Inspired by Wust I decided to create my own instrument. I used a metal fan cage and recorded through a delay to get a longer decay. I pitched down 12 and 24 unwarped so the timing offset and copied the tracks into different places in the stereo field. I lowered one down 48 and kept it in the center. Seasons Greetings and Happy New Year!

Later, Les

Variations On a Note [disquiet0260]
Disquiet Junto Project 0260: Tone Fade
An exercise in when a sound ends.

On my piano I played a C natural 2 octaves below middle C while muting the strings with my thumb. I moved my thumb slightly between each note which brought out different harmonics. Took this track and layered it 4 times shifting the pitch up a 5th, octave, and third creating a major chord.

Amplitude modulated each of the 4 tracks with a slow sine wave (10 second cycle, 75% depth) and at 4 different phases (0, 90, 120 and 180) creating a slow cross fading between the 4 tracks. Added a bit of pitch stretched root note and some additional reversed piano sounds (opposite of fade out) for atmosphere.

Recorded with a Zoom H5. Edited with Audacity.

16 Strums for 2016
https://soundcloud.com/mtnviewmark-bits/16-strums-for-2016-disquiet-0260

I’m in the back room of the house, but there is still leakage from the holiday bustle in the rest of the house. And if you listen carefully, a very much in-tune airplane!

I choose to play a McNally Strumstick, which I’ve had for years. My mother gave this to me when I was in college… and she happens to be visiting, so circle!

The source material for this piece is the sub oscillator of an Intellijel Dixie II+ triggered by a Mutable Instruments Peaks, then routed through Rings, Streams, and Clouds. Modulated by Tides, with the length of the decay determined by a Make Noise Maths and routed to the outside world through a Synthrotek MST hard-panned stereo output module.

Fine and wind blowing today.
I used sine wave of AKAI S20.
Connect with ableton’ s audio track that inserted autotune(dry50%) of m4l.
left hand>> control autotune’s pitch, audio volume.
right hand>> push a pad of AKAI S20.
Recorded speaker-sounds of them to another track of ableton. (Blue encore 200)
Then added some beats,loops.

Hi Juntonians,

here’s my contribution for the week. I was excited to be able to record this old player piano that I love. Thanks for the excuse to do so!

Thankfully I got the assignment before leaving for vacation, so I grabbed my Zoom H4n recorder before leaving.

The house where I’m staying has an old out of tune player piano in the basement. I set my recorder in front of the paper roll (pictured). Not the best recording, but good enough for this project.

I did edit the track a little, since the ring-off of the piano was longer than the recorder could capture. No other processing, though.

I love the out-of tune sound and the harshness of the old piano strings.

Hope everyone is getting some well-deserved time off over the holidays!

Here I am playing a water distribution tank that sits atop my out-laws’ property on the outskirts of Wagga Wagga.

I’ve rigged a line to bow, recording the reverberations with a contact microphone attached to the enclosed ladder above my head.

A little reverb was added to give the contact mic recording depth and I’ve included some of the camera audio, so you can hear wind, cicadas and birdsong too.

There’s a bit more discussion on my blog, cheers.

Hello and best wishes for 2017. Hopefully I didn’t understand this challenge better than previously, believed this was a common work and now think I’ll be invited to grow on my own output. Well! I’m born in a time of orchestral music and don’t feel too close to this new world of solitary sounds. At what precise moment do average people orgasm has never been clear to me. But I did try to make the best part of this one-note concept, moving toguether with my sound. Isn’t this the way people make love any longer?

Merry christmas to everybody,
I played three notes on my cello (pizzicato), I tried some variations in tempo, loudness and touch. Finally I added convolution reverb to get a lot of space. All recorded through Ableton.

Year End Fade(disquiet0260)
This prompt left me wishing the family piano was still around, so instead I grabbed amp, guitar, pedal and made some noise with proper sustain. I used the iPad mic in music memos placed about 1 foot from the Crate amp, stomped the chorus and played a E minor until tone was almost gone to amp buzz. The crackling isn’t hot signal, just a little cabinet noise. And just for fun I added a little piece of door ajar reminder at the end as it had the perfect tone fade and appeared to me minutes after reading this weeks email…serendipity?! Happy Holidays till the new year!
