Disquiet Junto Project 0472: Jam Time

[Glitcher]

I found this ambient and sparse piece hiding in my projects folder

A moody, gentle , textural, wander.

As others have done it’s panned hard left except for a broken radio snippet at the end, which of course you may wish to edit out or not. Daw BPM 120.

Hello Junto! Happy New Year to everyone!

I’m bummed that I missed the “ice prompt” but this prompt seems like a lot of fun. Details on the track, but it’s 100bpm in Cmaj. My first recording using 16n to weak params live and it was a lot of fun. Please let me know if there are issues with downloading it. I went into Edit and selected this be allowed.

The name of my track is “Fig Jam” because it is syrupy, thick, and sweet (I also imagine it pairs well with cheese, for those who enjoy such things). I hope someone finds it useful for one of the upcoming prompts.

Yay. Glad to be back after many weeks away (from participation here - I was present at other things real and virtual). This prompt should be good for a re-boot, since it comes with 2 more follow-ups! Exercise that muscle!

This track is made using a new VST set-up that I’m still getting to know: I installed RedTron, a mellotron emulator that plays soundfonts, which means that it doesn’t only need to play the original mellotron samples. So I installed a soudfont editor and created a new “font” using a snippet of Judith playing a single pitch on her viola (through a TC Electronic Flashback set to tape delay, recorded on an old cassette recorder).

And from there, I played a little motif that will (hopefully) leave room for other instruments to join in! This track is in D major plus or minus a few cents. The tempo is loose. Hopefully someone here will feel inspired to have some fun with it!

I went simple and short, in hopes of leaving lots of space for others to work, and to make such contributions relatively painless. I improvised an 8 bar melody, and an 8 bar bassline then let them loop while modulating the filter (and doing cutting the bassline one loop early at the end). The result is fairly straightforward but hopefully easy to work with, in 4/4, E minor, 102BPM.

From a technical perspective, it’s nothing too unusual: the lead is made on my modular using a bit of FM and wave shaping; the bass is the Microfreak using the newly released bass algorithm and unison mode. In addition to the version above you can also get a mono version hard panned left here.

Thanks for another fun project: I look forward to the next iteration and hearing what everyone came up with!

@Glitcher - Wow, that was stellar… it was just a leftover in your projects folder!!! I wish I played stand up double bass to layer over it…

@jasonw22 - that made me smile!

This track was constructed from black metal and skate punk MIDI drum loops and sequenced in Numerology Pro. The instruments used are: AAS Strum GS-2, Klevgränd Pipa and the AnnaLynn Oh multisample from Camel Alchemy Dream Voices, with TAL Reverb-II used as a send effect.

It has been panned hard left to facilitate further collaboration. (I hope it’s not too dense for that.) 120 BPM, in the octatonic scale with notes: C, D, Eb, F, Gb, Ab, A, B.

Over the past weeks I have been hooking up all kinds of things to a Microfreak and then just hitting record whenever I like how it sounds. This is one of the recordings with a Moogerfrooger filter guitar pedal that is slightly offset against a modulating filter on the MF. 130bpm. Panned left.

This is inspired by a patch by Omri Cohen and follows his idea of unsynced loops that I found relieving. For a long time my hesitation with electronic music creation was the idea of proper syncronisation…

• Arpeggiated synth plus FM voice recorded into Lilac Looper in VCV Rack
• C minor scale
• 115 BPM

This is a great learning experience and very different to my previous
contributions to the Junto. I needed to think a lot about the intermediate steps and what I share with you for further collaboration. How many tracks? Are the levels OK? Include
effects or not? 16 or 24bit? How to record stubs? Etc.

Therefore I decided to create something very simple that allowed me to redo it several times until I managed to record something that I can share.

This cinematic piece developed from just exploring the synth Generate, which uses chaotic math for its oscillators. Over the next few weeks, other people will layer their own music on top of it as part of a disquiet junto project.

For collaborators: This is at 100bpm, regular 4/4 time. It’s entirely atonal though, so I can’t give you a scale or chord progression.

glad to be back for another disquiet contribution. and a happy new year to you all.

as per the requirements, a version of below track which is panned hard left can be found for download at the following link: https://we.tl/t-XLZNRGtIEj
i have otherwise chosen to upload the piece un-panned to soundcloud, just to allow a better listening experience when trying to decide whether to use this base track or not.

if you chose to utilise this track for any future disquiet assignment, please feel free to edit the track length according to your requirements. the piece has been arranged in a way which allows for it to be used in any kind of length or format desired by any future collaborators. THERE IS NO NEED TO STICK WITH THE ORIGINAL LENGTH. thank you:)……
i am looking forward as to how this droney base track will be incorporated into other peoples works.

this is ¶radio hummingbird’s contribution to this week’s disquiet junto with the serial number 0472. in short, the requirement for this contribution was to create a piece of music which can be used for a three-fold collaboration by other disquiet contributors in the future.

this is a simple droney base track layer, created entirely by a microphone, looping pedals, delay and echo pedals and some clever (feedback) routing with my mixer and other routing devices. all of this has then been recorded onto cassette tape by a multi tracker.

a daw or computers were only used for a little mastering in ableton live. easy.

this track has two distinctive parts: the first half features crackling and rattling sounds subtly in the background of the drone whereas the second half of the track is solely the drone without any distractions.

please feel free to shorten the track to your needs. it is created in a way which allows for it to be used in any length required.
there is, as requested in the assignment notes, a version of this song available which is panned hard left. a download link for this file can be found in the top section of this post.

please enjoy and listen loud.

edit: and here, as always, a short instagram clip showing a little glimpse of the process:

I’ve been spending a lot of time with Orca recently so figured it was nice to start putting it to use in disquiet projects.
For this I basically just have a repeating slower pattern & an echo pattern playing a melody of randomized notes which then have themselves echoed at different octaves / velocities (though I’m not sure that part was actually working as I imagined in my head originally…)

These are going into Pigments for the pad & Ableton’s collision for the bell-ish stuff. The tempo is at 120 BPM and is mostly panned left.

Look forward to checking everyone’s submissions out, these have been great fun in previous years

I went pretty safe with some minimal synths hanging out in cmaj.
Used a Juno 6 and Prophet-5

Hi there, hope you are all doing well in these difficult times. Concerning difficulty: My piece is some abstract, kind of polyrhythmic thing based on a heavily treated loop from old Casio SK1 processed though my new Hikaru Monos synth and further modified by Ableton Live’s Beat Repeat. This same instruments was used for the chords which happen some time and the first additional track. The more abstract noisy piece is done my running Bast Kastl though Monos again and processing this time with Buffer Shuffler effect. Hope that anyone will get crazy ideas playing to this.

A low-fi sample playback with some slow lfo modulation.

[morgulbee]

An undercurrent of sci-fi industrial sound. The “heartbeat” is a D pitch that repeats 16 times, then 16 beats on F, then back to D, repeat until done. Should be plenty of space for someone to add melody, chords, drums, or just more sci-fi effects.

Made on a modular synth using three oscillators processed through Arbhar (granulator) and Desmodus Versio (reverb), along with some sci-fi samples on Bitbox Micro.

I guess I should have learned my lesson last year when no one took me up on my synth arpeggio…but check out this year’s synth arpeggio! It’s in A minor at 96bpm, and should line up nicely to a click track once that weird 128 bpm envelope fades out:

…and @mdh, I don’t know what an ORCA is, but that’s a sexy looking screenshot! And the track is great too!

[Pineyb]

I thought that I’d try something different with this one.
This is a link to a Drive folder with a rhythm track from the modular. There are 5 mono files, plus a sixth audio click track. The rhythm parts have 5 clicks at the top to line things up in your DAW. Mix and match.
The sequence is in 5/4… depending on your outlook. 98 BPM
