The GG video is awesome, thanks for that. And it sparked a very good track from you, on of my favourites, bravo! Yo did a great use of arpeggiators and delays and all.

Great track and I love the video. The side profile of you drumming looks like you are doing the funky chicken. Very cool.

Like others above, I started by transcribing an arpeggio from a favorite track and then wrote my own line to accompany it. After shifting the tempo and processing/re-processing many times, this track emerged.

I thought 4 Non Blondes’ 'What’s Up" was rather boring, but without the help of my fellow bandmates I’m not going to make it a lot more exciting.

This track has grown out of a deep diving into a Roland EF 303 effect processor that is also a monophonic synth (TB303 clone). All effects and the start bass line come from the EF 303. This bassline has a 3/4 meter while the second bassline from the Doepfer MS 404 is 4/4. Nice polymetrics. Bitonality also when some bass playing and guitar is added.
For the disquiet junto project I have choosen an old Solomon Burke song that I´ve learned from The Pretty Things: “Cry to me” The Pretty things version impressed me most.
RIP Phil May.

Quite an inspiring prompt. I wanted to use music from a band that you can’t possibly hear streaming these days, only when you have the original record. Blanketing and hiding that had something about it. Compressor, gates and filters, with lots of sidechaining.

A song I was taught to play on the guitar, when I was at high school, from a local band going places. I played the guitar part against the original recording and recorded the MIDI. My guitar playing is rusty at best. I tidied up the MIDI a little (not, perhaps, in the spirit of the prompt) then played it through three VSTs. I then proceeded to blanket the result with echoes, reverbs, gates and finally, deciding the original was still quite recognisable, reversed the MIDI and Paulstretched it to twice its length.

I doodled whatever came to mind on top of an existing piece, and then removed the original except for the last note. I’ve recently been getting back into hardware looping, including messing with piano tuning, and that was the inspiration (and some of the added samples).

The original is here.

This is a traditional folk tune. I played along with the Carter Family recording. It has that fast swagger that a lot of those arrangements do. It always seemed to me that this kinda song is a lot sadder than the recording lets on. I played a Jazzmaster and a te op-1 straight into my recorder. I used a few plug ins and pruned a few stray notes.

An aside for anyone interested in this early recorded American music, I was going to work on Fatal Flower Garden from that Harry Smith box. I remembered the song vaguely but fondly. I dusted it off and I played along to it, but I stopped cold when I realized how much disgusting gypsy hatred is there. It’s weird how our memories can skip over the abominable message in a song.

the low end here is so satisfying, like being immersed in a warm jacuzzi of vibration :+1:

your track carries this deep darkness well, i like how it kept it real and present for me, but still maintained a ghostly distance at the same time.

Playing my Casio MT-205 through an EQD Dispatch Master -> Boss PN2 -> Dano Back Talk -> EHX Deluxe MM -> 1973 Fender Bassman Ten Combo to a favorite track off a new album I recently purchased. Midwest band.

I was playing “King Kong Kitchie Kitchie Kie Me O” off that same collection the other night and my wife said, “is this one of those songs that’s about a frog and a mouse but when you really listen to the words they’re actually horrible?” at the time I hadn’t looked up the lyrics, but yes, in fact the frog wastes the mouse’s three other suitors and they live in triumph(?). guess I’ll just stick to Sam Hinton folkways version.
