Disquiet Junto Project 0612: Drum Vector
The Assignment: Walk the listener through variations on the same percussive instrument.

Dragged my wooden tongue drum out of the closet for this one. Recorded too many variations and had to cut a few. Basically just used different reverbs and delays to give each variation it's own space.  Also played with panning on the cross fades to make it seem like you're walking from one area to the next.  Then for a noise bed I routed everything to a new track with more reverb, resonator, effects and so on.  Automated the stereo width on that one rather randomly.

Know the Shadows

Disquiet Junto | Know the Shadows - disquiet0622

This is my entry for Disquiet Junto 0622. The prompt was a tough one this time: expresse the idea of a shadow in sound or in music.
I pondered that a shadow was the result of the impact of light on the environment, delineating the contours of an object present in its way. I thought that a process with some degree of equivalence could be found in the multiple reflexions of sound on the walls of a room. The "shadow" of the sound played in the room would be the reverberating part, minus the source itself.
Therefore I wrote a short, slow and atmospheric piece I played on my piano, side-chained the piano track to an ample, shimmer-like reverberation that I recorded on a separate track, and then built the final piece by alternating the source (the piano) and its shadow (its reverberating sound), first together, and then letting the source disappear to reveal only its reverberating "shadow".
I hope you like it !

his was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0622: Know the Shadow

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0622 discussion thread:

Rather than thinking of shadows as a result of shapes blocking light, I went with an alternative definition of something, usually a person, that follows closely. In this case, similar melodies that follow each other. My goal was to create a piece that's repetitive and minimal.

Using an Arturia Keystep 37 and Novation Peak, I manually played three different tracks into Ableton Live at approximately the same tempo using different settings. I also recorded a track using Jogging House's new Tonal Drifts instrument pack. I stretched a couple sections so they would slowly drift out of phase. It's my interpretation of shadows getting longer as the afternoon sun moves lower down on the horizon. Not sure whether I'm 100% satisfied with how this turned out, but I enjoyed the process.

Afternoon Shadows Till Dusk [disquiet0622]

Almost Everything

A solo piano improvisation in the key of artificial major C (basically C major with a flatted sixth, which is A flat). This key intrinsically has a sound that feels somehow Middle Eastern, at least to my Western ears, though I have also heard Native American flutes play a similar key.

Sands of Time

Classical music for day dreaming and other fun pursuits!
