Temporal shift (disquiet0246)

I used an iPhone app, Blocs Wave for this project. I cobbled together a 4 part guitar and drum loop and played it back at 20, 40, 80 and 120 pm and 440bpm (apparently). I used fade ins and outs on the individual parts and fiddled with the loop end points to create some warbling and jumps and then fed it through some reverb and eq effects. Disquiet Junto Project 0246: Double, Quadruple, Sextuple Compose a piece of music that increases speed in stages as it proceeds. Please pay particular attention to all the instructions below, in light of SoundCloud having closed down its Groups functionality. Big picture: One thing arising from the end of the Groups functionality is a broad goal, in which an account on SoundCloud is not necessary for Disquiet Junto project participation. We’ll continue to use SoundCloud, but it isn’t required to use SoundCloud. The aspiration is for the Junto to become “platform-agnostic,” which is why using a message forum, such as llllllll.co, as a central place for each project can work well. And now, on to this week’s project. Project Steps: Step 1: Per this week’s project number, 0246, the focus is on a sequence of increasing ratios: from doubling (2), to quadrupling (4), to sextupling (6). Step 2: Record a simple, rhythmic piece of music increases speed as it proceeds. First it will double, then it will quadruple, and then it will sextuple. (It can do this once, or it can do it in repeating cycles.) Five More Important Steps When Your Track Is Done: Step 1: Per the instructions below, be sure to include the project tag “disquiet0246” (no spaces) in the name of your track. If you’re posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to my locating the tracks and creating a playlist of them. Step 2: Upload your track. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your track. Step 3: This is a fairly new step, if you’ve done a Junto project previously. In the following discussion thread at llllllll.co post your track: http://llllllll.co/t/double-quadruple-sextuple-music-disquiet-junto-project-0246/4549 Step 4: Annotate your track with a brief explanation of your approach and process. Step 5: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants. Deadline: This project was posted in the morning, California time, on Thursday, September 15, 2016, with a deadline of 11:59pm wherever you are on Monday, September 19, 2016. Length: The length is up to you. Three minutes seems like a good maximum. Title/Tag: When posting your track, please include “disquiet0246” in the title of the track, and where applicable (on SoundCloud, for example) as a tag. Upload: When participating in this project, post one finished track with the project tag, and be sure to include a description of your process in planning, composing, and recording it. This description is an essential element of the communicative process inherent in the Disquiet Junto. Photos, video, and lists of equipment are always appreciated. Download: It is preferable that your track is set as downloadable, and that it allows for attributed remixing (i.e., a Creative Commons license permitting non-commercial sharing with attribution). Linking: When posting the track online, please be sure to include this information: More on this 246th weekly Disquiet Junto project — “Compose a piece of music that increases speed in stages as it proceeds.” — at: http://disquiet.com/0246/ More on the Disquiet Junto at: http://disquiet.com/junto/ Subscribe to project announcements here: http://tinyletter.com/disquiet-junto/ Project discussion takes place on llllllll.co: http://llllllll.co/t/double-quadruple-sextuple-music-disquiet-junto-project-0246/4549 There’s also on a Junto Slack.
