great ideas and refreshingly listenable - although stephanie said, "that sounds scary."

Great machine type sounds. The looping ranting woman's voice gives the last part a melancholic feel.

While this one is certainly not a techno track, at least it works with beats!
Claudio Huerta Honores, accordion; Natalie Schönberger, clarinet; Qirici Ermir, French horn (most of the beats are processed horn sounds); Hyeongjin Oh, tuba (the high "sky sound" that runs through most of the track); Joaquim Simões, guitar; Anastasia Deligiannik, violoncello; Ella Sternstedt, bass guitar;  recording Benedikt Wild; additional tracks + mixed + produced by Hubertus Dreyer.

disquiet0591 - patchouli wash

Zwischen den Räumen

This is a ~5 min segment from a recent recording session of an atonal ambient/drone patch, inspired by Jaap Vink’s ‘screen patch’ explorations. New territory for me, been trying out feedback patching for awhile and this is a first attempt in doing one on this style. The sound source is ring modulated feedback created by patching a handful of Eurorack modules together.

The key modules are a Doepfer BBD delay, Make Noise Mimeophon, Make Noise Maths, Make Noise Rxmx w/ Fxdf, and Mutable Instruments Blinds. Altogether, a simple "record head / playback head" feedback loop is created that slowly builds by itself, and using Maths to suppress/compress the signal by acting as an envelope follower that controls the overall patch amplitude.

Blinds is patched as a ring modulator, and Rxmx/Fxdf stand in for the 'third octave filter' suggested in the original Screen Patch. This allows the feedback to be processed through 6 bandpass filters, including being able to scan through one or more filter bands. 

I also added another multi-mode filter, wave folder, and through zero FM VCO into the patch, allowing for more timbral range and ending up with a metallic resonance that I was pleased with.

If you're interested, check out Jaap Vink's work in the 1970s at the Institute of Sonology in Utrecht, exploring ring modulated feedback patching with the 'screen patch'. More on the process here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_Bcr_HS9XM

SenSen - Room 850

Andreas' orchestral musings (listen here: https://on.soundcloud.com/6DcQotEVL1dtwric8) inspired me to dust off a couple of old favourites, amongst them the Moog MurF, to try and come up with some pulsating, filtered low end guitar as well as a bunch of more hissy, trebly improvs. Recorded quite a few takes and selected those bits that complement his gorgeous, sweeping, cinematic track. A fair bit of editing in Logic Pro ensued, adding and subtracting, until the pacing & the mix felt right, with enough room to add to for the next stage, the third track.


Hope you enjoy it and inspires some of you to add your part on top of this!

ORAGE [gen~] - Gen19 (Senglar Lament Rmx)

This piece is a spiritual heir to the previous Disquiet assignment. In making that piece, I spent a lot of time trying unsuccessfully to eliminate background noise and also exploring overlapping (but not synchronized) rhythms.

In this piece, I embraced background noise and used it to create a tonal context for my field recordings of rhythms.

In isolating and looping small snippets of sound, subtle changes in the overtones became apparent, and this became as much a character of each loop as the rhythm.  Maybe the next step is to figure out the pitches of the background noise and use them to generate a harmonic system.

Most of the loops are from a short "field" recording session around the house. You'll hear various appliances and one of my cats eating breakfast.  I pulled in one sound from a previous field recording session for the Cities and Memory project (https://soundcloud.com/triermusic/cities-and-memory-the-sound-of-a-city-gone-stir-crazy): the sound of a boisterous teenage girl telling her friends, dismissively, about a boy who had wronged her.

I had a plan to generate pitches using the ratios of loop lengths, but I think capitalizing on the pitches inherent in the background sounds worked great.  Most of the sounds are as-is; the "organ" sound comes from throwing a loop into Ableton's Simpler.
