many thanks to marc and c.reider for organizing this project.

i heard something like a jazz rhythm in the opening thirty seconds of track 2. i used ableton to convert the sample to a drum beat and accompanying keyboard harmony, then played a guitar solo which i doubled up and pitch shifted. have a great weekend everyone…

I worked only with the first track from the album. In keeping with the spirit of the “free tools” theme, I decided to rework some samples from the track using Micah Frank’s free Grainstation-C software (a thread on that nifty software is here). It’s effectively a microlooper so my samples from Reider’s album (I used four in total) are very small–each only about 2 seconds–but no outside sounds are added. I did end up arranging some excerpts from the Grainstation session in a (commercial) DAW, but the only plugin or effect I used was the free version of the TDR Nova (a robust EQ plugin). Thanks to C. Reider for his generosity of spirit~

I took the opposite approach with c’s music, in that I added rhythm… he usually doesn’t do that. I took a section from the album version of Cloud #4 and added some of usual synth stuff.

I took a sample from Cloud 1 and used it for percussion, then had fun with some stabs and animoog:

I was excited to see this project pop up, this album is ripe for a full junto treatment.

I used the same procedural system for this one that I’ve used for other recent juntos. I’ve been working on another project for a while so the system itself hasn’t changed at all since the last junto I used it for. This time I just fed everything available (all the stems and all the tracks from the album) into the thing, set a seed – 56711140 arrived at by rolling my seed dice :slight_smile: – and asked it to generate about an hour of output. Otherwise, this is just untouched, raw output from the system.

I was interested to see – since some of the processes in the system are proportional based on the overall length, and that trickles down somewhat into other decisions as well – what a fairly long render would sound like. Before this I’ve only done renders between a few minutes and about 20 minutes in length.

Also I just wanted to hear what would happen when Chris’ album took over the system – there’s such a variety of timbre in it!

Remix of cloud 3 from C. Reider’s a trustable cloud album. Experimenting with half-speed and distressed tape effects.

All sounds were taken from cloud 3 but some were augmented with resonators.

Enjoyed remixing. Used Ableton and a spoon…

Sampled two segments from 2&3 and merged. Used Tardigrain and my horn. Been watching protests from XR and think it’s affected my mood tonight!

Definitely past the deadline, so no worries if this is fully disqualified.

I enjoyed the album so much and I’ve been watching from afar for many years, and since I have wanted to reengage with music, this seemed like the perfect opportunity.

No problem. There’s always some wiggle room.
