Evoking a lonely person attempting to follow the big world, echoing its movements in order to fit in, yet making an individual utterance.

My friend pytchblend put me onto Disquiet Junto and the disquiet0243 project, so in memory of Bladerunner and all things Vangelis, I cracked out the big guns! Hardware synths only here, track was played live in one take - left hand playing Ableton Push 2 out to a big multi - two Mutable Instruments Shruthi’s, Vermona Lancet (resonance on aftertouch), and two Sonic Core Scope Modular IV patches, right hand playing the lead line on Arturia Microbrute. Shade of delay and reverb in Ableton.

Hope you enjoy.

Thanks Raytracer. I wanted to avoid the Vangelis sound, but that is also the “sound” of the first movie. In the scenario where I would be sending in unsolicited demo tapes, there would be some attempts to say both “These new sounds will really make your new movie pop” combined with “This is like the old sounds, so it is a safe bet. Please write me a check now, thanks.”

There are no stills leaked from the new movie yet, just concept art, but nothing really worked for the SC image selection, so I used a pic of one of the puppet master’s little guys. Hopefully one of these resurfaces as a central character in BR II.

Here’s my submission: disquiet0243 Wish I’d had more time this week to flesh it out further. Every sound was made with Monark (a virtual analog synth in Reaktor) and arranged in Ableton Live.

Hope I’m not too late. I still have a half hour to go…

Man or machine, who is the replicant… Done entirely on iPad using Auxy, iDS-10, Filtatron and Cubasis. Part soundtrack, part homage to a suitably contemporary film.

It’s too late to write more but hopefully you’ll enjoy it.

Lovely. I like this a lot, and yes, super-apt that the tonal composition of the film is as important as the deliberate ‘music’.

had no clue at first how to get into this project,played a while with some sounds but was´t happy with them. ended up again on Darksynth,my all time favorite weapon against boring soundscapes.
further there are a crappy drum rack i filled with some bits and beeps,pong deluxe for a bit randomness,again a mellotron track,
an arp combisound, both from the classic keys.
as effects i´v just had a reverb.

Probably hard to believe for most of you but I’ve never seen this film so it will be interesting to experience it indirectly thru your recordings. I still wanted to contribute to the junto but ran out of time.

In preparation over the weekend I watched an excerpt of the opening scene, read a few overviews of the film plot (and book it’s based on), and checked one of Ridley Scott’s interviews.

The most intriguing idea found during my quick research was the concept and implementation of Voight-Kampff testing.

Seems nobody else chose that aspect of the story so I might still work on a piece anchored around VK at some point. Really interesting stuff…

thats a fine explanation why this movie has got this long-terme impression and
influence for so many people.

#78

Yeah, there’s much about the score I admire and, in many case, love, but it’s really at its best in the context of the film.

#79

you know then there’s the fact that apparently the theatrical release had narration (which has been removed in subsequent edits)

it would’ve been interesting to create an alternate take on the spoken parts while maintaining the rest of the music and sound fx from an original scene

Some superb stuff here folks. This was my first post to Disquiet Junto, and I feel I have learned loads. Turns out, for example, I really like understated beds of sound underneath musical parts. And I like a rhythm to creep into a track. Thanks all!

Way to fight the battle using the tools at your disposal. Gear lust is SO real. Love the effect you had with your modwheel.

Agreed, the level of participation and quality of work have been truly impressive. So many songs here would do any sci-fi movie proud! :blush:
And yes you should watch again, might I suggest on blueray without narration?! :ok_hand:

I assume you mean with the big vibrato in the middle? as that’s the bit I really like. It was a lucky accident. I just hit the mod wheel to see what would happen and there it was. It’s a synth patch followed by two reverbs in series.

Yes that, and just the fact that you found a way to creatively interact in a new way with your established system.

Yup, I have to agree with all of the above. The level of quality this time around is inspiring–and also a bit daunting, insofar as the more I listen, the more I feel I have to learn about music.
Thanks to everyone for sharing!

Superb entries all around, and a thoroughly enjoyable listen. I’ve ended up resurrecting the old Blade Runner PC game :slight_smile: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_Runner_(1997_video_game)
