Satori In Hackney (Version 2017) [Disquiet0275]

This weeks Disquiet asked us to revisit something we've previously recorded.
Disquiet Junto Project 0275: Revisit Something
The Assignment: Make a track all over again.

Step 1: Consider pieces of music you have completed in the recent past.

Step 2: Select one — perhaps you weren’t happy with it, perhaps it felt unfinished, perhaps it took too much time, perhaps you wish you’d spent more time on it.

Step 3: Do it all over again, from scratch — preferably from memory (that is, don’t go back and listen to it).

Step 4: Then compare the two. When uploading the track you completed in Step 3, please where possible include a link to the original track so other people might compare the two as well.

The track I chose to re-record is one of my most well played of previous Disquiet tracks (over 3,500 plays) and was part of Disquiet 221 - Morning Music. soundcloud.com/audio-obscura-m...21-morningmusic

This track was based around a sample of hitting a wine glass gently and pushing this sample through various effects chains. I loaded the original sample but consciously choose to edit it at a different place and length to the original. I then created a whole new set of effects chains and layered the track a few times and basically made sure I was triggering and manipulating the sounds in a new way. I did this for a while and had fun jamming with an old friend. I then played the drone / melody that appears in the original track but again this is somewhat different. Due to the source sample being the same the track appears quite similar to start with as the wine glass chime takes hold but it starts to sound rather different as it develops, I knew as the effects progressed the basic track would melt into something quite new and I had no idea where it would go. I couldn't remember the length of the original but was surprised when I finished this that they were only 4 seconds difference on length!
