Disquiet Junto Project 0412: One Chord Wonder
The Assignment: Play an extended chord where the instrumentation of each note changes as the piece proceeds.
---

For this assignment, I took a broader approach to "chord" by splitting a sound into various frequencies.

I've been closely following the news on the devastating bushfires in eastern Australia. One of the quotes that really struck me was from a beekeeper who, while surveying the remnants of his hives, noted that the "forest was screaming". If you wanted to sum up the bushfires in three words, that was it.

I started off by recording the tree outside my house, then I took a 6sec section and slowed it down by 800%. From there, I used the graphic equaliser to narrow down to various frequencies, approximating a chord.

Layer 1: Base recording + Moscow resonator
Layer 2: Base recording at 500hz, panned left
Layer 3: Base recording + 250hz, panned right
Layer 4: Base recording + 1k-2k, with Around The Head pan effect + Spacebirds flanger + Replika delay + Dominator distortion
Layer 5: Recording of a fire
Layer 6: Original recording of the tree
