Distant Void

The “Quiet Zone” sign is one that I regularly see and adhere to during my commute into work, which is displayed on the upper decks of the “Go Train” that heads into Toronto. While most of the passengers comply with the request to keep their sonic level at a minimum, there are always those who seem blissfully ignorant. This was the case on my latest trip into town, where a young woman sat behind me and promptly started to engage in a cheerful and lively phone conversation for the entirety of the trip. I resisted the urge to scold her and instead got out my phone and hit record. The resultant recording was far too noisy to use in its original form, so I subjected it to various forms of granular synthesis in an attempt to mimic my own audio experience during my commute. This usually consists of an ambient soundscape sent to my headphones, which never seems to completely obscure the rumble of the train, the sound of the announcements, the rhythmic click clack of the tracks and the noises made by passengers ignoring the “quiet zone” message - all of which are rendered in a stylized form in this track. Everything you hear is derived from the four minute recording made during my trip.

Here's my noisy musical resonance to this week's haiku from @naviar-records.

SONG 77 - DisquietJunto0688 - Sign Up

After watching the wonderful TV series "In My Skin", I tried to compose a track to match this touching story. While playing the piano melody on my midi keyboard, I recorded the mechanical sounds of the keys using a smartphone and a dictaphone.
This recording approach was inspired by this week's Disquiet Junto project, but doesn't follow that prompt closely.
These recordings (treated with various effects) were mixed with the piano, and strings and synth sounds were added to the track, all to support the guiding emotion drawn from the story.

In My Skin - the Sound of Sound  (Disquiet0689)

Recorded, mixed & mastered on 14 Mar 2025 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa. 

Synths, effects

This original version of "Never Burn" was submitted as part of Naviar Haiku 584, Heaven And Earth

heaven and earth:
neither exists apart from
snow fluttering down

by: Kajiwara Hashin

Kajiwara Hashin was born in 1864 and studied under Kyoshi. Although Hashin is not very well-known as a poet, this particular haiku that he wrote is quite popular worldwide: it was first translated by Miyamori Asataro and later by R. H. Blyth.
