Welcome Little One - disquiet0250 Disquiet Junto Project 0250: Soothing Sounds for Junto Make some peaceful music for an infant child. This project finds me re-editing and mixing tracks I composed and recorded last year for a film that needed some “clear”, “transparent” and “crystalline” music according to director. So I went for a sample instrument called Glass Works from Soniccouture that I ended up using quite a lot, samples from “translucent” glass instruments such as Chamber Bowls, Cristal Baschet and Glass Harmonica. https://soundcloud.com/soniccouture I kept the same template yesterday night and build this Welcome! sound to Karin and Bruce’s sweetheart, wishing them all a lot of happiness. Basic tracks are: -Cristal Baschet (arpeggio) -Bowls (w/mallets) -Glass Harmonica -Bowed bowls pad So the basic track is full midi. Then I added my beloved Accordina (start @ 0:34) and (bassist me) a pizzicato upright bass section (6 overdubs of the same basic bass part to make it sound like a bass orchestra). I thought this was a bad idea, (removing the aerial mood and giving some rhythmic root) but today it seems good. Still, at 3AM I added some “Vangelis” noises and cutoff falls ‘cause something in the sound reminds me the Love Theme from Blade Runner, so I tried to imitate those unique “ffffsshhhh” sound Vangelis masters. I also thought this was a bad idea and now, the morning after I can confirm. It’s actually number 37 in my list “50 worst ideas of 2016” But can’s get to the studio to remove it now, so here it goes, lets support some bad ideas from time to time, shall we? A magic moment is at 01:05 when the glass harmonica takes the lead playing the melody the Accordina just played (and accordina starts improvising) , both timbre sound so alike that it’s amazing, such disparate instruments.
