A Sound Wall Requires A Good Foundation (disquiet0244) by Glenn Sogge

Euro-Mixin
=========

I'm still exploring the world of stretching sounds so what I did was pretty minimal which I hoped would reveal some interesting subtleties hidden in the morass.

I downloaded the requisite tracks, isolated the 20-second clips, and stretched them all out to the same 5:40 length (about 17x). The two loud and continuous tracks were then essentially cross-faded while the quieter and sparser final track was just left as it was.

The Assignment: Combine tracks from three different European netlabels (Portugal, Spain, Switzerland) into one sonic union.

Project Steps:

Step 1: This week’s project is a remix. The following three tracks are available for creative reuse thanks to a Creative Commons license. Please download them and extract the specified source segments:

Use the first 20 seconds of “The Station and the Underclass,” performed by the Phonetic Orchestra, released on the Insub. netlabel based in Geneva:

insub.org/insub44/

Use the first 20 seconds of “Cloud Scissors” composed by Lo Wei; performed by Cristián Alvear, Santiago Astaburuaga, Gudinni Cortina, and Rolando Hernández, released on the Impulsive Habitat netlabel based in Portugal:

Use the first 20 seconds of “Zraerza,” performed by Geeksha Beka and Berio Molina, released on the Al g-a netlabel based in Galicia:

Step 2: Create an original piece of music based on the source audio from Step 1.
