Kaga no Chiyo-jo (1703–1775) was a haiku poet discovered by Kagami Shiko at a very young age. She became a Buddhist nun at 52 and wrote around 1,900 haiku in her lifetime. A highlight of her poetry career was presenting haiku to a Korean delegation in 1763, one of the first cultural exchanges of this kind.

How Monotonous, Herr Pencil (disquiet0715)

Disquiet Junto's 715th prompt was simple: record yourself making a mistake on purpose, and emphasize the error through repetition. 

Long-time readers will know that I favor narrative in my pieces, so I created a little vignette: we listen in on a frustrated pianist in a parlor, as she tries to improvise on a piano with a bad E4. (The piece was improvised, but it was refined over a couple of takes.) 

Features synthetic piano, organic vocal, and ambient field recording.

Improv in A minor (on a piano with a sticky key) (disquiet0715)

Live recording of my set at StromWandlungSchall IV / Altes Schlachthaus Mosbach.

An improvisation on Paetzold contrabass recorder, processed by a Pure Data patch, together with a pre-recording of Ciat-Lonbarde Peterlin, table top guitar, samples of bells, and processed voice.

The piece is intended as a walk through a landscape of sounds, reflecting on the different meanings of "Wandlung" (transition/transformation/transfiguration/transsubstantiation).

Huge thanks to Thomas Breuer @vactrolog for organizing this fantastic event which showed the wealth of positions in electronic music!

a project created in december 2020 found from the archive 

Procedure:
A MIDI sequence was created with Elektron Octatrack,
which drives a piano track in Ableton.
The sequence was then broken down into four melodic lines.
The first line were transposed by +7 semintones
the second by +11 semitones
the third -13 semitones
the fourth line remains in the same pitch
then the harmony was extracted from each melodic line.
For each track, the ghost plays its part and sings as it pleases.
Next, for the sake of musicality, each ghost decides which notes to play and which to omit from its part.
During the performance the Time increase and the ensemble takes place
second take with the "singing ghost" track add
