Disquiet Junto 0283 Rooms Within Rooms



  1. Record the inherent sound, the room tone, of three different rooms. Label them A, B, and C.
  2. Create three distinct ambient beds from the rooms by editing the source material down. Label the ambient beds A, B, and C to align them with the source rooms. Don’t add any other effects or sonic material.
  3. Create a loose song structure alternating two of the rooms as verse (bed A) and chorus (bed B), and dropping in the third room (bed C) as a bridge at some point. The full piece should be about three minutes long.
  4. Go back into the audio and into each bed add tiny elements from the other source rooms. In other words, in the verse (bed A, based on room A), insert elements from room B and room C. Do this as well for bed B (with elements from room A and room C) and bed C (with elements from room A and B).

For the Junto this week I used a FMR RNP and Rode NT4 to record different rooms, picking up passing cars and galahs and the creaking of the fireplace to structure into a song.
