viole-n-ts [ naviarhaiku582 ]

I see this sign everyday on my walk to the bus stop and it immediately came to mind when thinking of street signs. I took the sign to mean sounds that come one after the other, with no overlap, and challenged myself to create a track that is completely monophonic.

To do this I used Renoise and limited my self to only one track, I used samples from various sources, some that I had recorded, others rendered from Vital. Overall I think the limitation lead me to create something very unique and forced me to think outside of the box when writing rhythms and melodies.

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.

Hi, I've been working on percussion tracks, so I took this picture (taken in souther Spain), it is not really "shapes of the grain" but the pikes are so massive and menacing that I couldn’t stop thinking as a good notation for a spicy percussive track. I see short, high transient sound anyway.
So I decided to use my new Oberheim DMX virtual instrument exclusivelly, changing pitch and sound for the toms to represent those spikes.
Anyway, glad to be back on a junto, cheers DD
