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.

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

Ring Modulated Feedback • [ disquiet0613 ]

Runa Dos

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!

Ago (disquiet0637 - Andreas Kitzmann & encym)

This week's #disquietjunto prompt was complete a trio begun by two other musicians.

I used a random number generator to choose from last week's duos at random, and I ended up with Right to Drum https://soundcloud.com/33per/right-to-drum-with-mikey_a by @33per and @mikey_a

I listened to it a few times and started hearing a low-pitched melody, like something played by a euphonium or trombone. Unfortunately my brass instruments are not with me (fortunately, perhaps, in my neighbors' opinions). So, I decided to try recording a melodica melody. 

I just got a dictaphone, and I want to experiment with recording things on the dictaphone and then pitching them down, so I recorded at double-speed and then altered it in Ableton Live.

The result actually clashed with Mikey_A's chord voicings, so I ended up just time-stretching everything but using the melodica's pitch.

The melodica sounded a little harsh (free reed instruments can have a lot of odd overtones, I read somewhere), so I used a saturator to try to even things out. It seemed crazy to add a saturator to something recorded on a dictaphone, but it worked, and I think the end result maybe sounds closer to a synthesizer.

I did some basic audio sculpting, like sidechain compression so all of the instruments made room for each other, and adding a slow filter sweep to the synths to give them some more movement. The track also starts in mono then quickly adjusts to stereo, then goes back to mono.

All in all, a fun project!  Thanks to eeper and mikey_a for sharing their creativity and music!!!
