This week's Disquiet Junto prompt, "Reverse Resolution", challenged us to finish something that we had left unfinished in 2024. 

During the holiday break I wrote a new piece for an upcoming album from my Sudre's Violin postpunk project, and just for fun produced it as a recording of a "rare live performance". My intention was to also record a canonical "studio version" of the song at some point. So why not now?

If you try to dance to this song, I will not be held responsible for any damages or injuries that occur. Features Yamaha piano, a lead instrument made from a tortured dobro sample, synthethic bass, hand-programmed drums, and some vintage pads.

This assignment was both easy and difficult. Easy because almost all of my music is a more or less spontaneous life recording. Difficult because I usually just save wav. files, so there is no easy way of refining by editing. Also, usually I have no recollection of the process involved whatsoever (it’s not drugs, but maybe age if you’re wondering).

Going through my messy iPad, I found a file named 20240115.wav, so I guess I made this almost a year ago. It sounds like several Plaits voices over a field recording with some glitch effect. To this I live jammed a glitchy beat and some other small bits. So now the track is as finished as it ever will be.

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.

Distant Pines(NaviarHaiku575)

picked up an ableton live session from last year, with a recording from my modular system - notes at the time mention using a matrix mixer for effects sends with feedback, one send to delay and another to beads, with a chord voice going in - revisiting this recording, i ended up layering two slower copies pitched down -1 and -2 octaves and working in some field recordings.
