The 12th Wave...
The stems of this were recorded the day after 9/11. (Guitar, and a Guitar Synth). Very mildly remastered. Surprised I never put it up anywhere.

A remix of something from ~10 years ago...
-
the last dance (10 year remaster)

the fisher's mark [disquiet600]
Downloaded the seven source tracks (samples by Marcus Fischer). Didn't modify/manipulate any of the initial stem sounds all that much. (Chose to make a "stir fry" instead of a "casserole" when it came to remixing these pieces). For Disquiet600:...

Purgatory [disquiet0496-isolation-room]
Been trying to figure out the Elektron Digitakt, with mixed success. Picked up where I left off a few months ago with a sample set that wasn't 'gelling', threw out all but one of the samples (the first you hear) and then retried it in a new track, with a few other newly chosen samples. This is…

strangers in the night [disquiet0453]
"It was all going so well at first, but then the ship's computers started talking to each other..." For Disquiet #0453: https://disquiet.com/2020/09/03/disquiet-junto-project-0453-dial-up/ The track was done in Ableton Live, but all the sounds are sampled from various and sundry Korg Volcas and a...

copper and lead [disquiet0339-rude mechanicals]
approached this very loosely.. a mix of "metallic" synths, chaotic lines, and processing. (the coincidence of the name vs mine is not lost on me...) For https://disquiet.com/2018/06/28/disquiet-junto-project-0339-rude-mechanicals/

QUADRIPLEXIA [disquiet0338]
downloaded the four one-minute samples. didnt modify the samples all that much... cut, snip, clone, pitchshift as needed, minor effects... and cut up. For Disquiet Junto #0338: https://disquiet.com/2018/06/21/disquiet-junto-project-0338-imaginary-quartet/ Original tracks by: Ikjoyce, Audio…

the synodic blues [disquiet0292]
the last eclipse near me in the US was back in 1984. Layered many Korg soft synths. Because... 80s. Welcome to the future. For Disquiet #0292: https://disquiet.com/2017/08/03/disquiet-junto-project-0292-eclipse-music/

the diogenes filter [disquiet0291]
Took this quite literally. Looked at the spectrum of LED warm indoor house lighting. That in Hz is roughly E-flat/D-sharp. Made several pad/deep flute drones in that tone. The "ribs" of the lantern housing is a comb filter. The 'ambient glow': shimmery delays/reverbs, focused on the core tone.…
