This voice is gorgeous. How did you get that sound? 

A short improvisation on a Sigma (5-string EADGC fretted) acoustic bass, plus various effects. I was experimenting with adding a loop while editing in Reaper (by taking a short section of the solo and looping it).

The prompt this week was to make a piece of music using this image of crop circles as a visual score: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d5/CropCircleW.jpg . In this case I took a quite literal interpretation using the circles as parts and their shapes as amplitude, all played on synths with looping sequences of different lengths.

Crop Score (disquiet0425)

Step 1: Consider the idea of a crop circle as a graphically notated musical composition. (This might require doing a little research on crop circles and/or graphic notation.)

Step 2: Interpret the photo associated with this project, from Wikipedia, as a musical score. (You can also use other images, but please keep copyright in mind.)

Track notes:

In the first instance, I decided to approach this with a graphic transcription of the crop circle image on graph paper. Once I had a decent representation I divided up sections of the pattern and thought about ways I could interpret this musically.

I must admit I tried several different approaches before I arrived at the finished piece. The previous attempts seemed too constrained. What worked was to apply a simple principle from the score - e.g the 'block' shapes in the green band represent the main bell pulses. This gave me the structure I needed. From there, I interpreted the score more impressionistically - the bass follows the bells/organ; the synth follows contours of the lines, etc. Everything else is for the sake of texture and so forth. 

Funnily enough, this week I've been absolutely besotted with John Cage's late 'stone' works, where he drew inspiration from Japanese stone gardens..their rocks, patterns in the sand. Beautiful work. Especially Ryoanji.

initially thought of the other sort of kite and then couldnt release this concept
but then this is from the perspective of a sentient kite so..

Made for the NH321
All sounds recorded by me. Drumssample from my recorder, slowed down together with the recorded guitar and looped. All work with sounds done in Audacity freeware. Spent some hours to get the space of sounds that I wanted, lots of thrown away combinations :D

Here’s another poem by Aju Mukhopadhyay, who also offered a haiku for our previous challenge

“Aju Mukhopadhyay is an award winning poet, author and critic. He contributes different genres of literature to various journals: two of the ten books he’s published so far are of Japanese short verses: Short Verse Vast Universe and Short Verse Delight. His works have been widely anthologized and translated. He recently won the Best Author (non fiction) award at the Literoma Laureate Award.”
