For this week's Haiku Challenge response I'd been Audacity Paulstretching an extract of piano improvisation that took place @stellato-strings house. Then I added single notes, including from @jacques-andre's toy piano. As I'm becoming more confident in my composition and experimenting I'm creating more space, which seems to fit well with this week's prompt.

Lafcadio lives in the United States. She enjoys writing Japanese-inspired micropoetry as well as free form. Lafcadio has had haiku, senryu, tanka and haibun published in various online journals. She uses Lafcadio as her nom de plume mostly because she likes saying nom de plume.

Seven days to make music in response to the assigned haiku: to participate visit https://www.naviarrecords.com/about/naviar-haiku

Part 92 of my new house mix series...enjoy.

The Benny Pill $how - Episode 92

A table by the sea and the condensation water of some bottles have left their mark. I like that. 

I interpreted the score as follows:

1. first, I see grains of sand on a surface. The grains suggest - simply put - a granular treatment of a pad or surface. 
2. the circles reminded me of the loop representation of the loopy app. So I recorded four loops. Wherever two "grooves" were visible, I played two notes, otherwise, I used just one; the fatter a groove, the greater the amplitude. I used Bardzo, Pigments, and SQ80-V. 
3. I ignored the fifth circle discreetly because it didn't fit into the piece anymore. Shame on me. 

First, the "table" (drone) starts, then the bottles (loops) are introduced with one time each. Once all four have played twice, they are removed again, until the piece ends.

Disquiet Junto Project 0557: Condensation Is a Form of Change
The Assignment: Interpret a graphic score that depicts four phases.

A combined play on a Brian Eno phrase and a John Cage visual motif is pretty much foundational Disquiet Junto territory. This week, interpret this image as a graphic score:

Eight Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0557” (no spaces or quotation marks) in the name of your tracks.

Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag “disquiet0557” (no spaces or quotation marks). If you’re posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to subsequent location of tracks for the creation of a project playlist.

Step 3: Upload your tracks. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your tracks.

Step 4: Post your track in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0557-condensation-is-a-form-of-change/

Step 5: Annotate your track with a brief explanation of your approach and process.

Step 6: If posting on social media, please consider using the hashtag #DisquietJunto so fellow participants are more likely to locate your communication.

Step 7: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Step 8: Also join in the discussion on the Disquiet Junto Slack. Send your email address to marc@disquiet.com for Slack inclusion.

Note: Please post one track for this weekly Junto project. If you choose to post more than one, and do so on SoundCloud, please let me know which you’d like added to the playlist. Thanks.

Additional Details:

Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, September 5, 2022, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, September 1, 2022.

Length: The length is up to you.

Title/Tag: When posting your tracks, please include “disquiet0557” in the title of the tracks, and where applicable (on SoundCloud, for example) as a tag.

Upload: When participating in this project, be sure to include a description of your process in planning, composing, and recording it. This description is an essential element of the communicative process inherent in the Disquiet Junto. Photos, video, and lists of equipment are always appreciated.

Download: It is always best to set your track as downloadable and allowing for attributed remixing (i.e., a Creative Commons license permitting non-commercial sharing with attribution, allowing for derivatives).

For context, when posting the track online, please be sure to include this following information:

Four on a Beach  [disquiet0557]

Condensation is a form of change, but this is only half of the story. Condensation is what happens when vapor transforms to a liquid state; evaporation is what happens when liquid changes back to vaporous form. It’s a constant, cyclical form of reclaiming what was lost.

Michael John Harris, author of the book The End of Absence, has an interesting perspective on loss vs. gain: “My child will never know the value of learning to read a map without GPS. This is the problem with losing lack: it’s nearly impossible to recall its value once it’s gone.“ 

Some cognitive scientists argue that digital media has rendered our brains into mush. Others believe that, like how the clouds above manage moisture content, it’s simply a matter of displacing one form of cognitive processing with another.

For this Junto project, Suss Müsik explored the cyclical nature of something being there and then not there. The original photo was scanned and rendered to high-contrast, which revealed two distinct patterns: the first a reasonably formed outline comprising a circle (we’ll call that v.1), the other a series of amorphous blobs (v.2). 

v.1 became the basis for a cyclical riff played on fake bass and a DIY synth device. v.2 was played by tracing a finger across a DIY piezo mic resonator (constructed from old hard drive enclosures) and passing the signal through a Meng Qi Wingie 2. Some sloppy piano was overdubbed; interruptions were designed per interpretation of the “score.”

The piece is titled after Hieronimo Squarciafico, the 15th-century Venetian editor who warned that the invention of the printing press would inhibit humankind’s ability to remember things.

Bing Bing Choo Choo (disquiet0564)

A drum/percussion track for Disquiet Junto 0572: Rhythm Kit. Instruction: Record a beat with the intension that someone other than yourself will add something to it at a later date. 

These sounds were recorded during live jam with Creatures Once bandmate Monstrosus on Dec 10. We played live on some iOS apps conrolled by Korg nano keys, the Alesis e-drum kit, and Drumbrute Impact. We're both drummers as a first instrument so we always have fun with the drums. Had some other instrument sounds going in the jam, but took those out for this rhythm kit version. Arrangement kinds of follows how the jam played out, with M going off on the e-drums to cap things off. Hope someone in the Junto enjoys this beat! 
My family baked biscotti while I edited this, then we had a nice cuppa chai to go along.
