Stereo Counterpoint (disquiet0549)

This is a response to the 0549'th Disquiet Junto challenge - this time, prompting the composer to thing about stereo, and how it can influence like a compositional tool. 

This piece is put together with many experiments of pan'ing, rhythmical and otherwise, through different LFO's, copy of tracks, rhythmical gating of synth VST's and effects - and this is what I ended up with. I wonder, if anyone else can hear, how the concept of stereo influenced this piece?

Tools used include Valhalla SuperMassive, MaxForLive LFO and LFO Cluster, Sinevibes Switch and U-He's DIva for synth lead and SpitFires "Hammer" for percussion.

Disquiet Junto Project 0573: Float Mode
The Assignment: Add material atop a pre-existing beat to form a complete track.

I liked https://soundcloud.com/tendigits/disquiet0572-rythm-kit by Tendigits and because it seemed to be made completely "by machine" I wanted to add only things without machines/automation. 
So I improvised around five additional tracks of sounds (and tried to leave room for some variation on the original drum track by Tendigits while doing it). In this week I also had field recorded the sound of icicles that I had knocked off the corrugated roof above the bicycle stand in the inner courtyard of my flat (my wife recorded, I knocked of the icicles – they can be seen on the track cover) and somehow felt they would fit as a mysterious element (hence the title) and because there was something like ice rain I heard in the original track (maybe its just me…). Finally I felt something was missing and added a live sung/spoken session of some kind of acoustic nagging to the track, which I edited with a lot of fx and manually painted parameter curves. 
It now feels like a hit.

VISIT TO A CONSPIRATOR

I split six samples into smaller segments, arranged them according to the throw of the die & adjusted the volume to bring each into prominence in its turn.

More on this 601st weekly Disquiet Junto project, Hard Six (The Assignment: Let a roll of the dice determine the relative prominence of various parts of a track), at: https://disquiet.com/0601/

The project was inspired in part by recent correspondence with Junto participant Robert Precht. More to come in that regard.
