Disquiet Junto Project 0244

Remix of three 20-second pieces from net labels. Details of source material below.

Goal for me here was to make something drastically new out of the source material, but not lose the overall vibe I get from the source pieces, which sound dark and difficult to me.

Rough idea before embarking on the track was to make a playable sampler patch from the source audio, and use sections of the audio for rhythm.

Using VSTs: New Sonic Arts Granite, Unfiltered Audio Indent, Pentode Audio TRW-1, Sonic Charge Permut8 and Echobode, Valhalla SpaceModulator, Brainworx bx_limiter.

Bassline - short section of audio in Ableton Simpler, pitched down, low-pass filter, chorus, saturation, distortion.
Rhythm - sliced Zraerza in Ableton Simpler, tapped out beats. Also, made some 1-bar loops from each Audio piece, and let Ableton's Follow Actions sequence them.
Master Bus: Echobode, Space Modulator, and bx_limiter.

Excuse the length. Some day, Ableton will present the length (in mins and secs) of an arrangement - and then I'll be able to preempt my penchant for long tracks before bounce-down. Hopefully, the track will engage you for the full 4:54...

Source Material:

  1. The first 20 seconds of “The Station and the Underclass,” performed by the Phonetic Orchestra, based in Geneva.
