Night Train NYC

I completed this piece of TD-inspired music in September 2022, but was busy with other music, and didn't get around to uploading until now. It's another Berlin-influenced piece of sequencing featuring some occasionally dissonant processed audio samples instead of mellotron emulations.

EDIT: 20230222 I remixed the track, making a few changes. I updated the EQ on the bassy Absynth that enters at 0:12 to deal with some resonances in the low-mids, I centred the low frequencies of the 2 Absynth bass synth patches, and updated the sequences of two of the Modular V2 synths, and added some more volume automation. I also reduced the frequency boosts in the mastering EQ relative to the original version.

I was born in the year of the fire horse so I started with a gallop rhythm, with which I created a drumkit and sidechained all the other tracks, whilst removing the drumkit from the recording. The main voices are the Neutron and CZ-1000, with a very simple electric bass riff. Then the usual distortions, gatings and reverbs were applied.

This track is a new version of the track https://soundcloud.com/rabmusiclab/hoffnung-erfreut-den-traurigen-sinn. The intention is to create a new composition that retains the important elements but gives a new listening experience by shifting the focus.

The guitar-part of @Fnubi was replaced by guitar-loops provided by @roeland11 on looperman. The other instruments were adapted to the new harmonics. Some instruments were exchanged, new instruments were added (acoustic guitar, cello, an additional violin).

I owe my thanks to Roeland for providing the following loops used in this track:

Hoffnung ernähret die liebenden Hertzen (Disquiet0579)

Disquiet 0581 - this weeks challenge was to download a rhythmic field recording and make it part of a track or incorporate it somehow.

Thanks to Scott Fletcher for having provided the original material. It is used thanks to a Creative Commons license: Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0). Original track at: https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/helsinki-downspout/

I loaded the field recording into Ableton and put it into a drum rack. I then took all the bits between the beats (hiss and non rhythmic parts) and started to mess about with these, adding filters and effects and also playing them as drum hits - that is how the track opens. 
I them loaded all these hiss parts into a synth and stretched and played them as keys, creating the additional synth sounds with effects changing the sounds somewhat.  After jamming about for 30 / 40 minutes I hit reccord and laid down a fairly basic arrangement. 
I tweaked this slightly, adding a little more effects until I had a nice short experimental track i'm pretty happy with!

More or less the whole track was made with the source sounds but it's debatable if the original sound is recognisable?  However I took the prompot to "to sample and rework the source material" as a guide! 

Disquiet Junto Project 0581: Helsinki Downspout

The Assignment: Use a rhythmic field recording as the foundation for a new track.

Step 1: This is a shared sample project, one in which all the participants will utilize the same provided recording, about a minute and a half long, as the rhythmic element for their own music. Access the track, originally recorded by Scott Fletcher and used with his permission, here:

https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/helsinki-downspout

Step 2: Listen to the provided track several times. Think about ways to map its content, perhaps making notations about when certain unique, momentary aspects surface.

Step 3: Record an original piece of music for which the provided music is the underlying rhythm. You might take this quite literally, using the source as it is, resulting in a track that is precisely 1:35 long. Alternately, you might elect to sample and rework the source material. If you go the latter route, make certain that the original sound is, at least at some point in the finished track, recognizable.

Step 4: Because this is a Creative Commons resource, be sure to identify Scott Fletcher as the original recorder of the source material, and include a link to the source track. Identify the license as: Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0).

AN ELECTRONIC VOICES ALBUM

"Metafonia" is the Italian word that identifies the phenomenon known in parapsychology as "electronic voices".

- Metafonia II, IV and V are the less edited tracks, in order to leave the spirit of improvisation unchanged. Ideally these three represent a second volume within the first volume.

Each piece was made starting from vocal samples recorded and processed in real time with a laptop (and with the addition of some synths). The only voice behind these pieces is mine (at least I think, and above all I hope, even if I can never be completely sure), recorded while I was improvising random phrases, as if I were my own medium.

I waited a long time before deciding to finish and release this series of songs, the gloomy atmosphere of this end of October 2020 made me realize that it was time to let them go.

This is the first collection of songs made with this technique of editing random vocal recordings. Others to come.

"Metafonia" è la parola italiana che identifica il fenomeno noto in parapsicologia come "voci elettroniche".

- Metafonia II, IV e V sono le tracce meno editate, in modo da lasciare invariato lo spirito dell'improvvisazione. Idealmente queste tre rappresentano un secondo volume dentro il primo volume.

Ogni brano stato è realizzato a partire da campioni vocali registrati ed elaborati in tempo reale con un laptop (e con l'aggiunta di un po' di synth). L'unica voce alla base di questi brani è la mia (almeno credo, e soprattutto spero, anche se non potrò mai esserne del tutto certo), registrata mentre improvvisavo frasi casuali, come fossi il medium di me stesso.

Ho aspettato diverso tempo prima di decidere di terminare e pubblicare questa serie di brani, l'atmosfera cupa di questo fine di ottobre 2020 mi ha fatto capire che era arrivato il momento di lasciarli andare.

Questa è la prima raccolta di brani realizzati con questa tecnica si editing di registrazioni vocali casuali. Altre a venire. 

Released October 31, 2020
