Disquiet Junto Project 0198: Overture Remix

I really loved the album after a couple of listens, so I just played around a bit with some selections from each track, altering slightly but trying to keep the overall sonic flavour intact. No major processing, all done using cut/paste and misusing Audacity plugins.

Applied the same thinking to the image as well, “remixed” in Paint.net in an attempt to depict the process of creative thought… hence the title.

Create an overture for a full-length album.

Thanks to Lee Rosevere (twitter.com/leerosevere) for proposing the source audio for this project.

This week you’ll produce an overture for an album. You’ll do so by culling key representational material from each of the five tracks that comprise Chris Zabriskie’s album Thoughtless.

Step 1: Download and listen to the five tracks of Chris Zabriskie’s album Thoughtless, available at this URL:

http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Chris_Zabriskie/Thoughtless

Step 2: Cull a representative segment from each of the five tracks.

Step 3: Create an overture to the album by combining those segments into one standalone piece of music.
