Vonna Layering Vonna Permutations DisquietJunto0352 by Vonna Wolf

For this weeks contribution I utilized a Roli songmaker kit and the Noise application to create a melody that I played with the keys and a 2nd variation with the block. I only played F;A; Bb;Eb in different variations with in the melody. I used the same colors with in the block to build the melody. I then exported this to Abelton where I utilized clip mode to duplicate a few of the clips and modify the tempo and tone of them. I then played thru the variations in multiple layers. I then EQ'd a few of the tracks independently prior to melding them together. I hope you enjoy.
Disquiet Junto Project 0352: Layering Permutations
The Assignment: Play something melodic atop two variations.

Step 1: The idea is to have a simple melody of some sort, and to then have two variations on that melody play simultaneous with it. The key word here is “melody.”

Step 2: Come up with a melody, and then come up with means to create variations on it. Think of the variations as permutations of the melody. Try to have the variations not veer too far from the original. As you develop the variations, think about relative balance between the three layers.

Step 3: Record a short piece of music in which the three layers are stacked atop each other. You might perform the layers separately and then combine them, or you might have a means for them to play simultaneously. You might have the balance between the tracks remain static throughout, or you may change relative volume at times.
Step 3: Upload your track. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your track.

Step 4: Post your track in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:
