I have isolated my stems from previous contributions:

Solitary_Ensemble_x2 : which came from @Sam_Knot’s original solo ensemble

Solitary_Ensemble_x3 : Which came from @mzero and @banabila x2 ensemble. When exporting my stem I used my Timefactor delay pedal again - but hadn’t saved a preset from when I originally rendered it, so its probably very slightly different to the original.

Disquiet Junto Project 0430: Solitary Ensembles x 2

The original Solitary Ensemble remains downloadable from my soundcloud.

Now to find something to remix… looking forward to it :slight_smile:

I hope I got all the credits right below. I had trouble finding separate versions of each of the three parts. In the end, I used Ohm Research’s final mix as my starting point. I didn’t change it at all except for the track volume in places. I added Richard Burton reading some Shakespeare. I added an Uneven Two Beat delay effect to Richard Burton in some places. I also added a Vinyl Siren drone on B-flat to hold things together. Finally, I used the MAX Celluloid Mystery effect on the whole thing. It was all done in Ableton Live.

All in all, it was an exhausting but rewarding experience. I chose my starting track at random. It’s in a completely different style than what I usually work on, so it took me a while to figure out how to add my style and thoughts without changing the original track’s character. I hope I succeeded in that.

I rolled the 83-sided dice of probability and landed on 23, cue: ušće’s (Disquiet0431)Trio With Krakenkraft / Matthew Thomas Davis. A nice, rich slab of ambience.

I thought about ways I could potentially remix this. It had been a while since I’d last undertaken anything resembling a remix. I decided to employ my oft-ignored Ableton Live and chop up the original track into a repeating motif and subsume some rhythmic elements into it.

As a result, it’s more densely packed than my usual offerings. The overall rendering of the track (lots of compression and sidechaining) coaxed out some interesting textures and artefacts from the original track.

Hey, is @banabila around? Do ye happen to have a solo of your contribution x3 w/mdh&supple.be? I might try to have a fiddle with it regardless, but might give me more options if you do… just love them vibes.

I’ve uploaded the solo vox from my contribution should anyone want it: https://soundcloud.com/sam-knot-poet/hi-again-only_stem -further info about where i got/what i did with other stems at link.

Hi all, I’ve added a link to my isolated synth chords in the comments section of our Solitary Ensembles trio here:

I’ve made it private so it doesn’t show up in my tracks, but hopefully with the link anyone can still download it. Cheers!

Well, this is a kind of half-remix/half-part-4 maybe? I just did what I felt like doing with what I had available at the time - thanks tho @banabila, I dowloaded your track just now & might revisit this project down the line - anyways probably for the best as otherwise I’d likely still be fiddling now & most of tomorrow & I got other bits I should be doing this weekend. So basically first thing this morning I played Banabila’s track, which I had earmarked for maybe working with, and improvised some words/tune over the top, which became the refrain - I also used those raw recordings from my phone to bookend the piece (inc. letting a hornet out the window at the end) - and then I wrote a quick couple of passages in the mode of a weird dad & daughter chatting, which is sort of the warm pleasant wonky vibe I got from the tune - and when I came to perform that, which I only did once this time (trying not to worry/think too much), I did so at 2/3rd speed because the track said “Tempo 83bpm” & I was at 120 - anyway I very nearly left the whole thing slow like that, as I kind of enjoyed it, but maybe it was just a little too weird, and long, so now it’s back to x1.

Well, I’ve really enjoyed every stage of this, and I’m very pleased to have found this fun little corner of tinternet. Thank you all, all the best, xx

hey All, Hope all are safe and well. I will have to say the tracks that have been submitted the last few weeks were excellent. Everybody really brought something to the collaborations and I was surprised how well people worked off the other tracks. So shout outs to all for jobs well done. I chose esse quio’s track ©disquiet0431 (calmnesia X How The Night Came) cause I really liked the vocal and wanted to work with that. I will probably do a few more but wanted to go ahead and post.

Peace, Hugh

I chose Calmnesia´s track disquiet0431 who added a very cool percussion track to the track of Daniel Diaz´ ebowed guitar-solo over Jet´s track, I added a bass and an e-piano, a drum-track and some guitar-chords plus some ambience

For this project I particularly wanted to use a track which had vocals in it. I have a great fondness for the eccojams Oneohotrix Point Never did under an earlier pseudonym - to take fragments of well known music, particularly bits with vocals he found that emphasised a deep desire or longing and drown them in echo and reverb and then looping them for a good few minutes creating a very washed out kind of sound. I quite often find I like these reworks more than the original songs.
So, my entry this week is inspired by that kind of approach.

I used the collaboration between @howthenightcame @calmnesia and Essie Quoi (for some reason I can’t find you on here Essie - I’m sorry, I’ll have a better look when I get a chance and tag you!). Which had all of the elements I wanted to make my own eco-esque-jam. I deliberately didn’t look for or wait for any individual stems, preferring to EQ the various different tracks.

I’ve recently picked up a LaunchControl XL for mixing in Ableton - but really didn’t dedicate any time to really figuring out how to use it besides occasionally turning a panning knob. This project presented a great opportunity to dive a little deeper with it :slight_smile: So here I’m mostly just making a few passes and messing with effects and volume while in record mode.

At this point I have to confess I’m a bit lost. It’s not a bad thing, but I’m not 100% sure who I’m collaborating with. The sense of randomness is appealing.

Hey all!

I used random selection to land on the submission by @name_constant who made use of previous submissions by @chaonaut and @melondruie

Well done to all 3 for making a quality track, great restraint in the previous collaborations.

Here’s what I did to it:

I mainly used already perfect [stem] nightwalkers from @theatlasroom and the Waves from @zoundsabar plus some 707 drums from @bassling (which btw teached me how to calculate the speed factor for a new drum samples to match an existing bpm) and some electricity from myself.

I started with the Nightwalker Stem and added a lot of other things. Nothing seemed to fit. So I reduced the Nightwalker Stem to something more minimalistic by repeating some moments. Again I added a lot of other things – and nothing seemed to fit. I threw away nearly everything and so it became what it is. I needed a lot of time to like it … hope you like it, too, and that the sound donors can recognize some of your original sounds …

Because I always try to never look at the new discussion before contributing to it, I felt a little bit lost in clicking thru the old playlist and looking for notes for existing stems. Maybe next time we should maintain some kind of central page or just start a new topic for collecting the stems?
