Agreed and this looks like it was a blast! I wish I was better at filming myself get down. I love watching!

The intro reminds me of Bone Thugs n Harmony Thuggish Ruggish Bone, I had to go listen to it. Nice work.

Thanks, just looking at your visuals now. I wish I had a newer computer to think about doing that sort of processing.

The flow chart is also a beaut way to detail your process. I should develop something like that to explain my effects rig.

Hi :slight_smile:

I tried to create something never ending - almost living - through feedback and routing, and then set about cutting it up with live control over some interesting tonal shapers. It didn’t really work out like that and this tune kind of emerged, so I just went with that and developed it some more.

Hi,

Here is my contributions to sound torture.
This is a first take of a new jam. Raw & clumsy.

Enjoy,

Had a lot of fun with this one. Somehow it coincided with me installing two great plugins.

  1. Stream (beta) Delta SoundLabs vst - really fun granular realtime fx. Sound goes in and knobs move it around, or lfo or random… https://www.deltasoundlabs.com

  2. Samsara - MaxforLive device by Dillon Bastan https://isotonikstudios.com/product/samsara-customized-granular-looping/ very similar but a bit different to work with - quite deep but didn’t interface the way I wanted it to… this one will take a bit more time.

So same pattern I have been using… Short cut of melody on acoustic guitar - cut with phrases in 4 parts.
Many passes doing live interaction with the granular devices. Good stuff got saved and viola. (bit of new Kemper electric stuff since I couldn’t resist.)Nothing but guitar, processed.

Had a great time and can’t wait to just listen to the whole list of tracks tomorrow.

thanks!! ^___^ love your track too – I see what you mean about the jarring/discordant yet rooted in something organic – great variety of sounds! – and layered over a dense drone, great stuff!

Thanks! The reflection that’s part of the Junto directions is excellent for learning new techniques and approaches. I know it’s provided a lot of inspiration for me.

I appreciate your encouragement to self-sample too. The self-consciousness that comes with hearing one’s own voice can be difficult to overcome.

Listening to your piece now and I like what you’ve done with the material, which is also a great find. Some nice sounds there to sample. Cheers!

I recorded this for this weeks prompt, but after recording it I realized what I did didn’t really fit the description well. It could have, but it didn’t. I still think it’s nice though so I’ll post it in case anyone wants to listen.

This was made with a custom grid + arc program I created, and it’s essentially just the loop you hear at the beginning constantly rerecorded and pitch shifted.

thank you! I actually did sample that famous Gymnopedie #1 Satie piece, played by Hubert Laws and company on Then There Was Light.

Like otolythe, I think this is a great piece. But, until I read read your description Andrew, I thought that you were working with “Old Friends” by Simon and Garfunkel. I haven’t heard that song in years, so I hope my memory isn’t playing up that badly!!

Very similar @howthenightcame! If I can get a good copy of that song I’ll use it next time!

By the way this video, like almost every time I hear just the two of them, is unreal.

It’s similar, right?! I always think Simon and Garfunkel are popular but underrated, if that makes sense…
