Another generative patch from Norns + a synth obtained by making Ableton generate a MIDI track from the Norns' one. Of course asking the software to translate such a complex material into a melody leads to errors...but this is what i wanted: i just corrected the passages i didn't like. Other sounds are some hand manipulated pieces of polystyrene and the lid of a metal pot of which i re-sequenced the beats and randomized pitch (in a quite complicate and subtle way that probably makes no audible difference, but it was fun to do)

BEEP Episode 29 Sach Motee And Troy Allan

this is a contribution to the haiku challenge of naviar records #581:

plunging my hand
into the lake...
billowing clouds

-Kobayashi Issa -

touching the water (naviarhaiku581)

I recorded some toy glockenspiel on top of my telecaster. On the other track good old electric guitar feedback.

Tulppaanit

except for the introduction, found in this year this is an idea from last year.. originally thought as an opening for the song entitled Go outside.
Take three, Only a minimal editing was applied

Work in progress

Le printemps (avec l'hiver au cœur) *Take three

voices rest

Created as a response to:

insect tremolo
soberingly cools the heat
of farmland roads

Naviar haiku challenge 603, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

Created using Voltage Modular and a lot of crickets from freesound. 

The synth elements are quite minimal and all driven semi-randomly, there's a fair amount of subtle random modulation built into each element so the final track, while a live take was mostly a mix with only a few other controls.

Small sections from the following samples; all from freesound and all CC0, 
 were assembled into a single file which was then randomly sampled using a granular synthesis module.
