Disquiet Junto Project 0189: Tone Layer

A sine wave, a few sparse notes recorded individually and then looped and layered with a subtle distortion effect. I did a more elaborate track sometime ago using the same technique:

Disquiet Junto Project 0189: Tone Layer

Create a dense stack of attack-free tonal material from one audio source.

This project involves layering loops, or a loop of layers. It’s preferable that you do so with live looping, allowing the layers to accrue in real time. However, if live looping is not a capacity of yours, then feel free, certainly, to layer them in Audacity or by some other means.

These are the steps:

Step 1: Choose an instrument that can create extended tones.

Step 2: Record a short loop of a single held tone on that instrument. Use a volume pedal or other tool to eliminate the attack at the start of the tone.

Step 3: Create many more such loops, all with the same instrument, and layer them atop the original loop.
