NH114: Where do you come from? / Borders on Earth fall away / As we fly upwards

Shih-Lin Hung: Electroacoustic Etude“Pò”(迫), 06.24, 2024

“Exhaustion is the only form of gentleness I can manage when facing the storm."

”疲憊是我面對風暴時，唯一可以做到的一種溫柔。“

Electroacoustic Etude“Pò”(迫), 06.24, 2024

Three musical episodes, one journey.

Tech notes: Hermod Plus (utilizing TRS MIDI) - utilizing its generator to create random modulations on a clicky groove to start this intro.

The middle episode grew as I experimented with Hermod's TRS MIDI connectivity, reactivated my ancient Korg Trinity for some atmospheric polyphony, and eventually adding a pattern of sevens to taking the vignette out to the meditative coda. 

Here the inbuilt chord function of the RYK Vector Wave provides the basic drone passed thru a bandpass filter so it appears to fade into the distance and return to the fore. Parts of the drone are simultaneously piped thru a Sarajewo delay by periodic gates as I manually swish the frequency to get that unique echoing sound.

The original material is a bit of mystery to me - Cecelia5, FL Studio, PaulXStretch, Reason, Thor, Fracture. To this I added Collision and Massive X & Arturia Fragments. I created this track after organizing the raw material for a future album. This was the second track I completed. I completed the first track yesterday for this week’s Disquiet Junto. 

This original version of "Friction And Fluoride" was submitted as part of Naviar Haiku 575, Even Though Afar.

Even though afar
a feeling of coolness comes
from those mountain pines

by: Kagami Shikō

Kagami Shikō was a Japanese poet, considered one of the ten outstanding disciples (Shōmon jittetsu 蕉門十哲) of Matsuo Bashō. He was in turn the master of the famous poetess Fukuda Chiyo-ni.

Originally from the present-day Gifu Prefecture, Kagami Shikō became a monk at Daichi-ji Temple, and in 1690 he became a pupil of Bashō, later accompanying him on some of his journeys and recording his last will in 1694.

After Basho's death, he kept travelling around Japan, writing several essays on haiku and collections of writings until his death in 1731.

"Make music inspired by a haiku poem in seven days."

doing a series of recursions converting wav to midi to wav and so on, seeing if they converge. this is a chopped and squeezed version of one of them. one that reminded me of looking up at the fast ISS speck from my old balcony.

Where Do You Come From ? (Naviarhaiku114)

Where do you come from ?
Borders of Earth fall away
As we fly upwards.

Naviarhaiku - Where Do You Come From?

My entry for NaviarHaiku 114 - http://naviarlab.tumblr.com/

"Where do you come from? / Borders on Earth fall away / as we fly upwards" - poem by David Pulsford

This is a modular piece that uses multiple LFOs and envelopes both as modulation sources and as a method of triggering events (using a comparator) - meaning that the outcome is derived from simple rules but exhibits complex behaviour - much like the universe. And us. 

From Whence We Came (Naviarhaiku114 -where do you come from?)
