Lovely textures. The sense of moving through an unseen space.

@Zedkah

Underpass dub is so evocative. The tempo is fast but I could imagine a bassline would fit in here.

@Ben_Levisohn

I can picture this as a highway. The stereo effect gives a sense of that.

Such a great prompt, and one that can keep you going. Was working on a series of vignettes of Japan and here is one of the versions for Tokyo. Combination of classic, almost rural sounds (but artificially generated) and electronic.

Real-time recording created in Pure Data using twelve-note chromatic scales.

Thanks Jason, I think there are 3 drum loops placed on the stereo field, complementing each other. This is the sort of mash-up impossible to make in the analogue years, I brought everything to the tapping bass tempo, stretching, manipulating, quantizing. It was like working with midi, very funny.
Thanks for you words and listening.

Nice sense that there’s another surprise waiting around the corner.

Giving feedback is part of the assignment, so let me try;

@ DeDe: Love the bandoneon and how it links Argentina and Germany.

@ euclidean: Metallic sound. Would like to know more about the creation process.

@ sevenism: I had to resist checking all the references and to concentrate on the music. Reminds me of a traing moving by in slow motion - upwards.

@ Glitcher: The Glockenspiel is so gentle. Thank you.

@ mdh: Checked my Ditto Looper. There is a reverse knob there too. Makes me thinking… I do not remember what is in the pedal memory. Need check.

@ krakenkraft: Loved the deep bass sound to start with. There can be cows in Garching!

@ SussMusik: I was wondering where the piano went after 1:20. Only to see it reappearing as violins after 3:00. So nice!

@ bassling: Enjoyed that bicycle ride and spending time outside is a big plus.

@ gis_sweden: I can feel the calmness.

@ architecturalstudies: Elaborating on cyclic nature on graph paper made me thinking. Thanks a lot for the piece.

@ fakeg3nius: This evoked memories of an old children song or melody inside me.

@ ray_cobley Full of nice surprises.

Thank you for the warm welcome in the Junto.

Sounds like a lost YMO track. Really nice.

I think the playlist is up to date, but if your track goes missing, lemme know. Thanks, everyone.

Thank you! I just outlined a basic grid of 16 with markers for each 1/4 note beat, and then wrote out each sequenced line with dashes to represent each note. Longer slashes (that go across two boxes) indicate a note tie. It makes it a little easier to keep track of what you’re entering when doing manual step sequencing.

My interpretation of the sound of Seattle. Rain, wind, grey clouds, sadness, and a bit of sun and warmth towards the end.

Used a sample of rain, stuck it in the background and used it to create some windy drone textures. Rest is just me improvising some guitar things and a looped sample run through some effects and smeared around a bit with processing.

Hello, here is my contribution:

maybe a little too literally the sounds of the city, but maybe still interesting.
The process: I combined a few of my field recordings that I collected over the past decade. In Berlin, you inevitably spend a lot of time in public transportation, so these sounds are prominent. But you may also hear some birds or the noises of crowd watching Fußball or something. + Elevator, Door, storm and acoustic traffic lights

Hey All, I went with Berlin as I would love to visit that city someday. I live in a small city so when I visit a big city it is always like another world. NYC is my favorite city I have visited but I wanted to use my imagination for Berlin and of course got a strong techno vibe for Berlin. Hope all are well.

Peace, Hugh
Damn name constant you beat me to the punch.

Last year on a visit to Cairo I walked into a market and heard a catchy tune being played on a boombox. A young man (pictured in foreground) danced while a hawker (in background) exhorted passersby. For this assignment I chopped the audio and added a few musical elements.

The city of Lone Oak, KY was dissolved in November 2008. This was my impression when I traveled there. I was running sound for a choir in the early 2000s, and we stayed in some interesting places in Paducah. Our driver also hit a turkey at such a high speed that it came through the window, flopping, bleeding. It was fucking terrifying. It’s interesting to me that this place voted to dissolve. It speaks to the economics of blue-collar areas that have lost the prospect of industry. As for the recording, I’m reading from some dense notes I wrote about the Bible around that same time in my life. I used a copperphone mic, sm57, steel guitar, mandolin, banjo, tambourine.
