Interesting balance between nice and unpleasant.

Yes!! Very similar approach to the field recordings! Though my flora was covered in snow at the time I recorded...I do not get a sense of fright - this feels like the unknown and undiscovered!  Nice track!!

Klasse entwickelt, super tiefe Klänge und tolle Soundtexturen ... passt. Viel Spaß beim Disquiet:)

Disquiet Junto Project 0528: Landscape Architecture
The Assignment: Forge an unobtrusive path through musical flora.

I somehow felt the vegetation to be very alien, high frequency, fragile and stereo, the visitor of the flora low frequency, stabile and mono. From there on  I fumbled together things in Reaper. It got a bit lenghty, but I like it very much and needs it's time.

This track was initially inspired by the field-recording which can be heard in the background - a recording of a train passing provided by @disquiet at https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/train-source-1 for the Disquiet Junto Project 0635.

It incited me to create a composition mainly based on strings.

The Train of Thought  (Disquiet0635)

The first thunder
Is likely to shake
The tiered doll stand.

Like Santoka and Seisensui, Kawahigashi Hekigoto (1873-1937) was an important advocate of the free verse haiku.
Besides being a writer and critic of haiku, Hekigoto was a literary scholar, noh dancer, art critic, calligrapher, social commentator, and mountain climber.

The First Thunder (naviarhaiku531)

This track is an asynchronous collaboration with @user-807707609 (he_nu_ri) and @mikey_a as part of the Disquiet Junto Project: I was inspired by the wonderful track https://soundcloud.com/mikey_a/both-sides-of-the-river-disquiet0637 created by these two artists and added the sounds in the middle of the stereo field.

I tried to build on this soundtrack of a peaceful flowing river and add some more musical dimensions. A river can be a metaphor for many different things - and I would like to leave it up to the listener to reflect on this image.

The River - Your Dream  [with he_nu_ri & mikey_a] (Disquiet0638)

The third part of the disquiet junto challenge. 
I added a horn section to the beautiful track by Torsten Goerke (@torstengoerke) and Anatol Locker (@analoc), "Right Beside You [disquiet0637]":https://soundcloud.com/analoc/right-beside-you-disquiet0637?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0637

I added to Repet by @ActorNetwork and @Caustic_Gates - just a few synth notes and part of a field recording (by @tuit). Many thanks for letting me work on this and to @disquiet for organizing this lovely project. Countless hours of fun - and a lot of interesting music!

Disquiet0638 - Repet(ition) (with Actor Network and Caustic_Gates)

This week's #disquietjunto prompt was complete a trio begun by two other musicians.

I used a random number generator to choose from last week's duos at random, and I ended up with Right to Drum https://soundcloud.com/33per/right-to-drum-with-mikey_a by @33per and @mikey_a

I listened to it a few times and started hearing a low-pitched melody, like something played by a euphonium or trombone. Unfortunately my brass instruments are not with me (fortunately, perhaps, in my neighbors' opinions). So, I decided to try recording a melodica melody. 

I just got a dictaphone, and I want to experiment with recording things on the dictaphone and then pitching them down, so I recorded at double-speed and then altered it in Ableton Live.

The result actually clashed with Mikey_A's chord voicings, so I ended up just time-stretching everything but using the melodica's pitch.

The melodica sounded a little harsh (free reed instruments can have a lot of odd overtones, I read somewhere), so I used a saturator to try to even things out. It seemed crazy to add a saturator to something recorded on a dictaphone, but it worked, and I think the end result maybe sounds closer to a synthesizer.

I did some basic audio sculpting, like sidechain compression so all of the instruments made room for each other, and adding a slow filter sweep to the synths to give them some more movement. The track also starts in mono then quickly adjusts to stereo, then goes back to mono.

All in all, a fun project!  Thanks to eeper and mikey_a for sharing their creativity and music!!!
