Good one, the lower playback speed opens up some of the sounds :slight_smile:

This is a remix of the great creation by @mattmadd Mattmadd ā€“ Duodronedrumtrio-disquietjunto0474-revised-and-corrected which built upon the amazing first two creations from @joyneski and @melondruie. I heard some shoegazey, droney rock calling me from the depths of this, so I did what my I could to bring that forth. Dug into their tracks, took some bits. Good, good stuff guys! Working in Live. Turned some of their drums to midi as basis for 808 and acoustic drum tracks, then added more to those. Double and triple guitars, added harmonics Resonators device pretty randomly. Added bass and a synth lead (Arturiaā€™s mini-moog soft-synth). Had some late ideas for some vocal things to try over this ā€¦ maybe on the next version. Rambled on a bit over on the Soundcloud post description about this title. The moral of my story today: always lots more to learn, and I donā€™t want to forget that. Love this project, thanks for all your contributions here everyone!

This builds on @Glitcherā€™s 474 from last week, which used 473 from @homeontheland and 472 from @mdh. I pulled expositional bits from the originals and used those samples as raw materials for some new Max instruments. Unintentionally, the result is a very similar duration, but a little dubbier.

Itā€™s probably still Monday somewhereā€¦

Hereā€™s mine. I didnā€™t realise the track had been already picked until after I had started on it.

I used R to pick a number, because Iā€™m stuck in my R world: sample(1:66, 1) and got 53, the track by:

  1. @Anatol : Analoc ā€“ Whatever-comes-disquiet0472
  2. @halF_unusuaL : Half-unusual ā€“ Half-placebo-disquiet0473-with-analoc
  3. @Peter : Peter-eisenhauer ā€“ Disquiet0474-police-action-with-half-unusual-analoc

Used Mixxx and Audacity to loop the three tracks and stitch them together, with a bedroom/office field recording layered. Ends up being quite ā€œorchestralā€ I thinkā€¦

Thank you, I found the source material quite inspiring. Have to say that initially I was a bit hesitant to take it into such a different territory.

I like how the track is essentially brand new, and yet I can hear all the original tones surfacing and re-submerging throughout.

Hey dudes, I tried 3 other remixes if anybody wanted to check them out.

Peace, Hugh

This ā€œhidden featureā€ of the trios junto sequence was an unexpected delight. Iā€™ll be spending more time with the playlist and, who knows, maybe pitching in a late entry, but meanwhile, shout out to some of the artists who incorporated my own contributions into their remixes/reimaginings:

@bick_brannigan: I love how transformed this was from the sources, backwards and slowed down and chopped up. I also like the ā€œscene changes,ā€ we pass through several environments ā€¦And kudos on the bonus remixes!

@melondruie: same piece and also an airy and atmospheric treatment, yet with very different results: a lonely, forest-y sound. Some kind of filter envelope applied on melodic parts?

@creatures_once: You zoom in and amp up the percussive moments, pushing it further in the direction I had in mind. You mentioned shoegaze but to me it also has a groovy krautrock feel, which is a thrill. Love how you brought out harmonic overtones in the guitar.

Cc: @Chris_Ledwidge @rhein @joyneski and aforementioned @melondruie

@bassling mentioned running out of patience; I definitely felt pressed for time with this weekā€™s entry - wanting to keep working, but needing to take a snapshot of the product to post - but @disquiet has pointed out that the Junto is about shedding as much as anything else; often at the end of that youā€™re just tired, and donā€™t have anything to justify your efforts.

@fakeg3nius awesome to hear your retro gearā€™s contribution here! I like the ambient bits in particular, and how everything still has its space in the mix. Interesting tweaks in the left channel. The outro makes me think thereā€™s a longer version of the trackā€¦

@mdh I like your live recording/mixing approach, and recognize similar challenges ā€œfixingā€ the resulting performance. The result is moody and has a really interesting mix of timbres.

@Anatol this is excellent, a really rewarding take on all the original components, and a fabulous mix! Really neat to hear about your process, particularly how youā€™ve glued it all together with your own percussion.

@wasabicube that granular reverb is new to me; I might be having thOnk flashbacks. Great drums.

@krakenkraft I, too, may sometimes have been guilty of the pick-your-favourite-stems approach. As with so many of the entries here, the result is really unslottable, a fascinating mix of source material, processing, form and technical approach. Lush final 0:45.

@Bick_Brannigan gosh, thatā€™s some serious Low End.

@Noimspartacus as I remixed the same track, Iā€™m familiar with the components and can better appreciate your work. I like all the messy speed. I think we both found the static in the original.

@homeontheland thatā€™s definitely the school of remixing I attended
