So, just to be clear, we’ve moved the deadline for sample submission to August 4 11:59pm (wherever you are); I’ve updated the original post to reflect this. So glad we’ve gotten some additional voices already. Happy sample-making, everyone!

So it looks like the last parts of the planet have passed 11:59pm Sunday (I’m looking at you, Baker Island) and we have seven contributors, with 15 samples of equlibria (thanks @jasonw22 for the hat trick) and 14 punctuations. Given that, it seems like it makes sense to proceed as planned with each contributor creating their own piece using the samples available. I’m very excited to hear what evolves from this!

I’ve begun the process of doing some sound design based on the samples, and I just have to say that this is incredibly rich palette to work from. Really excited!

Also want to mention that Plugin Boutique is giving Izotope Iris 2 away throughout the month of August with any other purchase. I picked up a $10 Kontakt thing (which is also fun) and have been really enjoying Iris since. It’s kind of a perfect tool for our type of sample mangling.

Did and did. It may seem quick, but I think I poured more effort into this relatively short track than possibly any other piece I’ve done with the lcrp. I’ll post notes after the release. Very excited to hear others’ works!

How is everyone doing with their tracks? Tomorrow is the scheduled deadline – do we need more time?

If the deadline extended through the weekend, that should be enough for me.

Makes sense. Let’s do that! I’ll update the header.

D’oh! We already have the 23rd as the deadline. My bad.

I’m nearly (but not quite) finished with my track.

I’m not going to start mastering until Sunday 9/29, so if you need a little more time, you have a little more time.

@howthenightcame and @Jet thanks a lot really glad you like it!!! a bit chunk of the credit for the idea goes to @jasonw22 and @dnealelo. We were brainstorming about possible ways to represent the idea of “punctuated equilibrium” without being too obvious and played – among other things – with various concepts related to things that change over time, fork, split etc. A central concept that came up at one point was “concurrence” and @dnealelo mentioned network streams in river deltas. @jasonw22 then posted this amazing map of the Mississipi river.
As you can see I took quite a bit of inspiration from there. The colours and the overall shapes are obviously heavily inspired by the map, but I tried to reduce it to its fundamental concept, to its essence: i.e. to the flow of things and to the concurrency of distinct moments.
I like how this process is somehow related to what often happens LCRP, where you take somebody else’s wortk and turn it into something else.

This LCRP turned out really well I have to say! It’s short but sweet. Great work everybody!

Just listening and love it so far! Thanks all for the effort gone into this.

My track is an all granular composition. The only sample used is 6th Gear from @jasonw22.

I was watching this Curtis Roads interview again, and got a bit stuck on this section at 3.40ish - “the sounds are born, they live, they change, they meet other sounds, they collide, one sound destroys another, they merge together, they get married, they get divorced, they get unstable, they change identity, they mutate and then they die…”

It felt like there was some parallel here on macro / micro scale to the theme. A bit like when you look at a photo, and can’t work out if its a river delta shot from the air or a square inch of something in close up. So yeah, Roads inspired microsound punctuations.
