"I had just purchased a new audio plug-in -- Drip, and wished to try it out. I did not want to test it on any former projects' tracks of mine, so I opted to open a new file on my DAW. Then, I saw Marc's email detailing this week's disquiet junto project.
I downloaded and imported the audio file authored by Chris Kallmyer, and listened to it three times, choosing what portion to edit out and use as a soundbed. I cut a chosen section out, and edited it down to a usable musical measure; the tempo approximated 70.56 beats-per-minute.
I copied and pasted seventeen repetitions of it side by side, and I then effected it with a Blue Cat chorus, SoundToys' MicroShift, and a lush and lovely reverb called Oril River. I automated the reverb to venture from 100% dry to 100% wet over the course of the seventeen bars to give the idea that the chime-bed was fading far-off into the distance over the course of the tune.
I then accidentally found some scraps of audio on my DAW workbench and took them to be happy accidents. I used them, editing out singular tones and rather brief passages. I placed them at the beginning, middle, and end of the soundbed, merely following instinct as I went, eventually forming a coherent composition, which reminded me of clock-chiming; thus, the name of the work.
Funny thing is, I forgot to test and utilize my new Drip plug-in. LOL!"
