This is based on a chord progression/melody I came up a few months ago. Added a few arpeggios and field recordings, and pushed everything through some nice moog-style ladder filters and saturation plugins.*

The footsteps you hear are taken from a field recording of me walking through Finnish snow :)

Finding instant inspiration in the provided haiku, I put this together in response to Naviar's 508th assignment "naviarhaiku508 – Deep, dark Summer night":

Deep, dark Summer night
A sudden shaft of moonlight
Blesses the temple

(John Hinks)

Not sure how well these sounds connect to the poetry, but in any event, this is what came to mind. May I direct your attention to the somewhat shrill, inside/outside yet meditative-ish melody making an entry around half of the way in. As usual, I keep adding backdoor enhancements, so check back periodically for (likely very minute) changes. (Densified on 15 Oct 2023)

Thanks for the inspiration, Marco and John.

This week, the prompt for Disquiet Junto 0634, "Bust a Move", asked us to build on a foundation of a piece of classical music heard through a wall or floor.

I chose Schubert's "Trio In E-Flat, Opus 100",  because I am a child of the 80s and The Hunger had a huge influence on me growing up as a babygoth.

I used a physical effect send to route the audio through a chain of guitar pedals, then loop back in to a new audio track in the DAW. I made three new tracks this way, with the pedals tweaked live, each one an interpretation of the source audio. The pedals I used were a Meris Enzo guitar synthesizer, an Eventide H9 Harmonizer, and the famous Walrus Audio ARP-87. 

NOTE: Headphones are recommended as a first line of defense against abduction. As a rule, Schubert never wore headphones. And we all know what happened to him.

Recorded at NOSIGNAL Multimedia Labs in The Shambles, Chicago USA

Like Santoka and Seisensui, Kawahigashi Hekigoto (1873-1937) was an important advocate of the free verse haiku.
Besides being a writer and critic of haiku, Hekigoto was a literary scholar, noh dancer, art critic, calligrapher, social commentator, and mountain climber.

"Melted Phosphoria" (disquiet0638) by RabMusicLab, SinnySounds2 & Jimmy Lem

During the early 1990s I studied Mathematics and Computer Science. The world wide web was still largely text-based and mostly empty. Today things are obviously different, though I still thoroughly enjoy art, design, cinema and music in all its forms. I have traveled all over the world for nearly two decades, visiting just over 140 countries. Japan is my favorite. All of this I attempt to incorporate into my music and art.
