This week's haiku, by Natsume Soseki (1867-1916), inspired this improvisation on an Irish Bouzouki. Recorded and mixed in Reaper with added effects from Guitar Rig 6; mastered with CloudBounce.

A recording of Masai Mara(https://freesound.org/people/AugustSandberg/sounds/202874/) (wink to [Chris Watson's(https://chriswatsonreleases.bandcamp.com/track/river-mara-at-night)), downloaded from Freesound (thanks to [August Sandberg](https://freesound.org/people/AugustSandberg/)), is used as a "constant". Different filter and resonance configurations and tools (soundtoys' FilterFreaks, Phase Mistress; Lexicon PianoChords, FabFilter and Izotope EQs), with some time envelope graphical programming and LFOs, plus some massive reverbs, are applied on the ambiance, in order to create movement and sensations of unreality.

Frozen Regard (naviarhaiku534)

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.
