My attempt at a suspense cue for an imagined film. 

I got commissioned to write a film score recently. It ended up being rejected but as luck would have it, shortly thereafter  Marc’s @disquiet assignment came up. So I had quite a bit of material left over from these sessions. I felt they fit the “spooky and tense” bill just nicely. So using these as a starting point, I proceeded to add and remove layers, and a bass synth makes a rare appearance here, as well. Hope you enjoy it!

The haiku prompt for this:

an autumn nightfall
the skeleton of a huge fish
drawn back by the sea.

Naviar haiku challenge 617, details here:  https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

I have my field recording of the sea so I had a starting point; everything else was made with VCV Rack. I started with the sequences then added the synthetic waves, mixed with the real ones towards the end of the track. Wanting to keep the rest quite sparce and minimal I then made a simple chord sequence and a simple self generating melody.   

With a rough plan for the overall form I was going to follow I set up physical controls and multi track recording, hit record and mixed/modulated all the elements in one live take.

Take some time to really,
truly, think about these things.
Here is a tune to guide you through these things.



These Things

UN GAUCHO – solo bass

A simple, heartfelt solo bass piece — part of a series of intimate instrumental moments I play live or record at home for fun.
Five-string bass (high C), light effect pedals — just melody, warmth, and a great instrument.

Thanks for listening!

by: Masaoka Shiki

Regarded as the father of contemporary haiku, Masaoka Shiki was a poet and literary critic during the Meiji period Japan.

He advocated realistic observation by “sketching” (shasei) poems and going out into nature with notebooks, thus abandoning the traditional subjects of haiku of the time. His advice for an aspiring poet was, “Use both imaginary pictures and real ones, but prefer the real ones.”
