haiku #254: My soul is the wind / Dashing down fields of Autumn: / O, too swift to sing.

Disquiet Junto Project 0250: Soothing Sounds for Junto
Make some peaceful music for an infant child.

This project finds me re-editing and mixing tracks I composed and recorded last year for a film that needed some “clear”, “transparent” and “crystalline” music according to director.
So I went for a sample instrument called Glass Works from Soniccouture that I ended up using quite a lot, samples from “translucent” glass instruments such as Chamber Bowls, Cristal Baschet and Glass Harmonica. 
https://soundcloud.com/soniccouture

I kept the same template yesterday night and build this Welcome! sound to Karin and Bruce’s sweetheart, wishing them all a lot of happiness.

Basic tracks are:
-Cristal Baschet (arpeggio)
-Bowls (w/mallets) 
-Glass Harmonica
-Bowed bowls pad

So the basic track is full midi.

Then I added my beloved Accordina (start @ 0:34) and (bassist me) a pizzicato upright bass section (6 overdubs of the same basic bass part to make it sound like a bass orchestra).
I thought this was a bad idea, (removing the aerial mood and giving some rhythmic root) but today it seems good.
Still, at 3AM I added some “Vangelis” noises and cutoff falls ‘cause something in the sound reminds me the Love Theme from Blade Runner, so I tried to imitate those unique “ffffsshhhh” sound Vangelis masters.
I also thought this was a bad idea and now, the morning after I can confirm. It’s actually number 37 in my list “50 worst ideas of 2016”
But can’s get to the studio to remove it now, so here it goes, lets support some bad ideas from time to time, shall we?

A magic moment is at 01:05 when the glass harmonica takes the lead playing the melody the Accordina just played (and accordina starts improvising) , both timbre sound so alike that it’s amazing, such disparate instruments.

Gratitude (naviarhaiku197)

The challenge:
Record conference-call hold music — a private limbo of your own making.

The thing that worries me the most on hold music is that it’s so repetitive and un-interesting, and it’s supposed to keep you entertained while you wait? No way.
No variations, no emotion, no flow, nothing in it’s (electronic) performance, and let’s forget about audio quality, everything is poor and cheap.
So I recorded an purely electronic piece of music, 6 synth tracks, it is repetitive and  tame, always the same 6 sound sources, all notes follow cascades of 5th intervals, melodic or harmonic, but still, it changes all the time. Subtlety , but it does change, there’s no more than  2 measures with the exact same information.

My soul is the wind (Naviarhaiku 254)

Immense universe prelude v3

Music inspired by this haiku by Lewis Grandison Alexander:

"My soul is the wind
dashing down fields of Autumn
O, too swift to sing"

and this poem by Pablo Neruda (that you can hear faintly in the background):

"...
Escucha como el viento
me llama galopando
para llevarme lejos.

Con tu frente en mi frente,
con tu boca en mi boca,
atados nuestros cuerpos
al amor que nos quema,
deja que el viento pase
sin que pueda llevarme.

Deja que el viento corra
coronado de espuma,
que me llame y me busque
galopando en la sombra,
mientras yo, sumergido
bajo tus grandes ojos,
por esta noche sola
descansaré, amor mío."
"

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.
