Disquiet Junto 0191 Held Chord



I really enjoyed hearing the result of this Junto, where the idea was to use a single chord across multiple instruments.

I cheated, I think. My result used a MIDI'd chord and sampled instruments but I really liked hearing the chord progress seamlessly through a baker's dozen playing E.

The idea was that the range of the instrument would determine the order. I ended up recording the parts and then arranging them by ear.

Disquiet Junto 0189 Tone Layer



After having a break I felt a bit rusty getting back to the Junto but the assignment this week wasn't too demanding.

I decided to record the bass guitar but soon found I had to create very short loops to sustain the tones. The notes were going to be in the key of A but once in Live I dropped the root down six steps.

The rumbling bit was good, I'd like more of that. But, in hindsight, I wish I'd used a different instrument. I think human voice would've been better, as I always enjoy making vocal drones for Juntos -- although I rarely end up using those tracks on the albums I compile.
