Naviar Haiku - 012

Beat up on my guitar with a wet octave-up delay applied running through my solid-state guitar amp with bad capacitors (hence the noise) as a preamp.

Disquiet Junto Project 0117: Naviar Junto Haiku

This week’s project involves members of the Disquiet Junto participating in another music-making community: the Naviar Haiku Project. Already members of the Junto have joined in the Naviar, and this is an opportunity to add to those ranks. Each week participants in the Naviar Haiku Project compose original pieces of music in response to a shared, provided haiku. The following are the steps for this week.

Step 1: This is the haiku for the 12th Naviar Haiku project entry:

“They encounter
A cathedral of ice
At the end of the world”

Step 2: Compose an original piece of music in response.

Step 3: Upload the file to the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud and describe your approach and process in the text field associated with the track.

Step 4: Also consider uploading the file to the Naviar Laboratory group on SoundCloud.

Step 5: Listen to other members’ tracks as they appear in the Disquiet Junto feed on SoundCloud, and comment on them when you have the time.

Additional Background: (1) At the end of every month a selection of tracks will be available on Naviar’s Bandcamp page as a pay-what-you-want album. (2) The haiku by Nite Rote. (3) The Naviar deadline is Wednesday, April 2, but this Junto project is to be completed by March 31. (4) The haiku was inspired by Werner Herzog’s documentary Encounters at the End of the World.

obsidian [naviarhaiku012 – they encounter / disquiet0117-naviarjunto]

I shouldn't but I had to….I'm writing a paper to conclude my studies at DIEM, Denmark for a degree in Electronic Music Composition - but this assignment sounded to good  when it landed in my inbox this morning...
I set out, as I had a pretty clear idea of what I wanted the track to sound like, and it wouldn't take long (did someone say naive?). I also wanted to try out my new interface for transferring digital audio from my iPad to my DAW - I ended up not using an sounds from the iPad, but anyhow I had fun trying and the excuse for working on this piece sounded good in my ears….What I did do, was using a couple of recordings of ice and snow, and a recording of a piano at a local thrift shop…and myself whispering the haiku. The ice and snow recordings where eq'ed a bit the piano went through Ambient a couple of times and once through a looper/delay in Reaktor. The final result is pretty close to what I thought of, before I started - as always things changed once I started experimenting with the material…but thats okay.

High coo [disquiet0117-naviarjunto] [Naviarhaiku012 – They encounter]

**Production Notes**

"Cathedral of ice?" Well, this had to be a drone. 

The base is an older piece, heavily filtered and treated. Added some Operator Sine bass here and there. The Pianos are from Boscomac (great free Reaktor stuff over there!) and the synth is Ye Good Ol’ Animoog on the iPhone - weeeee! Finally there were some last touches woth my new toy, a shortwave radio. 

Composing, arranging and mixing took 3 hours. Thanks for listening!

Each silence is the beginning and the end of a world. The sound only modulates the infinite circle and
build cathedrals of ice on nothing.

GN#003 : DATURA EP 
https://gaianetlabel.bandcamp.com/album/datura-ep

As we all crawl through random connexions, the global village sometimes offer opportunities that we don’t so often take. With the same curiosity of explorers we have decided to take this chance. And suddenly, the fresh wind of a promise freedom has unveiled our most secret fantasies.

For this third release we have invited a mysterious guest from south of France : Tales of Helicon. Generally producing an industrial tech(k)no directly forged right through the craziness of free-parties. But, for this experience, the artist has lead us in an hallucinating cooled-down Dub-Techno journey. Recorded on one-go, without safety net, in the chaos of the capricious Hardware-Queens.

The EP is in free donation.

Mastered @ Calyx Mastering ( Norman Nitzsche )
Artwork : Camille Aubourg

#GN003 Tales of Helicon - Datura EP ( Out Now ! )

Playing EaSily

Based on the Largo from "Winter" in Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons"

See https://soundcloud.com/groups/extrospection

Vivaldissonata [Extrospection Dec 2015]

This track is made entirely out of a ten-second sample from  a deleted song by soundcloud.com/omnijess. Nothing added, all drawn from the sound of her voice and backing. Thanks for letting me use it, Jess :)

This really is one for headphones.

Fragments of Renick Bell - Empty Lake EP (UIQ0006)
12" + download - available now from - 

The 6th EP from Lee Gamble’s UIQ imprint comes ‘live coded’ from Renick Bell's generative music system...

Renick is a computer musician, programmer, and teacher living in Tokyo, Japan. He is a graduate of the doctoral program at Tama Art University in Tokyo, Japan. His current research interests are live coding, improvisation, and algorithmic composition using open source software. He is the author of Conductive, a library for live coding in the Haskell programming language.

The records design and EP track names, like the music, are algorithmic. They are generated using the ancient Chinese ‘Book of Changes ‘ the ‘I Ching’

Renick Bell — Empty Lake (UIQ0006)(fragments)

Naviar is a music community and label. Through regular publications, open projects and events, we explore the connection between experimental music and traditional Japanese poetry.

To join the Haiku challenge, visit https://www.naviarrecords.com/about/naviar-haiku

Creator / Organizer of sounds and psychologist.

Aesthetically, its main interest is the exploration of the limits of the ego: To what extent the composer can leave your work free-for example, through algorithmic or random processes -? He also believes in the sound as a means of transcending the experience, provided that attention is focused on the sound itself. 

Technically, explores the relationship between composition / programming and improvisation by livecoding with open source languages. 

He has released albums on various netlabels and collaborated on various projects, festivals and sound art magazines. Always published under creative commons licenses.
