The ocean in June:
Inhaling and exhaling,
But never speaking.
(Masaoka Shiki)

I live by the sea, and it's a beautiful day, so it was easy to picture the peaceful scene. The harmonic voices are imagined as two people silently watching the waves, thoughts arising but never spoken, only glances exchanged.

Regarded as the father of contemporary haiku, Masaoka Shiki was a poet and literary critic during the Meiji period Japan.

He advocated realistic observation by “sketching” (shasei) poems and going out into nature with notebooks, thus abandoning the traditional subjects of haiku of the time. His advice for an aspiring poet was, “Use both imaginary pictures and real ones, but prefer the real ones.”

Icicles Melting

Hey everybody! Besides from all the music, that came into being this year, it wasn't the easiest one for me. However, I'm really looking forward to the next decade, that is about to begin in a few days. :-)
May it be filled with music and, hopefully, with peace..!
But for now: May the last days of 2019 be quiet and joyful for you all!
Thanks for listening and 'hear you all back' next year,
The Spotlight Kid

H-Man - Patterns

I sat down to make music with the intention of finding a way to express my emotions at the moment, and I was confronted with a wall of mental noise, presented to me by all the music technology at my disposal. While I struggled to find my heart, my mind was busy thinking about technology and technique. After a bit of discussion with @dr.no and @Hawthorn, decided to run with that as the concept for the piece. This is the result. 

I decided to also take inspiration from #disquiet0460 and start with a tortured, complicated sound (evocative of the mental "noise" that comes from using music tech for expression) and transitions to the starting point, then returns to the chaos. 

I started with a simple arpeggio on a nylon guitar (which I later changed to a synth sound). Added a Bitwig Micro-pitch device set to an obscure Wilson scale, and added a send track with Output Portal (granulated pitch transformations in this case) & Thermal (more glitchy feedback fx) on it. Added automation to start with Micro-pitch wet, FX send volume, and global tempo set very high, decrescendo, and then re-crescendo, over the course of the track.
