Rattles & Melt (disquiet0523)

another gloomy January weekend brightened by faffing with the sounds of ice cubes; ten, this year, 'cause, i mean, how could i not? 

i re-listened to previous years submissions, partially to get my head in the game somewhat, partly to try and find aspects i hadn't concentrated on in the sound source. I've been guilty of using ancillary sounds a lot in the past i think - the clunk of the ice hitting the glass or the glass hitting the counter; the tear of the cube being taken from the tray - and figured i ought to be a little more circumspect this year, so made a point of only selecting the clinks and rattles of the cubes suspended in the drink [water] for this year.

I cut 30, small, percussive sections of clinking & set them away in a pattern in FruityLoops, a sort of gritty pulse punctuated with some lightly distorted samples and some pitched up or down a little. I mixed in a little assertive chatter made in Leafcutter John's Forestry and then made a couple of versions - one pitched down dramatically and one reversed and one as it was which i then chopped into something like a structure. I then made two copies of that file, played one forward, the other back & applied differing filters to both to try and bring out the... jittery cubist xylophone shambles of the whole thing.

Thanks again - always! - for the prompt, Marc! ^_^

Communication Chill-Down [disquiet0523]

for Disquiet Junto Project 0523: Chill Communication
The Assignment: Record the sound of ice in a glass and make something with it.

Process notes: recorded some ice cubes rattling in a glass and used only stretched snippets from that sounds to make this slow walking piece.
Pretty mellow and chill I think, unlike the very first junto project, where I made much more noise.

Please record the sound of an ice cube rattling in a glass, and make something of it.

Just ice - disquiet0523

This track was inspired by the Disquiet Junto Project 0522: Record the sound of ice in a glass and make something with it.
All sounds were created from the recording of an ice-cube rattling in five different glasses. The inspiration led to this piece, trying to find out how eternal ice sounds.

Ice cube in a wine glass sampled for Disquiet Junto 0523. Played around with the sample on the Circuit Rhythm, then into Ableton for layering those recordings and arranging. Duplicated a couple of the tracks and added some spectral resonance, very low in mix. Played some drums because the cube samples had some sweet rhythms and I couldn't get Beastie Boys "Ill Communication" out of my head.

Got That Chill Communication [disquiet0523]

Disquiet Junto Project 0524: Sunset Waveform
The Assignment: Read a photo like a graphic score.

It's more an interpretation than a direct implementation. I started with a choir track I used from somewhere else. I mirrored it adding a reverse version of it, because the lakes image mirrored. Originally I wanted to stop here, because I liked the result and it had something from a lake mood. But the waveform was missing, so added the sequence and it's volume tend to follow the trees shapes. I added some pad of different colors at some points which could be interpreted as the yellow areas. One choir track is decently rippled by a phaser …. etc. Bottom line: you may not hear the wave form, but it's there!
