Hamlet's Mill [disquiet0554] alt version

This week's haiku, by Masaoka Shiki (1867-1902), inspired an improvisation on Equator2 VST synthesizer, played on two ROLI Seaboard Blocks, with added effects. Recorded and mixed in Reaper.

The Sound Of Water (naviarhaiku450)

This lovely haiku by Taylor Wray led me towards the Phrygian mode. My improvisation, in E Phrygian, is played on Babylon VST synth. Recorded and mixed in Reaper, with Frostbite2 added. Mastered with CloudBounce.

An electronic sequence, sounds created in Pure Data.

Slow Purple (naviarhaiku458)

Slow and relaxing track I composed to keep developing my skills of air control and timing. I tried to let the headjoint do it's job and give the digital effects room to breathe.

Sometimes I focus too much on controlling the metal tube attached to my face but when you play flute it's an extension of not just your hand but how you breathe as a human being. It's quite intimate and not always so easy to produce song with the ease of breathe I am grateful to have everyday.

Enjoy and be well.

Disquiet Junto Project 0573: Float Mode
The Assignment: Add material atop a pre-existing beat to form a complete track.

Note: This week’s project is the second part of a two-parter, following up last week’s, but you don’t need to have participated last week in order to do this one.

Step 1: You will be adding musical elements atop beats created last week by other members of the Disquiet Junto. Select a beat. There are beats from 30 or so musicians in the SoundCloud playlist:

Track notes:

Last week, Daniel Diaz's lovely jazz-oriented track stuck for me as something I'd like to rework.

https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz/2022wcgroove-disquiet0572

Without a really clear idea of where I wanted to take the track, I started by adding some sombre synth sounds over the top of Daniel's rhythm track and listening back to where things were going. I then listened to the harmonic aspects of the chord progression and reached out for my Telecaster, coaxing a kind of Bill Frissel meets Brokeback (via Tortoise) vibe...I think. Lastly, I added a little phasing to the rhythm track during the guitar solo and outro.

Dark Skies

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.
