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 Abletonā€™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, Iā€™ll provide you with an award :wink:

Havenā€™t done a disquiet in ages. My usual load of old noises, delivered just under the wireā€¦

I NEVER HEARD A SINE WAVE BELOW 100hz THAT I DIDNā€™T LOVE

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

I tinkered, i played. Iā€™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 theyā€™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; iā€™m enamoured of the fizz and throbā€¦

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 ĀÆ_(惄)_/ĀÆ ; 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 Abletonā€™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 youā€™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 didnā€™t have much time, I set up two semi-generative sequences with sine waves.

So many contributors! Iā€™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 hereā€¦

Audiomulch, KorgNANOKONTROL for the basic sine sounds. Vinyl static from several real (and emulated) sourcesā€¦

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 backā€¦

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 thatā€™s an 11 note subset of 23-EDO.
I used a lot of randomization within Numerology ā€“ 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 Iā€™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 grandfatherā€™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 ā€¦

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