I was so excited to add some 808’s to it with vocals recorded on SM7B with the Roland DJ 808. With an EQ rack I built in live with heavy ducks in the 30-250 Hz range.
I first played thru the track with the 808 with the following programing with a min BPM of 20 and max of 222.2
909-3/7/13
808 3/8/13
707 2/3/7/11/12/15
606 1/3/4/12/16
I then in a separate session recorded the vocals with the same patterns. I created a few loops of the vocals I liked in separate clips.
I grouped with some compression added effects prior to routing to the main mix.
I then combined with the instance I created with the 808’s. I then played thru the session in Live 10.
Disquiet Junto Project 0369: Final Solo
The Assignment: Record the final third of a trio, adding to a pre-existing track, based itself on a prior pre-existing track.
Step 1: This week’s Disquiet Junto project is the third in a sequence that explores and encourages asynchronous collaboration. This week you will be adding music to a pre-existing track, which you will source from the previous week’s Junto project (disquiet.com/0368). Note that you are finishing a trio: you’re creating the third part of what two previous musicians created. Keep this in mind.
Step 2: The plan is for you to record a short and original piece of music, on any instrumentation of your choice, as a complement to a pre-existing track. First, however, you must select the piece of music to which you will be adding your own music. There are more than 50 tracks in all to choose from, most as part of this SoundCloud playlist:
https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0368
To select a track, you can listen through all that and choose one, or you can use a random number generator. (Note: it’s perfectly fine if more than one person uses the same original track as the basis for their piece.)
Step 3: Record a short piece of music, roughly the length of the piece of music you selected in Step 2. The source track should have one musical line running in the left channel and another in the right. You should pan your addition, the final third of this trio, in the center. When composing and recording your part, do not alter the original pieces of music at all. To be clear: the track you upload won’t be your piece of music alone; it will be a combination of the track from Step 2 and yours.
Background: One concept behind this project is “triadic awareness,” which comes from an idea I learned about when I was reading a book by Frans de Waal, the primate scientist. The concept correlates nicely with such ideas as “ambient awareness” and “parallel productivity” that have long been underlying concepts in the Disquiet Junto projects. Writing with Molly Embree, de Waal has defined “triadic awareness” as “the ability to understand relationships of others independently of one’s own involvement.”
Deadline: This project’s deadline is Monday, January 28, 2019, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are on. It was posted in the afternoon, California time, on Thursday, January 24, 2019.
