I read the haiku a few times and imagined a cloud of visibly cool air enveloping a warm lake, a tree and a heron. 

This original version of "Slouch Beneath The Tree With Me" was submitted as part of Naviar Haiku 576, Amongst The Rushes.

Amongst the rushes,
a stillness comes over us -
Heron in winter.

Disquiet Junto Project 0681: Drama Course
The Assignment: Record a piece of music to transform a walk or a run into something theatrical.

I started with a bassline and had a kind of wet step drum. I wanted the bass and drums to swell on and off, two people chasing each other and stopping to look around. The main motif that builds up depicts the chaser getting closer and closer. All but the mastering is done in my old trusted caustic app.

Inspired by Night Note (@mmastalka) who incorporates nature like sounds in their compositions I thought would give it a try too.

This song is mostly a Korg Volca Drum with some Yamaha Bells added in. The Volca Drum is pretty powerful for such a small package. While it only has 16 steps in its sequencer it has the ability to add probability to each step so the pattern doesn't get too repetitive. It has the ability to play pitched notes and the only thing it is lacking is the ability to play pitched notes via midi in its multi channel mode.

An exploration of not bells ... be careful, though ... the SoundCloud algorithm doesn't consider this music, and I didn't really want to "modify your track to make it eligible" for recommendation to potentially interested listeners! 😂

The rhythm track is created from the sounds of a lighter, striking a match and a crackling fire ...

like in a dream

As we near the end of August I am starting to consider what lessons have been learnt this month.  A pitch class set approach based on each day will work, but is there enough variety for a 30 minute piece?  Now multiply that by 12.  What do I need to consider for a 6 hour work?  Is an evolving ambient experience worthy?  What do you think?
