Few sounds from the Free Cobalt8 Free Pack

Cobalt8 Free Patch Pack 1

following a prompt 

Step 1: Think about stereo for a moment.

Step 2: Now think about it a bit more — specifically, think less about using stereo as a means to give a sense of a physical space to a recording, and more about using stereo as a compositional tool.

Step 3: Record a piece of music in which you engage with stereo based on the ideas you formulated in Step 1 and Step 2.

disquiet0549 Far Edge Of The World

Track made for the Disquiet project 0549 Sidelines.

Anomia (disquiet0549)

disquiet0549 - Sideleines Pinball
I created several guitar tracks using an Epiphone Les Paul Junior chained into a Zoom Bass Pedal B1 using the A8 patch, chained to a room 506II Bass Pedal using the A4 patch, fed into a Mac Pro into GarageBand. First track using the Cascade Experimental Guitar patch with a TC Electric AEON String Sustainer. Second track using the Echo Studio, Track 3 again using the Cascade, hard-panned left, 4th track Cascade hard-panned right, 5th track using Condensator hard-panned left, 6th track using GarageBand keyboard Reversal of Fortune hard-panned right, 7th track using Star Arp synth layer hard-panned left, 8th track using Enchanted Soundscape hard-panned right. It was great fun creating this. I attempted to follow the guide notes to create a stereo soundscape and try for the effect of being inside an ethereal pinball machine. I hope you enjoy the ride!

Disquiet0549 Sidelines Pinball

4 voices hard panned on L and R.
An old exercise on counterpoint from my student years (this was a Fugue really) , first time I take this from ink and paper to sound and the speakers.
Recorded 4 voices on piano
Voices I + III on the left
Voices II + IV on the right
Recorded Friday July 8th in the morning.

4 pianos, reverbs and delays for the glitchy background track (the actual piano tracks on a wet FX bus)

Stereo Counterpoint (disquiet0549)

The band Stereolab is an all-time favorite of mine. On their last albums they use a technique they called „Dual Mono“, which lets you listen to two tracks in full stereo separation. So you get two extremely clever interwoven arrangements of one song that fit snugly together in a stereo mix. That’s super clever and, god, so hard to achieve. 

  Everything in my short track is panned hard left or right, with no exception.  I split melodies to go either left or right; the drums are more consistent and don’t move too much in the „dual mono“ field. There are some melodies oscillating fast from side to side to give a stereo impression. If you just listen to one channel, it should sound different from the other.   

Musically, sound- and production-wise, it’s a bit a train wreck. I doesn’t sound very consistent, way too fluttery, and definitely on the easy listening side, but all this trying, panning and mixing took a lot of time. Also interesting to see that my bread and butter sounds don’t work in mono.

Disquiet Junto Project 0549: Sidelines
The Assignment: Get intentional with stereo.

Step 1: Think about stereo for a moment.

Step 2: Now think about it a bit more — specifically, think less about using stereo as a means to give a sense of a physical space to a recording, and more about using stereo as a compositional tool.

Step 3: Record a piece of music in which you engage with stereo based on the ideas you formulated in Step 1 and Step 2.

Also: When posting the track, describe a bit of your thinking and process.

Duophonic [disquiet0549]

This track was inspired by the Disquiet Junto Project 0550 on finding a score for a track in the random pattern of nature.
Looking into a bowl of my favourite muesli (https://www.hubermuehle.de/shop/de/Traum-Muesli-Mischung-500g.html) I was intrigued to interpret one strip of cereals as score of a track. Each different ingredient is represented by a sound.
Then I associated the cereals with the pebbles in the bed of a brook and added a field-recording I made during a hike (soon available on freesound).

A Brook Ripples Over A Bed Of Muesli (Disquiet0550)

Score derived from a photograph of a blanket we have on our bed for our two cats. The photograph was then pixelated to represent an octave, then the pixels lightened until the white pixels were knocked out to leave chords. The image was then converted to MIDI with velocities based on the darkness of the pixels. The MIDI was also inverted. Once instance played through Felt Instruments Helenko and the inverted one through Ciemno. Both were processed by Unfiltered Audio's Silo. Meanwhile, the lowest notes of the original pixelation were played through Softube Monoment.

Disquiet Junto Project 0564: Octave Lept
The Assignment: Work an octave leap — or more than one — into a piece of music.

I used a track on which I was already working on and added automatic tools to randomly add or substract up to two octaves to all tracks. The probability was chosen so that the octave jumps should go unnoticed.

Track cover based on image from Dall-E2 prompting "Sudden jumps, not too hefty, edward hopper". This tool is so much fun!
