I really like this track. It creates a totally new atmosphere. And for me the slow brass matches perfectly to the hectic piano.

cool! really wonderful classical addings! Thank you, SAMPLAIR!

Made in response to Disquiet Junto Project 0617: Haunt Scape
The Assignment: Halloween is coming up. Do your thing.
There is just one step to this project: Halloween is nearly here, so make some haunted sounds for people to play for trick-or-treaters.

I don't always enjoy the scary things, but I really enjoyed making some scary music. I jammed for about an hour on some hardware gear with this prompt in mind. Later that night, I walked around the house recording my creeky wood floors and rusty doors. Then cut for length and added some effects and edits in Live. 
While I was making these sounds, my wife Monica created this digital collage image. We enjoyed this simultaneous creative process and plan on doing it again. She wrote about this here: https://waxingphotopoetic.substack.com/p/circle-of-tree-thieves-creaking-in?r=7wafc&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Tree Thieves Creak in the Hollow - A Haunt Scape [Disquiet0617]

Disquiet Junto Project 0619: Beat Accrual
The Assignment: Rebuild a complicated rhythm from scratch.

As is generally the case with any instructions, it’s best to read all the way through before beginning.

Step 1: Create a complicated beat (define “complicated” as you see fit). Keep track of the individual parts.

Step 2: Record a track in which the beat from Step 1 slowly accrues over time. For example, break the original beat into its constituent parts and then add one at a time, repeating the arrival of each addition for four beats (assuming you’re doing the project in 4/4). That’s just one way to accomplish this.

Also: You might adorn the beat with other elements while it’s accumulating, or after, or you might simply leave it on its own.

Taking a drum sequence, applying a spectral shift on it every bar, and perpetuating the previous state with a tape echo plugin.

Beat Accrual Accrual

Disquiet Junto | Beat Accrual Accrual - w/ Fake Genius - disquiet0620

This track is my contribution to the Disquiet Junto Project 0620 (details see below) and adds additional piano-based elements to the wonderful track https://soundcloud.com/robertknote/risse-disquiet0619 by @robertknote.
All new elements are based on the original track and were created by extracting Midi-information, reversing and pitching.

Absplitterungen  [with Robert Knote] (Disquiet0620)

For this assignment we were to add to last week's Beat Accrual assignment, using another member's song. I chose xiixxi's https://soundcloud.com/xiiixxi/disquiet-junto-beat-accrual-disquiet0619?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0619-1. I added bass and guitar.

Disquiet Junto Project 0620: Beat Accrual Accrual
The Assignment: Turn someone’s slow-build beat into a finished track.

I decided to build on Going Modular's "Disquieting Polyrhythm" because of the haunting, repetitive synth and dramatic build of the piece. It's a soundscape that I've been living in now for days. I only made one alteration which was to short it a bit in the last two thirds. https://soundcloud.com/goingmodular

I also really wanted to see if I could combine that with yet another junto from last week just to be cheeky about the assignment. Lee Evans' "Euclidian Dub" worked quite well with this, bringing it in just at the end of the song, making this slow, driving, building piece extra climactic and almost dancy in the end. (https://soundcloud.com/hippieswearingmuzzles/euclidean-dub-disquiet0619)

I haven't been able to write lyrics for a long time but this really sparked it for me and I was able to jot out some words that relate to a lot that's on my mind - the Israel-Hamas war, a complicated relationship with an ill and possibly dying father, being almost 40 and still not knowing if I'll get to be a mother or "just" an artist or both...all the things! It felt cathartic to express some of that. (AND pretty vulnerable).

I love creating choirs in my music. I also loved the idea of once again building from something simpler to something more complex so I had the backing choir slowly emerge while the lead vocal gradually got more crunchy. I added a subby bass partway through and strings to mimic the melody of the synth and bring it out more for the climax. 

Oh! And it was raining when I recorded and I just needed that sound in there.

Thank you so much to Going Modular and Lee Evans for your creations!

stone soup (w Going Modular and Lee Evans) (disquiet0620)

Following last week's 0619 entry, I took Lee Evan's Euclidean Dub and made a story of it. I wanted to experiment with foley and recording voices, and all I could think about when I heard the song was going to a creepy doctor. I was channeling Fear's "I'm a Doctor a bit"

Process notes -
This track started out as a loop that I made in FL Studio on 05 Feb 2005 called "orchomainb." I have folders and folders of these old FL loops on my drive and backup, maybe 100-200, starting around 2000/01.

I imported a piece of this loop, which was something like bass, drums and some strings into Ableton Live as a wav file and had Live create a melody MIDI clip from it.

A rough idea of the tools I used
- 8 native Live MIDI effects
- Arturia Piano V3
- several of Live's and Arturia's delays and compressors
- Puremagnetik's Partikl delay
- Mastered with Ozone 9 on a fairly gentle setting.

This original version of "Pinch Appeal" was submitted as part of ​Disquiet Junto Project 0621: The Leftovers. The Assignment: Use recently discarded material to make something new.

“Recent” is relative here - I have recordings back to the 80s. The early 2000’s was the first time I amassed more of my own audio (and photos, btw) than I could use, so I reached back to that time. I wanted to honor that time in my life today.

It would also be fair to note that I have about 4-8 albums/releases under this name that remain unreleased.
