The Disquiet Junto project this week has a few steps:
Step 1: Think about your artistic practice.
Step 2: Write down one sentence that in some manner describes your artistic practice.
Step 3: Record yourself, or someone else, reading the sentence that resulted from Step 2.
I recorded myself with an old iPhone saying the line shown to the top-right of my blog, hear below.
When I imported the video into Ableton Live I noticed there was a considerable click at the end, which saved me from having to manipulate a transient to produce a kick sound.
Then I picked a couple of ess-y bits for other percussive sounds, looping them and adding Live's Beatrepeat to gate them.
I also looped the word "sample," pitching it down and adding a filtered EQ, as well as the word "looping," which was pitched up and also EQ'd.
I looked for a few extended vowel sounds, to pitch up and create harmonic progression.
These weren't grabbing me, so I added Live's resonator and a Sinevibes' effect that is a great shortcut for this sorta thing.
