The First Thunder ( Naviarhaiku 531 )

Disquiet Junto #0636 has us creating one part or layer of a three-part asynchronous collaboration. 

I tried to provide an interesting rhythmic layer (93bpm, 3/4 time) and some minimal atmosphere with the guitar (St Vincent Music Man 6-string, Eventide H9 Harmonizer, Keeley HALO delay pedal). 

The samples are taken from episode 123 of the radio drama The Shadow, titled "The Tenor with the Broken Voice," which aired on June 5, 1938. The samples are intended to prompt or inspire a collaborator with an interesting dramatic premise.

I'm happy to share stems, samples. or Logic files with anyone who'd like to build with this.

This week's prompt was to record the first part of a trio.

I recorded some street musicians this weekend and did some tweaking in Ableton Live. At first, a little bit of tweaking. Then, a lot of tweaking!  81 bpm - I hope someone chooses this to be a left-panned rhythm!

Process notes
Last week, encym(https://soundcloud.com/encym) recorded & uploaded “Neat Disorder” and I downloaded it on 3/13 

His original post and notes -
https://soundcloud.com/encym/neat_disorder_disquiet0636

“This week’s Junto project has always been one of my favourites – so I recorded the first third of what will eventually become a trio. I played it on my Tele through a simple, straightforward signal chain of Chase Bliss Mood (the main sound), fed through a Dark Star and a Polymoon to add space and variations in terms of timbre. No further editing in the DAW. I went for as sparse a track as I could, to provide as much space as possible for my potential collaborators. My hope is that you feel inspired by my “almost crumbling to pieces” vibe, and I look forward to hearing what you will be adding over the coming weeks for it to become a trio recording.”

My own additional process notes - 
On 3/15, I recorded about 9 minutes of prepared cuatro and picked some bits I liked for this piece. I used a few native Ableton Live effects, panned to right.

Artwork: Edit and additions to encym’s original using Adobe Photoshop 2024 and Q’MIC-Qt.

I added some beats and bass to the ethereal drone by @blaaroed (@tt16tt). There should be enough space for someone to add to it. 70 bpm, C minor.
