**Production Notes**
Quadupled the source material in Ableton Live. Reduced three tracks to their transients, so that they produced audible spikes. Pitched this material +12 and -24 notes.
Added several send FX chains, consisting mainly of NI Replica delays. Started the track. First you hear the original track, then I started fiddling with the send knobs, later with the delay times.
Added a slight compression to the mastering chain.
Thanks for your messages: The tooth‘s back to normal again, no need for sampling the dentist ;-)

I** Disquiet Junto Project 0204: Under Beat**
Add a foundational rhythm to an ambient foreground.
This week’s project is a complement to last week’s — but you can do this week’s project without having done, or even been aware of, last week’s. Last week we added a foreground to an underlying beat. This week we’re adding an underlying beat to a foreground.
Step 1: Listen to and download the track “Beacon, For Marissa” by Toaster:
https://soundcloud.com/toaster-1/beacon-for-marissa
Step 2: You’ll be adding a foundational, underlying rhythm — a beat, that is — to the track. The original is quite long, at over 17 minutes. You can certainly utilize the full piece, but it’s recommended that you select a segment of between 2 to 4 minutes.
Step 3: Please create a new track by adding a beat to the source audio from Step 2. (Do not change the source audio, other than perhaps fading in and out at the start and end, though you can use it as raw material for whatever beat you choose to add.)
Step 4: Upload your completed track from Step 3 to the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud.
Step 5: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.
