“Little Iodine Crack” by Lumber Mart (disquiet0622)

No Comments on “Little Iodine Crack” by Lumber Mart (disquiet0622)

https://ift.tt/MwTqgeO

For this, I extended my ideas around Disquiet Juntos 0605, 0606, 0609 & 0530, centered around “minimally viable music.” I worked various techniques to shadow my foundation audio – including duplicating and delaying – as well as decaying, stretching and minimizing strategies using gates, crushers & audio warping.

Recorded, mixed & mastered 30 Nov and 01 Dec, 2023 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa.

Process notes –

For the foundation audio here, I used a recording I made of a cheap acoustic guitar to cassette tape on 14 Feb 1988 and transferred to another tape on 30 Aug 1995.

Tools used – Ableton Live 11 Suite, Ableton Live native devices and a handful of Max for Live devices, along with iZotope Ozone 9 and K-Devices Shaper.

This original version of “Little Iodine Crack” was submitted as part of **Disquiet Junto Project 0622: Know the Shadow.** The Assignment: How do you depict a shadow in sound?

“Pinch Appeal” by Our Quiet Fog (disquiet0621)

Post date November 23, 2023
No Comments on “Pinch Appeal” by Our Quiet Fog (disquiet0621)

https://ift.tt/5GniIHl

Conceived, recorded, mixed, mastered 23 Nov 2023 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa, NY.

Photo taken 11 Sep 2017, Massapequa, NY

Process notes –
This track started out as a loop that I made in FL Studio on 05 Feb 2005 called “orchomainb.” I have folders and folders of these old FL loops on my drive and backup, maybe 100-200, starting around 2000/01.

I imported a piece of this loop, which was something like bass, drums and some strings into Ableton Live as a wav file and had Live create a melody MIDI clip from it.

A rough idea of the tools I used
– 8 native Live MIDI effects
– Arturia Piano V3
– several of Live’s and Arturia’s delays and compressors
– Puremagnetik’s Partikl delay
– Mastered with Ozone 9 on a fairly gentle setting.

This original version of “Pinch Appeal” was submitted as part of Disquiet Junto Project 0621: The Leftovers. The Assignment: Use recently discarded material to make something new.

Recorded 01 Jan 1999 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa. Mixed and mastered on 19 Nov 2023.

Process notes –

I recorded this on 01 Jan 1999 using a Yamaha SU-10 sampler, probably a Pignose Crossmix 150R guitar combo amplifier into a Tascam 424 Portastudio. I transferred to Ableton Live on 04 Jun 2023 and mixed with some Live effects, the texture warp mode and mastered with Ozone 9 and Live’s Dynamic Tube device.

I used these delay racks made by Brian Funk
