“My Resistance Is Not My Personality” by The David Conspiracy (disquiet0612)

Process notes –
On Sep 23, 2023 and in the presence of an army of active landscaping equipment, I recorded a non-name eBay piccolo snare drum in twenty different short recordings using exciters and techniques. This I arranged into three track groups for left, right and center, each with an effects chain containing an Ableton Corpus and a Melda Production MAutoPitch into my standard channel rack. These clips were arranged over a straight recording of the landscaping equipment split into two stereo tracks, both through an Ableton Resonator and a Melda Production MAutoPitch.

I didn’t want to present a linear walk, so I went with a busy walk through an airport or major train station as my guide…with landscapers…

Prompt: Instant Replay #blisterpopsep23 Sep 2023 #2

https://youtu.be/dBtEF8OSrmI Here’s a prompt for anyone who comes across this. I release these at a rate of approximately twice a month but there is no pressure to complete these by a certain time. In fact, feel free to embellish or throw out any part of the concepts as I lay them out.

If you’d like me or others to be aware that you used this, use #blisterpopsep23 in your posts – Instagram, Soundcloud, YouTube at the very least should all pick them up.

Word prompt – I think I’ve been here before.

Musical Prompt – find a way to use repetition like you’ve never done before.

“Cactus, O Cactus” by Antlers Spread Wide (disquiet0610)

https://ift.tt/CFgL3lD

“Cactus, O Cactus” by Antlers Spread Wide

Contains recordings by Tristan Louth-Robins, Thomas Undermulden, Hugh G Prat, Jonathan Zorn and Bo OhWell
Mixed & mastered 30 Jun 2022 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa.

Process notes –
Along with my own submission for 0609, I grabbed pieces of the following
– [Disquiet_Junto_0609] Refactored Drift (60 bpm) by Tristan Louth-Robins
– Sleep Spindles (disquiet0609) by undermulden
– Upeow (disquiet0609) by Hugh G Prat
– Disquiet0609 60bpm by Jonathan Zorn
– Shadow Clocks [disquiet0609] by OhWell

After roughly tuning the tracks to something approaching C, I chopped chunks out of each, shortened these to 1 min total length from different starting points, chose different warp modes in Live and then stretched all 6 tracks to 2 min. I added some effects, including some to add pitchiness to non-tonal material. I used Max for Live to modulate some parameters while others were manually automated, then cut more chunks out. I accepted my rough mix and ran these through a variation of my Ozone 9 mastering chain.

This original version of “Cactus, O Cactus” was submitted as part of ​Disquiet Junto Project 0610: Speed Limit Pt 2
The Assignment: Combine two or more pre-existing 60 BPM tracks into something new — at half the speed.

Prompt – Open For Business

#blisterpopsep23

Word prompt – think of emotional openness between two people – the pluses or minuses

Music prompt – Pick a guitar open tuning and note the notes & the spread between the octaves used. This is not meant just for guitarists. You might have to do a little research if you are not one or just consider an open G tuning of D2-G2-D3-G3-B3-D4.

Prompt: Open For Business #blisterpopsep23 Sept 2023 #1

https://youtu.be/r2vfN_vzjZI #blisterpopsep23

Word prompt – think of emotional openness between two people – the pluses or minuses

Music prompt – Pick a guitar open tuning and note the notes & the spread between the octaves used. This is not meant just for guitarists.

For instance, you might have to do a little research if you are not one or just consider an open G tuning of D2-G2-D3-G3-B3-D4. Try to do something with just those 6 notes.
