Disquiet Junto Project 0609: Speed Limit Pt 1
The Assignment: Record a track at precisely 60 BPM with the intention someone will subsequently rework it.

I'm traveling right now so all I had was my iPad. It's 60bpm, Cminor and 4/4. I sequenced something with MiRack Modular in 60bpm but I found it too boring. I put it into my favourite granular Samplr and resequenced it with 60bpm and some odd delay. I added some of my own voice to get us into the pop charts. There is even some live pool water noise field recording, but maybe to silent. 

The cover cat is owned by the owners of the house I live at the moment, and it's sleeping the whole day. Have fun, whoever adds to this track.

And yes, it was originally meant to be named "catnAp" …

Catnip in 60bpm [disquiet0609]

60bpmb • G# /  Ab

A dubby modular type composition using a Dannysound En-129 TZFM VCO as the a mid-freq synth voice, sequenced/performed by the Moog Grandmother arpeggiator. There were some filter pings from Serge Variable Q VCF as a rhythmic element.

Then I stumbled into a strangely interesting formant-y bass sound by manipulating Ableton's Warp settings and using M4L 'Envelope Midi' to shape the filter controlling it. The drums are one-hits sampled from modular and then resampled + rechopped using Twisted Wave and Ableton, and programmed with Drum Rack.

Transient Melter • 60bpm [Disquiet 0609]

Done for Disquiet Junto 0610

This was fun. This is mostly a quick sample of a percussive 4//lIGhT's 60 bpm Stomp bit, repeated excessively, with a tiny guitar-sounding bit from @tristan_louth_robins 's Refactored Drift. Filled out with @XHG 's Acrostic Speed Limit and some from a 4th one, but I forget.

Instructions:

Step 1: In the previous Disquiet Junto project, participants recorded a variety of tracks at a standard pace of 60 BPM. Listen to the resulting material on the Lines discussion board and the SoundCloud playlist:

https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0609

Step 2: Select two or more tracks from the provided ones, slow them to half their original pace — that is, to 30 BPM — and use editing techniques to combine them into one new piece of music.

Swrolds Amay - disquiet0610

I slowed the two tracks (“analoc - Blink” and “Andeas Kitzmann - disquet0609”) to 30 bpm with audacity, then mixed and processed the two tracks with csound, finally mastered with flstdio. Thanks to "analoc" Anatol Locker and Andeas Kitzmann.

Disquiet Junto Project 0610: Speed Limit Pt 2
The Assignment: Combine two or more pre-existing 60 BPM tracks into something new — at half the speed.

I selected two tracks that I liked, but more by incident, because I liked many (and most of them felt already finished). But with Refactored Drift from Tristan Louth-Robins (https://soundcloud.com/red_robin/disquiet_junto_0603-refactored-drift-60-bpm) and Transient Melter from ATW (https://soundcloud.com/atw/transient-melter-60bpm-disquiet-0609?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0609) I had the fantasy, that they would make a nice combination of melody and sound. I was very lazy and just slowed them to half speed. I also wanted to keep the result under five minutes, and I wanted both tracks to have some kind of a solo (because the ATW track more or less forced it). I edited and recut in Reaper by taste and justification, and I ignored scales and syncopation correctness (not totally, but they are surely not always "proper"). No additional knick-knacks but some subtile FX.

Thanks to Tristan Louth-Robins (Refactored Drift) and ATW (Transient Melter).

Refactored Melter [disquiet0610]

Many thanks to the relevant artists for the three tracks I used. I downloaded them simply because they are around the same length:
undermulden - Sleep Spindles
wasabicube - chwe deg
Johanthan Zorn - Disquiet0609 60bpm
After changing the tempo as required, extensive editing & a touch of reverb, this is the result.

Plucking Blink Wink) (disquiet0610)

This was my contribution for the collaborative Disquiet Junto Project 0610: Speed Limit Pt 2

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0610 discussion thread:

Ended up using part 1 compositions by @Timshel0, @dequalsrxt, and @tristan_louth_robins for this piece since they all seemed to work well with the Basinski style vibe I had in mind. I layered them into Ableton Live at 60 BPM and edited the audio in various ways by stretching, warping, chopping and looping the samples. Thank you to the three creators for the opportunity to use these creations, but also apologies for my excessive manipulation and mangling of your source audio.  

I recorded the mix onto a Panasonic RN-125 microcassette recorder and then, played it back into Ableton at half speed. Final tempo should be around 30 BPM. Added plugin effects from Arturia Rev Intensity (reverb), Phonolyth Cascade (reverb), Soundghost Drift (for more tape effects) and AudioThing Noises to the final mix.

The ambiguous title was inspired by reflecting on news headlines referencing "...a fragile peace" in conflict areas around the world.

A Fragile Piece [disquiet0610]

Sahara -   Downtempo Middle East Instrumental (13)

┈┈┈┈┈┈┈✦✧✦┈┈┈┈┈┈┈

"The Beginning of the End (From Soulless Point Game)" is the third soundtrack release for the game Soulless Point, in development by Per Triangle Productions, released on August 18, 2023. This EP further intensifies the immersion in the psychological horror of the abandoned asylum, combining sounds that oscillate between the disturbing and the deeply melancholic as the player progresses in their solitary escape—all built within the Godot 4 engine, resonating with the atmospheres of Half-Life 1 and Portal 2, but with a PSX aesthetic.

The EP opens with dark synth-pop tracks, where dense synths and processed vocals create a somber mood, accompanied by horror SFX and electronic timbales reminiscent of distorted ritual beats. As the soundtrack progresses, it enters the realm of ambient and atmospheric music, with wide soundscapes, drones, and textural layers that amplify the feeling of tension and absence of time.

The final track surprises with the introduction of an acoustic composition played on piano and saxophone, with a clearly narrative and emotional vocation. This passage can be categorized as reflective jazz or melancholic jazz, evoking farewell, nostalgia, and the humanity behind the yearning for escape.

This unfolding—from dark and menacing synth-pop, through foreboding sonic ambience, culminating in sensitive sax and piano—functions like a micro-narrative arc in music: from conflict to emotional resolution, from darkness to emotionally charged silence.

"The Beginning of the End" reinforces Ramon Inc.'s talent for creating tracks that not only accompany gameplay but also narrate the player's experience through music.
It's the sound of doors opening onto darkness—until a sax blast announces the end of the nightmare.
