Disquiet Junto Project 0431: Solitary Ensembles x 3

Very nice samples to work with.
I unmuted the first 3 (or the last 3?) the more "synth" ones, didn't use the glitchy/noise tracks. Those 3 tracks played back with no added fx or mix sounded full Vangelis for me.
I  miss and I know I will miss Vangelis Papathanassíou for the rest of my life.
This one's for him. 

3 tracks from Marcus Fischer's sample set, tweaked and slightly edited
3 tracks performed by myself on Friday June the 30th during the morning: one electric piano, 2 synthesisers: Ultra Analog VA2 and Micro Korg

So Long Vangelis (disquiet0600)

Disquiet Junto Project 0600: Reaching Out
The Assignment: This is a shared sample project. Rework a set of seven WAV files provided by Marcus Fischer.

I wanted to make a ten minutes track, because thats 600 seconds for disquiet0600. Some of the samples went into granular meat grinders of different kinds (but mostly Granulator II in Live), others were used more or less directly, but with something from Puremagnetik as an FX. I went by stomach for a track that would please my taste, using only Marcus samples

All sample sound material: Marcus Fischer – thank you!

Cover image: Clipdrop / Stable Diffusion, prompt: "Der Lederschürzenclub der Unruhe", edited.

Rejigged (disquiet0629)

I extracted 6 parts from an old track of mine. These are initially exposed in sequence, subsequently the processing was done by altering exclusively the speed and duration of each part. The piece from which I extracted the 6 parts was built with csound, the subsequent reworking was also done with csound and then mixed with audacity.

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0629: Jigsaw Logic

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0629 discussion thread:

Wasn’t sure how to go about this project at first so I wasn’t going to participate but after thinking about it for a bit, landed on the following solution. 

I used the piece that I created for Disquiet Junto 0589: Auto Play from April 2023, Autogenic Succession. Imported the audio file into Ableton Live and let Simpler auto-slice the sound file. I then used the Max for Live MIDI device, Random Notes by Hacktive, to sequence the slices onto two tracks. It took several tries of tweaking before I was somewhat happy with the final result. The final minute is the unaltered last section from the original project.

Solitary Ensembles x 3 - disquiet0431

took the beautiful collaboration by @forcedamage and @wasabicube https://soundcloud.com/wasabicube/force-damage-own-medicine-disquiet0430
and added a bit of fretless guitar, with some compression and delay. I tried to make minimal additions--the original is so sublime.

disquiet0431 force damage own fretless medicine

This is a collaboration between Paul Rose, Douglas Scott, and Douglas Murray. Some guitar improv from Paul, an overdub by Douglas, and anther overdub of waves by me, another Douglas. I had to take the hard panned previous two tracks and mix them together with my addition, which I did in Pro Tools, with minimal effects.

Tele Sunday - Morning Light - Waves - Disquiet0431

Daniel Diaz: bowed upright basses & filters (on original track)
@MarcoLucchi; mellotron é & synth
@michel-banabila: Synthesizer

My first contribution to this collaborative challenge, based on https://soundcloud.com/marcolucchi/der-steppenwolf that's Marco's collaboration with michel [banabila](https://llllllll.co/u/banabila)  adding to his track [Michel-banabila – Fase-1-disquiet-0429-solitary-ensembles](https://soundcloud.com/michel-banabila/fase-1-disquiet-0429-solitary-ensembles)

This one really liked and puzzled me, there's a mysterious modulating sound and performance on the mellotron that  reminds me of Gregorian chant, even if the sound is no "voices" but more like a string-harmonium sound. But it evokes a bunch of ancient Greek monks on acid , recorded on an old Geloso (what won't I give to lay my hands again on my mum's old Geloso that served as my first experimental recording device when I was 6 ?) Nevermind...
Thanks to Marco and Michel for their inspiring track.

der steppenwolf kommt zurück - disquiet0431 w/Marco Lucchi & Banabila

Third collaboration for this week's junto joint:
This one's a more standard track, with bass, guitar, drums and an overdub of accordina.
I performed over @howthenightcame 's track https://soundcloud.com/howthenightcame/c-disquiet0430-ryan-scott-mattingly
That was his duo over @ryanscottmattingly 's https://soundcloud.com/ryanscottmattingly/rabbit-food-disquiet0429
I played standard rhythm section (upright bass) over the basic guitar+drum track, then added an Accordina improvisation over it.
It’s nice, melancholic, it was a pleasure for me, cheers

Solitary Trio - disquiet0431 (collaboration w/  htnc & ryan scott mattingly) -

My source track was https://soundcloud.com/red_robin/disquiet0430b-solitary-ensembles-x-2-unexpected-descent-chalkwalk-tlr from Tristan Louth-Robins.

I was very intimidated when I listened to the track and at first didn't feel I could add anything of value to it. I decided to overcome my fears, but it was clear I was going to be understated about it, especially since I only work with virtual synths. I didn't want to drown the lovely source material in sawtooth waves.

So I added a sedate drum part, some pitched percussion (thumb piano and bells), and a whistling patch from the Reason Grain instrument. The thumb piano and whistling were played instead of sequenced, for a more organic feel. I wish I could have done the same for the drums, which I fear are too mechanical. I change up the drum rhythms during the break and add a percussion loop. In the final section the rhythm pares down to very little though I bring back the bells for contrast.

Orphaned Loop (disquiet0472)

I went for a relatively simple approach attempting to leave space for other contributors. Only two parts: a bass and a melody (in need of rhythm and harmony) at 102 BPM in E minor. This version is stereo, but you can download a mono version hard panned left here:

Jam Time 1/3 (disquiet0472)

This was built on top of:
https://soundcloud.com/ymeynard/amniote-disquiet0472

My thought here was that it could do with some percussion, so I designed sound percussion sounds. I made a set of sounds then did a few layers of finger drumming in time to the original. I struggled a little with the transition into the bridge (which has a different tempo) but broadly I think it worked out. You can download a version with the two parts hard panned left & right here:

Placebo Effect 2/3 (disquiet0473)

Disquiet Junto Project 0474 – Complete a trio by adding a track to an existing duet by two other musicians.

How do I start? Singing is always dangerous, if you are not a singer… No… okay, this way: Some children can only be loved by their parents… one must stand by one's misdeeds … my microphone was broken … the true beauty of music is that it connects us, yes, this is it! 

I startet with the playlist https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0473 and went to "around the middle of it" and started listening until I found something I liked: https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0473 by https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz (guitar) and https://soundcloud.com/ray_cobley (synth). The strange mixture felt right and asked for some voice.

So I improvised with the text given by the titles (and some extra text). I did two takes. I added as much plugins as possible to hide the fact that I can't sing. As you can hear: Neither can I sing, nor am I able to hide it with production gimmicks.

Anyway, after slicing my vocals I somehow liked it. Yes, you will have to listen to it 20 times, drinking some high octane booze, but then you will discover the hidden beauty of this track. Thanks, guys, I really had a lot of fun with this!

Diaz/Cobley/Krakenkraft: Would Somebody Please Do Something? [disquiet0474]

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.
