Weather Satellite (disquiet0647)

This week's Disquiet Junto suggested a drone made for the daytime. 

I started with a field recording from my front window. I took the first clean 4 minutes of that, and discovered a lone cicada singing around the 3:30 mark. This is the first cicada I've heard in the neighborhood this year. I supplemented that field recording with some crows that I captured in Virginia a few years ago.

The drone was recorded in a single take on a slide steel guitar with ebow and a collection of pedals. Underneath it all is a sample of a ceramic drum.

The title is taken from the Wikipedia entry for cicadas, describing them as being able to blend in with their surroundings. You can experience this for yourself with a good pair of headphones.

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.
