Un Bosque Austral (disquiet0543) by Daniel Diaz published on 2022-05-27T08:41:45Z For this challenge: Disquiet Junto Project 0543: Technique Check The Assignment: Share a tip from your method toolbox: Think of some technique — small or larger, simple or complex — that you employ when making music. Hi, "rhythmic delays" is my technique for this junto. This is something I use a lot, this is not the most abusive example of it, but it's really important for this track, and peculiar cause it's all acoustic instruments (I do use this a lot on electric guitars) I recorded this one last year on an "hotel room" setup, I had my laptop, a great microphone and a very good audio interface, a small requinto, an harmonica, some hand percussion and a soprano ukulele. Back home I decided to finish a second track that I did release earlier this year but this one stayed on the vault, unused, unfinished. The use of my technique of rhythmic delays is more prominent as the track advances, I set up a couple of delay lines (mostly straight 1/8th notes, a 1/4th note echo and a syncopated dotted 1/8th notes one. I add more delay as the track progresses and gradually augment the feedback. It's quite simple and effective. And it gives a weird "robotic" feel to a pure acoustic performance. Comments are welcome (this is one of those tracks that could remain in my vault for decades, and I appreciate that the junto challenges push me to revisit it and just share it) Genre acoustic intrumental Comment by Fake Genius lovely 2022-05-31T14:57:21Z Comment by LazenbeeIndustries very evocative, would make a great opening track for a john sayles movie! 2022-05-31T10:24:19Z Comment by Jimmy Lem I hink the delays create quite an organic beautiful gauze aroung the melody and instrumentation. 2022-05-30T17:45:02Z Comment by RabMusicLab It is great how all the delays add up, but the sound isn't messed up at all. You didn't exaggerate, it is a wonderful track! 2022-05-30T08:47:04Z Comment by tetkik ve tedavi excellent, should not stay in the vault! 2022-05-28T11:00:06Z Comment by how the night came your delay trick is lovely, daniel - I'm going to try it myself 2022-05-27T09:15:19Z
