Disquiet Junto 0757 Screen Time

The assignment this week is to "Interpret [a] gauzy window treatment as an audio effect."

My first impulse was to record the guitar set-up I recently plugged together that uses a Chase Bliss Audio Lossy pedal, but my kids are home and I haven't much opportunity to jam to arrive at something worth recording.

So I wasn't sure I'd respond to the Junto, until I watched Hamnet with my daughter last night.

There's a moment after the death of the titular character where he's shown beyond veil of death and it's literally filmed through a dark piece of cloth.

(Hopefully that's not a spoiler for anyone but, frankly, if you didn't already know that the death of Shakespeare's son Hamnet has been thought to have contributed to his play Hamlet then it's probably not a film you'll be watching anyway!)

This led me to ponder whether the window gauze might be something more than a filter or a gate?

Also, this morning my Facebook Memories included the Junto track Beatin' Leeton from six years ago that I thought would be good material to manipulate. 

From there my idea was that going beyond the veil in this case is to use Ableton Live's convert to MIDI functions as a way to go beyond the audio tracks, with bass and drum parts generated with those transcriptions being fed into arpeggiators as well as the aforementioned effects.
