Captivating & mysterious! It's like entering a Sc-Fi worm hole & never seeing the light of day again!  Very mind boggling--in a good way! >>

I created Hörstück Number 9 in May 2025 especially for the Institute For Alien Research's call for proposals.
The piece uses a wide range of noises and sounds from different contexts. The use of flute melodies creates a musical impression.

The composition was released by the Istitute For Alien Research (ifarlabel) in a compilation entitled Conjunctives on Bandcamp. All fifteen compositions are Musique Concrète works with a duration of 4:33 minutes.

Inspired by the following haiku written by Konishi Raizan, a famous haiku poet of the Genroku period (1688-1704).
spring dream…
not becoming unhinged
is what’s unbearable

after the typhoon - Naviarhaiku598

Although this track was made as a response to:

after the typhoon
I walk around alone -
sunshine everywhere

Naviar haiku challenge 598, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

It strayed a bit; In the very early stages while I was designing a sound for "Walking in sunshine", everything is assembled in virtual modular using VCV Rack, I played a simple phrase that suggested that it wanted to be a sequence, divergence begins. Probably because I had another project in mind  the original phrase and subsequent sequence development borrowed quite heavily from Steve Reich, I split off that version and pulled back a bit for this track although the roots are still there hence the minimalism tag. 

With the sequences complete I went back and designed an intro, not quite a typhoon but serves as as opening. And an outro; not really sunshine but while experimenting with modulated frequency modulation I unexpectedly found a sound I'd been hunting for a couple of weeks ago, it made a nice contrast so I kept it.

With all the elements in place I set up and did a one take multi-track live improvised mix, I also manipulated a couple of probability parameters, other modulations were built into the patch. 

A couple of eternal effects:
There is a final layer of reverb wash derived from the sunshine element made with SpaceBlender from Soundtoys and included in the performance via recorded parameter automation.      

I added a little bit of tape echo, Stardust 201 from Cherry Audio, to the sequences.
 
After all the usual blending a tweaking I added The Free Vinyl plugin from iZotope, felt like it would fit on the opening of the track.

After The Typhoon - (naviarhaiku - 598)

An electronic composition, sounds created using Pure Data.

River of Heaven (naviarhaiku601)

7-19-25 (someday everyone will always have been against this)

This album emerges from the rediscovery of an accordion following the loss of a close relative an instrument that had been a constant companion throughout their life, weaving itself into the fabric of childhood memory. At its core lies the recognition that both human and
accordion share the same essential act: breathing.

The accordion becomes a meditation on mortality and memory, its bellows expanding and contracting like "lungs", its air valve releasing pure breath without melody—the raw pneumatic essence of life itself. Every sound originates from this single instrument, largely unprocessed, preserving the intimate relationship between human touch and mechanical response.

It’s an investigation of how an instrument can hold the memory of hands that no longer play it. The mechanical whispers, the subtle articulations of metal and leather and wood become a language of remembrance, breathed rather than spoken.
