disquiet0330 HVAC Drone, Slide And A Little Piano Rauchenberg Erased by rizzi

In reply to the 330th !!!! Disquiet Junto project, I recomposed a recent piece - https://soundcloud.com/rizzi/hvac-drone-slide-and-a-little-piano

The task was to erase parts of the original composition, and I did so with Ableton Spectral Filter. Nothing much, but after experimenting with a bunch of different approaches I ended up there over and over, so I left it at that.
I often think about how to apply techniques and tools from visual art into my pieces... Collage, layering, filtering, rearranging and manipulating reality etc. So this project was right down my alley.

Disquiet Junto Project 0330: Wax Off

Make a piece of music by erasing aspects of a pre-existing track.
This project was proposed by frequent Junto participant Zero Meaning.

Step 1: Make a piece of music by erasing aspects of a pre-existing track. You’ll be taking an earlier audio track of your own and reworking it. Select a track. It might help to read through these instructions in full before making the selection.

Step 2: The theme of this project is “erasure.” You will be removing material from the track you selected in Step 1. Consider what “erasure” can mean in terms of sound: removal, texture, fragments, artifacts, etc. What techniques would erasure entail?

Step 3: Apply the concepts and techniques you came up with in Step 2 to the track you selected in Step 1. The new track should remain the same length as the source track. That is, the canvas is to be the same, and only the contents are to be altered. One additional note: even if multitracks/stems are available, they shouldn’t be employed for this project; only the “final” version of the track from Step 1 can be used for this project.

Six More Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0330” (no spaces or quotation marks) in the name of your track.

Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag “disquiet0330” (no spaces or quotation marks). If you’re posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to subsequent location of tracks for the creation a project playlist.

Step 3: Upload your track. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your track.

Step 4: Please consider posting your track in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:

Step 5: Annotate your track with a brief explanation of your approach and process.

Step 6: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.
