Feels like Summer Tracks

started with scrunchy foley sounds, trying to create an imagined insects perspective of an insect dominated sound world at peak hour on a hot balmy night. Lots of Metasynth resynthesis and translation between sounds created as a montage in Metasynth's Montage Room applying an improvisational style

The Insect House at Night.(naviarhaiku374)

gentle ambient construction of drones and delays percussive ,discord and harmony drifting icily along.

IceCold StarField(NaviarHaiku380)

Northern Plum Blossoms(naviarhaiku381)

soundtrack for an installation in progress...

StarsAndFlowers

started and built from the sonification of this close up photo of a rock by a lake.. pure sine wave resynthesis as well as sample instruments made from field recordings..

ForestRockSonification(NaviarHaiku382)

moonbeams flickering through the fog.... having driven a two hour drive through swathes of dense vision inhibiting fog after midnight just recently this is something of the feeling and mood I imagined or experienced...

MoonBeamsIntheFog(NaviarHaiku385)

windswept fog over marshland- strange apparitions appear and disappear

Inner, outer, positive, negative space. The sonic vacuum, an impossible vastness, the absence of clutter, alien and opposite, vast and seemingly infinite, intimately familiar yet totally unknown. Space is within, between and beyond.

Negative Space(NaviarHaiku386)

Took  Piano , Ondes, Vox stems and whole lot of Spectrum Synth in Metasynth processing of these sounds and sounds of a broken piano, piano accordion, metal percussion

Pounding Waves Swept with Spring(naviarhaiku388)

Inhale, exhale. Harsh bells and  slow breathing ambience, derived from little Electric Chord Organ  which you can hear start up at the start of the track. Bell sounds resynthesized and manipulated using Metasynth on a recording of the chord organ sequence.

Made in response to this beautiful haiku by Masaoka Shiki with thanks to Marco and Naviar Haiku 

The ocean in June:
Inhaling and exhaling,
But never speaking.

TheOceanOfSadStoriesNeverSpoken(NaviarHaiku389)

The deafening sound of your own thoughts.

brief splashes of light flicker away slowly

Fading Fireworks(NaviarHaiku392)

A Summer Moment By the River(Naviar Haiku393)

features interesting eery cricket/insect sound, (quite different to Australian crickets) actually recorded next to a light rail track near Rhonert, Sonoma County California . TRACK VIDEO : https://vimeo.com/581883985

Stony Moonlit Mountain (NaviarHaiku 395)

A response to the Haiku , 
"watching the whiteness
of summer kimonos…
Sumida River". 
soundscape made entirely created in Metasynth starting with visual drawing and using sample instrument of steel string guitar as starting point .

Sumida River Kimonos(NaviarHaiku395)

Alleged music from distant planet lifeforms

Expanding a micro second of micro movements and rapid insect wing motion   to a 5 minute audio imagining.


keyboard and guitar in logic , then visual processing and orchestrating in metasynth

In the swish of a dragonflies' tail  (naviarhaiku399)

a dj or musique concrete, soundtrack-like collage/melange? mix of beat, traditional tonality and sound design

TheyEmergedFromtheGround_CICADAS(NaviarHaiku400)!

the intensity of heat and ice cold weather has something of the same effect.  The summer heat and icy ocean waters meet at sunset.  inspired by this Haiku by Natsume Soseki.                                                                                                           A red sun
Falls into the sea
What summer heat!

Languid Crystals of Heat and Ice(NaviarHaiku404)

Dense noise and or moody ambience, Summer ends Autumn begins.

BellsINtheMist(naviarhaiku332)

This started with a resynthesis of a sea eagle call-fascinating almost singing siren sort of sound transferred to drone like pad and bell sounds with   resynthesis of ocean waves.

voices recorded off mic processed to create babble like sound of sparrows. Interested in the contrast and blend of homemade metallic percussion an untuned "sink guitar" with perfectly tuned and smooth virtual instruments of keyboard and strings origins.Made in response to Naviar Haiku 353

TheSparrowCafe(NaviarHaiku353)

based on field recordings mostly in central Victoria box iron bark forest and farmland- guitar drone part also based on mapping/resynthesis of bird recordings

A busy day for the birds...

A soundscape of frogs and bird sounds with pitched instrument sounds triggered by plant sensors.. Based primarily on field recordings made in central Victoria box iron bark forest and farmland-occasional traffic still audible in the background!

A busy day for the frogs

field recordings, homemade and digital instruments- relaxed slow hot sunny day Atmos.

A Busy Day In The Hot Sun

a quick and  messy sketch imagining the scent and shape of a magnolia flower on a chilly morning

Magnolia Chill(naviarhaiku360)

Im waiting for some rain for all our thirsty fruiting plants and vegetables here..but somewhere else in the world it is no doubt raining right now... and sometimes the pause that rain brings is fruitful for people too:)
