Disquiet Junto Project 0270: Just Duet
Record the second half of a duet.
@Plusch: piano
DD: melodica

Sorry I didn’t follow the suggested lottery method, when checking out the many wonderful contributions to 0269 I just downloaded the ones that inspired/tempted me and started working on some during my free time this past week, before the actual project was posted.
I already finished 2 and have 2 more recorded, needing editing.
As the first duet (Ya Wha? ‘s Bare Metal duet https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz/bare-metal-dressed) has already been posted I go for this one for the actual playlist (it’s just one per capita one each project, right Marc?)

I duet with plusch here, he’s on piano (https://soundcloud.com/plusch/up-in-the-air-disquiet0269) I added a melodica part, then tried a second take to have the choice, and inspired by one of those creative mistakes that often happen, decided to keep both takes (in the A/B process of choosing take1 vs. take2 I un-soloed both and liked the results, the low register take1 coexists with the hi register take2 on the second half)

Delay and reverb and a pitch shift to double take 1 one octave lower is all the processing here.

Thanks @PLUSCH for the inspiring Erik-Satiesque piano.

Disquiet Junto Project 0270: Just Duet
Step 1: This week’s project builds on last week’s. Last week 40 musicians each recorded one half of a duet live. This week you will record (again, live) the other half of the duet for one of those pre-existing tracks. It’s preferable that you come upon the selection by random. You can generate a random number any way you choose, from 1 to 40. This link will give you a random integer within that range
