"Take one held tone and make it dance slowly." (Disquiet0631) by Nate Trier published on 2024-02-06T01:29:53Z This week's Disquiet Junto prompt was "Take one held tone and make it dance slowly." I thought this would be challenging, but really it all came together very quickly! I thought about what dancing means (motion?) and tried to imagine ways a long held tone could "move" slowly. I came up with three main ways: 0:00 - 0:53 - a slowly moving bandpass filter followed by Abletons' stock Echo plug-in (the resonance of the filter immediately introduces an overtone that is not the held note, but hey don't blame me I didn't invent physics) 0:54 - 1:18 - Using a vibrato plug-in at about 50% wet/dry to slowly move the tone and town by cents 1:19 - 2:33 - Using tremolo to add a lot of motion - the tone is doubled, panned L and R, and tremolo'd at different rates to make it dance across the stereo field (the slowness of the dancing is debatable here, but the intent is there!) 2:34 - 2:58 - This is the opening phrase of the piece, but accompanied by an echo blast from the tremolo'd section that fades out All in all, a ton of fun! I never in a million years would have tried something like, so this was a great experiment. * * * * * * More on this 631st weekly Disquiet Junto project, In a Silent Waveform — The Assignment: Take one held tone and make it dance slowly — at: https://disquiet.com/0631/ About the Disquiet Junto: https://disquiet.com/junto/ Subscribe to project announcements: https://tinyletter.com/disquiet-junto/ Project discussion takes place on llllllll.co: https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0631-in-a-silent-waveform/ Genre Electronic
