Disquiet Junto Project 0639: Path Ways (4 of 3)

My second piece is a cross between points 2 and 3.
As a starting piece I chose the piece by encyn, a true gem of this compilation.
I recovered what was originally supposed to be my 637, then abandoned because the track had already been chosen. In this case without channel limitations.
Starting from this 636 I followed the family tree and chose some 637s and 638s to mix on the starting track.

Disquiet Junto Project 0646: Empty Orchestra
The Assignment: Interpret the literal translation of “karaoke.”

Step 1: You may or may not be familiar with the literal meaning of the word “karaoke.” The first two syllables are the Japanese word for “empty.” The final two syllables are an abbreviation of the Japanese word for “orchestra.” Consider how the term “empty orchestra” connects with the idea of karaoke.

Step 2: Think about the term “empty orchestra” on its own, apart from its association with karaoke. Come up with a new meaning for it. What kind of genre or musical form would “empty orchestra” be on its own?

Step 3: Record a piece of music exemplifying the ideas that arose to you during Step 2.

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0647: Day Drone

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0647 discussion thread on Lines:

This ambient drone was created using a Novation Peak controlled by an Arturia Keystep 37. Found a preset called “Happy Days” that seemed to fit this week’s theme nicely. The audio from the synth was recorded into Ableton Live where I added more reverb in addition to what the Peak produced. An additional texture track was created using a chopped up sample of the original audio. Used AudioThing Noises on another track for atmosphere. The “bee buzz” tones in some parts seemed to align with the assignment photo perfectly. Happy Drone Day 2024!

Disquiet Junto Project 0647: Day Drone
The Assignment: Make some daylight drones for Drone Day.

Last week I had a workshop in the alps. I recorded some cow bells (around 5 minutes, early in the morning) that I liked very much (I instantly thought: this is pure ambient, even without any addition). I added some reverbs and other things to alienate them. I consider this drone, because it's always the same cow bell sounds. I think they do pretty well as "daylight drones"…

Fun fact: Because the musical mind of Soundcloud is just a few femtometres long, this track is apparently classified as ASMR. That's the only reason why I tagged it afterwards.

Alpine Cowbell Drone [disquiet0647]

To me drones in daylight suggest, obviously, brightness but perhaps also a kind of straightforward simplicity and purity. For me, the sine wave rendered in the major scale represents these qualities. Hence this track is the result of a one lone sine wave oscillator tuned to the C-major scale. There is of course lots of looping and over looping and the requisite reverb.

Disquiet Junto 0657 was an invitation to compose a pice out of overlapping tones that start and stop suddenly.

I created multiple layers of synth pads, each holding a single note of random duration in the key of Am. Next I bounced the audio, slowed it by 75%, and reversed it to create abrupt stops in each tone. I blended that audio back into the mix to provide a low aural foundation. On top of this I recorded a couple of additional pads with held tones, chopped up with a grain stutter plugin. To wrap it up, I improvised a couple of wandering leads with "broken" synths in Cmaj/Amin.

I worked hard on the spacial mix, so headphones or a good pair of stereo monitors are recommended.
