Dissolving elephants and golden walls

Here's my noisy musical resonance to this week's haiku from @naviar-records.

out of the blue
of early morning light:

Not as I envisaged at the outset owing to a lucky experiment and a willingness to got with the flow. All the base sounds are generated in virtual modular using VCV Rack with split outputs allowing multitrack recording. I had planned on using the Deelay plugin from Sixth Sample and while I was tweaking the settings put it into chaos mode as an experiment, not what I wanted but more suitable for this track, saved some VCV patching.  With the other elements in place I set up physical controls and did a test run to get an idea of what to patch next. After what would have been the opening ran to over six minutes I decided that with a couple of tweaks I had enough for a take, more minimal and slower evolving than my original idea but probably suits the haiku better. I used a touch of Frostbite 2 from Audio Thing to add some texture to the opening.

Early Morning Light - (naviarhaiku - 583)

Passion.

Passion is the fifth album made by Henry Guy. The album mainly represents the concept that, over time, we lose interest and passion for things we used to love. Passion is an honest exploration of growth, change, and the nuanced experience of losing interest in what once defined you. 

Please do not distribute these tracks without my own permission. These are independently produced entirely by me and all copyright belongs to Henry Guy.

After The Storm

Sunday Ambient - 23

love the dark, sad, experimental and hazy side of things, hypnotic loops and damaged sounds. massive horror geek. not without a sense of humour. partner in crime with Shelley and Loren.

if you're questioning why or how i'm able to upload on a frequent basis, simply put - i have A LOT of time on my hands at this point in my existence, a wealth of music/sounds to draw upon, and a decent collection of software to make things (e.g. both the synth and fx arturia vst collections). i'm not just auto-generating ai pieces ad nauseum, at the same time i have nothing against using ai in the creative process, but not as an outright replacement for creation. i really think the witch hunt over it all is a bit ridiculous, fueled by the greed pig corporate media companies mostly. 

one thing i've learned about making at least a little bit of money from streaming my music beyond measley penny scraps, i have to upload frequently and i've been experimenting with reuploading/reposting my tracks for better play counts (for now), if even it only results in cutting costs.
