i wanted to take a sound from my old Classic Keys (E-MU),but this idea was a
mistake,i used the classic the last time about 16 years ago and the battery was
dead. does anybody know what to do after replacing the battery,guess all the
presets are gone and i can´t find anything about getting them back and how
to load or transfer them back.
so after this i took the EMS and did a track just with three oscillators as a low
pulsing bed,a creeky sound from the M4L Bass and just let some short bleeps
coming.further there are two samples i made a long time ago and put them
into two instances of M4L Real Time Texture. the third sample is a recording
of a session piece with two guys i´m doing jamsessions two times a month,
and put it into Imperial Graines and did some live fiddling on it.
mixed it in ableton.

First Disquiet Junto for me! Really wanted to do one for a while now.

Here I’ve started with an empty centrifuge turning on and humming. It’s an empty machine while I recorded it, no samples, no test tubes, but it spins and drones anyway. On top of that I layer some synths that build into the sound. Lots of reverb and EQ work on all portions.

Slowly the synths come out with FX changes, which really describes the internal workings of the centrifuge. The deeper down you go to more mechanical and dangerous the machine is; it is meant for separating the heavy from the light at the tiniest level, after all.

Made a drone from my voice, added a rhythmic loop that evolves from NYC street sounds, added a vocal melody.

Nice one. I made a video too but it’s more literal, see https://youtu.be/0gsbJK7M5VQ

cumulus:

Description as posted on Soundcloud:

A synthesizer loop emerges from a drone; a bass part and Rhodes join it before the track ends.

The drone is the synthesizer loop: sequenced from a computer, a lead line in the modular synthesizer (filtered and modulated) is frozen inside a Mutable Instruments Clouds. Clouds has a broad texture setting, and the start point of the loop is shifted back and forth very slowly, as does the density of grains being sown.

As the track goes on, the dry signal is blended in, until the very end, when only the dry reverberated sound is left; the reverb is dialled back just as the track concludes.

A quick sketch, really, but interesting enough to keep and upload: wrapping my head around using Clouds’ freeze functionality alongside other sound; careful compression of the frozen tone brought it up to the volume of the original line.

I enjoyed this.

thx,
this track(excerpt) is laura’s vox, granulated and pitched
it’s not compressed super hot, 'cause it makes me listen as it is- I can even hear the birds outside…

the track is on bandcamp >https://k-blamo.bandcamp.com/track/huac-nx

for this my first Junto project I went and walked around outside a gated community. I recorded the EM field with a VLF receiver made by Steve Mc Greevy. Back home, having escaped the security guard, I played the recording through a max/msp patch. (doing things like loop sampling, brassage, impulse response stuff). So the basic drone is the 50hz electricty hum that’s everywhere in cities today. The rhythmic clicks come from the electric fence on top of the wall. x Gus

Drone with a bit more substance. Then proceeds to some audio boxes that are homemade with piano and mild voice.

Great interpretation - love the “live” feel and how it feels like a jam

A short piece that uses Spectral Dronemaker to do most of the heavy lifting.

Stunning first outing! Great stuff. Quite sophisticated! Welcome to the Junto.

I hope this works - for some reason I can’t see the embedded soundcloud player anymore, on any site. Please don’t give up the playlists!

Ran into an issue sharing my contribution to the Soundcloud group. Looks like SC may be phasing out groups early? Anyway, here’s my first post on this site and my contribution for this week’s junto.

The sound which begins this composition is a looped portion of a longer field recording that I captured near latitude: 28.8048 and longitude -80.8606 about this time last year. This area in Florida is a challenging place to record as there is a significant amount of both terrestrial and aquatic noise pollution from cars, boats, and um, rockets. This was captured within the grounds held by NASA and the ecosystem is a fascinating mashup of both fresh and saltwater marshes, pools, and streams. This particular hydrophone recording comes from a small inland lagoon of brackish water. When I dropped the microphones in, I was interested to see a bunch of the fish and crustaceans appear to find them interesting, brush up to them with their fins or tapping them with their claws. All of the pops and clicks heard are from them messing with the hydrophones. I was also surprised to hear that our voices from above the water could be clearly perceived and captured by the hydrophones. On reflection, I imagine that their world must be excessively loud and noisey thanks in large part to human interactions.

My interpretation of the assignment this week, to start with a drone and slowly reveal its constituent parts, made me immediately begin to think in terms of pointillism in painting where many small dots create a larger form when viewed from a distant point. I thought about distinct periodic elements in sound being disguised by altering both duration (decay, sustain, and release) and slewing pitch to remove any distinguishable pitch differential. Rhythmic patterns morph into more nebulous washes through repeated listening to me. So I started with things a smeared as possible as the drone, and quickly allowed the two component voices to identify themselves through both their inherent rhythmic pattern and their timbral centers. Eventually two distinct patterns emerge in the left and right stereo fields. But, they extend too far, and again become diffuse as their timbral centers sustain longer and longer. Turning into a drone yet again. The coda is the unaltered field recording unlooped.

A short sample of bees was time stretched using one of my maxmsp patches. The resulting file was then spectrally filtered in MetaSynth, gradually bring out the pitched tones. The resulting files were loaded into Logic Pro and gradually crossfaded from unfiltered to more and more filtered. About halfway through, a file that was filtered down almost to just the melodic tones brings the melody forward, and then finally it’s made explicit using a mixture of an airy sound from Iris, and a sampled bit of the spectrally filtered bee sound in EXS. (PS for Marc - Soundcloud doesn’t seem to allow posting to groups any more - there’s just a message about groups disappearing)
