Express Lane To Nirvana (disquiet0301) by Glenn Sogge published on 2017-10-05T20:12:43Z My track for this week's Disquiet Junto challenge (#301). I used all 10 tracks (see below) with a 30-second window for each track to be the most predominant one playing. This was all run through a strange mixer, a couple of Reaktor FX modules, mid-side equalization, and a stereo widener/imager. Disquiet Junto Project 0301: Parts > Sum Artfully reduce an album to something less than itself. Step 1: Download the album 5 Minute Meditations by Lee Rosevere. It’s available here from the record label Happy Puppy Records: https://goo.gl/Wn5t1r Step 2: The album has 11 tracks. You’ll be focused solely on tracks 1 through 10. Review the material to get a sense of the music. Step 3: Create a five-minute track of your own using audio extracted from each of the first 10 tracks on the album 5 Minute Meditations. Important: The goal for your track is that while it will contain material from all of those 10 tracks, the end result (the sum) will be less than total of the constituent parts. In other words, your own 5 Minute Meditation will take Rosevere's source ambient recordings and produce from them something even more ethereal, more ambient, more artfully threadbare.

Delicate yet defined. 2017-10-08T23:01:22Z Comment by Glenn Sogge @rumblin_cynth_rampo: Thanks, Gwen. 2017-10-06T09:29:04Z Comment by Rumblin_Cynth_Rampo Fabulous Glenn. Really like what you have done with those 10 tracks. Thanks for the description of the very interesting technique you used. 2017-10-06T07:58:28Z Comment by halF unusuaL Sounds nicely stringy and voicey which I didn't get in the same way from the original 2017-10-05T20:26:51Z
