Using slowed down fragments of recordings of pedalled piano notes, @stellato-strings touching her violin with the bow, a creaking piano stool and ticking clock, I created this piece using loops and effects on Ableton Live.

It's my contribution to this week's @naviar-records haiku prompt.

The title 'along' is taken from this haiku poem by Takashi Matsumoto:

'Flowing along
changing its colors
a soap bubble.'

Takashi Matsumoto was a Japanese poet originally from Tokyo. Born into a family deeply interested in nō theater, he also devoted himself to it in his youth until 1921, when he came into contact with Hototogisu magazine and haiku poetry. Beginning the following year, Matsumoto became a student of Takahama Kyoshi. In 1946, he launched the magazine Fue 笛 ('The Flute').

Based on Great Bells of Fire created by @ray_cobley and @33per: https://on.soundcloud.com/41Mg671BgkPgyLmX8

Feeling instantly inspired -- this reminded me of the duo work of Mark Fell and Will Guthrie -- I set about improvising some bassy, repetitive riffs on my Tele through 1440 looper, Pladask Elektrisk's Fabrikat and some other tone-shaping gadgets. Includes minuscule edits, albeit with loads of after-the-fact looping etc., to create more of an illusion of synchronicity. Enjoy!

More on the 654th weekly Disquiet Junto project, Just Notation — The Assignment: Interpret a graphic score by Franziska Baumann — at https://disquiet.com/0654/

The purpose of a musical score to me is a live performance of a piece of music which might or might not be recorded. Thinking about the graphic score vs. traditional sheet music I came to the conclusion that it must contain additional information specific to a certain instrument like timbre or knob movements or the like. So I tried to perform the piece with different instruments, Flute, Clarinet and Synths.

In the end I decided the piece was a trio for Korg NTS-1. The three voices can be identified by different colors and note sizes in the score. The notes are all Ds but on different octaves. Lines and textures give hints about knob movements and density.

Welcome to halF unusuaL, an evolving space inspired by play in the spirit of ‘hai’ (meaning “fun” or “unusual” in the word haiku). Here, improvisation connects the unexpected, mining the boundary between music and non-music to shape sound worlds that feel oddly familiar in their oddity. Listen freely, explore deeply, and for the sounds to live for your eyes as well as your ears, please stop by the YouTube channel. Thank you for joining this journey!
