Recorded, mixed & mastered 09 Mar 2024 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa.

Process notes
This is my Danelectro 12-string electric guitar in four similar variations in Live 12 Suite.

Each variation is through Live's 2x12 Near On-Axis amp preset and my own channel strip, including compression, sometimes high. I quantized these pretty close to whatever grid I was using at 76 bpm, if that matters to anyone. Use them as you would like!

Variation 01 - three notes, stretched out a bit in the Texture warp mode, with one note stretched a bit more. Live's overdrive is on here at mid-high frequencies.

Variation 02 - five notes, I think I left the speed alone here. Just put it through Beat Repeat in mix mode, my second-gen deconstruction of their Deconstruct preset with some fading decay, a 12 tone octave  and almost 100% chance of glitching.

Variation 03 - sped this up, slowed it back down and re-quantized this a few times. Then I used the newer Live distortion device, Roar, and edited/adjusted their Alien Symphony preset.

Variation 04 - I left the speed alone but applied reverse and fades to this one. This one is through the Redux at 4 bits and 11.7 kHz at a modest 20% wet.

Further variations will probably work their way into a future Heatsink track when I am ready to compile my next album under that name.

Four Variations for Left (disquiet0636)

A battery of sine oscillators, slowly moving out of tune. A bass drum keeping pulse. Distortion and convolution. A foundation.

Mound (disquiet0636)

Overlapping loops, inspired the the warmup noodlings of an orchestra. The sound source is the PolyD fed through the "Sleepwalker" patch of the Zoia.

disquiet0636 Short

This track is a slow drone using 11 different panned Logic Pro X organs. 7 play bottom C1, 2 play Aflat1, 1 plays A1, 1 plays G1. Added are arpeggiators, reverbs and other effects to give texture and pulse.

This in response to the first of this year's three part @disquiet collaborative project. More on the 636th weekly Disquiet Junto project, Left (1 of 3) — The Assignment: Record the first third of a trio — at https://disquiet.com/0636/

[disquiet0636] DRMA

Composed and created in Ableton 12. This was a great excuse to play around with some of the new instruments in Live 12.

There is a lot of spatial quality to the instruments. Best probably to pan the sound to the left if you like, or if extreme, take only the left side. Combining L+R to make a mono track will alter the tonal quality considerably.
