ClayWindChimes Mix1-disquiet0284 by IDXXIII

I cut out three sections from the original file; I deliberately chose areas that included some space between the chiming clay pots.... each of these sections were 2 minutes long (x2) and the other was 1 minute long. I loaded these three files into Aum on my iPhone: one channel ran the audio file at 75% with apeDelay and DubFilter - another channel played at normal speed feeding it's audio into Dedalus and Reverb (Both by Amazing Noises) the third channel played at normal speed with no effects, but with a lower amplitude. This resulting audio recorded from this session was saved and a copy loaded into Borderlands Granualr on the iPad, In Borderlands Granualr I created three clusters of grains, some of which I modulated the pitch and panning, this created the background drone and wind noise. Finally I composited these two pieces together with eq compression and limiting in various amounts.... resulting in the audio here! Please feel free to ask in case I missed out something!

Disquiet Junto Project 0284: Creative Commonfield
Make ambient music from the sound of clay bowls.

Step 1: We’ll be making ambient recordings this week based on source audio from the artist Chris Kallmyer. He recorded the music using bells and bowls he constructed from clay sourced on the banks of the Mississippi River in St. Louis. Download the source audio from here:
https://goo.gl/Jb5CGU15

Note: That file is an MP3. If you’d like to use a larger, higher-fidelity recording, I’ll have it available later today. Just shoot me an email at marc@disquiet.com.
Step 2: The goal is to make recordings that can also be played in the San Francisco gallery FraenkelLAB, where Kallmyer’s work is currently on display as part of the exhibit “Listening Is a Luxury.” I’ll be giving a talk there on Friday, June 16, and I’ll have some of the music audible in the background as well as before and after the talk.

Step 3: Among Kallmyer’s sonic objects made from the St. Louis clay are ceramic bowls. When making a piece of music from the source audio please do the following: (A) use no additional source audio, (B) aim for a sound that is just as gentle as the source audio, (C) consider using stereo effects to reflect the circular shape of the bowls. (Note: I might make an edit of the tracks — a ceramic chime mixtape, as it were — for the event.)
Linking: When posting the track online, please be sure to include this information:
