mmm…no it can’t be that easy. “anybody” rolling dice has a chance of 1 in 68 to get “any number”.
But one specific guy out of 68, rolling his own specific number out of 68?
No it has to be more. Like Dylan said:

Uh, it’s either 136 or 142

Using @Joule submission from last week titled KAJ. I was hooked by the idea of a storm building so I tried to go with it by adding some atmospheric textures to the original guitar work. Hopefully I did it justice.

I took the first three notes, stretched them the length of the track, filtered off the higher frequencies to create a bass drone as an anchor. I then worked with various glitchy synth samples with lots of effects and filtering and stretching to create some atmospheric textured drones. Panned all my additions to right channel and panned the original to the left.

@chaonaut Very nice. The title matches the visual in my brain when listening to it, many little insects feasting on my body. As you said, I tend to make things quite dark.

Ah, gotcha. I’ll put numbers in parenthesis when people say that they are going to do one, and remove the number when it is done.

Very thoughtful approach. So effective when you can’t tell what came first.

This is from #5 from Ethan Hein from last week. it is slightly shortened. I thought instantly to do the blues, but it seemed to easy. So I thought what’s a piece from Ethan Hein without hip-hop drum beats. I pulled up his google sheet from youtube and programmed some various beats using Renoise as a tracker for simpler in VCV rack. Also using Plateau for light verb. I hope you enjoy I had tons of fun as I have been away for a while.

Decided to go with a piece made by @Sam_Knot because I found it to be quite strange and haunting.

I had originally wanted to add drums to a track, but I think thats for the centre panned project :wink: So I thought about what I’d been struggling with in terms of music recently. And that is melodies, I’ve had some good drum patterns and chord progressions / pads going on, but any melodies I try to layer on top sound way too child toy keyboard like and I can’t help turn it into a directionless progression.

So, here I tried to play a very very simple and slightly disturbing melody. I’ve been quite into hauntology music recently and particular the ghost box label. And I wanted to try to capture this kind of muddy and murky atmosphere. Added some breath sounds I found on my digitakt. Sometimes they kind of chop a bit - which I’m not sure comes from the samples cutting eachother off, or its just some weird latency from my computer (which I’ve been getting a lot of recently) but I decided to leave it there anyway as an artefact of the recording

Edit 11/04: I have linked the stem of my contribution in the Junto 0432 thread

Darn, I wish I had thought about that. I smell a mono mix in the future. I will have to give another one a go.

Thanks for the great second part. I really like what you did here. I think it sets very well for an interesting third track.

Remix (0432)

For anyone who wants to remix this track, my part is here.

The left channel is “Solitary Ensembles (disquiet0429” by @RPLKTR .

I added a simple drum part:

  1. Tapped out a simple bass drum beat on a MIDI keyboard.
  2. Used Magenta Groove to enhance my drum part.
  3. Added Dotted Quarter Note Clean Delay effect to the drum track.

Here is my contribution. I used track #8 (Winter Never Came) as my source.

My random number generator chose 26 (3rd roll because the prior 2 were already taken) so I’m starting on that one. If I have time I’ll take another pick tomorrow if I have time.

This is based on number 26 by @modus_pony Chewed Tongue. I managed to meet the guidelines better this time. In particular the version linked above is mixed but it includes a private link to a version with the two parts panned left and right.

I spent some time experimenting with some chord progressions, melodies and rhythmic elements but I didn’t really hit on anything I was very happy with. In the end I decided it would sit nicely alongside a drone. Drones aren’t something I’m very familiar with making but I put one together then recorded some slow automations of various parameters to keep things moving. Overall I think it was fairly successful.

In this case the only addition was the drone patch I made on Peak (minimal effects beyond the Peaks reverb). I did some light EQ on both parts and also a little compression on the original. The movement in the drone was more down to the 8 mod slot entires I added (plus normaled routings) using the LFOs and looping envelopes (peak has 3 EG per voice, 2 LFO per voice and 2 global LFO so I had 42 cyclic modulation sources in play). It was fun to put together.

All in all I’m quite happy with the result and I’m looking forward to (hopefully) making a 3rd entry tomorrow.
