Gamelan Calling

it will come.

This turned out a bit more Hallowe'en than I was expecting, but given the date, maybe that's OK 😁💀🎃

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

Saitō Sanki (1900 – 1962) was a dentist who discovered his passion for haiku poetry in his mid-thirties, when his colleagues at the hospital in Soto Kanda convinced him to write a haiku for a collection. Later, he became one of the most important exponents of wartime haiku: he was imprisoned in 1940 during the government’s World War II persecution of controversial artists, and was officially forbidden to write until the end of the war.

More solo stuff...

the background audio is a Catholic AM radio station (broadcasting through an emergency crank radio) starting off by selling the last remaining (still expensive) cabins for a Catholic Cruise. they then get into the topic of how they are not looking to shame or brutalize women into having more children but they do know one thing: The more children you have the more you win; Jesus wants you to be a winner. 

Interesting piece of media for ya there.
this is used to create a certain layer to the music that, on the surface, no one really bothers with actually making out the words. If you do that's extra awesome! this was the first recording I played directly to the track without forethought. Therefore, there is no premeditated meaning or purpose conveyed.  I have one kid, but I don't want any more for a million and one reasons... and if you have none that is good too... Don't let these goofballs ruin your day, you are doing just fine! but an interesting pull from the radio none the less!

Coincidentally 6 months ago I was staying at a hotel and there were tons of elderly Catholic couples, some singles, staying there the day before leaving on a cruise. I was being weird and taking pictures down at the lobby so that I could maybe use it somewhere for something strange like this.

Was It Ever, Really?

Abstract ambient instrumental with a gentle pulse — playfully shifting between major and minor moods.
Layered synthesizers (10 tracks across 6 synths), all performed in real time — no sequencing, just hands-on, old-school playing.

Inspired by this haiku:

bio here:
http://dedeland.com/daniel-diaz-bio/


In some words:
Composer, arranger, producer, multi-instrumentalist. Born in Argentina,
I studied music in Buenos Aires, New York, Boston, Los Angeles and Paris.

For 20 years, I developed an important career as a session and backing musician in Argentina and Europe, playing, among other instruments, the bass, touring and recording with many jazz, rock, fusion, world, Latin and tango bands.

At the same time, I worked as an arranger, producer and musical director with many projects and artists in the USA, Argentina and Europe.

From 1992 to 1997, I performed my compositions live with my own band in Buenos Aires and began a solo recording career with the worldwide release of my first album "The Years Alone" on the North American label Green Linnet/Xenophile. On this album I arranged and performed 11 of my songs written between 1986 and 1993. I played most of the instruments, but included guest appearances by some great South American players.

My recording career continued with "Segundo Ciclo" (1997), released worldwide by Timeless Records, and 12 more albums released between 2000 and 2016.

Currently, I work as an on-demand film/TV composer while continuing to play live and produce.
