I had the pleasure of making this track for the Naviar Haiku challenge for the haiku below.

This was recorded in preparation for the https://soundcloud.com/naviar-records curated Naviar Haiku Fest at Cafe Oto, London, on 7 December.
More details here: https://www.cafeoto.co.uk/events/naviar-haiku-fest/

Music inspired by this haiku:

The spring sea:
all day long
undulating, undulating.

One of the four great haiku masters, Yosa Buson studied both Japanese and Chinese poetry. He was also an accomplished painter, and most of his poems were accompanied by paintings, resulting in a more diverse and individual set of works than the one by his main historical influence, Basho.

Music for a film that doesn't yet exist.

Messing about, layering my own sounds I recorded, re-worked and put in storage over the past few years.

Enjoy!

The Wakening Of The Sky [Bliss Version]

Hi all -- First track for Twenty Nineteen!

Enjoy!

Quietude

Hi all, this is for the new Junto project.

I have been messing about with my rig to get to a more live/looping feel in my music, by working on the guitar pedals and signal flow. Recorded in Ableton's looper, for lack of a hardware alternative.
This is a radically minimal-ised version of my recent track of the same name. It's been snowing heavily here, and that is where the inspiration & mood came from.

Quietude (Trio Initiate Disquiet0367)

This is a track that I premiered at one of the legendary CDR Projects nights at Plastic People, London (a club with a terrific sound system that had to close a few years ago, sadly). It sounded good down there, and so it was no surprise that Martin, who puts together the brilliant Touched compilations (for Macmillan Cancer Support), chose it for the Touched Two edition in 2014, alongside Autechre, Anders Ilar, Bibio, 808 State, Cristian Vogel and other luminaries.

If you like it, please get it from the "Buy" link above, as it's for a good cause!

This tune was done predominantly on the Machinedrum (the beats), a Jazz bass and a couple of takes of electric guitar, as well.

Thanks for listening!

Impromptu [90"]

By popular demand, I made a longer version of https://soundcloud.com/encymlll/33a. 

Basically, this one takes more time developing things, discreetly adding select guitar/OBNE Dark Star sounds while keeping true to the essence of the original recording.

Both tunes are now available as name your price downloads through the "Buy" link above.

Enjoy!

3:3 (pillow mix)

This is an ambient guitar improv, using essentially two pedals & two sounds. Very quick editing for the intro, followed by two passes of guitars for the main bit and chunks of noisier overdubs later on, recorded at the beginning of the session and initially intended to be the musical "motif". 

This took about an hour and a bit, which is to say it's nowhere near where it could be so Junto participants' valued feedback on where to take this very much invited & appreciated! Thanks.

Crossingborders [disquiet0379]

This was made on a blissful summer night with Chase Bliss Audio's Mood. All live, no overdubs, just minor edits.

Enjoy!

A Beginning

Find my most recent work at my main profile www.soundcloud.com/encym

This track is comprised of a couple of motifs that I came up with playing through the Chase Bliss Audio Mood, which has become an integral part of my setup.

Now available thru the fine Neotantra label:
https://neotantra.bandcamp.com/album/music-for-meditation

The music is only guitars, lots of looping, inspired very much by music I discovered while based in London, at various venues such as New River Studios (hence the name of this track), Vortex, Free Movements at Set Dalston, CDR at Plastic People, Cafe Oto, Servant Jazz Quarters, Power Lunches, Total Refreshment Centre, Birds Nest, Con Cellar Jazz, Waiting Room, Sebright Arms ....the list goes on.

Here's more live looping with just a Strat & Chase Bliss Mood. Enjoy!
