Jonesin’ for Some Slapdash (disquiet0347)
Those whose beats and songs were mangled,
https://soundcloud.com/plusch/slapdash-disquiet0346?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0346 was the basis from last week
https://soundcloud.com/gbel/sample-jonzies-disquiet0345?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0345 were the beats added this week
https://soundcloud.com/mtnviewmark-bits/0345-br-beat-disquiet0345?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0345 were the original beats in Plusch’s song

Extra Bonus Round! Wasn’t expecting partie trois but still had some ideas floating around to get me started. I enjoyed Plusch’s Slapdash with the added bonus of using MtnviewMark’s br-beats, a kit I had originally pulled down for the first week. The combination of these two gave me a nice space to work in. I also enjoyed Gbel’s kit and imagined a little modular beat sneaking into the mix.

After a hurried late night download, all of these were G-drived to the iPad and the fun began. Gbel’s sounds were chopped and brought into Patterning 2 for ease of playing as Cubasis seems to choke on large amounts of individual hits if any effects are in the chain. Maybe just my aging gear/pad?

Next, Plusch’s piece was brought in and checked for bpm (100 bpm it seemed) and copied into two tracks. I also ended up doing some slicing and rearranging of measures, but nothing too drastic I hope. There are two Patterning beat tracks that change positions throughout.
The first melodic track is eq’d with a small Duplicat tape delay/flutter and some panning automation. The second melodic track is eq’d and is sent to Replicant2 for some increasingly crazy repeat/stutter/scatter.
The beat tracks are two individual patterns with different drum hits, with one eq’d to roll off the bottom end. The only effects, panning, delay and verb, are in the Patterning mixer. I really thought the low roll into a snare(?) on the sixth hit was nice, so it was used for as a sort of bass line.
There is some transposing scattered about, both for dynamic width and for the coming step.
Increase in tempo. Not much(a 15 bpm increase), just a little frantic energy boost to reinforce the title and feeling intended. But Cubasis is meh with time shifting, and I thought a bit of DJ effecting could be fun, so it was mixed down and sent to Algoriddim’s djay 2. Tempo increases are easy, sound good and all the turntable staples are all there. Fortunately for everyone involved, I’m a craptastic dj and gave up on effects quickly. You can thank me later :-)
A round trip to Cubasis for one more part, two of the up tempo tracks were created with a minor panning differential and only one receiving a guitar plate ADVERB2 send. Oh, and this track was also offset 1/64 note ahead, just for more sonic confusion!
Tried to incorporate all in the title and art this week, but couldn’t figure how to get br-beat in there, apologies to Mtnview Mark, and everybody else for that matter.
See what happens when you post your music online…let that be a lesson ;-D
Apologies to all :-O let me know if it needs to go!
