Created Friday 11th February 2022 by DD For this challenge: Disquiet Junto Project 0528: Landscape Architecture The Assignment: Forge an unobtrusive path through musical flora. I stared by writing a simple but quite precise chord progression with voicings and all (A-A-B+Coda), and recorded that on 3 electric bass tracks performing artificial harmonics, a 4th melodic bass track using a volume pedal...

with paul-beaudoin & morgulbee My recording over two A minor drones based on https://soundcloud.com/paul-beaudoin/disquiet0526-v2-a-minor-drone that was based on https://soundcloud.com/morgulbee/a-minor-drone-disquiet0525 I played my Indian Harmonium and punctuated each end of stanza with a single upright bass note. @disquiet @paul-beaudoin @morgulbee https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0...

I wasn't happy so I added a rhythmic picked bass part (that I edited afterwards) Still not happy I p...

Over the roofs with sternklang & buckminster I think there’s something baroque on the original duet track by sternklang & buckminster something on the musical phrases, I don’t know . Anyway, I decided that a sort of Harpsichord could work, it didn’t so I used a picked piano instrument from Soniccouture’s Xtended Piano library. I added some sparse cello and strings to punctuate the classical feel....

I had the pleasure to jam over to melondruide’s hypnotic track https://soundcloud.com/melondruie/cold-sun-disquiet0525 As a warm, earthy contrast to the original icy synths I added some hand percussion I went for my Hand pan (Hang) cause it’ sin C minor as the original track, and just added some phrases on a little Indian Talking Drum, but this time I think there’s a nice bed for a 3rd contributor...

I played with Fnubi’s Cameo track (https://soundcloud.com/fnubi/cameo-unfinished-disquiet0525), over that great pulse I added an Harmonium melody (low stops and tremolo stop) I couldn’t resist to add a sparse upright bass and , to punctuate some chord changes not in the original I added a synth pad. There’s no room for much more I’m afraid. (Some percussion track perhaps? It is performed over a cl...

I recorded an electric bass part to noodle twister’s lovely groove https://soundcloud.com/user-130801280/collab-one-disquiet0525 It remains a groove/basic track so here you will find room for more.

It was a pointless jam, but I liked the groove, so I kept it aside for further use. 5 years later I w...
