A track containing only sine waves and turntable surface noise (from [https://freesound.org/people/lollosound/sounds/387005/]), that quite was a challenge.

I pitched, rearranged and chopped up the turntable sound to get a rhythmic track.

All the sines are coming from Ableton’s Operator. To get some musical variation, I used plain vanilla, 8-bit and 4-bit sine waves plus a bunch of effects.

Btw, if you can whistle the tune in its original tempo, I’ll provide you with an award :wink:

Haven’t done a disquiet in ages. My usual load of old noises, delivered just under the wire…

I NEVER HEARD A SINE WAVE BELOW 100hz THAT I DIDN’T LOVE

MY RELATIONSHIP WITH SURFACE NOISE IS AMBIVALENT BUT ALSO CHARACTERISED BY DEEP AFFECTION

I tinkered, i played. I’d hoped to record fresh crackle but my turntable remains boxed-up & unconnected so i went scrounging around for recordings of run-out grooves; came up with one from 2012 that pleased & suggested some sort of rhythmic usage.

I scrolled the Herzes, looking for one that pleased - settled on 326 & certain divisions of same. I filtered them so they’d kind of waver, hover, around their true frequencies.

I then made to sort of have them - the crackle, the * rhythm *, the sine/drones - sorta argue sorta dance, sorta * exist * in something like the same spacetime; i’m enamoured of the fizz and throb…

I considered the sort of music that might be conducive as partially-heard, partially-background music for an art event but came up with little more than ¯_(ツ)_/¯ ; so hear we are.

The process I utilized was creating multiple SIN waves at various tempos, pitches and with different oscillation chains. I then utilized high pass and low pass filters to sculpt the sound. I played with the waves and then bounced out a track and a reversed track. I took these 2 tracks and attempted to scratch, in DJ Pro. I then bounced this out and re-mixed it back in with the original sounds at different speeds.

This is a pretty straight-ahead response to the prompt, but I had limited time (just a few minutes over the weekend and while eating lunch). I used Ableton’s Wavetable for sine sounds. The percussion sounds are all processed vinyl surface noises from freesound.org.

For sound sources I used three sine wave instruments from Ableton and Z3TA, and three vinyl surface recordings from 99sounds, processed with a variety of audio effects. I liked the idea of using rising and falling pitches to emulate sine waves, so you’ll hear that in the melody and siren sounds. The music may be a little more active than requested by the assignment, but every time I tried to scale it back the energy level kept returning. I guess I was in the mood to make hyperactive music this weekend!

Thank you very much Mark! When I was working with the samples it very much felt that way, coaxing that brief moment into a larger picture while trying to maintain the personality of its beginnings :slight_smile:

Finally got some time to work on this. With the turn-table theme I wanted to experiment with 3D sound, if you listen in headphones, it should rotate around you. Because I didn’t have much time, I set up two semi-generative sequences with sine waves.

So many contributors! I’m so late! Anyway, I found some turntable noises on Youtube then fired up an empty project with UA analog synth. I changed all the waves to Sine and then messed about loads eventually struggling to keep to around 4 minutes and ending up with this. Thanks for the great inspiration!

Just under the wire here…

Audiomulch, KorgNANOKONTROL for the basic sine sounds. Vinyl static from several real (and emulated) sources…

the binaural effect is impressive and felt like it moved through the front (mostly) of my skull. Very nice piece too

Thanks! I had a lot of fun experimenting with that. I think I spent most the time on that effect, then tried banging out some melodies, hating it, and settling on the generative sequences. I need to play with the reflections to better figure out how to better differentiate front and back…

Vinyl noise came from a free sample pack (recorded by Matoto/Chia) from 99Sounds.
I created a simple sine wave patch within Zebra, using a scale that’s an 11 note subset of 23-EDO.
I used a lot of randomization within Numerology – for varying the number of repeating notes, amount of transposition, muting of notes, and sample selection.

Phenomenal turnout this week. This is a reminder/request to set your SoundCloud tracks to be downloadable, so they can be used at the event in San Francisco this coming Saturday. Thanks!

Sadly, I blew right past the due date this week (apologies). But I enjoyed the process of recording and putting the piece together, so I thought I’d finish it up and post, despite being way late on the day.

I used a contact mic to capture the record surface noise, on a gem of a find from my grandfather’s old vinyl collection. I also broke out my Casio vz-10m for the sine tones - a synth that has been sitting around my desk, unused and neglected, for awhile now. (More details are in the SoundCloud description.)

It felt good to resurrect a couple of older things, and delve into forgotten details in service of making music this week. This was really a fun one to do.

Two vinyl click samples, two sine-based noises (sine modulated sine waves), a sine bass and a sine theme. Maybe a little too conventional …

Obviously too late to be a serious contribution to disquiet0326, but disquiet gave the inspiration - which I’m thankful for.
