This week's prompt was to create the sound of a nightmare that resolved to a soothing C6/9 chord.

I pretty much worked backwards, recording longtones on my melodica and then pitch-shifting them down to C2, E2, A2, and D3 (whether the sound of a melodica is soothing or not is up to your personal taste). Then I shmudged them up using various FX plug-ins that had wet/dry knobs.

I mapped the wet/dry mix to one macro knob in Ableton so the percentage of noise-causing would decrease at the same rate for each plugin.

It was a fun tour through my lesser-used plug-ins. Shout out to Puremagnetik, whose plug-ins showed up a lot in the various fx chains.

The image was created using DALL-E 2 with the prompt "lucid dreaming, slumber mill"

Made for the 573rd weekly Disquiet Junto project — Float Mode (The Assignment: Add material atop a pre-existing beat to form a complete track) — at: https://disquiet.com/0573/

About this contribution: 
I started playing with a few and ultimately ended up working with @SinnySounds "Two Over Three" with its catchy persistent poly-rhythms in 6/8. I layered in some sounds that came out of the same live session as the beat I shared for my Rhythm Kit contribution last week. I wanted some low end drum sounds, so I added @Freeways rhythm kit track "M8@DAFDrum>M8" with it's huge bass sound. There's also some ambient outdoor sound from this: https://freesound.org/people/pcaeldries/sounds/65813/
