The noise was a bit like the Plover and that sounds like an angry rubbe...
Disquiet Junto 0305 Three Princes
The Junto this week asks for three loops of different lengths drawn from an archive of Sri Lankan music, then made into a song.
My loops came from "Aadarayai_Karunawai" and "Sri_Maha_Bodhimulehi" and "Umba_Kiya_Kiya" but they ended up being relatively in sync.
When I settled on these samples I was using a different percussion part from the last of those songs, which had a 6/8 riff.
Then I got tired of the musical part over the top of that rhythm and found there was a 5/4 break in the track, so I settled on using it.
After doing this I looked at the other two loops, a horn I think and three bell chimes, tweaked their lengths only a little and found they were 20 beats, 10 beats and the drums were 5 beats.
Then I started a drum part to accompany them and realised it was 4/4, which was a shock as the bass part I'd been jamming on was 3/4 and a bit similar to 'Money' by Pink Floyd.
So I played the bass a bit more and found a kinda disco part that seemed good for a chorus.
