"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.

Remove Borders [Naviarhaiku114 - Where do you come from ?]

This is a glitchy / ambient track created as a live recording in Usine Hollyhock II.

A self generating sound using Subvert by Glitchmachines processed by Hollyhock's seq glitcher provides a rhythmic background against drone elements created using Hollyhock's U-drone.  

Nave provides the pad sound and Lokomotiv the bass.   

The sample at the end is from Glitchmachine's shadow pack.

hofuku sochi 報復措置 - one note of the shakuhachi (or two?) [Naviarhaiku#142]

went literal: one held shakuhachi note, resonating at C1 - C6

The haiku of the week was written by Sôen Nakagawa, a key figure in the transmission of Zen Buddhism from Japan to the Western world.

The shakuhachi is a Japanese end-blown flute that was originally introduced from China into Japan in the 8th century. If you’re curious to hear how it sounds, check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7s-wXZWT5o

Piercing Clouds

Piercing Clouds [NaviarHaiku142]

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.
