Years ago I released an album of old-school electronic music, “Electronica Sensible” and there’s a track that had two different working versions, one more groovy/punchy with drums and the other more laid back and sensitive with Rhodes electric piano, a proper melody and no drums. Back then I couldn’t decide which was best and released both versions in the album. Today I decided to go back to the m...

Work in progress... 24/25th September 2021 --------------- For Disquiet Junto Project508 The Assignment: Use the Shepard tone to create a piece of music. This one was difficult but I had to do it, a few years ago I was asked to create a piece of music for a documentary using Shepard Tones like Christopher Nolan does perfectly on his movies. They had no budget for Hans Zimmer and they called me, ok...

Hey, so glad to be the source of this week’s junto. I decided to use my original “example” track as a submission for this one, where, after recording separately each sample, I just unmuted all the 10 tracks , turn the volume 6dB down and just listened: as expected, everything worked (sort of) alright together, providing a 6 octave massive Cmaj13(#11) chord. The I just moved each track more or less...

This is a rework of an old track (https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz/cantico-for-a-raindrop-in-a-quiet-garden) but inspired by this junto challenge: Disquiet Junto Project 0506: Wipe Out The Assignment: Take something whole and erase half of it. I not only removed half of the tracks (all the strings, bowed basses and cello) but also edited heavily to create a shorter version of the original, trimm...

File updated Sep/7th/2021 after some positive feedback, shorter, more dynamic... Part of a work in progress (on hold, almost abandoned) I planned to build 5 repetitive pieces using percussion instruments and tempo delays. My plan was to build some hypnotic rhythms in odd time signatures (3/4 5/4 7/4 9/4 11/4) and make it more in the 1970's repetitive music vein and not on a groovy world music perc...

I left this one aside till I read today's challenge. It is just an idea, played on a borrowed Gibson Les Paul using a borrowed Epiphone little tube amp. I Was charmed by the tone and played some simple strummed chords and promised to work on it later.
