquiet Junto Project, I chose the theme of the lullaby because it' s a genre that I am passionate about and that I have already worked on in the past.
The melody I used as a guideline comes from a very old Welsh lullaby called Peis Dinogat (Dinogad's Smock). It appears in a 13th century manuscript but was probably composed some century earlier. The lyrics, which I have deliberately left out in order to turn it into an instrumental piece, tell of a father's exploits on the hunt, perhaps in the mode of lament. Among the list of animals, there is mention of a place, Derwennydd Falls, whose precise location is open to speculation.
To fit the lullaby genre, I have kept the melody in all its beauty and simplicity by repeating it from beginning to end. The use of panning is also there to suggest the pendulum movement.
Enjoy your listening!
