Disquiet Junto Project 0177: Netlabel Portrait
Dark Winter Wonderland [disquiet0177-netlabelportrait]
“DSM III – The Cristalline Entity” excerpt was speeded up to one second, then cloned over and over. It provides the metallic pulsing sound in the second half. In addition, the quiet tinkling section was copied, cloned, delayed and pitched up an octave. You can hear it throughout, and fading away near the end.
The excerpt from Scott Lawlor’s lovely drone “World of Ice and Snow” was just reversed, stretched and amplified – it opens the show then fades away.
The “Underground Shelter” excerpt was delayed and corkscrewed then stretched – also reversed, down pitched and double tracked to provide the somewhat spooky rising and falling sounds.

Every couple of months the Disquiet Junto hosts a netlabel remix. All of the source audio for a netlabel remix is available for free, non-commercial download and creative reuse thanks to a Creative Commons license. This series of “netlabel remixes” is intended to promote that sort of thoughtful, collaborative sharing.
The netlabel Dark Winter has already released three albums this year. We’re going to use a snippet of one track from each of those records, and in combining them produce a kind of sonic snapshot of the label.
Step 1: Create a new piece of music by using nothing but the following segments of the following songs:
Use the first 30 seconds from “Part 1″ off Scott Lawlor’s World of Ice and Snow:

Use the first 30 seconds from “Underground Shelter” off Nadador Nocturno’s Harsh Winters in the Distance:
http://www.darkwinter.com/dw096.html
Use the first 30 seconds from “DSM III – The Cristalline Entity” off Ovdk vs Seetyca’s Allegorik Symptom Before the Cataclysm:

Step 2: Upload your track to the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud.
