The chosen chord was : Dm9
Three synths, (VSTi synths), played into Zoom H6 one at a time.
Resulting wavs reloaded and processed (volume, pan, effects).
First Synth is a Polysix Bass Arpegiattor. One Chord plays for 100 seconds.
Second Synth is A Korg MS 20, the midtones. One Chord many hits in different sequences. Waves Enigma Hallucino Spread Effect applied, (pan delay), for more boy and character.
Third Synth is another Polysix, an Analog Pizzo with no sustain. Many short hits. Chopped into time with synth two, (111bpm aprox.)
Result is a driving tech drone, industrial yumminess you could almost dance to.
Happy 300 Disquiet Junto.
Goodwork MW.

Disquiet Junto Project 0300: The 300th Project
3 chords x 100 seconds
Step 1: For the 300th consecutive weekly Disquiet Junto project, choose a chord. Read the 6 steps of these instructions all the way through before making a decisions about instrumentation (Step 2) or recording (Steps 3 and 4). Understanding the intended end result will potentially influence those decisions.
Step 2: Choose three different instruments on which to play the chord selected in Step 1.
Step 3: Record yourself playing for 100 seconds that chord on the first of the instruments you chose in Step 2. You may want to record slightly longer than 100 seconds and edit back. Not every instrument has infinite sustain. You may need to use different techniques (strumming, sequencing, preparing, etc.) to achieve the 100 seconds. Consider those different techniques and the role they’ll have in the resulting sound.
Step 4: Repeat Step 3 for each of the other two instruments from Step 2. Consider how the three instruments, as well as the techniques you employ to play them, will correlate with each other.
Step 5: Layer the three tracks you have recorded. Perhaps fade in at the start and out at the end.
Step 6: Bonus round: Your piece is completed, but if you have the time and interest, consider subtly tweaking with filters and other means one or more of the three track you recorded.
Five More Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:
Step 1: If your hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to include the project tag “disquiet0300” (no spaces) in the name of your track. If you’re posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to my locating the tracks and creating a playlist of them.
Step 2: Upload your track. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your track.
Step 3: In the following discussion thread at llllllll.co please consider posting your track:

Step 4: Annotate your track with a brief explanation of your approach and process.
Step 5: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.
Deadline: This project’s deadline is 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are on Monday, October 2, 2017. This project was posted in the afternoon, San Francisco time, on Thursday, September 28, 2017.
Length: The finished track should be roughly 100 seconds long.
