Under the influence from first 12 hours “the long now” - festival, I found the time for working on the Disquiet Junto Project 0273: Alarm Clocked!!
A small sound in my ears from the long night with great artists, took my IPad with CUBASIS, loaded 4 instances “DRONEO” and do the recording, after I added one little SAMPLR Guitar Track to wake up…have fun!!

modern time travel
living in the future
the body snoozes. the body adjusts. staying a wake.
this track is made from two sound snippets i recorded with handheld cassette recorder since being here. one is a chinese marching band i heard practicing outside the national concert hall and the other is a random sample from a live pa set by colour domes.

Hi,
Here’s my contribution:

I sampled my everyday alarm clock (from my phone) into the Op-1, and then I started experimenting.
It’s not recognizable but I also sampled my son crying (sometimes it’s my alarm clock…) and I made a glitch percussion with it.
I worked on the loops using Blocs Wave (iOS) and I added other sounds, then I recorded all back into the TE machine and I finished the track.
The track it’s a little too long, excuse me.

I slowly increased volume and arpeggiator rate and underlaid it with a recording of birds, until the anoying alarm starts and hopefully wakes you up.

Hey All, Jason Ray was the mascot for the Tar Heels. He was struck by a car and became an organ donor who gave many others the gift of life. The two men behind the mascot in this picture were two of the many able to live on by his unfortunate death and his giving spirit. I saw this story on Sportscenter and it really touched me. The alarm sounds

Used the alarm sounds by transposing both down and stretching them way out and adding reverb. I like how the bell sounds became like church bells.Then I added a beat and bass line. The second part you hear the alarms on a loop with a delay fx and crossfading.

GO TAR HEELS!!! Hugh

I have a sleep disorder and, for better or worse, don’t require an alarm clock to wake up at the appointed time. We have an old Seth Thomas clock purchased by my grandmother in 1932 that rings on the quarter hour, and I sleep so poorly that some nights it seems I hear almost every ring. So, when the clock rings 5 times I know it is 5am, and time to begin my day. My wife bought an alarm clock that chimes progressively over a period of time–long intervals between chimes at first, and then shorter intervals as the time for which the clock is set draws nearer. The first part of this piece is my idea for an improvement on the concept behind that clock(I do not like that clock at all), culminating with the way I usually awaken, courtesy of our 85 year old Seth Thomas clock.

Hey Junto, Recorded a live jam and took loops from it (second part), Midi converted those loops and put into various synths.

Hi, all – here’s mine: https://soundcloud.com/plusch/no-way-to-say-no-disquiet0273

Had technical problems, ran out of time, stayed up too late, put this together using four instances of Aalto. (Tomorrow’s alarm will be most unwelcome.)

I usually wake up in the morning to talk-show radio. On some weekends, when I think of it, I dial the radio alarm clock to RTE Lyric FM - a radio station here in Ireland that mostly features classical music - but also hosts some great jazz, and some significant avante garde stuff (Bernard Clarke’s Nova show in particular - www.rte.ie/lyricfm/nova/ - check him on soundcloud - https://soundcloud.com/bernard-clarke).

It’s my weekend treat, to wake to classical music. I reserve that pleasure for the weekends.

So for this Junto, I simply took the best of both - Debussy’s Claire de Lune, and an interview on Newstalk radio with Brian O’Driscoll, the celebrated Irish rugby player, recently retired - a fine talent and character…

The gradual ~3 min intro is actually two different public domain midi clips of Claire de Lune I downloaded from internet - one playing a Concert Harp in Air Structure, the other playing the Air MiniGrand piano at a faster tempo. I used the maxforlive device Random_Midi_Supression to randomly select notes from the midi stream to play back, and on an Upright Bass patch I selected the lowest note of the midi stream with HiLoMidiFilter maxforlive device, transposing it to a sensible upright bass octave using the Midi Octave Fold maxforlive device.

Once the 3 min period was up, I simply played the Claire de Lune midi in full into that Harp sampler, and left the bass play the occasional root/lowest note for some low-end substance.

Used a few reverbs and delays here (Amazing Noises Outer Spaces, Audiority GrainSpace, Replika XT, Bloom), automated the mix levels - and some eq and stereo widening from Ozone 7. EQ and two of Ableton’s Erosion devices got me lo-fi with the radio sound…

I had worked on some classical parts, and maybe I ought to have stuck with that, but between time, and in homage to the gems Lyric FM has thrown up for me over the years, I instead chose to use midi from the public web.

Hope you enjoy.

The picture has the two main characters of the song, the Astroboy alarm clock and the coffee maker. One other sound is a food steamer. Mostly samples, then a bit of reverb and delay added, mildly salted with panning. Ending could be a bit better … (I mean the part after around 2:30 … should be continuing to intensify)
