done 58 juntos in a row - over a year - can’t quite believe it

used a random arpeggio line, looped that
then re-recorded it live while muting at various points

another couple of random arpeggios stretched and blurred . thought about having it more structured so it still has shape without the hidden rhythm but i liked it meandering.

The melody is an electric guitar sample sequenced in the iPad app Patterning, running through the Crystalline and Quatromod effects. I muted notes randomly as Patterning played in real time, with the complete melody intact at the beginning and end of the piece.

Hey all, sure missed missed this place…

The Struggle of Off(disquiet0319)
It’s been too long. Offline, off in the distance, off beat…just off in too many ways. This weeks piece follows the spirit of the prompt, if not the order, and is taken from a longer single take on Bram Bos Ripplemaker. A nice beginners start for us who are modular synth challenged. A pattern was set in the sequencer and while running, notes were removed and reintroduced while tweaking as many perimeters as feeble hands and mind could manage. Ripplemaker and AUM Space were running inside Audiobus and the resulting recording was exported to Cubasis. Two endings of the same long audio track, one being shifted a second ahead, were made into tracks. The first as recorded. The second “ghost” track has a light filter and hard pan left. The third track is the beginning section of the longer piece, layered between the others, adding a little chaos to the mix. The dueling delays of the modular patch and the track shift seemed to complement, in some sort of weird way. Thanks to all for the messages, listens and likes while I was gone. Very nice to come back to!

Hello all, I used a melody we all know for this one - MIDI version comes courtesy of a very nice guy named Jake (MIDI file can be downloaded here ). This is the first time I’ve tried to animate a MIDI file with the modular! The patch involves 0-Coast for audio, run through Three Sisters. Modulation from Pam’s New Workout, which I picked up earlier today via craigslist. Tiny touches of linear FM from 0-Coast’s random CV, reverb from Live. I also made a little drone with Dixie II to fill in the gaps, also run through the Sisters, also modulated by Pam.

A little bitty melody in two parts, each consisting of 6 notes. Randomly removed one note, then two notes, then three notes. Sent the midi to TB-3 four times to produce variations. Mixed and added some minimal other sounds.

hey ho. long time no see. finally, i had some spare time again and had a go at this week’s junto assignment. turned out a little awkward i fear but hey, it all started great. have a look here:

this is ¶radio hummingbird’s contribution to this week’s disquiet junto with the serial number 0319. in short, the requirement for this contribution was to create a piece consisting of a repeating melody but with individual notes disappearing and re-appearing along the way.

for this track, i utilised my little travel eurorack modular synth kit and not much more. three oscillators have been sequenced by the korg sq-1 whereas one of the oscillators has additionally been fed with a second sequence from my little “penta”. along a heavy abuse and cross-modulation of all my cv-sources in the rack i also used the midiSprout for some extra random cv plus a little cv-modulation top-up from the “kommander”, but that’s about it.
the crackles have been recorded by myself as well keeping it all “hand made”. just a light mastering in live 9 and here we go…

happy listening.

This is mostly just a (failed) teletype coding exercise. I tried to write a script that plays a little melody from the tracker, then randomly removes notes. Didn’t reall work, so in the end I did just use a “fuzzy logic module” and an inverter so that one gate could be used to cancel the other.
It kind of works, though the sounddesign could have used some more work.

A melody is chosen and triggered at a random rhythm. Notes from a sequencer are constantly being removed and brought back while the timbre and the register of the melody is shifted around. For me it is an exploration of the relationship between timbre, register, rhythm and its effect on perceived melodic weight.

This is great. I love how the simplicity of the setting makes the note appearances and disappearances evident. What’s going on in the background? Is it an echo of the main theme?

Variations on a theme done with a Make Noise Rene driving some modules. The Rene made it easy to edit notes on the fly.

Second time around! I made a random eight-notes-melody for one bar in C-major scale. Just drawing notes in Abletons Piano roll. I duplicated the melody multiple times and started muting different notes. After a few rounds I started muting two notes in every bar, after a while three and so forth. I doubled the plucked part with pizzicato strings and then added some string synth playing the whole melody in half-tempo.

As default template in Live I have a 909-beat. So I let it stay and started muting all drums that coincided with muted notes etc.

I had fun!

Hello,

This is my first disquiet junto challenge…
And if someone can explain me how to embed soundcloud in my post that could be cool.

Hey all, this is my first post here, a pretty straightforward dance track with a melody that gradually loses 16th notes until there is only one note left. I played this live on a TR-8, Minilogue, and Volca Keys.

For the melody, I wrote a 1-bar loop on the Volca Keys internal sequencer, then used the active step function to take away one step at a time. This function shortens the length of the loop by 1/16 note every time you remove a step, so you end up with some fun polyrhythms quickly.

To keep everything in sync, I ran MIDI from the TR-8 to the Volca Keys, and a sync cable from the Volca Keys to the Minilogue. There are additional effects on the Volca Keys via a Zoom MS-70CDR pedal, which is synced via tap. A sidechain effect on the Minilogue is timed by the TR-8’s sequencer.

I recorded video as well, but it’s getting pretty late over here so I am going to edit that together later and either reply to this post or edit it in.

Edit: here’s the video!

Thanks a lot! Yes the background is a simple clock-synced delay with the feedback look going through a resonant lowpass flter (Chronoblob > Colour Palette Woof). The cutoff is at ~50% and there’s a bit of resonance.
This way you get some interesting overlays of the played notes.
btw. In the meantime I figured out a better script to do this :slight_smile:

edit: forgot to mention that there is also a bit of jitter in the clock that drives the delay, so you get these slightly detuned delay repetitions.

@headlessacrobat: beautiful haunting mood!

@Justmat love that tapey wobbly sound!

@mzero there’s definitely some interesting rhythms emerging from this process!
