haiku #509: Disappearing / snow on mountain peak / unfurls a rainbow

A guitar-only ambient offering for the Disquiet Junto Project 0611: Music That Listens to Itself

The Assignment: Record a piece of music that repurposes itself as it proceeds.

This has my present-day performance being overdubbed on to a recording I made decades ago. Which lends a new meaning to this week's call for music that "listens to itself" .

In order to select a launching pad to work off of, I had a search around my personal sound library and found a sample I recorded on my tape deck back in 1992. This starts off the track, fed through various delay instances in Logic. 

Onto that, I overdubbed three guitar tracks using different settings/modes on the Pladask Elektrisk Fabrikat, a granular sampler/delay that plays and re-plays what you feed into it, changing the sounds constantly through its internal algorithms as it goes along - and I also opted to make it sound even more organic by keeping fiddling with the knobs as the sounds played back. 
I went for particularly calm, slow movements, in order to achieve that "meditative" and "particularly quiet" quality Marc (@disquiet) called for.

I am particularly fond of the tension between the material from then vs the recordings made now. What you're hearing on top of that basic track is a kind of bass line and two more mid-range/trebly Fabrikat tracks. Et voilá!

Enjoy!

naviarhaiku509 – Disappearing

Disappearing
snow on mountain peak
unfurls a rainbow

Sôen Nakagawa was a key figure in the transmission of Zen Buddhism from Japan to the Western world. Author Sean Murphy, in his “One Bird, One Stone: 108 Contemporary Zen Stories”, tells us an interesting story about the Zen Buddhist master during his time in the U.S.:

“Soen loved to walk around New York City. He’d stare at the lighted skyscrapers, at their tops, he claimed he saw Buddha figures in the lights. “Look at the Buddha,” he’d point, “Shining Buddha!” He’d fill the sleeves of his robes with nuts and berries from Central Park or herbs growing in the sidewalk cracks, and add them to his bowl at the next meal. He loved the musical Fiddler on the Roof, and when asked a question about why some particular point of ceremony needed to be performed in a certain way, he might burst into song, responding “Tradition…!”

I took some of @kate-gallaher's recorder loops from yesterday to make this response to the @naviar-records weekly haiku. 

Here's the details about this week's challenge:

Disappearing On Mountain (naviarhaiku509)

For this week's @disquiet challenge I returned to the use of field recordings that I'd mash together to create sound-based pieces when I got back into creative practice during lockdown in 2020. I was recording bird song this weekend, and by accident I'd switched the Zoom recorder on in my pocket when I got back to @kate-gallaher's house, so there's a speeded up version of me going through the door and making coffee that runs throughout all echoed up. I've taken fragments of @stellato-strings trying the looping machine alongside some of the bird and stream sounds I had taken that morning. So the piece becomes like entering a 5D portal of exterior and interior worlds, mixing up how I started making artworks and blending this with the editing composition practice I started developing first using Audacity, and now on Logic with all the big spangly effects 'n fings.

Arçon de Nièze - Song IV/V (Senglar Version)

Winter sky–
Distant dreams
Shattered and flown away
(Tr. by John Stevens)
A wandering poet and ascetic Zen priest, Santōka was a disciple of Ogiwara Seisensui, one of the first poets to discard the traditional use of the 5-7-5 structure in haiku.
Santōka’s poetry emphasizes the necessity of sabi (solitude) in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment and serenity.
