My second excursion into the Disquiet Junto challenge.

The instructions: use five of the supplied twenty samples; do whatever you want to them; turn them into a palindrone.

I expected there would be a lot of drones made from lengthening the samples and applying various effects to them. I also figured a lot of them would focus on the lower sonic registers. So I approached the task from another direction.

I used the 5 shortest samples and set them on individual tracks in Audition in random starting points within a one minute timeframe. I “tweaked” the volume envelopes in a “random” order organized around the number 6. I played the mixed 56 seconds in a loop 6 times and recorded it in a Line6 DL4 set to 1/2 speed (24 seconds). Then I recorded 6 minutes of the DL4 loop into a new Audition session – once at the recorded 1/2 speed (now normal) and once at normal speed (now at double the pitch). Those tracks were mixed to stereo and then compressed to half the length. Then I made the palindrone and then excerpted the middle three minutes.

The samples came from Thomas Park – they’re here, if you’re curious about them.
