Transmission Feat Samplair (disquiet0637)

It’s been a rough and exhausting week, so the soothing guitar chords from Torsten Goerke (https://soundcloud.com/torstengoerke) instantly hit my sweet spot (Gruß nach Dresden!).

I extracted the MIDI notes via Ableton, added a granular reverb to it, and played a bit with the pitches. As the guitar line was a bit short, I doubled the part. Also, I added a shortwave radio segment to it.

Disquiet Junto Project 0637: Right (2 of 3)
The Assignment: Record the second third of an eventual trio.

While this is the second part of a three-part project, you can participate in one, two, or all three of the parts, which will occur over the course of three consecutive weeks, starting last week. 

Step 1: This week’s Disquiet Junto project is the second in a sequence intended to encourage and reward asynchronous collaboration. This week you’ll be adding music to a pre-existing track, which you will source from the previous week’s Junto project (disquiet.com/0636). Note that you aren’t creating a duet — you’re creating the second third of what will eventually be a trio. Important: Leave space for what is yet to come.

Step 2: The plan is for you to record a short and original piece of music, on any instrumentation of your choice, as a complement to a pre-existing track. First, however, you must select the piece of music to which you will be adding your own music. There are tracks by numerous musicians to choose from (47 as of last count). 

To select a track, you can listen through all those and choose one, or simply look around and select, or you can come up with a random approach to sifting through them.

It is strongly encouraged that you look through the discussion thread for the previous project on the Lines forum because many tracks include additional contextual information there:
https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0636-left-1-of-3/

Step 3: Record a short piece of music, roughly the length of the piece of music you selected in Step 2. Your track should complement the piece from Step 2, and leave room for an eventual third piece of music. When composing and recording your part, don’t alter the original piece of music at all, except to pan the original fully to the left if it hasn’t been panned left already. In your finished audio track, your new part should be panned fully to the right. 

To be clear: the track you upload won’t be your piece of music alone; it will be a combination of the track you selected in Step 2 and yours.

Step 4: Also be sure, when done, to make the finished track downloadable, because it will be used by someone else in a subsequent Junto project.

Step 5: You can contribute more than one track this week. In normal circumstances, Junto projects have a one-track-per-participant limit. You can do two this time. For the second, it’s appreciated if you try to work with a solo that no one else has used yet. I will keep an updated list in this Google Drive document of what has been utilized:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kDorIMT9j_nQQPXACYpMPe4B86T2QD5Xvv98XAOS4UE/edit?pli=1#gid=0

The goal is for many as people as possible to benefit from the experience of being part of an asynchronous collaboration. That, foremost, is the spirit of this project.

Length: The length is up to you. Stick close to the length of the track yours adds to.

Deadline: Monday, March 18, 2024, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.

Right Beside You (with Torsten Goehrke) [disquiet0637]

So many choices and such great pieces! My finally decided on alanblip's "leftydrone" which I thought would go well with a conversation that I recorded from a shortwave radio. I removed the static and duplicated a few key phrases, but otherwise left it as is, aside from a bit of reverb and a few contributions from Meng Qi's beguiling Wing Pinger.

For the second one, I checked my favourites against the list of "unused pieces" and went with https://soundcloud.com/bzurke/jupiter-6-phased-noise-pulse-for-disquiet0636 by soundoferror because of its somewhat forbidding coldness. The strange pulses just called for my Lyra 8, which adds some more improvised noises and sirenes (through Soma Cosmos and of course phasers). I think there is plenty of room for something to give this a whole new direction.

If you need a left-right-version, just ask.

For Disquiet Junto 0637: The Assignment: Record the second third of an eventual trio.
I added to Sinny Sound's "Lucky Link": https://soundcloud.com/sinnysounds2/lucky-link-disquiet0636?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0636
I wanted to add some light harmony to underscore the melody. Converted the melody to midi harmony in Ableton. Made some light adjustments to midi notes here and there. Used the Schwarzonator 2.0 device to help add some additional chord notes. Chose some light key sounds from Kontakt 40's keys and Playbox. Also light bass from Lode, and melodic tabla. Tapped in the shaker parts. Panned hard right with orginal panned left. 

Enjoyed listening Sinny Sound's lovely melody while making this. I'll be humming it all week!

It was fun listening to everyone's "Left" tracks this week, I'm always in awe by this community's talent and creativity!

Lucky Link Village (with Sinny Sounds) [disquiet0637]

The Nightmare Machine is a series of spooky lo-fi short tracks sounding like they are playing from the rusted circuits of a lost horror game cartridge left inserted in a blown up vintage game console. The dread, melancholy and creepiness they bring with them reek of the decay and fear that many times can dominate our most profound nightmares, testimony of inner torments that a lot of people have to conceal everyday and then manifest through their agitated sleep.
 
Originally aimed to be the soundtrack of an 8-bit game project that still has to come to light because of several unconveniences, I thought it would be a pity to abandon them and deny listeners some healthy shivers; thus, I decided to refurbish them as a small concept EP, with new mixing and mastering.

So... enjoy this gloomy trip, fellow listeners!

In Too Deep

"In The Symmetrical Moment of Time, Where The Light of The Cursed One’s Life Fades, He is Delivered To The Despair and The Pain That Echo in The Void of Darkness."

This composition is an auditory meditation on the irrevocable moment when the condemned understands: his fate was inscribed before his first breath. The symmetry of time unveils its cruel perfection — the same void awaiting him at the end has dwelled within him from the beginning. The melody is not a lament, but the cold acknowledgment that suffering is not punishment, but the final truth.

"His sentence is not death, but eternity in the void — where his victim's scream echoes within his own flesh."
