Assembled using a combination of Voltage Modular and Bento, the noise synth from Giorgio Sancristoforo; https://www.giorgiosancristoforo.net (Bento is about 2/3 of the way down the list).

I started out with Bento, got it set up worked out which controls I wanted to manipulate the moved onto Voltage Modular and patched together the other elements I'd need. Although a bit of a fiddle, I'd assigned all my physical controls to Bento so had to control all the VM components with the mouse, everything was manipulated and recorder in a single live take.

Ōshima Ryōta was a Japanese poet of the Edo period. Some sources say he was a disciple of Yosa Buson, while others say his master was Hattori Ransetsu. He's mostly remembered for his essay “Bashō ku kai” 芭蕉句解 ('Study of Bashō's haiku') published in 1759, a magnum opus of his studies and literary theories on Matsuo Bashō's work.

This week’s @disquiet project has been very useful. I’d been meaning for months to teach myself how to create scores in Sibelius. For this exercise I exported MIDI from a composition called “Group Manifestation” (which I originally started in Logic) and imported it into Sibelius to produce a score for an open-call submission to the Contemporary Music for All collection. (Anyone can enter here: https://www.coma.org/get-involved/immediate-pieces-call-for-scores/.)

An unexpected benefit was that I could go back into Logic and audition how the parts fit together. That playback helped me refine the performance instructions for the piece.

I have been getting back into classical violin repertoire recently, and you can hear some of my recent practice clips on YouTube.  I will be uploading more.
