Being there at the time was fun. I bought tons of stuff when no one wanted it any more.
The Moog is in pretty good shape all things considered, but it does need a serious service job. I’m looking into getting it down to Moog in Ashville.

This is such a damn cool piece. Would create a great moment in a film.

Disassembling (disquiet0377)
I know I should have used something algorithmic, like VCV Rack, but it’s Sunday night and time was getting short. It is also quite a pain to notate in iOS, so I thought I’d use Logic for a change.
Spanish was the chosen scale with F, G, G#, A#, C, C#, E and F, and although this was chosen with the intent of ascending and descending the scale, I changed it up as things progressed. A two bar eight note melody began with A#2, G2, C3, G#2, C3, A#2, G#2 and G2. The prompt instructions were continued as suggested but then something bad happened :open_mouth: The more I played and the more I organized notes, the more this piece killed the original intent of the prompt. But rest assured dear reader, the piece only contains those original eight notes and they are more or less in some semblance of sound.
Logic has so many great instruments sometimes it’s hard to choose and I ended up with more instruments than usual. Sculpture provided scatter, reflective, plastic, glass, air and water sounds. Alchemy provided odd, dark and deep bass sounds. Bit of volume automation and Chroma verb are the only additions in the mix.

This is really nice - and an interesting rhythmic take on the prompt. What is the instrument(s)? Sounds like some form of physical model to me…

each note in the scale is 7% higher frequency than the previous note

generated sine wave in audacity
messed with phasing/distortion/stereo by applying paulstretch time resolution, created my notes
followed the steps, got a bit lost as its hard to sequence in audacity, for the 3rd set of notes i just pitch shifted by 70%

Haha that’s exactly how I felt but glad we both pushed through it. Nice work!

Thank you. Good ear(s) by the way. It is a Mutable Instruments Rings running through Mutable Instruments Clouds.

I’ve been really sick this weekend, but wanted to contribute anyways.

I first tried to create a track out of some sound recordings I had, but that didn’t work out so well. So I re-did the project with eight notes and then substituted as directed. From there I shuffled things around and built it into a track. You can hear the original four notes and the first variation at the beginning. The only thing left from my sound recordings are the crickets and the beginning and the rain at the end. :slight_smile:

Enjoy!

I was a tad confused by the directions. It says to re-do the algorithm with two notes. But I can’t use notes that are unused in the second iteration, because all notes are already used when you add the two melodies together. So I tried adding different diads, then triads, then 4 note chords, making sure when replacing chords to use ones never used before. I ended up making them semi-arpegiated chords and squeezed all the notes for each note in the melody in the time frame it already took up.

After that I hooked the whole thing up to my modular system and added some extra noise.

This project was done on stream: Check out the videos:

• Key: G is the root note BPM: 114 Time signature: 4/4 DAW: Reaper
• Instruments:
• Plug-ins:
• Started with this internet page:
http://adam.younglogic.com/2011/11/eight-tone-scales/
• I then used random.org to choose one of the 43 scales
• The answer was #27
• H HHH WWH 3
• Then I used random to choose the key, BPM and time signature
• This is the scale that was used: G G# A Bb B C# Eb E G
• Created the melodies in Musescore and imported them into Reaper as midi files.
• Copied the original melodies several times
• Generated new melodies in with Reaper with an action called: Rob U Midi Ex Machina lua which is a script for Reaper
• Added drums

I drove from Louisville, Kentucky back to New York City today. The Disquiet 0377 playlist was my road trip music for the day. I want to say that it was all very enjoyable and thought provoking. Thanks to each of you for making my drive much better.

No WiFi last night, so a bit behind the upload…
This was my third attempt…
Took me a while to get my head around the process…

All melody and notes chosen by random, chance.
Two sequences, original ‘altered’ is joined by the root melody, slightly arpeggiated, creating a melodic, rhythmic element, drums added via two drum machines/sequencers and a drum synth/sequencer.

Thanks for listening folks!

Edit:
Feeling a lot happier now I know I wasn’t alone struggling with t(e process, I think I skipped a line… maybe the arpegiated/grainy sequence made up for this… I love the flexibility of these projects…
Well done to everyone who took part!
