Disquiet Junto SubmissionsCosmea [disquiet0484]**Production Notes**
Life in the city feels can feel monotonous during the pandemic. So my wife and I flee to my parent’s garden over the weekend whenever possible.
I recorded Chris Kallmyer’s wind chimes with a plenty of ambience full of birds, bees, and cycling planes overhead. I’m still amazed what the little microphone of the Roland R 07 picks up – you can hear my wife talking roughly 20 meters away.
Fun fact: I also used a wind chime at the exact same location for the Disquiet Junto Aeolian Metrics assignment ([https://soundcloud.com/analoc/disquiet-junto-107-greifenberg)]

analoc19 Meters Band [disquiet0407]This recording was made in Summer 2014 at 2am, sitting on the rooftop on a house in Mallorca. The radio was tuned to the 19 meters band, I didn’t interfere at all... so technically, it‘s a field recording.
I am constantly surprised of the musical content you can find in-between shortwave radio stations. As most commercial radio stations have abandoned analog radio in favor of internet publishing, it has become a pool of sonic madness. You’ll hear Muezzin singing, Chinese propaganda, morse clusters, number stations, languages you can’t decipher and lots, lots, and lots of sonically interesting interference.

In 2016, I challenged myself to get make some variations of Satie’s Gymnopedie.
For this particular recording I took the MIDI-file recording, reversed it in Ableton, and just added some fairy-dust reverb to it.

Found an interesting interview with Steve Reich in which he talked about the origins of his music. I extracted a short piece of the interview, made a even shorter one for looping and arranged the phasing loops in Ableton. It sounded completely mechanical and boring.
So the Phonogene came to help. I took four 1:30 minute jams I recorded with the Make Noise Systeme Concrete (Maths, Phonogene, Echophone, MMG and Clouds were used) and added them to Ableton loops.
Added and animated EQs, a hint of compression, a final gag and that’s all.

A Disquiet Junto Netlabel Remix for me traditionally is about beats and how to get the material in a nice groove.
This time, I hit brick walls. After extracting some bits from the source material (mainly from „Pepper Jelly“ and „Bump“), I found my usual approach didn’t work. It took ages to puzzle some bits together. No groove wanted to fit. Then the melodic parts didn’t want to go together. So I let the piece rest a day.

Then I started automating, mainly the pans, volume of the tracks, some FX were turned off and on. The piece turned out much longer than expected, but any ambient track takes it’s time, right?

Normally I’d try to shift the transients to archieve a rhythmic pattern, but this time - according to the assignment - I didn’t.

I found a sample I recorded in the „Klanggarten“ near Grünwald / Straßlach several years ago. You go through a curtain of wooden poles which then collide and make some sounds - quite nice ones, actually. Normally I’d try to shift the transients to archieve a rhythmic pattern, but this time - according to the assignment - I didn’t.
Next I extracted the melody of the pattern with Ableton and added a hand-made patch from Iris. After some piano chords and a simple bass note there still was something missing. It came to me in form of a...

analocEarly Birds [disquiet0218-soundpassage]**Production Notes**
Some days ago, I awoke at 5:00 a.m.. The birds were singing outside, and as I live right in the noisy city center, that‘s an unusual sound tapestry. The birds weren’t as loud as on the recording, but they sounded very cheerful… so I got up and started my field recorder.
To this recording, I added a self made drone; some chords came from Una Corda; a simple Operator bass; some pings from Aalto (lovely VST ensemble from Madrona labs). The fading organ is the „Enoeque“ preset patch I recently did for Rhythmic Robot’s Orgatone 601.

I started Thursday night. Robert Lally's „Square Pins in Thin Layers“ [https://soundcloud.com/rupertlally/square-pins-in-thin-layers-disquiet0216-thinlayers] immediately caught my attention. I extracted three four-bar-parts of his lovely piece which served as chords, pads and noises.
Added a simple beat, a ABL3 TB-303 emulation, two different leads (Ableton’s „Bass“ and iZotope Iris) for the verse and the chorus.
I was too tired to continue, so I did the finishing touches on Friday (arranging, tweaking, compression, sidechaining and mixing) - took me four hours all in all.

Gb: 369,99 Hz.
Wrong microtone = 409,73 = plus 39,74 ct
Corrected frequency = 411,18 Hz = plus 41,19 ct
First I went for the sinewave approach, which turned out too bleak, as I couldn’t find a good musical idea. So I fired up iZotope Iris, added a piano sample and went somewhat crazy with the filters (in Iris, you can „paint“ filter frequencies in any loaded sample).
Tripled this layer. Made the two other layers a bit longer, so it takes roughly 2 minutes for the loops to repeat themselves.

https://soundcloud.com/analoc/ridante-budho-disquiet0206
https://soundcloud.com/noimspartacus/tangle-disquiet0206-threeswitches
i stretched them to the same length with a 30 second time resolution so each track was rendered into a gradually changing drone and then recorded while i changed the gain of the tracks, oh and one track i had panned 30% left another 30% right to demarcate a bit more.

Doubled the MIDI track, added two „ABL2“ TB 303 emulations and a ton of effects each. Made the second MIDI track a bar shorter, so the timing of the two tracks gets out of sync.
