Disquiet Junto Project 0610: Speed Limit Pt 2
The Assignment: Combine two or more pre-existing 60 BPM tracks into something new — at half the speed.

Combined two tracks that seemed like they shouldn't go together:

Slow & Low (RabMusicLab, Samplair, A.Kitzmann)(disquiet0610)

I used tracks by Andreas Kitzmann, Analoc, Krakenkraft and Tristan Louth Robins (and in other versions also by Ray Cobley and Debroc). Thanks a lot for being able to work with those.

I made several tracks with different techniques - from straight mixing to editing to different granular tools. The one I uploaded was entirely made with the fantastic Granchild by infinitedigits. What I like about it is the soft and mysterious beginning and foundation which is based on the track by Krakenkraft. Next come three parts by Tristan Louth Robins, Analoc and finally Andreas Kitzmann. It is a very quiet affair and has a certain Revanchol vibe to it.

For those wondering about the cover drawing: after finishing a track I usually google its title and take the first image search result I like to base a drawing on. Here I googled a combination of the original track names, catnip blink drift, and somewhere buried in the results was Trent Reznor… So him it was.

Disquiet0610 - Cat Blink Fawn Drift

This assignment uses two songs from Disquiet0609 (made to be 60bpm) and combine them while setting the new song at 30bpm. I used Plucks & Pad from Noodle Twister (https://soundcloud.com/noodletwister/plucks-pad-disquiet0609) and combined it with SAMPLAIR's Disquiet 0609 (https://soundcloud.com/user-248104983/disquiet0609-60bpm). I altered the sounds and added LABS piano parts.

For this remix, I worked with a handful of tracks from the 0609 collection that I gravitated towards, chopping + processing them in Paulstretch, Twisted Wave, and Ableton Live to halve their speeds.

'Blink' by https://soundcloud.com/analoc became a melodic anchor that the rest of the remix was built around. It was interesting to listen to the results of slowing + pitching the original tracks down. Sometimes I would sample the original speed version, and others I would first slow down before stumbling onto something that clicked well with the composition.

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

Thanks to Mahlen Morris for having proposed this project.

Step 1: Pick a single percussion instrument.

Step 2: Record between 4 and 12 different short examples (roughly 20 to 60 seconds each) of playing that instrument. Imagine that each recording is by a different musician exercising a different aspect of the instrument. Make no deliberate attempt to match key or tempo or sonic quality between them.

Step 3: Imagine moving through space over the course of time, and encountering the sounds — overlapping somewhat — as you proceed. Arrange the recordings over the course of a track so that at least one and at most five of the examples are audible at any one time. To further the spatial movement, each could fade in at the beginning and fade out. They might, as well, move from position to position within the stereo field.

Step 4: If you wish, consider adding a noise bed underneath the entire piece to sew all of the pieces together, to provide a sense of the space one is moving through.

Drum & Hum (disquiet0612)

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0612: Drum Vector

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0612 discussion thread:

At first, I wasn't sure how to approach this project. Briefly fooled around with various ideas and percussive instruments, till I finally settled on composing this in Ableton Live. Not sure how accurately I followed the assignment though but at least I had fun.

Five tracks were created using Ableton Live's Wavetable synth, all with the Mallets/Crockhausen preset and Max for Live Octopulse sequencer. Different parameters for the synth and sequencer were adjusted for each track to try to emulate five different musicians. Audio was processed with Minimal Audio Cluster Delay and Arturia LX-24 reverb. Background noise/drone from AudioThing Noises. Image by Neosiam via Pexels.

using the rings module as the 'percussive instrument', played by marbles - eight different recordings, each using variations on marbles settings (rate, jitter, ...) - snippets recorded using tascam in room instead of directly - arranged in ableton live, specifically adding panning, some filtering, dynamics
