Temporal Distortion (disquiet0553)

This started as a generative modular patch run with a varying clock. The results were kinda wallpapery and the tempo shifts not that obvious, I needed something with a steady pulse to give context and contrast. I dug out an old drumloop from a project from 10 years ago which I abandoned cuz I wasn’t happy with the rigidity of the beat. I had the file playing while adjusting the tempo of the modular track. This led to a warbly tape like effect that reminded me of badly wound cassettes where the b-side would faintly bleed through More on this 553rd weekly Disquiet Junto project — Break That Cycle (The Assignment: Record in a steady tempo but break it on occasion) — at: https://disquiet.com/0553/ More on the Disquiet Junto at: https://disquiet.com/junto/ Subscribe to project announcements here: https://tinyletter.com/disquiet-junto/ Project discussion takes place on llllllll.co: https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0553-break-that-cycle/ The image shows a detail of a mural painted by the artist Pablo “Raíz” Ruiz Arroyo at the record store Noise in San Francisco.
