naviarhaiku471 – Evening sky
Evening sky,
the silhouettes of farmers in their fields
deepen.

(translated by James Abrams)

A wandering poet and ascetic Zen priest, Santōka was a disciple of Ogiwara Seisensui, one of the first poets to discard the traditional use of the 5-7-5 structure in haiku.

Santōka’s poetry emphasizes the necessity of sabi (solitude) in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment and serenity.

Seven days to make music in response to the assigned haiku: to participate visit https://www.naviarrecords.com/about/naviar-haiku

Deadline: 18th January 2023

Evening sky (naviarhaiku471)

This week's Disquiet Junto project is to use the rhythm of rain in a pipe as the foundation for a piece of music. I piped (hoho) the audio into three frequency bands and trigger a different synth note when each band gets over a certain volume. The lowest frequency band is the lowest synth note and so on. I'll put more on lines, link at the bottom.

Ill be your doomslayer
Step forth and try to face me
The living desolater
overwhelming forces purge the weak

Ill be your twisted saviour
Send you back to abyss
No you can't fuck with this
I'll be your doomslayer
Immortal war entity

Desecrate the lands 
Upon which we walk
A scene of the battles
and the wars we fought

Remember that time
in the world
Where we used to be calm
Now it's fucked 
This is hell

Demons of the night
gunna wish they aint spawned
Gunna smash up, with a blasta, never had ta get back up
and now you fucking with the masta

Ill be your doomslayer

Ill be your doomslayer

Deromanticizing (disquiet0584)

SC #287 - Bloxbeats - All I'm Saying - What's New

I spent all day re-organising my modular, and realised that the best way was to create a 'side instrument' in the smaller box- which I thought of like a VCS3, with joystick, poorly tracking oscillators and spring reverb, but without the pin matrix.  The idea is to get me out of my comfort zone and force a different workflow.  I used this box to create a tuned-by-ear drone, which I then played hands-on the synth for filter sweeps, levels, and feedback controlling - things I normally automate (I usually patch the modular to play itself as much as possible, and then play other keyboards over it).

Give In To The Drone (disquiet0589)

More on this 600th weekly Disquiet Junto project, Reaching Out (The Assignment: This is a shared sample project. Rework a set of seven WAV files provided by Marcus Fischer), at: https://disquiet.com/0600/

For this gently remixed take on Marcus Fischer's sample set I stayed almost completely within the limits of the SP-404 mkii with a little extra arrangement in Bitwig at the end.
