The source of the chord is the piece “Organ²/ASLSP” by John Cage, to be played “As Slow As Possible.” Currently it is being performed in Halberstadt, Germany, on a special organ that will play it for a total of 639 years. Read up here:

I wanted to keep things simple by strictly using the original source material without any synthesis or fancy resynthesis. So I put the original recording in reaper and then sent various filtered versions of it through various effects. I want to create something like a bass drum from the track, but I didn't want to 'cheat' by doing pitch modulation / using a self resonating filter on it. That said, I ended up using a self resonating filter for the bassline like thing, and I used paulstretch to extract some tonal content. The best intentions.. I manually adjusted the clip so that it stayed roughly synchronised for the bulk of the track, but then mixed in the original recording at the end so that there was some syncopation.

I find it a bit heavy on the drudgery of the march, and if I were doing it again I think I would try to escape that drudgery by transitioning to more of a drone, but I'm not about to start from scratch now :)

The Assignment: Fast forward an old track to make a new one.

I used VLC and BlackHole, it worked mostly fine. After a handful of tracks I took "On Spiritual Mission" https://krakenkraft.bandcamp.com/track/on-spiritual-mission and ffwded it. I cut out a loop and looped it warped in Live. For me it still sounded like the original. So I mixed parts of the original into. I liked that it now had some kind of fractal self-similarity. The title plays on the fact that you need some time to get into the groove of the loop and I think after the lenght of the track one could get into it.

This is my entry for https://disquiet.com/2023/04/20/disquiet-junto-project-0590-concrete-roots/

I took a brief portion of a field recording I made several years ago of high tide in Provincetown Harbor (Provincetown, MA), and subjected it to a process inspired by Alvin Lucier's "I Am Sitting in a Room". I iteratively processed the sound through a convolution reverb using an impulse response (IR) from an empty concrete nuclear reactor hall, Each successive generation re-applies the reverb so that eventually we hear only the resonant frequencies in the space from which the IR was derived. This was a manual process, as I wanted to preserve the ever-increasing reverb tails, and also to control the reverb level to avoid digital distortion (which can be cool, but not what I was after).

When I assembled the segments into a single track, I decided to reverse the order so that the most highly-processed segment comes first, and the original recording is only heard at the end of the piece.

Made in Reaper using the Waves IRLive Stereo plugin. The IR is from the OpenAIR Project: https://www.openair.hosted.york.ac.uk/?page_id=626
