If this is over the top, sign me up. Go, go, go! Great process and concept well explained and completed. Thank you for your generosity in this.

Oh I like the re-spacing already. Creates some nice movement.

Disquiet Junto prompt 0683 instructed us to make a piece of music that is half in space and half not in space.

Radio waves travel at the speed of light, and when the first radio transmission crossed the Atlantic it was said that distance had been abolished. Without distance, there's no space. So half of the song is a story that takes place on a radio, and is about a radio, and was performed in part on a radio, removed from place and space.

There are no synthesizers or synthetic samples in this piece. Instrumentation was a heavily processed guitar played with ebow, a Schechter Damien 7-string guitar, shortwave radio, shoebox cassette recorder, and field recordings. The radio noises and vocal parts are removed from space through a custom convolution reverb I created using a spike of low-frequency AM noise as an impulse response, essentially placing the sounds in the ionosphere.

The story I tell in the song is true.

Soft, Driven, Slow, and Mad (disquiet0683)

Hello, this is a variation of a track I've been working on for a "all percussion" project. I decided to boost the reverb time and amount on all kick and bass drum hits and keep the manual little percussions fully dry, just leaving the ambient sound of my room that's a tad more  alive  than a small studio room, but still very dry. And no reverb added.

I think this assignment's idea was interesting and worked alright here, all the bamboo drums and little hi pitched manual toys sound in your face and the "Booms!"  are extremely wet and it works. I guess.

Disquiet Junto Project 0683: Space Shot
The Assignment: Combine reverberant and non-reverberant.

This weeks prompt immediately gave me the idea of combining an inherently natural reverb sound with a guaranteed unnatural, reverb-free sound. 

The natural reverberated sound comes from two layers of a field recording of a church in Vienna, recorded in October, which provides ambient noises. The naturally guaranteed reverb-free sound consists of several layers of yesterday's WebSDR recordings, which provided rhythmic and melodic components.

The reverb-free sounds here start with a lot of synthetic reverb and end as they are in reality. The church was stripped of reverb from the beginning with two layers of RX10 de-reverb, which is gradually reduced until the natural reverb of the church dominates. Mono/stereo and panning followed these ideas. So at the end of the track there is a naturally reverberant church and the WebSDR noise, which comes naturally without reverb.

I particularly liked this contrast because reverb indicates spaces; a church is more than a space, as a sacred space it has its own spatiality, so to speak, in Karl Popper's World 3, which contains ideas as much as art. The WebSDR signals seem spaceless, and yet they fill the expanding sphere of their propagation – and the signals itself may transport meaning and ideas from a World-3-Level.

Yes, perhaps a little bit over the top, but that's what I liked.

The Assignment: Combine reverberant and non-reverberant.

There is just one step to this project. Record a piece of music in which half of the material is recorded in a highly reverberant space (or has spaciousness applied to it through effects) and half of the material is just sound in isolation, devoid of any sense of space or place.

Hi, I've been working on percussion tracks, so I took this picture (taken in souther Spain), it is not really "shapes of the grain" but the pikes are so massive and menacing that I couldn’t stop thinking as a good notation for a spicy percussive track. I see short, high transient sound anyway.
So I decided to use my new Oberheim DMX virtual instrument exclusivelly, changing pitch and sound for the toms to represent those spikes.
Anyway, glad to be back on a junto, cheers DD
