[disquiet0697] seq

This track is inspired by the beautiful and unique landscape of Brittany, especially the Côte de Granit Rose.

It is intended to be the first part of an asynchronous trio - as inspired by this week's Disquiet Junto project. But it is also meant to be a composition on its own.

I chose the brilliant track by https://soundcloud.com/torstengoerke for this Disquiet Junto brief; to add a second part in an eventual trio ... https://soundcloud.com/torstengoerke/plastiq-disquiet0697?si=e511e161b08d44e789d92e107816d030&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

Looking forward to hearing any additions to complete the triangle of collaboration! ❤️

halF plastiQ [disquiet0698] with Torsten Goerke

Based on a piano performance by @leonclowes, I played an OB-E (thanks, Tom Oberheim & @gforce-software) over Leon’s piano. I was going for a streamlined version of something quiet by Ravel — a kind of synthetic tone poem. Both the piano and strings are fake, but hopefully there’s still room to build.

Fake Genius on the left, Torpid Scorpion on the RIght. 

Added a rhythm played on the TR8S with a second pass to hand-crank filter and delay effects.

This pie is waiting for a third to fill in the missing piece.

I chose ‘Unmaking Music’ because of its physical materiality. 

https://soundcloud.com/raincat-306596410/unmaking-music-disquiet0697

I had initially made a first version that contained many different movements on six tracks. That was pretty okay. But then I added some lurking piano - and somehow I felt that Raincat's hammering of whatever was the perfect partner for it. So I removed all the other tracks (only crow field recordings from Vienna remained, also the amplification of a kinda bell-like sounding Raincat “solo”). I didn't try to accompany Raincat, but let him accompany me. Thank you, Raincat, for your track!

I think this waits for a lead instrument. If someone wants to trio: The Piano is now 90bpm and somehow C-ish… (mainly CDCD, sometimes CDGC).

No total left-right-panning HERE, because I can't stand it. If you want to have one, download it THERE: https://soundcloud.com/winterer/panned-unmaking-together

This is the second third of the #DisquietJunto Trios project. The left-panned section was Torpid Scorpion's contribution, while the piano on the right comes from me.

Second Third - Disquiet0698

Last edited & mixed on 15 May 2025 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa, USA. 

For this piece I incorporated “Hydrasynth-105bpm-CMaj_disquiet0697 6 chords” disquiet0697 by 14 Below Zero (https://soundcloud.com/14-below-zero) for the left channel.  https://soundcloud.com/14-below-zero/hydrasynth-105bpm-cmaj_disquiet0697-6-chords-disquiet0697 

My contribution is on the right. 

For my part, I acted in a supporting role, starting with 14 Below Zero’s notes & Cherry Audio’s emulation of Octave Electronics’ 1976 CAT synth and then adding effects & editing where I felt appropriate. I had such a block on mixing this because I dislike hard panning for most things…so I mixed it in a way I preferred. After I felt good about that mix, I hard panned it again (except for some effects) and yeah, I still liked it. This should be fun for someone to add to next week.

There were many pieces I liked a lot from part 1 and I tried out a couple of combinations. 
I settled on the track by Samplair: https://soundcloud.com/user-248104983/disquiet0697. 

I combined this with a recording of some ‘extended technique’ zither. 
The extended technique being that the zither is excited using a fast rotating disc with a magnet attached to it. Depending on the frequency with which the magnet rotates (compared to the resonant frequencies of each string), it can force oscillations in one or more strings. The sound this produces is quite rich and complex with lots of movement.

Interestingly, the combination of these sounds, which can at times be quite harsh and distorted, with Samplair’s ‘nightmare carnival’ made for a track that I found… rather soothing.

Soothing nightmare carnival (disquiet0698) - with Samplair

Another track from the album I'm working on. It started as a series of timestretched field recordings to which I added layers of guitar. I ended up ditching all of the timestretched sounds, wasn't pleased with it, but I'm happy how that decision turned out. Still some polishing to do, maybe adding some things here and there, and of course it isn't mixed yet - nor mastered. Let me know what you think!

Pink Lines (w.i.p.)

Torpid Scorpion is the electro-acoustic project of London based musician Rens Troost. 

My soundcloud is where I put up experiments and collaborations that may or may not see release someday.
