Disquiet Junto Project 0497: Benjamin’s Glass. The Assignment: Pay tribute to Benjamin Franklin and his armonica.

I thought about cheating with a sampler, because I never believed I would be able to get sound from a glass, but it was a question of honor and it worked! So I started with the glasses and counted: I only have 2. This would not be enough for a hommage to Le Carnaval des animaux, The Aquarium. (Yes: Blame it on the equipment!) Anyway, let's go.

I 'recorded' the glass harp live with a Zoom H5n and sent the line output live to my modular setup, into MI Ears. I multiplied it into two signal paths: One sent the audio to MI Clouds with some usual Clouds mumbo-jumbo and V/OCT played by Makenoise Réne (plus some mixer reverb). The other one (and this is what the track is starting with) was sent to Makenoise Phonogene (and via TC HOF2 to the mixer). The Phonegene looped the glass armonica, later modified by the same CV from Rene that modified Clouds, playing notes.

The musician fiddled some knobs and cables while rubbing the glasses and tried not to kill the electric devices with wet fingers.

Whoa, that was stressful. Everything is live, audio is only the glass harp the live hardware, no editing, only some mastering at Reaper export. This may be take eight or so, there is another take on soundcloud, which I liked, too, but not as much as this one. https://soundcloud.com/winterer/rubbing-the-top-of-benjamins-glasses-disquiet0497-b-side

Rubbing The Top Of Benjamin's Glasses [disquiet0497]

This piece was constructed from two contributions to Insect Menagerie, one of which was composed by Paul Reiners and the second "bee kind" by Matrifocal Bee.  The two compositions were looped at 30 different playback speeds and overlaid to generate a descending tone pattern using Supercollider. Additional treatments of Matrifocal Bee were supplied by GuitarRig in Kontakt.  The final piece was mixed in Ableton Live.  Thanks to Paul_Reiners and Bee_Kind for permitting use of their amazing contributions.

A Dystopian Ballad In DDs Key Of C  [Disquiet0507]

Loaded 2 of Daniel's samples the Hang drum and the bass guitar into Ableton's drum rack and used the Max4Live Turing Machine to trigger them randomly. Using 'slice to new midi track' I cut up the piano sample to another instance of Drum rack and also used Turing Machine to trigger that, slowly adjusting the amount of randomness so that certain loops would repeat as I was rendering it out to audio. Finally, adding a high pad sound from Arturia SQ80V
