Bare Metal (disquiet0269) by Ya Wha? published on 2017-02-28T01:09:50Z Disquiet Junto Project 0269: Duet Portion This week’s Junto will be the first in an occasional series allowing for asynchronous collaboration. You will be recording something with the understanding that it will be unfinished. I played the synth part at the start of the track - it's just an FM wavetable with the wave index swept by an LFO in the new Synthmaster One, filter fully open, nothing else going on in the patch. I looped it over a simple drum beat, and noodled on the bass (Aria SB-ELT/RSZ, DI into the computer) for about 10-12 mins. Hit a couple of grooves, which I tried to play in time to the beat. Pulled out the workings-out and took the best bits of each phrase/riff, taking it down to the 3 mins. BPM is 120. Performance wasn't a single take (obviously!), so I didn't really stick to the project brief. But when jamming out something with someone, it takes a while to work something out - you bounce off their stuff, and they bounce off you... This is the lopsided product of that process. Genre Ambient Comment by Ya Wha? @deusexmamiya: Thanks! Yeah it is easier to be "tuneful" in the higher registers... 2017-03-06T01:37:06Z Comment by DeusExMamiya Nice, unexpected quick rise up the fretboard! 2017-03-06T01:06:57Z Comment by Ya Wha? @pytchblend: Thanks Pytch! That synth part was an accidental discovery thing. I had bought Synthmaster, and had some wavetable wavs lying around on the HD, so I loaded a few. Found this one to be particularly engaging to my ears, and 'blindly' played two notes... All the rest is pinned to that "accidental" synth part... 2017-03-03T11:12:13Z Comment by pytchblend Compelling intro 2017-03-03T10:49:52Z Comment by Ya Wha? @user-651760074: Cool! :-) 2017-02-28T23:42:10Z Comment by Hypoid @yawha: Check your messages ;-) 2017-02-28T23:10:23Z Comment by Ya Wha? @daniel-diaz: Thanks very much Daniel! I really appreciate that... 2017-02-28T10:42:03Z Comment by Ya Wha? @user-651760074: Thank you! Excuse my absence! I offer no excuses... Feel free to take whatever you wish, any time... (y) 2017-02-28T10:41:28Z Comment by Daniel Diaz another one that calls for collaboration, that was the challenge and you did it. Lots of ideas going on in 3 minutes, yet a whole lot of space for duet. Bravo. 2017-02-28T07:57:31Z Comment by Hypoid Glad to hear some more of you bass work! Wish I was more adept at guitar to complement this, maybe some other butchering ;-) Glad to hear you back! 2017-02-28T04:48:46Z
