I recorded three tracks, two based on the same chord sequence and the third using the incomplete track from last week’s prompt. The track I’d created as the basis for last week’s prompt, that I missed, ironically, due to time pressure, used VLC, skipping sections rhythmically, then played through a three part looper I made in MaxMSP, which was then fed through my modular to put it through some resonant filters and give it distortion. Another track used the new Klevgrand instrument, Speldosa, and the third used GlitchMachines’ Palindrome with a sample of a field recording of bells I made on the Brick Bay Sculpture Trail. I used two instances of ShaperBox 3 on each track with random, square, volume envelopes to create the random missing bits. There’s a bit of Valhalla Delay on the Speldosa track.

The track is built upon Haendel's prelude to Water Music

“Take the sound of the stone aging.”
Yoko Ono

Stones are the witnesses of: There are still deep connections to the archaic stories of our ancestors. We see the same skies, taste the same winds and tell the same stories about who we were and who we will become.

Stepping into the stones’s and sediments perspective: being exposed to the elements for ages and excavated, listening to the meandering tales of mankind.

This week’s project is based on a text by Yoko Ono, originally published in her book Grapefruit60 years ago, back in 1964.

"Nostromo revisited" is a sound atmosphere inspired by some room tones and the spaceship of the movie "Alien". The original Nostromo that I have just revisited was uploaded to freesound (https://freesound.org/people/fectoper/sounds/59/) just after its opening, back in 2005. That file has been downloaded thousands of times, and has been included in games, videos, music tracks, etc. I created this kind-of room tone with my JD-800 synthesizer, around 1993. Here I have extended its duration and added some layers, depth and processing.

Another evening out at the symphony, another excellent orchestral tune-up. I love how this sort of pre-concert moment can itself function like a composition, the murmuring crowd serving as an ersatz chorus.

The Devil challenges Johnny to an RC car race. The winner gets a plastic trophy - oh, and Johnny's soul! A humorous take on modern RC car racing, and a parody of "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" by The Charlie Daniels Band. Facebook comments: "OMG that's hilarious", "Very funny!", "Legendary".

# Disquiet Junto Project 0693: Melody Sorted
The Assignment: Reorganize a familiar song note by note.

I initially faffed around, thinking about sorting MIDI files (may still try this!) but what really got my attention was the idea of taking "In C", doing this operation on the fragments, and seeing how that would come out.

The full description of the process can be found in the GitHiub repo at https://github.com/joemcmahon/C_In.

The creative process is an addiction but not an obsession.
This short sentence is repeated numerous times with one layer slowed down and the whole subjected to a chain of changing effects.
