There’s a Mister Lovecraft at the door… by Tuonela

I took a few seconds from something I was listening to and stretched it out to this length. Then it was duplicated. Using Sliding Stretch, one track was made to drop an octave over its length; the other to rise an octave. So, by the end they are 2 octaves apart. End of experiment (with an enhanced mix of both tracks added and down-pitched an octave, of course). ------------------------------------...

I returned to the Samplebrain tracks from a couple of weeks ago – I had subjected one of the results to my trusty demo copy of The Mangle. One of the original samples was of birdsong, and they reappear in an interestingly altered way, realistic and yet surrealistic/enhanced/dreamlike as well. Which may or may not be what this Disquiet is about. Or both. Image courtesy of NightCafe AI generator ---...

I was probably being too impatient initially. Since I’m still running Windows 7, I just thought it wouldn’t run and forgot about it. Until today. I shortened the three samples, followed the instructions and produced this mess. Well, sort of. This has a reversed version overlaid and a reverb of both tracks mixed. Shortened the whole thing to avoid boring you. Sorry it’s so shit, haven’t got time to...

Unpublished thing from 2013. Can't recall what C2 was or if it was ever understood. Edit: Okay, it was a track from this album: https://archive.org/details/tn038 by Adrià Bofarull & Joan Saura, originally used in an early disquiet junto piece

I was going to sit this one out. Then I wondered what the image would sound like imported as raw data into Audacity. Great blasts of white noise static, no surprise there. About to delete it, I put it through multiple layers of full reverb on a whim and was pleasantly surprised to hear it transform into a huge, bell-like drone which seemed to crawl around inside itself. I tried importing the image...

Being way out of touch and not having any idea what gabber was, I took a crash course. Turns out to be good ol’ hardcore techno! Can’t say it ever did much for me, but that’s probably just an age thing. Our own https://soundcloud.com/lityk has even been generous enough to use some of my sounds in his work, like this one: https://soundcloud.com/lityk/dronebrute and an earlier one which even came ou...

No thanks, I’ll bury it here by Tuonela

Never, ever read the instructions first.

The chord was converted directly to a wav file, stretched and edited into a three-minute loopable drone. The chord was treated (gently) in ambient v.3 and the result was sprinkled over the drone in various stages of reverb and enhancement. The title is 2 anagrams of ‘Cage drone’. Not sure why… ---------------------------------------------- The Assignment: Riff on a chord by John Cage. Step 1: Cons...
