[disquiet0429] marc behind the kit, take #6 by how the night came

to thank disquiet for his tireless efforts in bringing us all together, i decided to incorporate his name and the title of his project into my first trio contribution.

i converted “marc weidenbaum disquiet junto 0429” into morse code and then spread the patterns across a jazz drum kit in ableton.

“marc” plays the kick drum. it starts in bar one and loops every one and a quarter bars.
“weidenbaum” plays randomly across the open hi hat / closed hi hat / snare. it starts in bar thirteen and loops every three bars.
“disquiet” plays the floor tom. it starts in bar five and loops every two and one sixteenth bars.
“junto” plays randomly across the mid and hi mounted toms. it starts in bar nine and loops every two and a quarter bars.
“0429” plays the 18 inch crash cymbal (with less than 50% probablilty). it starts in bar seventeen and loops every two and five eighths of a bar.

because of the random elements i built into ableton, i exported several takes because i wanted marc’s drum solo to finish brightly, with a little snare work. this is take #6. 90bpm. it peaks around -3.5dB. I never hard pan drums, and the individual pieces of the kit are spread across the stereo field, but if anyone wants to use this next week, feel free to pan, mangle, destroy in whatever way you see fit.

marc I don’t know if you’ve ever played the drums - but you kinda did today!!
