_disquiet0326 by ¶radio hummingbird

this is ¶radio hummingbird’s contribution to this week’s disquiet junto with the serial number 0326. in short, the requirement for this contribution was to create a piece created only by vinyl crackles and music made from sine waves. the track is a collaboration between the disquiet junto and the artists danny clay and jon fischer.

for this track, i utilised my little travel eurorack modular synth kit plus the infamous "field kit".
using a tiny computer fan and recording its electromagnetic crackling sounds with a special pick-up mic all the crackles have been recorded by myself with a little extra help of some down-sampled crackling field recordings through the "radio music" module. having several thousand old vinyl records in storage overseas, unfortunately in the latitudes i am currently residing access to real vinyl and associated playback devices is almost non-existent. for this reason, i had to be a little creative in creating sounds which could as well be real vinyl crackles.
the sine waves have been created by the befaco "even vco" and the 2hp "osc" modules. both outputs have been filtered separately, inverted, cross-modulated on several occasions and sent through a spring reverb and delay just to be mixed with a sum of their pure out signals in the final signal chain.
light mastering in ableton live and this is it.......please enjoy what you hear........
