haiku #378: snowflakes gently fall / cold winter’s pale sakura / I envy the birds

Not as well aligned with the subject as I'd planned, but I took a slightly unusual approach. I recorded myself reading the haiku, then used that as my sole sound source (albeit significantly processed). The result is quite interesting, if not exactly as I'd intended.

---
This track was inspired by the following Haiku:
Snowflakes gently fall,
cold winter's pale sakura -
I envy the birds.

Winter's Envy (naviarhaiku378)

This track was created for the Naviar Haiku group.

SnowflakeBirdsPaleSakura(NaviarHaiku378)

The recording was made on 10th February 2021 on a white, snowy walk. Seeing this Haiku reminded me of that time. It's somewhat fortunate (I still have the recording) and also that the power of the written word can trigger the memory. A random chance then that the words attracted the sound. This is a raw untreated field recording...well apart from the fade out.

Stress (disquiet0410)

Stones have a history and stones have a memory. Three small stones from the Tyrolean Alps, broken off from the mountain, hiked down the slope, fallen into the water or thrown into the water, lying in the water, moved by the current, sanded, shaped. In their form, their history has sedimented. The memory of water is inscribed in these stones, even if they are transported to a city without mountains and without a river, to a city standing on sandy soil in the lowlands. Shape, smoothness and roughness, heaviness, all these properties of the stones reflect their memory and at the same time determine their sound. Sound and memory are in this way related to each other. The piece tries to explore this memory of the water, sealed in the stone, which has migrated from the water of the mountain stream into the dry sand of the lowlands. The three stones are used as sound objects, they are rubbed against and thrown on several materials like concrete, metal, tense canvas and the wooden resonant body of an acoustic guitar. The acoustic memory of running water is generated by electronic manipulations of these stone sounds. This creates a certain degree of alienation, which resonates the strangeness of the migrated stones in the stone- and waterless environment. The stones' environmental memory is rendered audible.

Migrated Stones (Memories Of Water) [disquiet0441]

Three stones from the shingle coast in the shadow of Dungeness Nuclear Power Station, and a recording of the seawater constantly heated by its reactor, known locally as ’the boil’.

Each stone is recorded hitting the other. These recordings are triggered repeatedly. The rate of repetition of each collision modulates independently, live, using random number generation. The audio readout of a Geiger counter: one click for each randomly emitted particle of radiation detected in its ionisation chamber.

Each stone is scanned using Virtual ANS, which generates the ominous texture at 1:00, 2:00 and 2:55. A bleak reminder the station is inactive after an inspection in 2018 found dangerous levels of corrosion, classified as a level 2 incident on the International Nuclear Event Scale.

Inspiration also from 'Music for Pieces of Wood' by Steve Reich and 'Rock Piece' by Pauline Oliveros.

ps. there is a stone in the opening of the shell :)
