Naviar Broadcast #259 – distant hills – Wednesday 15th March 2023

Rock guitar based track with great vocals asks for answers to life's questions.

Now I'm Searchin'

This track was inspired by the Disquiet Junto Project 0604 (details see below): 
My track https://soundcloud.com/rabmusiclab/parsimony was remixed by implementing gates on the different instruments. For each instrument a line was drawn on the cover-photo, and the opening and closing of the gates was determined by the colours of the clouds along the line. 

Since the original track was called parsimony (as a result of Ockham's razor), the title of this track was quickly determined.

Drift Like a Butterfly (naviarhaiku501)

This week's haiku, by Enomoto Seifu (1732-1815), led me to this improvisation on Mai Tai VST synth. Recorded in Studio One and edited in Reaper, with Frostbite added.

Drifting Butterfly (naviarhaiku501)

Operator tank

Original artwork, lyrics, arrangement and performance by Evan McDoniels.

Softly and surely as light as the snow
Whispers and wanders, a spark in the cold
Who decides if we live or we die?
Only an electric heart

Something drifts away, light as the dew
Underneath a cascade of doves gentle coo
A fawn, a tadpole, rhythms start
Only an electric heart

Deftly and nimbly, twisting and turning
An orb of light plays in the prairie still burning
Who decides if light is alive?
Only an electric heart

Electric Heart

Talk Talk

Sounds of an Atmospheric Rumble
a higher-frequency thunder being dampened as it travels through the atmosphere.

Created using Logic Pro X
Alchemy Pads

Produced in the ARAPA Music Studio
Sydney - Australia

Atmospheric Rumble

Recorded in Formby, England 2010 and 2013 and inspired by the myths and legends of Glastonbury and The Isle of Avalon.

Pilgrimage

My music is freely improvised, usually on VST synthesizers, sometimes fretless bass, guitar, occasionally electric viola or cello, with a variety of effects pedals. Solo music is performed live and recorded as 'FlownBlue'.  I am also in four improvising duos: 'Windfall Light' (with Jim Tetlow), 'Abstract Blue' (with Kevin Buckland), 'Light Fragments' (with Steve Escott), and Szukanie (with Michał Wojciechowski). I'm a member of the Quadelectronic improv group based in Leicester, UK. Duo music is all on Bandcamp - links below.
