Disquiet Junto Project 0676: Sub Melody
The Assignment: Bury a slow melody deep inside a drone.

Step 1: We did a drone project last week and it went well, so let’s do another one. You needn’t have done last week’s to do this week, as is always the case. Again, you may, yourself, be experienced recording drone music, or you may never have recorded any. You may not even be sure what drone music is, in which case read up a bit. Not matter your experience and familiarity, please give some thought as to what constitutes drone music.

Step 2: Think about what makes a melody, even a very slow and simple melody, different from a drone.

Step 3: Now record a piece of music that is, objectively, a deep drone, but somehow within it, somewhere well below the surface, include a slow-moving melody.

An exploration of not bells ... be careful, though ... the SoundCloud algorithm doesn't consider this music, and I didn't really want to "modify your track to make it eligible" for recommendation to potentially interested listeners! 😂

I live in Glasgow where every child is taught this verse in school:

here is the tree that never grew
here is the bird that never flew
here is the fish that never swam
here is the bell that never rang

It refers to the Glasgow Coat of Arms which has a tree, a bird, a fish and a bell on it. The symbols represent tales and miracles from the life of St. Mungo (Patron Saint of Glasgow).

It seemed like a good fit for the title of this Junto project.

For the track I used a large metal light shade (that I found in the streets of Glasgow) and a rock. I rubbed the rock around the inside of the light shade, taking special care as to the speed, volume and resonance of the sound. Different areas of the shade produced different sounds; scraping, hissing or resonant tones. I recorded two tracks like this with contact mics and panned them hard left and right. Then playing the edge of the shade with a violin bow, I recorded some pulsing feedbacky sounds. I didn’t use effects or even any EQing, I just kept re-recording things until I got them exactly right, instead of fixing them on the computer.

All here, in reality, are works in progress and are therefore apt to change at any time. 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'

Sometimes it takes a dispassionate, independent view to actually see the truth of it ...

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.
