Disquiet Junto Project 0506: Wipe Out. The Assignment: Take something whole and erase half of it.

As I'm on vacation at the moment I looked for some easy way to do this. I decided for https://soundcloud.com/winterer/along-the-river-of-lethe as source material and put it into a 120bpm grid (I think originally it was something odd around 90). I cut it into slices, deleted every second bar and put the result together. 

No big thing, but I like how the wiping adds to the imo mysterious convolutedness of the track. And strangely I don't miss anything...

Disquiet Junto Project 0506: Wipe Out
The Assignment: Take something whole and erase half of it.

Step 1: Take an existing recording of a piece of music, preferably something of your own.

Step 2: Remove half of the track (however you might define half), and in the process create a new version of the original, or something entirely new, or something in between.

Shim Out -  disquiet0506

I decided to pull out one of my old favorite techniques for this one: using Paulstretch with unconscionably long windows (5 seconds, 10 seconds, 40 seconds...). This takes a sample and moves it from a musical gesture to a long harmonic drone. 

I started out with the ukelele track, and stretched it 2.5x with a 5 second window. I stretched the accordina 2.1x with a 10 second window to get the primary melodic and chordal motion. Both developed a melody within the drone as the stretch was done.

I then stretched the piano 1.1x but with a 30 second window, then copied it, reversed it, and duplicated this again to bring it up to approximately the length of the other two tracks.

At this point, I started layering things up in Audacity and adjusting relative levels. I decided I wanted to leave a little of the original samples audible as they were originally, so I brought in the electric guitar chords and the rhythmic bass. I realigned the chords to appropriate places against the piano/uke/accordina lines, then carefully edited the bass to duplicate one bar of the rhythm so I could repeat it to almost the end of the track.

I then took the hang sample and pitched it up 3 octaves, resulting in a funky phasing tone in the mid-register. I applied a little Valhalla Freq Echo to that to give it a little more motion, and last, I brought in the low electric bass, carefully lining it up against the hang, and duplicating notes as required to get it to the correct length.

Final mixdown was adjusting relative levels of the tracks and tweaking EQ lightly.

This was done 100% in Audacity, using the Paulstretch, fade in, fade out, and pitch shift tools, with Valhalla Freq Echo for a tiny bit of sweetening.

In DD's Key of C - disquiet0507

I laid DD’s samples end to end and made them into a wav file in Audacity. This was then explored using my demo copy of The Mangle (using a bit more restraint than I usually display). The result was cut up and rearranged over several drones created from the cello sample, with some reverb added and some other fiddling with track lengths and channels. A few glitches were cleaned up and some extra bits from the mangle remixed and sprinkled over the beginning and end sections.

I doubt that the end result is still in C, and probably has strayed into many other keys, hence the title.
 
----------------------------------------------

The Assignment: Make music with 10 acoustic instrument samples all in a shared key.

Step 1: This week’s project is based on a great “construction kit” of WAV files in the key of C recorded for us by Disquiet Junto member Daniel Díaz. 

Step 2: Listen through the tracks, which include piano, two electric guitars, melodica, bowed upright bass, and other instruments.

Step 3: Record your own track employing the source audio.
