my entry for ambientonline.org one sample dare 32. This was made only using this sample: https://soundcloud.com/aural_solace/ambient-online-one-sample-dare-32-in-need-of-oil what a great sample, i really enjoyed this! it took me back to the mid 90s when i started making beats using samples on music maker.. i could hear a sleazy sax in the creak and drums hits.. i dug out my old copy of music maker and i was suprised it worked but it made it so easy to cut up that sample . thats what you hear in the

clouded moon (disquiet0191)

2015/08/31

i was taking pictures of the moon thinking of this project how with the cloud going over the reduced luminescence made it paradoxically clearer for the camera, and i wanted to get that sense of the clouded instruments coming into focus while at the same time blurring we went to a wedding yesterday and i wanted to sample the church organ drone but he was a bit too jazzy (and also i mightve got told off) so i settled for one of the instruments on live 8 then it goes into cello

Westy Reflector / Benn DeMole - C Swellowed...

2015/08/22

In a nice synchronicity i'd already halfway completed the project before it was announced: i'd done an extended version of https://soundcloud.com/thereflectors/c-swells where i'd looped the track a few times (and added a bit of echo n blur in the middle) so that i could listen to it a bit longer had it playing while i went through last week's tracks and it mixed well with https://soundcloud.com/benn-demole/swallowed-disquiet0189-tonelayer i liked the added bass and incidental sounds, so took a loop

appaleggio test (disquiet0189)

2015/08/15

https://hearthis.at/sevenism/appaleggio-test-disquiet0189/ Not alot of time, just off for the weekend.. this was meant as a test but i liked how silly it sounded and my girlfriend's been bouncing round the flat listening to it! my initial thinking was i wanted it to sound like an arpeggio. i played some notes on my mountain dulcimer then in post looped them every .5 seconds then halfway every second.. i quantized a little but kept the separate notes close to where i played them initially. then

hidden complex (summer mix) (disquiet0188)

sevenism ·

2015/08/07

for me complexity is a conceptual endeavour, it's more about the process than the outcome. at the moment, i see complexity as an integration of disparate elements: subjective-objective, creative-analytical, individual-communal, present-past etc. i'm aware that every piece of music i do follows on from another, they are related to each other in some (small?) way. working intuitively allows this to come out i think, but in addition i always combine conscious conceptual elements from previous efforts -

blue moon (disquiet0187-threestrands)

sevenism ·

2015/08/03

there was a blue moon the other day (two full moons bookending the month) the fading in and out is how i represented this. found this sample on an old tape.. looped it ~a minute then cloned it a couple of times pitched one up 100% and one down to 82 hz.. then had the samples fading in and out pretty randomly ☾ O ☽ ☾ ☽ ☾ O ☽ ☾ O ☽ ☾ O ☽ ☾ O ☽ ☾ O ☽ ☾ O ☽ ☾ O ☽ ☾ O ☽ Disquiet Junto Project 0187: Three Strands Shift between three renditions of the same melody.

No not lickford, nickford, pickfood.. lickfold.. l-i-c-k-f-o-l-d. got a lot of grief about my surname at school, but i like it now, it's unusual and dad's traced it back to the 13th century! the music is composed only from the sample of me saying lickfold track 1: my name slowly faded out (pitched to 77%) track 2: paulstretched 1000% track 3: track 2 cloned, pitched up 400%, phased track 4: track 2 cloned,

summer : impermanence (disquiet0185-memorymusic)

sevenism ·

2015/07/17

so, weird synchronicity again; this track https://soundcloud.com/sevenism/summer-storm-memory i did the other day fits the bill perfectly it was about a childhood memory of a summer storm. rather than just add that though i used the same method so it's kind of like a part 2 i remembered when i was a kid a bunch of at a birthday party in our garden were jumping on my poor dad.. at the time it was so much fun but i'm guessing it wasnt for him! i associate the harmonica with dad, its the first

https://hearthis.at/sevenism/oneeightfour-disquiet0184-setsofbars/ This is weird: i recorded some parts in live 8 on acidrack through podfarm then exported as wav to more easily play around with in audacity.. but what was outputted was not what i recorded and then live just crashed so i lost everything.. i dunno what happened, dunno where the 1-bar went, or where all the echo came from.. but hey the segments are combined at random and i like how it's come

Summer Storm (memory)

sevenism ·

2015/07/05

My track for ambient online one sample dare 30. the original sample here: https://soundcloud.com/lighthugger/pipes-ao-osd-30 i wanted this to sound like a summer storm brooding, a muggy humid feel, and it being a long ago memory. In audacity i took the whole sample paulstretched it to ~8 minutes and really smoothed out (cos there's loads of elements in the sample that i wanted to create gradual shifts and depth) then increased the volume of the low end rumble. then time stretched it down by half

High Tunnels - Spin Cycle {sevenism silk wash cycle}...

sevenism ·

2015/07/04

I used Spin Cycle by High Tunnels (https://soundcloud.com/hightunnels/spin-cycle-disquiet0160-oneminutepastmidnight?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet0160-oneminutepastmidnight) for this week's project. i really like ambient hidden in loads of noise and that's what i've gone for here.. although i think the synth could've been even lower in the mix. the synth is meant to sound like a silk shirt going round the washing machine, in the dead of night, i used a phaser mod for that sense of it going round, using

sevenism ·

2015/06/27

https://hearthis.at/sevenism/refocus-interdependence-fx-v2-disquiet0182-divergeconverge/ I wanted to do something simple where the sound of the variations was clear - it came out simpler than i was expecting (largely due to time constraints). I was thinking of the concept in terms of interdependence - how the samples all depend on each other as does the layering fx. it's meant to be listened to as a meditation where the bowl refocuses you on the present but also challenges your expectation of

my guitar dreams in fragments my guitar remembers half forgotten notes my guitar does not know how he sounds when he's sound asleep my guitar does not control his dreams I love my fender semi-acoustic guitar; we've been through a lot. I haven't used him recently, the battery for his pick up always runs out and i can't find the charger. I did have a spare battery, but then i thought i'd record close-mic'd to give that vague faraway dreamlike sound. I played just after i'd woken up, with sleep in my

Matryoska (disquiet0180-matryoshkamusic)

sevenism ·

2015/06/12

I represented each of the six dolls as an instrument - the bass doll, then opening up we hear my voice, then mountain dulcimer, then kalimba, 12 string guitar and glockenspiel. Then I reversed it as the doll is put back together and we just hear the bass to close. The bass starts off with more fx then I remove more and more fx from the instruments as it opens up. I tried to restage the image with my instruments! --------------- Disquiet Junto Project 0180: Matryoshka Music Use the Russian

Layers {mountain dulcimer echo} [Extrospection June...

sevenism ·

2015/06/10

My heart dropped when I saw this image. I find the conduct of the States in international affairs disgraceful. But then looking at the layered flags I reflected on more positive aspects: on the beautiful people I've known and the inspiring culture. I used my mountain dulcimer which is a genuine North American instrument (although with fitting irony my instrument is made in Pakistan which I found gently subversive). I played based on american primitivism and eastern influences (listen to

*shortened for space. full track here: https://hearthis.at/sevenism/chinook-showroom-ambientechoes-disquiet0179-techniquetalk/* The main thing I've learned recently is how to cede control to an instrument, like how inuits (and other cultures) say: the sculpture is already there. i just need to tease it out. So there's more of a collaboration, feedback loop, between performer and instrument. Here, I used acidrack pressed the random button to get a synth tone, then pressed random again because i

*shortened to make space on sc. full track here: https://hearthis.at/sevenism/converge-diverge-extrospection-may-2015/* I saw this painting in art class when i was about 13, i didnt understand that art didnt have to represent something concrete. Looking at it now I got that pull between convergence and divergence; the frenetic vs the calm background.. the synth i wanted to evoke the calmness with the frenetic beat The beat was created by typing in 'jackson pollock convergence' into

Bells {rndm vocode} 001 (disquiet0178-sepulchrabells)

sevenism ·

2015/05/30

I was playing around with Cecilia5 which is awesome for real-time processing, clicked random sound which came up with a vocoder preset and it had already emphasized the bells and got rid of most of the background sounds! I fiddled about with it coz there was a little distortion and to make it sound a little more weird but then all i needed to do was a bit of gentle levelling and fading out in audacity.
