NH122: mid-point of the bridge / I hover above / the river’s current

Eggs

For this week's Naviar Haiku, I improvised at the piano, imagining looking at the rippling waters below. I tried also to represent the bridge as a rising and later falling motif. This is the best performance I did, but annoyingly it was recorded too hot and distorts :-(  So - here is another recording which is cleaner but maybe not as interesting in my opinion : https://soundcloud.com/ikjoyce/the-river-naviarhaiku122-mid-point-of-the-bridge-take-2

The Crystal River [Naviarhaiku122 - mid-point of the bridge]

This is my entry for Naviarhaiku122 - mid-point of the bridge.

Created, arranged and produced in Sensomusic Hollyhock II this track considers the consistent nature of a river's current against more fluid background sounds.

I've used Polygon by Glitchmachines, Nave by Waldorf, Firebird by Tone 2 and a sample from Remnants by The Coil.  Hollyhock's homing pad was used for some glitchy percussive sounds.

Growing From The Concrete

The Long Way Home (Ft. BFOS)

Made during Trump's horrifying rise to political success, 'We Will Do Without Gum' is about the determination with which we tried to avoid US influence in UK culture as teens. Yet still we were sucked in by certain things the media told us was cool...at what price.

London via Cork selector Aoife O'Neill has been on our radar for time now following a handful of wicked sets for some of our favourite crews - Secretsundaze, Telephones, Where Good Friends Meet, Red Light Radio.

Holding down a regular radio show (Out Of Space) on Dublin Digital Radio - and with a slot locked in at this years Open Ear Festival on Sherkin Island - Aoife has certainly been busy. She was kind enough to turn in this break heavy mix for us, and it's everything that you would expect from one of Ireland's brightest disc jockeys.

Percussion led dancehall bass, deep breakbeat and ravey otherwordliness. It's as good a selection as we've heard  this year. Don't just take our word for it - lock in.

Tracklist:

1. Old Fashioned (Original Mix) - K-Lone
2. Ain't Got To Go Home - James Massiah 
3. Its My Life (Max D Edit) - Watt Noize
4. Wildlife - Laurence Guy
5. Hypnosis (Walton Dub) - El Kid
6. Don Greno - Yak
7. Belter (Joy O Belly Mix) - Off The Meds
8. Final Bounce - Florist 
9. Alula - Shanti Celeste & Hodge
10. Daisy Chain - Overmono
11. Aquiatic Lifefrms Alien Hybrd Evolvd - JEANS 
12. Set Me Free - Head High
13. Endura - Kessler
14, Don't Know - Synkro

Efa O'Neill - 003

Exploring the realms of electronic music.

I started out using Caustic, the Android music creation tool and I still use it occasionally from time to time.  I moved onto Ableton Live Lite 8,  the 'I, Improvised 3' project inspired an album created with one take recording which can be found on my Bandcamp page.

It has limitations I thought were too crippling to create full songs but you just need to be a bit creative.  True it's a compromise but it goes to show you can still make music even with these software limitations. 

I've since moved onto using Mulab 6 and more recently Usine Hollyhock II which isn't like a traditional DAW, it's more aimed at live performance.  It is incredibly powerful with a wealth of samplers, granulators, glitch tools, groove machines and physics engines.  It's also a totally modular environment. 

As well as synthesizing sounds, field recordings or found sounds hold a particular fascination in the way they can capture a unique moment  resulting in sounds that cannot be synthesized. 

The tools in Hollyhock allow me to dissect these sounds, making them non-linear which kind of takes them outside of time to give a different perspective. 

Naviar is a music community and label. Through regular publications, open projects and events, we explore the connection between experimental music and traditional Japanese poetry.
