APOB - Stefogam [disquiet0254] by APOB

Disquiet Junto Project 0254: Fog and Steam
Make music from two provided samples.

This weeks project was a little more challenging then usual. I used only the two samples offered for the project, these were manipulated in a variety of ways, chopped, stretched, looped and processed through various plugins and some outboard gear.

The "heartbeat" was taken from the train horn sample, filtered out the top end leaving something reminiscent of a heartbeat, looped it and used as the basic pulse of the track.

I knew immediately what I wanted to do with the fog horn, give it some rhythm with Tantra, then delayed and filtered to create a rhythmic backdrop.

I used a retuned section of the train horn as a repeating chord wash.

Tantra and Ramses where used to create a "beat" from the noisy tail end of the fog horn sample which was run through Orange Vocoder to give it some pitch.

A single cycle from the train horn sample was used to create two synth sounds, a bass and a lead. I used Audjoo Helix for both.

For the 254th weekly project, we’re going to revisit the second project, from back in early January 2012.

Step 1: Download these two samples:

Fog Horn: http://www.freesound.org/people/schaarsen/sounds/69663/

Train Whistle: http://www.freesound.org/people/ecodios/sounds/119963/

Step 2: Create an original piece of music utilizing just those samples from Step 1. You can only use those two samples, and you can do whatever you want with them.
