An interpretation of:

young grasses -
not yet bent
in any direction

Naviar haiku challenge 608, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

I had an idea of the structure and development of this track quite quickly. Young grass tempted to deviate by sequences entering from either side, temptation resisted, unbent growth represented by a final melody. Decided to use VCV Rack for this one. As I was going to be assembling the elements in a live mix I knew I wouldn't be able to play the final melody and manipulate everything else, hence VCV I was able to assemble the melody as multiple sequenced blocks that are played randomly, leaving my hands free for other things.  There is a lot of subtle modulation in each of the elements some of which had to automated; even using PatchMaster from MindMeld to set up performance macros where one knob controls multiple things I quickly ran out of physical controls; so like the melody I made a few practical compromises in what I manipulated live.  

I set everything up to record live to multiple tracks giving me the freedom to tweak the mix during the mastering stage. Other than EQ, saturation and gentle compression on both individual tracks and the master; the only extra effect I added is a very light touch of K7D - Tape Delay from imaginando on both sequences, the subtle ping-pong echoes integrated them intp the whole.

Fluid Audio presents 'Broadcasting From Nowhere', the debut album from Ondelunghe, a collaboration between Tokyo-based multi-instrumentalist Hiromu Yamaguchi and Italian composer Guido Lusetti. Conceived not through physical proximity but through distance, correspondence, and quiet exchange, the album feels like a message transmitted across frozen air-intimate, fragile, and partly obscured by static.

Yamaguchi’s contributions-piano and field recordings, carry the brittle tenderness of winter breath. Keys sound as though pressed with hesitation, leaving behind vapour trails of melody that threaten to vanish the moment they form. The recordings themselves crackle and hiss, as if weathered by frost, capturing the small, persistent noises of a world bracing against silence: creaking surfaces, shifting air, something moving just out of sight.

Lusetti’s work-what he refers to as electronic pointillism, does not counter these gestures but suspends them. His tones drift like cold particulate matter, dust motes in a beam of static, circling the piano without ever enclosing it. Occasionally, other voices, Henrik Meierkord’s cello, Ed van der Berkel’s trumpet, Daniele Varelli’s shakuhachi-surface not as performers but as spectral presences. Their sounds arrive like signals from an abandoned transmitter, lingering momentarily before dissolving back into the dark.

The album unfolds slowly, as though aware that silence has weight, and too sudden a movement might shatter it. Notes hang, unravel, and fall away like light snow. The music never insists; it waits. To listen to Broadcasting From Nowhere is to tune into a frequency that feels both familiar and unreachable, a broadcast sent from a place you’re not entirely sure exists, or ever did.

Ondelunghe - Rust Nostalgia

Immersive collaborative album of Atmøsphäre and Dionisaf, steeped in cold textures, shadowy resonance, and layers of abrasive noise, conjures a bleak sonic tundra — where icy drones, distorted textures, and shadowy pulses stretch across vast, unforgiving landscapes.

Produced, mixed and mastered by Tom Lievens (Atmøsphäre) and Dionis Afonichev (Dionisaf)
