Recorded the sounds of shaking, first, two Canadian quarters in an Altoids tin and, later, added two New Zealand twenty cent pieces. I tried to alter the rhythm as I went and then chopped the recording into rhythmical sections. These were then put together in Ableton with some effects including a bit of reverb. -- More on this 577th weekly Disquiet Junto project, Make That Money Shaker (The Assign...

Making more use of my external gear. Although processed in Ableton, all sounds in this track come from the MS-20, Volca Sample and Casio CZ-1000. -- More on this 576th weekly Disquiet Junto project, Casual Resolution (The Assignment: Get a musical New Year’s resolution out of the way), at: https://disquiet.com/0576/ More on the Disquiet Junto at: https://disquiet.com/junto/ Subscribe to project an...

Adding to the rhythm track (https://soundcloud.com/matthewh538/rhythm-kit-disquiet0572?si=bf671afa266248e9939301d1e114ab3b&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing) by https://soundcloud.com/matthewh538, I layered distorted electric guitar and sparkly Pigments synth. -- More on this 572nd weekly Disquiet Junto project – Rhythm Kit (The Assignment: Make a beat that someone e...

Doctor Foster always upset me as a child. I was dismayed that someone would refuse to return somewhere simply because they'd stepped in a puddle. I couldn't fathom the sort of personality that would act in that way. This is my riff on the traditional tune that accompanies the nursery rhyme. I don't really know where I was going with this but I wouldn't let a puddle stop me exploring. Doctor Foster...

Here I arpeggiated Felt Instruments' Helenko celeste and played two sets of keys sampled into Ableton's Simpler. I then passed both through the Felt Instruments Smugi sequenced filter bank. Bass is Softube's Monoment Bass, again passed through Smugi. There is a synth pad following along. Keys are changed. Keys are jangled. We stay mostly in A Dorian with a couple of visits to C Maj. Similarly we s...

Thanks to the influences of the Disquiet Junto community and all the musicians and YouTubers whose content I've devoured over the years. This track is not my usual fare. I created a wavefolder in Max genexpr then sampled sine waves at various pitches, which I then used in combination to ping AudioThing's Dials filter and Felt Instruments' Smugi sequenced filter bank. I recorded the original stems...

Late night noodling with a couple of KORG controllers and some sequenced instances of u-he Bazille CM and u-he Tyrell N6 soft synths recorded live to a stereo track. This mix adds a kick and some effects to the original recording.

Inspired by converting a picture of an aurora into sound and then messing about with an MS-20 effect that produced the pulsing sounds that form the backdrop of the track.

Meddling with Shapeshifter vs The Upbeats' Little By Little.

Based around a framework of MIDI tracks taken from Blackstrobe's remix of The Rapture's Sister Saviour. That track was a contribution to The Wired CD (Wired 12.11). This track also includes a couple of samples from the Blackstrobe track.

Based around MIDI tracks taken from Thievery Corporation's contribution to The Wired CD (Wired 12.11), DC3000. This track makes quite a bit of use of the KORG MS-20 software synthesizer.

Based around MIDI tracks taken from Dan the Automator's contribution to The Wired CD (Wired 12.11), Relaxation Spa Treatment. This track includes appearances by the software KORG MS-20 and a real live Casio CZ-1000.

Noodling with MIDI tracks derived from DJ Dolores' Oslodum 2004, a reworking of Gilberto Gil's Oslodum, both of which appeared on The Wired CD, included with Wired 12.11.
