APOB - Tan Lines (Version 4) [disquiet0350] by APOB

Disquiet Junto Project 0350: Selected Insomniac Works
The Assignment: Make very quiet music for very late at night for very fragile psyches.

This track comes from a group of pieces I made last year. I started with field recordings I'd made on my iPhone. I used Melodyne to convert the field recordings to MIDI and used that as a random starting point.

The substrate of this track is derived from a recoding I made outside a local market. I converted an interesting section of the recording to MIDI and used this to play a Kontakt Piano instrument. I further manipulated the MIDI, quantising, constraining note range and conforming to a specific scale, until I had a pleasing result. I then added some simple melodies and effects. You may notice a repeated note at some points, this was the backing alarm of a delivery truck oddly preserved. :D.
