Baltazar’s Adventure through the Great Machine 
In early May 2019, composers working in the city of Sheffield recorded sounds in and around the Kelham Island Industrial Museum, using these to create musical works that resonate with the space and place of Kelham Island. In much the same way as one might imagine the transformation of the spaces of heavy industry, such as Brooklyn Works becoming residential accommodation, the ten sound artists transformed the sounds of Kelham Island, giving them a new home. 
This piece imagines the huge machines as if from a child-like fantasy. It follows the journey of fiction character - Baltazar - as he travels into, and through, the greatest machine of all.  Join Baltazar as he journeys through the Great Machine in search of its beating, mechanical heart. As the machine judders and splutters into life, will he avoid the pistons and valves, cogs and bursts of steam?  Warning: contains scenes of mild peril.

For Ozzy, Zac, and Kaia. 


Adam Stanović started composing electronic music some twenty years ago. At that time, early experiments with tape machines and a four-track mini-disc recorder led him discover the potential of recorded sounds, and he quickly started using computers as a tool for music-making. Ever since, Adam has considered the fixed medium as a canvass for his works which, although mostly acousmatic, are sometimes accompanied by instruments, electronics, film, and animation. In all cases, his music explores ways in which both pitch and noise coexist within recorded sound, with musical form often delivering one from the other. Adam’s music has been heard in over 400 festivals and concerts around the world. His works are available on 12 different CDs.

Disquiet Junto Project 0539: Control Breath
The Assignment: Let your slow breathing guide a piece of music.

Being lazy, I wanted the breathing itself to do the music. So I used plugins on my breathing, that use the source audio more or less as something to resonate on. At the end it's mainly AAS Object Delay and Micheal Norris Spectral Filterbank / Blurring / Bin Shift / Grain Streamer / Harmonizer plus filters, panning, reverb.

For this challenge:
Disquiet Junto Project 0543: Technique Check
The Assignment: Share a tip from your method toolbox: Think of some technique — small or larger, simple or complex — that you employ when making music.

Hi, "rhythmic delays" is my technique for this junto.
This is something I use a lot, this is not the most abusive example of it, but it's really important for this track, and peculiar cause it's all acoustic instruments (I do use this a lot on electric guitars) 

I recorded this one last year on an "hotel room" setup, I had my laptop, a great microphone and a very good audio interface, a small requinto, an harmonica, some hand percussion  and a soprano ukulele.
Back home I decided to finish a second track that I did release earlier this year but this one stayed on the vault, unused, unfinished.
 
The use of my technique of rhythmic delays is more prominent as the track advances, I set up a couple of delay lines (mostly straight 1/8th notes, a 1/4th note echo and a syncopated dotted 1/8th notes one. I add more delay as the track progresses and gradually augment the feedback. It's quite simple and effective.
And it gives a weird "robotic" feel to a pure acoustic performance.

Comments are welcome (this is one of those tracks that could remain in my vault for decades, and I appreciate that the junto challenges push me to revisit it and just share it)
