Recorded, mixed & mastered 23 Oct 2024 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa.

I put together three generative parts for this in Reason - using Monotone, Felt Instruments Lekko & Subtractor. I then moved over to Ableton Live and did some processing there - shifted each track slightly off-time by stretching. 

This original version of "Surfactant Is Cool" was submitted as part of Naviar Haiku 564, Fog clears Away…

Fog clears away:
the waterfall shows up
bit by bit.

by: Natsume Sōseki (Tr. Sōiku Shigematsu)

Undoubtedly one of the most important Japanese novelists in modern history, Natsume Sōseki began his career publishing haiku and renku poems in a number of newspapers and periodicals. Early in his career he met Masaoka Shiki, who encouraged him to become a writer and tutored him in the art of composing haiku.

Between 1900 and 1903 he studied at the UCL in London, but this proved to be quite a dramatic experience for the young Soseki. Despite this, when Soseki returned to Japan, he exploded into prolific writing activity.

Surfactant Is Cool (naviarhaiku564)

According to my research of various websites, the consensus seems to be that calmer types of music are more conducive to plant growth. This track was created using Pure Data & various plugins, etc.

Process notes -
I wanted to do something peaceful but also a little alien.  

I started in Reason, using a bassoon sound and Malström & added a bit from a Bitwig piano & Absynth piece from exactly two years ago. I exported the stems and imported to Ableton Live. In Live, I added the bass part - the native Analog synth. Here, I treated the four parts with various effects and finished. 

Tools used - Spitfire Softpiano, NI Absynth, NN-19 Bassoon, Malström, Bitwig, Reason, Ableton Live, Analog, DAW-specific native devices, iZotope Nectar & Ozone.
