Presentable (disquiet0621) 24.11.2023

This relates to Disquiet project 0615 where I uploaded a track from a small group I had recorded which I found generally unsatisfactory. Nevertheless, I kept these tracks on file & this effort derives from one of them. I have attempted to make it more interesting by changes to tempo, pitch, & dynamics, together with some additional delay & reverb. More on this 621st weekly Disquiet Junto project,...

Beat Accrual Bass - With X I I I X X I (disquiet0620) 17.11.2023

I took the track by x i i i x x I from project 619 & simply added a compatible bass drone.

Mountain Gale (naviarhaiku514) 10.11.2023

An electronic composition, sounds from various sources.

Gobbledygook (disquiet0618) 03.11.2023

The result of my text to voice experiment was, apart from a few recognisable words & phrases, total gibberish, made worse by the apparently inevitable North American intonation, which is hardly appropriate in this case. I used a random article from an old local newspaper & the first online software I came across. I added a touch of echo to the voice track & combined it with a sequence of electroni...

Not Quite Right (disquiet0615) 13.10.2023

This is linked to my track from last week, in both of which I intend to create changing rhythmic patterns. I made a couple of tracks similar to this one but was not entirely satisfied with some of the uneven & glitchy sounds, which were not exactly what I was aiming for. Of course, this is only my opinion & I am probably not the best judge of my own work. At least, although not exactly humorous, i...

Mountain Rainbow (naviarhaiku509) 06.10.2023

An electronic composition, sounds created in Pure Data.

Triple Trouble (disquiet0614) 06.10.2023

One aspect of the track I contributed last week was using multiple sounds to create varying rhythmic patterns. This week's track produces changing rhythms using a single sound with inbuilt threefold delay.
