For this week's junto project I created a patch in zMors modular which triggered sine waves of different frequencies at semi random intervals. If two different frequencies were triggered at the same time then the waves were added together. This was then run through a chain of delay, reverb, and a bit crusher to create a bit of fizz. A sample of vinyl crackle was cut up in patterning and fed through another multi fx chain. The patch was left to play itself with me looping snippets that appealed.
Disquiet Junto Project 0326: Wave Turntable
In collaboration with composer Danny Clay, make music for his exhibit with artist Jon Fischer using only sine waves and turntable surface noise.
Step 1: Tracks in this project will be played as part of a free event in San Francisco at the McEvoy Foundation for the Arts (mcevoyarts.org) on Saturday, April 7, 2018, for an exhibit by composer Danny Clay (dclaymusic.com) and artist Jon Fischer (feather2pixels.com). The project was developed in collaboration with Clay. Before proceeding, consider the sort of music that might be conducive as partially-heard, partially-background music for an art event.
Step 2: Compose a short piece of music using only sine waves and the surface sounds of vinyl played on a turntable. Those two sources are inspirations for the Clay/Fischer exhibit.
