Interesting interpretation (something that follows closely). the sonic little brother lol

That was really a lovely sounding shadow!

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.

There's a 100% reverb setting on this - a shadow of the music you can't quite hear. See the (slightly disturbing) accompanying visuals @ https://youtu.be/pdBdZPYer60

The instruction was "Think about how a shadow might be expressed in sound.". Here in my recording I feature the reverb channel from a recently recorded guitar piece. In order to make it sound like a shadow I used an envelope follower that would modulate the sends of the signal feeding into the reverb. This has as an effect that the original sound appears to reflect into the reverb. I also pitched the resulting signal down by an octave so it sounds more dark.

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 !

Shadow of a Doubt (disquiet0622)

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.

Shadow ( disquiet0622)

Winter sky–
Distant dreams
Shattered and flown away
(Tr. by John Stevens)
A wandering poet and ascetic Zen priest, Santōka was a disciple of Ogiwara Seisensui, one of the first poets to discard the traditional use of the 5-7-5 structure in haiku.
Santōka’s poetry emphasizes the necessity of sabi (solitude) in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment and serenity.

Moments Lost

An instinct moves through shadow and light: precise, untamed, and infinitely conscious. Each movement carries grace and danger, a dance between intuition and will. The search is not for conquest, but for the truth hidden in the silence of its own strength.

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.
