Disquiet Junto Project 0260: Tone Fade

Second part of a three part project. This uses Daniel Diaz's unfinished https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz/unfinished-disquiet0525. I added a guitar which I played with an Ebow and ran through some effects in FL Studio.

The Assignment: Record the second third of an asynchronous trio. 
More info on Disquiet Junto: disquiet.com/0593

@triermusic last submission (https://soundcloud.com/triermusic/two-of-three-disquiet0592) inspired me with his melody added to Andreas Kitzmann (https://soundcloud.com/andreas-kitzmann-27370936/disquiet0591). It reminded me the great Augustus Pablo. So I decided to dub and pay a tribute to the great melodica master.

I recorded bass and guitar tracks and a rhythmic experimental track with AudioThing Noises. Guitar & Noises are processed by AudioThing Outer Space for delay and reverb. I then added encoderaudio Ferro to give some tasty tape hiss, wow & flutter to my tracks.
It was challenging to work without a BPM and with such fluid structure.

Disquiet Junto Trio part 2 of 3

This is my second contribution this week. I started with Nate Trier's one-one-five-bee-poem, which I would classify as a rhythmic noise blend. I felt some soothing classical music would help balance the noise, so I mixed in two of my past Junto contributions where I used and mangled well known classical music with some twists: "Pachelbel's Cannon" (note: not Canon) from Disquiet0521 and "With Apologies to J.S.Bach" from Disquiet0489. The final mix is a combination of rhythmic noise, familiar soothing classical music, and frenzied chaos. Apologies to whoever might try to add something to this in part 3.

Inspired by Wust I decided to create my own instrument. I used a metal fan cage and recorded through a delay to get a longer decay. I pitched down 12 and 24 unwarped so the timing offset and copied the tracks into different places in the stereo field. I lowered one down 48 and kept it in the center. Seasons Greetings and Happy New Year!

Variations On a Note [disquiet0260]
Disquiet Junto Project 0260: Tone Fade
An exercise in when a sound ends.

On my piano I played a C natural 2 octaves below middle C while muting the strings with my thumb. I moved my thumb slightly between each note which brought out different harmonics. Took this track and layered it 4 times shifting the pitch up a 5th, octave and third creating a major chord. 

Amplitude modulated each of the 4 tracks with a slow sine wave (10 second cycle, 75% depth) and at 4 different phases (0, 90, 120 and 180) creating a slow cross fading between the 4 tracks. Added a bit of pitch stretched root note and some additional reversed piano sounds (opposite of fade out) for atmosphere.

Recorded with a Zoom H5. Edited with Audacity.

Variations On A Note [disquiet0260]

This week's Disquiet Junto assignment was to play one note/chord with a long fade and play it over and over again for a long time (~4 minutes).  I failed miserably but ended up with an interesting "one-note" piece!

I thought playing my baritone horn in a basement stairwell would provide a nice but of reverb and "fade." (Turns out this was not the case).  I put my Zoom H4 on the basement landing, my laptop on the 2nd floor landing, and I stood on the 3rd floor landing with by baritone horn.  I played one note (but in different octaves).  F2 twice, F3 twice, F4 once, and F2 once.  Turns out running up and down 3 flights of stairs winded me a bit, so once I started trying to record long tones, my diaphragm wouldn't cooperate and interrupted my notes by spasming and apparently trying to get me to inhale.  I told it we all need to suffer for our art.  So there are some interruptions in the tones, but I think that adds a little variety.

Then I put it all into Ableton Live to edit it. The "fade" from the reverb was negligible, but I left in the dead space because I think it gives a sense of phrasing (and kind of Cageian, no?)  I took my  recordings from two locales (basement-level, 2nd-floor landing), and altered them so they both play at half-speed and an octave lower.  I panned them left and right, and then brought two more copies from those locales but didn't alter the speed or pitch of those.  But I *did* edit them so they started at the same time as the low notes.

But, having everything start at the same time is actually kind of boring.  So I moved the clips so that the notes *ended* at the same time.  That was much more interesting and added a sort of antiphonal/call & response feel.  There was one part where I didn't move them: at about 3:00, some really interesting overtones showed up in the note (I guess that's the stairwell's resonant note or something?)  I left that part "solo" to let it shine.  

The title comes from what I have to say 1,000 times to people whenever I bring out my euphonium.

For this challenge:
Disquiet Junto Project 0456: Line Up
The Assignment: Interpret a painting by Agnes Martin as if it were a graphic score.

Step 1: Look at the work of painter Agnes Martin, best known for her parallel lines.

Step 2: Select an individual work that suggests itself to you as a musical score.

My imagination is not flamboyant today, I just went for some linear playing, both an upright bass linear impro and an harmonica and synth simple straight drone.

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.
