Gotcha. That makes sense to me. Thanks.

comments are threaded. just just need to use the correct reply button. to start a thread you reply to the individual post (the reply button within the message you want to reply to). to reply to the whole topic, ie, reply to the original post, use the blue reply button at the bottom of the list of posts.

the interface updates and you can then click to see threaded replies to a comment. and also floating comments show an “in reply to” icon which will expand the original comment.

quote reply by highlighting the text to be quoted … can be handy too!

I don’t see my track there so possibly I am posting it incorrectly?

A typo is the issue. The title says “diquiet 0240” but there should be an “s” in “disquiet” and no space before the 0240. Otherwise the search return doesn’t bring it up. I’ll add now, and you can just fix the title whenever. Thanks.

Ah ok, i just fixed the title and the url as well. Thank you for catching that!

Here’s what I did to make this: I started with a snippet of sound I had recorded a few weeks ago. (If I recall correctly, it was a custom Aalto patch being driven by MIDI from some Reaktor 6 blocks.) I opened it in Audacity and used the Paulstretch effect twice (with default settings), resulting in a total stretch factor of 400. I opened the result in Reaper and used ReaEQ to tame some ringing resonances. Then I put that result into Glitchmachines’ Cataract and tweaked settings until I got a rhythmic sound I liked. I duplicated that result and used ReaFir’s Subtract mode on both instances (with two different settings), thereby restricting one instance to frequencies in the 3K to 12K range, and the other to frequencies in the 100 to 400 range. These were layered with the original stretched and EQed audio and slowly faded in.

Thank you for catching that!

Sure thing. Totally my pleasure.

you can still add to groups, on your own profile, underneath the track, next to the share button. it worked for me, but i guess only till Aug 22nd.

Yeah, and based on what I’ve heard from SoundCloud, not only does groups stop functioning fully on the 22nd, it fully goes away. The URLs will yield null returns.

Strange. On mine it comes up with the removing groups to ‘make space’ (!) message when I click that button

The new project is now live:

Foreground Effect (Disquiet Junto Project 0241)

[image] Each Thursday in the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud.com and at disquiet.com/junto, a new compositional challenge is set before the group’s members, who then have just over four days to upload a track in response to the assignment. Membership in the Junto is open: just join and participate. There’s no pressure to do every project. It’s weekly so that you know it’s there, every Thursday through Monday, when you have the time. This project was posted around noon, California time, on T…

Make that 50 tracks. There was a straggler, likely due to search being imperfect.

Generative systems

I’ve always been draw to create “generative” music of one form or another. But trying to pin down what that means would be hard. Perhaps it better to just do it by personal recollection: Early works for modular synthesizer: I would create self-playing patches designed to be played in the lobby for an hour or so before concerts. One might call this generative, or perhaps chaotic and emergent. Over the years, I have re-created this work (style of works? body of works? are they collectively one w…

it’s cool to be linked up, thanks

Edit: Hmmm. There should be my track in that blank space up there ^^^ I guess just copy-pasting the embed code isn’t gonna cut it. Will link instead 'til I figure out what I’m doing wrong…
