Disquiet0572 Rythm Kit

Created for the 3rd day of Jamuary 2023.

This started with a drone I recorded this morning, using my Tocante Bistab, BugBrand Board Chirper, T2 reverb & Bastl Dude mixer.

I completed this in Ableton Live, applying Dieter Zobel's Brain Clown delay effect to the drone and adding a spoken word and rhythm track.

Jamuary is an annual challenge in which participants aim to make music every day in January, posting the results online. For more information, go to jamuary.org/

This Rule Is To Be Remembered

Kitchen Sinkology is a trio for violin, cello, and a drum kit sampled from nearly two dozen sounds in my kitchen. Knives chopping, cabinet doors opening and closing, oven and microwaves beeping, pots clanging, aluminum cans crunching, plastic bags rustling, and more. All these sounds are in the drum kit but not all made it into the final mix.

The drum patterns I used were borrowed and tweaked from the MIDI clips included in several Ableton Live add-on packs. I tried to keep the violin and cello parts relatively simple to allow the listener to hear more of the percussion parts.

For those interested in using my drum samples, the audition at the beginning plays the dry samples in General MIDI note order starting at C1 (Bass Drum). Assigning the kit to a GM-mapped drum sequence stands a pretty good chance of sounding decent.

Disquiet Junto Project 0346: Drum Machinations
The Assignment: Make a beat with new drum machine sounds provided by other Junto musicians.

I had this idea recorded on the fly on my iphone from a while back and decided to use it for this assignment.  It's 3 drum sounds that always play in the same order, which makes it bleed into the next measure creating 3 variations that take 3 measures to recycle.  the guitar chords take 4 measures, so it takes 12 measures for them to catch up to each other. I believe there was another Junto assignment years ago that played on this idea.  vgmrmojo's weird drum sounds I thought were perfect for the idea because they sort of go along with the sense of randomness the rhythm conveys.

catsup (disquiet 0346)

One day I decided to take my dog, skateboard, thyme and tocante and tried to figure out what am I doing with my life.
Performed live for youtube: https://youtu.be/9Cj3t_1MOdU

Is it over now?

Thanks so much for everybody who took the effort to provide these samples - it's been fun working with them! My approach was to select some of my favourite samples, and prepare by creating a looped version of each. I then transferred them to modules with sample playback capability on my modular system. The looped samples create a slowly moving bed with the non-looped ones triggered at different pitches with a short envelope.

https://disquiet.com/0419/ 2

This all came about as a result of something Alan Bland mentioned on the Junto Slack. He pointed out that my having misspelled Disquiet as “Disquier” in the December 19, 2019, project title made him think of “Dischoir,” a possible Junto project. Thanks to Alan and to Jason Wehmhoener for helping me think this project through, and to everyone (over 50 contributors) who sent in samples.

disquiet0419 - araucana

These samples were captured on my Zoom recorder today, using only the things around my house. I tried to incorporate sounds from the things that have been a part of my daily life in isolation; planting seeds, watering plants, closing doors, sanitizing things, making medicinal tinctures from Astragalus and Chaga, cutting my own hair and sewing masks. These drum samples are all sounds from activities I've just mentioned. Some of them have been pitched up or down inside of ableton.
