Challenge: Find a piece of wood, the grain of which captures your imagination. https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0690-knot-bad Hi, I've been working on percussion tracks, so I took this picture (taken in souther Spain), it is not really "shapes of the grain" but the pikes are so massive and menacing that I couldn’t stop thinking as a good notation for a spicy percussive track. I see sho...

Hello, this is a variation of a track I've been working on for a "all percussion" project. I decided to boost the reverb time and amount on all kick and bass drum hits and keep the manual little percussions fully dry, just leaving the ambient sound of my room that's a tad more alive than a small studio room, but still very dry. And no reverb added. I think this assignment's idea was interesting an...

Bombo Legüero and other real percussions from South America (kuntrun, pezuñas, derbouka), instrumental percussion groove.

I started and abandoned this track consistently during 2024, never finished it, never been sure about it but there's something I do like. The modulations are fun and clever, I think, smooth and yet surprising and effective. I recorded several guitar takes over the year (each time I had a guitar recording session I gave this a fresh tray). I wanted this to be a "guitar" showcase, but eventually mad...

Very inspiring toys . This morning, I decided to do a 10th and last one following this junto's prompt. Recorded a simple 8 bar melody in F#m using the OB-X, then played the same melody without really synching to the fi...

These drone was recorded today Thursday 5th December 2024 in a 3 hours session. I recorded 3 instances of OB-X and 3 of OB-E software synths by Gforce (just bought them 5 days ago) @gforce-software It starts with an OB-E bass, then one OB-X synth pad and gradually the rest of the synths start joingin the drone party to make things more dense and Gradually the first "tame" drone is left alone to re...

I’ve always had plants in my studio, and someone once told me that even if sunlight is limited, the constant presence of music playing every day helps keep the plants healthy. I don’t know about that, , but they look great and seem to grow steadily. “Record music to help a forest grow.” I believe that simply having musicians play acoustic instruments in the forest would only bring good to it. Here...

Congratulations @disquiet a...
