This is my favorite part. Absolutely beautiful!

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0658: Re-Amplify. The assignment was to re-record and re-compose an organ improvisation by Daniel Glaus. This project was the last of three done in collaboration with 2024 Musikfestival Bern.

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0658 discussion thread on Lines:

This assignment took me out of my comfort zone. Although I appreciate dark and dissonant experimental music, I find it difficult to create that type of music myself – leaning to a more mellow ambient vibe. I really did enjoy the process and outcome though, so I might experiment more with other styles in the future.

I used about a six minute section of Daniel Glaus's "Kokytos", and re-amplified the more quiet sections to come close to the loudest parts. I then copied the WAV file to my iPhone. From there, I went outside to the deck behind our house. A gathering of crows, Scrub and Stellar Jays were calling loudly in the Oak trees nearby. I re-recorded "Kokytos" from the iPhone speaker, along with the bird calls and other ambient yard/neighborhood sounds, using a Tascam DR-100MK3 digital recorder. Maybe it was my imagination, but the birds seemed to be responding to the sounds coming out of the iPhone.

After copying the file to Ableton Live, I added reverb and other effects to two versions of the audio. Other tracks, a bell tone from a Buddhist temple and chopped up clips of a Japanese children's song about crows, were also added. I also played sliced random samples from "Kokytos" with a MIDI keyboard using the Jumble plugin by SoundGhost. Abstract photo by Greg Rosenke via Unsplash.

Elegy For Crows and Jays [disquiet0658]

Knowing when to stop applies to so many things in life but in this case it’s an exercise in trying to play double stops on the SWAM string instruments.

Sounds here are from SWAM Viola and Violin, BeatHawk Bombards and Bagpipes,  World Piano Drones, Bodhrán from the website of Santiago Molina and waves from the BBC.

What works for me to get consistent double stopping (two notes playing at once) using GeoShred is 

1) Change (in SWAM) Bow Polyphony from Mono String Crossing (the default) to Auto.
2) On the Advanced Settings page, make the SWAM window as big as possible and navigate right to the bottom. Change Auto Poly Detection time from 12 (the default) to the maximum of 30.969 🤨
3) Try playing two notes at once in GeoShred.
4) Repeat step 3 a gazillion times until it works consistently😊

#270 Knowing When To Stop

Resolution

Delve into the delicate beauty of Chopin's Waltz Op.69 No.2. with its lyrical melody and bittersweet undertones. This piece captures a moment of both elegance and introspection. I hope you enjoy my interpretation of this timeless waltz, as it gently transitions between moments of serenity and emotional depth. 

Thank you for listening!

***** Message to 4000 songs ****

Tuesday, November 26, 2024. Today is a truly special day for me, and I am delighted to share some wonderful news with all of you. On this crisp and beautifully clear autumn morning, the Piano Manyoshu has reached a remarkable milestone—its 4000th composition. This is a moment I could only dream of when I began this journey a decade ago. Day after day, I have created a new piece of music, and to stand here today, at this extraordinary juncture, is something I owe entirely to the love for music and the support and encouragement of each and every one of you. For that, I am deeply grateful.

The 4000th piece is titled "Has Not Love's Whisper Evermore Been Ceaseless." This name carries a profound sentiment—the infinite and enduring power of love and its gentle whispers that resonate within our hearts. As I composed this piece, I found myself reflecting on the past ten years: the moments, emotions, and sounds that have shaped this journey. The melody is tender yet tinged with melancholy, embodying a quiet passion that flows beneath its tranquil surface.

Among the four great masters of Japanese haiku, Kobayashi Issa was the most prolific: during his lifetime he wrote over 20,000 haiku, hundreds of tanka, and several haibun. If you want to find out more about this prolific author I suggest you check out this database of his haiku.
