The roll of the dice selected the wonderful disorientation of Forelight’s Dronebase 1 as the basis of this piece. My addition was recorded with my small 3U analog modular.

I added some textures to First Chair by encym III (https://soundcloud.com/encymlll/first-chair-by-encym-disquiet0315), which I used as either a melody or a series of harmonies – left it open. Textures came from various field recordings: potato peelers, a ferry, a commuter rail escalator, and a tiny snippet of an orchestra tuning up, plus a NASA recording from Cassini, which I took down in speed and pitch. For my part in this 2/3 of a trio I was intending to add rhythm and patterns mostly, but I think there were some happy accidents with tones too.

used ohm research - sinestre https://soundcloud.com/ohm-research/sinestre-disquiet-0315

initially i thought i’d use mindless mzk’s track but it wasn’t downloadable so rolled the dice. glad i got this track

i used a djembe and had this through a lot of fx. i thought that would sound good with my initial selection but then used it randomly anyway even though i knew it’d be too rhythmic
doesnt quite go but i wander if anything can be done to bring it all together…

slightly embaressed that its 5 months since I last took part in a junto. I added a complimetary part to halF collaboratioN [disquiet0315]. Used a sidechained expander to replicate the random rhythm.them mixed down my high low squall to off set it from the original a little…Instrument of choice was the 0coast.
full on noise- probably havent left enough space for the soloist on top…unless they are loud.

Oh man, this is beautiful. Your guitar has more presence than my synth, which now has taken on more of a background role, and the result is creamy goodness.

Here’s my addition: https://soundcloud.com/plusch/moving-chairs-plus-one-disquiet0316

I was intrigued by La Cosa Preziosa’s track “Moving Chairs” (https://soundcloud.com/lacosapreziosa/moving-chairs), so in Bitwig Studio, I added sounds made with a custom Kaivo patch, with various parameters modulated by a sidechain of the original track. Unfiltered Audio’s Dent and Zip were used for grit and texture, ValhallaRoom for reverb, and Audacity for final trims and normalization.

NON SUBMISSION I partnered with widdly and his peppy number Left Channel Western Swing. Played the drums live on keyboard, then did a live cross fading adding some spice to the snare. The shaker was a loop to keep me on beat. I had some fun on this. Thanks widdly.

NON SUBMISSION Hey All, The insomnia that Larry spoke of is something I can relate to. I remember a stretch where I could only sleep a few hours a night and would wake in a panic, unable to really get back to sleep. I can sleep now but I sympathize with anyone going through it.

Peace, Hugh

Gutted that I was away last week so couldn’t record my own First Chair. Took up second chair for @photofractal this week though (the second person to do so it seems)

Kept my addition pretty minimal so hopefully there should be enough space for a third part.

this is the second of a three part asynchronous collaboration sequence. I chose to add a second part to FJNA’s “Links” that he posted last week. I used a couple of random pattern generators and two simple synths in SuperCollider to create a complimentary part. I also added a faint sound of Cicada’s in the background because I felt it fit nicely. I liked the dynamics of the original so I used that as my guide as I messed around a bit. There is a heavy compression on the right channel which I quite like what it did to the sound of simple computer generated sine tones. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy! Thanks FJNA for the inspiration!

NON SUBMISSION Hey All. I used Synth Avesta rousing “Solo Solina”. He was analog I guess so I feed a mid conversion into my analog DW 8000 with an arp fx and played little trills on it and tried the close theme and liked how it fit.I don’t know why it glitches when it does but i kinda like it. Also the mashed potatoes scene it the best part of that movie.

I chose “Empty Aerie” by Force Damage

Process:

Mangrove > Three Sisters > Rings > Morphagene > ES Blackhole > Clouds

Recorded to cassette. The volume and frequency automation in Ableton is driven by an envelope follower that is following the left channel.

In a C diminished scale:

C, D, Eb, F, Gb, Ab, A, B

I chose @nosollution’s entry, which was really nicely structured to improvise alongside with another melodic part. For the right channel addition I recorded Ableton synth then re-processed it through a “spectral spreader” multi-delay effect in WebAudio.

This track is an “asynchronous collaboration” with encym III @encym His was literally the last Disquiet0315 track I listened to, but it was also the one that really grabbed me, so I decided to trust my gut and choose this one for collaboration.

I wanted to treat this like a classical piece, analyze the notes and intervals, etc., and build on it, but time was tight this weekend. I made an attempt to convert the audio to MIDI and dump it into a notation program, but that didn’t work…finally I ended up resolving to do three takes of improv over the track. I did two takes, and then for the third take I decided I pretty much knew what I wanted to happen, so I played just those phrases on the piano. This felt much more deliberate and constructed. I moved them around a little bit on the timeline so that sometimes they answered the guitar, sometimes the guitar answered them.

The germ of my original idea survived, in that I transposed all of the phrases up a fifth, just at the end of the track. This gives an A dorian in the piano over D dorian in the guitar, which is a nice effect and makes us feel like we have gone somewhere new.

In terms of sound design, I used Ableton’s “Grand Piano” plug-in (no time to get to a real piano), lengthened the attack time, and then tried to add some grit so it would match the guitar, using AudioDamage’s Fuzz plugin and iZotope’s Vinyl.

Towards the end, the piano delves into the world of delay and echo, to mimic the guitar.

The name is a winky reference to the instrumentation (twangy guitar and piano) and the harmony that emerged (parallel modes on different starting notes).
