How do I start? Singing is always dangerous, if you are not a singer… No… okay, this way: Some children can only be loved by their parents… one must stand by one’s misdeeds … my microphone was broken … the true beauty of music is that it connects us, yes, this is it!

I startet with the playlist Disquiet Junto Project 0473: Placebo Effect (2 of 3) by disquiet | Free Listening on SoundCloud and went to “around the middle of it” and started listening until I found something I liked: Disquiet Junto Project 0473: Placebo Effect (2 of 3) by disquiet | Free Listening on SoundCloud by @DeDe Daniel Diaz | Free Listening on SoundCloud (guitar) and @ray_cobley ray_cobley | Ray Cobley | Free Listening on SoundCloud (synth). The strange mixture felt right and asked for some voice.

So I improvised with the text given by the titles (and some extra text). I did this in two takes. I added as much plugins as possible to hide the fact that I can’t sing.

As you can hear: Neither can I sing, nor am I able to hide it with production gimmicks.

Anyway, after slicing my vocals I somehow liked it. Yes, you will have to listen to it 20 times, drinking some high octane booze, but then you will discover the hidden beauty of this track. Thanks, guys, I really had a lot of fun with this!

This was built from #21, Michel Banabila’s collaboration with noimspartacus. I added some subtle percussion work and a vocal sample to this already super-cool track.

@joyneski your contribution to this track reminded me of this great song by Oliver Coates, have you heard it?

RoBob Eko told me: ‘cogito, ergo robotum’. :thinking:

Ha! Because I grabbed the link from my “private” Music playlist on YouTube maybe it wouldn’t load for others…I edited it so now it should work for everyone. Dumb internet.

Searching for a second duo to join, I found Padded room (Disquiet0473) by melondruie | Free Listening on SoundCloud by @melondruie melondruie | Free Listening on SoundCloud, based on Paddisquiet0472 by joyneski | Free Listening on SoundCloud by @joyneski joyneski | Free Listening on SoundCloud. The dreamy character catched me instantly.

I added strings & flutes, padified thru reverbs, plus some field recordings, and a subtle bass. I think I handled it with care, you could even ask where my contribution is. Thanks, fellows, for your music!

Excellent trio, a piece with so much depth. No abstract feeling here. Brilliant.

I took Du(o J)et No. 34 in A minor [Disquiet0473] by Matt Madden | Free Listening on SoundCloud which was a duet between @mattmadd’s and @Chris_Ledwidge and added some field recordings that were treated with some grain delay and pitched down, stretched, etc.
I really wanted to be subtle with it and just add some ambiance.

For my second Disquiet Junto response this week, I’ve added bass to the collaboration between @UntilledSound and @abalone (k-blamo).

This one took a little while to get the levels right and I EQ’d then mixed in some distortion to help, as well as reverb and compression.

I’ve uploaded the audio here

The track created by @krakenkraft and @rhein formed the basis on which I layered drums, reverb, some filter and stereo effects. Hope you like it.

A detective story atmosphere with all those sonic twists and turns that lead us astray. But who is the culprit?

Totally. So many options. I was trying for Rush Job or Roches motel, but neither had a vibe I could align with. :slight_smile:

RNG gave me @gentil track from last week built on @mattmadd track from the first week. My thought was to add some stringy things to the first half and more percussive elements to the second half. Also added some noisy textures in the background. Things ended up being more dissonant than I had intended, not sure that it really works. My track is titled Vanity as a nod to the vanity of thinking I could improve on the work of others and to the vanity of finding the result lacking and debating on whether to post it or not as to avoid looking dumb. Since this whole project is about learning and challenging oneself creatively and not about making perfect music, I share in that spirit.

Also wanted to thank everyone that I collaborated with the last few weeks. It’s been a rough year and the weekly challenges and the learning I’ve done responding to them have provided one of the few bright spots in this challenging period for me. So thanks everyone and thanks to Marc for organizing everything.

building off tracks by @Bick_Brannigan and @Zeke_B trying to be an early 90s bridge between these two :stuck_out_tongue:

took it back to the 80s with some ibanez hd1000 as a “hard reverb” recorded to tape, played back through the hd1000 as an octave up effect. tried to sync up the reverbed and the octaved tracks but the tape didn’t play back at the same speed every time (and I did some manual wobbles of the varispeed). Added some flanger with valhalla space modulator to give some stereo width to the pitch shifted track, and compand as a compressor on the reverbed track.

building off of these tracks: @rhein and @wasabicube

maintained the stereo field because i liked the call and response feeling. played it through wrms on norns to get some delays and loops that interject one side into the other. Then put it through Fantastic voyage for a glitchy granular reverby kinda effect.

@melondruie It sounds nice.

@joyneski Great story and track, nicely done!

@gibbsdavidl ice guitar, like it was there from the beginning

@rhein I’m standing in a “place” listening to the music, great
