Sample 3 tracks, make a new one. Found a sample in Pepper Jelly added a kick made from HNY and some space from Autista. Then just kept on adding and mixing and arranging samples also using Iris2 and Alchemy samplers.

I had a different plan. Then whilst playing with a sample made something that kinda looked like the first part of the score, so went with it. It ended up being a very slow reading of Design 1, Yet I tried to maintain constant guidance from the score. Thanks Mr Nelson for the inspiration!

Short time, love contemporary dance composition, have to do something. I found a little piece of public domain Mozart the other day and grabbed it for sampling. So thought I'd chuck it into Photosounder and have a play. Made two levels and then combined them in Logic with EQ and FX. More on this 222nd weekly Disquiet Junto project (Compose a piece for contemporary dance — with a “soft top” and a “...

Upon reading this weeks instructions I thought I'd record some of the beautiful morning birds around me here and add some synths inspired by their singing. Then a different idea happened which was to orchestrate some classical instruments to make a slowly building lovely major chord. Then I started working and this is what came out. Done in LogicX with an EastWest sample library and a little bit o...

I selected a field recording from inside Central Station, Sydney. As I looped a section I added samples cut from that loop and added EQ & FX. All sounds from the original segment of field recording. I created one instrument using the same loop in Izotopes Iris 2.

One take, no edits just top and tailed. H6 zoom recorder in a not so quiet room, I'm breathing while seeing in my mind a dance telling a story on a stage. A little bit of post production EQ, reverb and mastering. Unfortunately didn't read the instructions closely enough to remember 5 minutes...and have had the time to rework it so is a bit short. More on this 219th weekly Disquiet Junto project (“...

A collaboration with Charles Lindsay from the SETI Instiute who provided the original field recordings. I used only the 3 source recordings, sampled, manipulated, FXed, layered and played. Using the Iris2 sampler I found some interesting sounds in the high frequencies of the Quantum Computer that established a nice rhythm once pitched down a few octaves. To this I added samples and loops from the...

I was on my way to bed and made myself pick up the flute for a minute then realized it was midnight and remembered the disquiet for this week so pulled out the H6 recorder... put it together the next day.

This track was made entirely out of samples from the SoundHunters website, every sound you hear is from something captured in the 'real world'. The sounds I used are listed below and can all be found on soundhunters.com: beat and mug – 2556 drop bag on ground – 3124 glass jar in water #3 – 4014 knife rake – 2748 waterbottle drum – 1922 Wood Thuds 2 – 1497 wouinouuh – 1893 hu – 2116 water and natur...

On reading the instructions for this project, I planned how I could interpret it. I would need a bunch of field recordings from all over so headed to freesound.org and found: http://freesound.org/people/reinsamba/sounds/78535/ http://freesound.org/people/RTB45/sounds/233196/ http://freesound.org/people/miastodzwiekow/sounds/201065/ http://freesound.org/people/eric5335/sounds/53380/ http://freesoun...

Thought I wouldn't make this one until the clock above the bed of the friends house we are sleeping in inspired me, and then my lady started dancing to the clock... So recorded it with Zoom H6, found a couple of funky loops(of course at 120bpm), used Ableton Live to add some beats, bass, pads.... the unlooped recording is heard top and tail. More on this 194th Disquiet Junto project (“Record the s...

I chose: https://soundcloud.com/matt-also/revlector-disquiet0189-tonelayer and: https://soundcloud.com/337is/national-tennis-centre-melbourne-australia-1989-disquiet0189-tonelayer Thanks Matt and Leslie! After finding and layering loops from those two works I thought about how to 'glue' them together and decided that some live Saxophone should do it. I recorded it with intention to get a nice brea...

No Attach, one instrument, looping....hmmm a chance to use my voice in a Disquiet Junto....well could use Loopy HD on the ipad....and I know, test out how my new Zoom H6 goes plugged in to it! I had a short window of time this arvo to do it, so didn't think about it any more, just went for it....

Adding to https://soundcloud.com/apatchofnettles/eostres-cradle-disquiet-junto-project-0163-layering-silence-after-midnight. I'm currently on the road, last night I was in Coober Pedy in the Australian outback. The stereo space. I put my zoom recorder on the bull bar of the car and walked under the desert stars past the recorder twice playing my guitar...and dragging my feet the second time. Thank...

I found a loop i liked in “DSM III – The Cristalline Entity”, then put the same sample into Iris2 and made the wooden bell thing and created the bass part and the melody from that. I sampled a section of “Underground Shelter” for the high frequency stuff. "World of Ice and Snow, Part 1" became the glitchy stuff by using the "slice to MIDI" function in Ableton and adding some FX. After playing to a...

This is a section taken from almost an hour of multi-layered, evolving soundscape goodness! NonSilence and Beats Under Heat Volume 4 is a multi-layered, evolving soundscape based on the sounds of the natural world. This 55-minute piece, “Swambi”, was sculpted from recordings of dusk in a swamp on the far south coast of New South Wales, Australia. Originally created as an aural ambient space for vi...
