Some collaborations on the Junto challenge Week 3, adding to other people’s tracks.

Posted by admin under DedeLand Music News, music (No Respond)

Hi, after some fellas  submitted tracks to last week to the 429th junto challenge, I made some contributions for the 431st junto:

Daniel Diaz: bowed upright basses & filters (on original track)
@MarcoLucchi; mellotron é & synth
@michel-banabila: Synthesizer

My first contribution to this collaborative challenge, based on Marcolucchi – Der-steppenwolf that’s Marco’s collaboration with michel [banabila](llllllll.co/u/banabila) adding to his track [Michel-banabila – Fase-1-disquiet-0429-solitary-ensembles](Michel-banabila – Fase-1-disquiet-0429-solitary-ensembles)

This one really liked and puzzled me, there’s a mysterious modulating sound and performance on the mellotron that reminds me of Gregorian chant, even if the sound is no “voices” but more like a string-harmonium sound. But it evokes a bunch of ancient Greek monks on acid , recorded on an old Geloso (what won’t I give to lay my hands again on my mum’s old Geloso that served as my first experimental recording device when I was 6 ?) Nevermind…
Thanks to Marco and Michel for their inspiring track.

_______________________________________________________________________

For this one I worked over this track by @encym
Encym – Oozes-two-drones-looking-for-companydisquiet0430
That is a collaboration with this original solo by @joe-mcmahon
Joe-mcmahon – Where-i-was-drone-only-disquiet-0429

I performed synthesizers (MicroKorg, Emu Vintage Keys) to add some more “regular “musical content (melodies, harmonies) to a drone track that sounded very musical to me, it was difficult to catch in terms of my reactions to it, it sounded abstract and musical, cold-experimental and warm and sensitive, very inspiring one.
I know I made it more “cliché” standard and less mysterious to my ears, but that’s what I had to add anyway, it’s ok.

_________________________________________________________

This one’s a more standard track, with bass, guitar, drums and an overdub of accordina.
I performed over @howthenightcame ‘s track Howthenightcame – C-disquiet0430-ryan-scott-mattingly
That was his duo over @ryanscottmattingly ‘s Ryanscottmattingly – Rabbit-food-disquiet0429
I played standard rhythm section (upright bass) over the basic guitar+drum track, then added an Accordina improvisation over it.
It’s nice, melancholic, it was a pleasure for me, cheers

Some experimentations for the Junto challenge, Winter 2020

Posted by admin under DedeLand Music News, music (No Respond)

Some tracks , experimentations and essays I contributed to the weekly junto challenges during January, February and March 2020:

 

let’s call this a mess, a collage or an impromtu montage.
It was fun.

Members of the choir, in order of appearance:

@zeromeaning
Analog
@analoc
@vonna-wolf
@bassling-1
@Northwoods
@Howthenightcame
@ikjoyce
@michel-banabila
@paulchristophrose
Myself

I added orchestral percussions and several synths

Challenge:
Create a piece of choral music from the provided samples. You are encouraged to make music that feels “human,” that feels like it is simply a lot of people singing at once. However, of course, the end result is up to you; you can and should mix, mash, and create as you please.


Twenty steps to the moon.
I usually take the assignment quite seriously, the challenge is the main point for me.
So excuse me to take a free interpretation this week.
The “theme” comes from the upcoming [20+20](www.instagram.com/20x20_project/) mini album I did for @audio-obscura-music ‘s netlabel. I used a rejected variation (the 21st one) from the 20 variations, 20 seconds each, I recorded
I expanded it using a project I’ve been working on these past few days, whose working title coincidentally was “Lunar Soundscape”. I used the 20 sec tracks and the Lunar tracks (not in the same key or tempo, but nobody cares, right?) and combined and moved them all to make this 2 minute lunar vignette.
You’ll hear:
Synthesizers
Ronroco
Fretless Bass

Disquiet Junto Project 0420: Luna Tick
The Assignment: Make music that proceeds according to the phases of the moon, in celebration of Lunar New Year.


Upright piano, synthesizers.
Recorded @ Paris and Buenos Aires over the years…
Created for:
**Disquiet Junto Project 0428: Urban Moss**
*Step 1: Consider how many concert posters have spent time on an old telephone pole before being torn down or succumbing to the elements. Think about the wear on the wood, the rust on the vestigial staples, as time has passed.
*Step 2: Record a short piece of music that pays tribute to the accumulated echoes of past concerts promoted here over the years.*
