haiku #407: quickening wind / every leaf of the turning maple / in tune

Hi and welcome to the 5th track by "Then She Reaches For The Gun". Huge thanks to all the artists involved…. so much variety, craziness, originality and musicianship.

The project’s inspiration is two fold: Firstly its a homage to some of the stuff i grew up listening to like Mr. Bungle and other noisy bastards where anything goes, and often in quick fire succession and secondly it’s a chance to work with an never ending stream of talented musicians that i have known for years either in real life Australia or via the Internet. Each track has changed of course, depending of who has sent me what.

This piece is titled “When all this is over I am off To Madrid to seek mentorship In the traditional art of Pet Flamenco"


Its starting point was a wonderful field recording sent to me by Raöulfr Maganhar of him teaching Flamenco singing to his cat Yoda and his dog  Hacho, its gorgeous and hilarious as both respond vocally. The madness organically expanded either side of the file from there. 

"When all this is over I am off To Madrid to seek mentorship In the 
 traditional art of Pet Flamenco" features the following artists

Dane Renshaw - Drums
ElectroTrek - Vibey Synth
Timothy Korstad - Electronica
TexMex Shaman - Talk Box
holy shitshow - Piano
Chicago Word Brigade - Electronica/Keyboards
Raöulfr Maganhar - Field Recordings/ Flamenco Instruction 
muterial -Electronica
Dough Factory - Electronica
W:I:L-o’ the-wisp - Double Bass
Ariad Music- Clarinet/Percussion
The Windscale Blues Experiment - Saxophones
Thomas Bergheim - Bass/Guitar/Electric Guitar
Hverheij - Electronica
Agnostura Elwar - B-ARP2600, B-Crave, Roland D70, Roland Gaia.
Bellai Pelegrim - Electronica
Hacho - Barking/Growling/Whining
Yoda - Meowing/Purring

me - Noise/Rhythms/Arrangement


If you would like to be part of this ongoing project….(and you know I want you to)

The process is simple, I collect a bunch of random recordings from people and then see what i can arrange from it. Nothing subtle here, just huge noisy fun : ) I am open to anyone that thinks they might like to be part of this mess. Drop me a message and i will send you my email. The only criteria is that i wont be using samples from TV/film/other music etc, so just original stuff played on instruments, field recordings, stupid drunk conversations etc.

 Cheers,
 Mat

Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/JZINoToYr-o I dusted off my dear video camera and filmed places around Assisi countryside, collecting a lot of images from the less traveled points of view, (Proust's pages on Martinville steeples are always a great inspiration).

Wind turning leaf (Naviar Haiku 407 Rumblin Cynth Rampo)

This week's haiku, by Mark Miller, inspired my improvisation (in C major), played on Lea Bertucci Acoustic Shadows VST synth (by Spitfire Audio). Recorded and mixed in Reaper, with Timeless2 added. Mastered with CloudBounce.

The Turning Maple (naviarhaiku407)

A track for Naviar Records weekly Haiku challenge; seven days in which to produce a piece in response to the haiku posted. For the lead brass instruments I used Audiomodelling's SWAM Flugelhorn and Eb Flugelhorn. I also experimented with some live percussion playing my Korean Jangu. My idea was that the wind instruments represent the wind of the poem and the percussion, the falling leaves.
