**Production Notes**
There’s a nice little free Reaktor ensemble, which I used for this piece. It’s called vFripp. It combines a synth with a frippertronic style mono delay.
Played for 5 minutes to build up something, then let the loops flow.
Maybe I put up the longer version, also.

** Disquiet Junto Project 0189: Tone Layer**
Create a dense stack of attack-free tonal material from one audio source.
This project involves layering loops, or a loop of layers. It’s preferable that you do so with live looping, allowing the layers to accrue in real time. However, if live looping is not a capacity of yours, then feel free, certainly, to layer them in Audacity or by some other means.
These are the steps:
Step 1: Choose an instrument that can create extended tones.
Step 2: Record a short loop of a single held tone on that instrument. Use a volume pedal or other tool to eliminate the attack at the start of the tone.
Step 3: Create many more such loops, all with the same instrument, and layer them atop the original loop.
Step 4: Record a document of these layered loops lasting approximately 1 minute.
Step 5: Upload your completed track to the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud.
Step 6: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.
Deadline: This assignment was made in the afternoon, California time, on Thursday, August 13, 2015, with a deadline of 11:59pm wherever you are on Monday, August 17, 2015.
Length: The length of your finished work should be roughly one minute.
