Synth & effects

Having worked with musicians who aren't always mindful of leaving space in their playing, I dedicate this piece to them. I drew upon that experience while creating this work.

Stealing Third Base (disquiet0697)

Disquiet Junto 0697 is the first in a series of three, where each successive prompt's response is a contribution to a trio created via asynchronous collaboration.

To get this one going, I decided to contribute a bass/arp layer. I recorded three tracks on a keyboard controller and played back the notes on a tabletop Moog Minitaur bass synth while sculpting the sound in realtime. I love the Minitaur’s monophonic analog sound so much, and it’s a joy to perform on.

There is minimal processing on the tracks (light sculpted distortion and chorus) and no reverb. It’s also in mono so easy to pan left in the next prompt! If anyone wants stems, please let me know.

The piece is in C minor at 80bpm. I tried to provide a foundation while leaving plenty of room for other people, hopefully I struck that balance. I can’t wait to hear what you do with it!

Part I [disquiet0697]

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0697: First Third. The Assignment: Record the first third of a trio.

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0697 discussion thread on Lines:

Decided to go with rhythmic/percussive samples for the first stage of the project. The three samples, variations of the same patch, were created using Lorre-Mill Double Knot V3 processed through a Comb Room delay. The audio was recorded into Ableton Live and exported without any effects. Have fun!

My track notes regarding the creation of this track can be found here: https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0697-first-third/71838/18

The Assignment: Record the first third of a trio.

Please note: While this project is the start of a three-part sequence that will unfold over the course of three consecutive weeks, you can participate in any or all three of those parts.

Step 1: This week’s Junto project is the first in a sequence intended to encourage and reward collaboration. You will be recording something with the understanding that it will remain unfinished for the time being. Your part will be done, but more will happen. Read on.

Step 2: The plan is for you to record a short and original piece of music using any instrumentation of your choice. Conceive the piece as something that leaves room for something else — other instruments, other people — to join in. (Keep in mind that your piece resulting from this week’s project will be panned to the left in the second and third weeks of this sequence.)

Step 3: Record a short piece of music, roughly two to three minutes in length, as described in Step 2.

Step 4: This is important: be sure to make your track downloadable because it may be used by someone else in the next Disquiet Junto project, and the one after that.

Disquiet Junto Project 0697: First Third
The Assignment: Record the first third of a trio.

I used a drum kit made from a sample of water dripping in a hotel bathtub, obviously warped in various ways.  I used a sequencer that triggers the samples in a random way then I went back and did some editing, leaving some pauses.

I wanted to create something simple and circular that could stand alone for this first part of the @disquiet trio project. Using the Silver Age piano preset on Logic Pro with no effects, I repeat the note sequence D, G, D, A, F# eight times, sometimes letting the D and A overlap. There is no bpm to this and the only alterations I made when listening to this several times after recording this sequence, was to reduce the velocity on many of the notes to evoke an almost 'not really playing' quality to the piece.

Looking forward to hearing if anyone takes this further.

All here, in reality, are works in progress and are therefore apt to change at any time. All those except XIII Sisters and RAW which, as many of you may have done, I literally gave away in return for their placement in a library. Something I won't be doing again any time soon. If you have a use for something you hear here please just ask.

ChatGTP said of AI Music...
'Creative AI tools can be seen as sophisticated plagiarism software, as they do not produce genuinely original content but rather emulate and modify existing works by artists subtly enough to circumvent copyright laws'

There are links to XiiixxiQ below. Your mileage may vary as to whether it decides to work on your system or not. It only runs on a Mac because I really don't have time to do all the necessary work to make it compatible with anything other than my 2015 MacBook Pro :-(. It is still being developed (for my own use) and improved, and I may yet get round to doing another release if I can find the time to tidy it all up.
