Fried sines and crackling [disquiet326] by Tuonela

I generated 3 x 2 second sine waves of 111 hz, 333 hz and 666 hz. These were then drawn out and broken apart using Audacity, mixed together, reverbed and balanced in order to create a sort of sine-drone thunderscape. Then a Freesound recording (see below) of turntable and vinyl surface noise was edited, likewise broken apart and reverbed and mixed in. It was multi-tracked, then each was reverbed at different levels and also eq’d to enhance both bass and treble.

Disquiet Junto Project 0326: Wave Turntable
In collaboration with composer Danny Clay, make music for his exhibit with artist Jon Fischer using only sine waves and turntable surface noise.

Step 1: Tracks in this project will be played as part of a free event in San Francisco at the McEvoy Foundation for the Arts (mcevoyarts.org) on Saturday, April 7, 2018, for an exhibit by composer Danny Clay (dclaymusic.com) and artist Jon Fischer (feather2pixels.com). The project was developed in collaboration with Clay. Before proceeding, consider the sort of music that might be conducive as partially-heard, partially-background music for an art event.

Step 2: Compose a short piece of music using only sine waves and the surface sounds of vinyl played on a turntable. Those two sources are inspirations for the Clay/Fischer exhibit. (The cover image to this project shows some of Fischer’s turntable art.)
