Morning Meditations April 28

Morning Meditation April 28

Tried to improvise something listenable a few more times...:D

Artifact Blips (popcorn)

This is based on a chord progression/melody I came up a few months ago. Added a few arpeggios and field recordings, and pushed everything through some nice moog-style ladder filters and saturation plugins.*

The footsteps you hear are taken from a field recording of me walking through Finnish snow :)

*Arturia Filter MINI and Klanghelm SDDR

JVox -  Architect Of Truth (Senglar Rmx)

At SPILL Festival's Think Tank in February, 14 of us co-created an audio visual collage using the letters and poetry of Edward Fitzgerald (audio version here: https://soundcloud.com/leonclowes/something-of-a-queer-nature). This opened Jan Pulsford's Woodbridge Ambient Music Festival 2023 (https://woodbridgeambientmusicfestival.net/) on Friday.

Never one to let any scraps of sound materials go to waste (you should see the hoarding on my Google Drive), I took tiny fragments of sounds we recorded at SPILL (including the recorder playing by @kate-gallaher) and made this piece this week. I'm really rather pleased with it. Clever little thing, Logic Pro X. I call mine Larry: what do you call yours?

This is my response to this week's @naviar-records haiku challenge. Such an encouraging and kind community that Marcus puts a great deal of time and love into, and it really shows. I'm so grateful to have these weekly email prompts, listening back I'm so pleased with what I've taught myself and learned from others.

Here's the information about this week's @naviar-records haiku challenge:

summer sky…
rippling the silence
a watersnake

Janice Doppler spent her writing energy on grant proposals and curriculum development during her career as a teacher and school administrator. Retiring enabled her to develop her creative self—carving realistic birds from wood and nature journaling.

Her heart was captured by haiku during a senior-center workshop that she attended on a whim. Her haiku and haibun have been widely published. She placed second in the Porad Haiku Award in 2021 and 2022. Her collection, Stardust, is available on Amazon. You can read samples of her work at The Poet Hub.

Seven days to make music in response to the assigned haiku: to participate visit https://www.naviarrecords.com/about/naviar-haiku

Deadline: 27th September 2023

„Die Tasten die ich liebe” Teil IV. (11.12.2023 )

Die Kraft der Musik.
Ich habe es bewusst Pianomeditationen genannt. Zart und mitfühlend.
Wenn auch andere Instrumente begleitend mitwirken.
Hier also die Fortsetzung meiner Klangresonanzreise mit diesem vierten Teil der Pianomeditationen.

„Die Tasten die ich liebe“ Teil III. könnt Ihr unter diesem Link anhören:
https://soundcloud.com/cloppenburg-music/the-keys-i-love-part-iii

Klaviermusik einmal anders arrangiert mit zarten umwobenen Klangformen. 
Das Klavier bleibt immer noch Vordergrund der Komposition.
Jedes Klavier hat seine eigene Mystik und Klang. 
Sich auf den Klang einlassen und intensiv hineinhören ist gleichermaßen auch eine meditative Fokussierung auf die Musik.
Den Klängen folgen, nicht mehr denken. Nur auf sich selbst zu konzentrieren und entspannen. 
Musik ist heilsam für Menschen. 

Ich habe frei von allen Mustern der Klanggestaltung mich von den Klängen inspiriert leiten lassen. 
Improvisiert, mich dem Gefühl jeder Taste die einen Ton erzeugt hingegeben.
Ohne auf einen richtigen oder falschen Ton zu achten.
Denn eigentlich gibt es keinen falschen Ton. Alles ist Klang.
Ich komponiere nicht, ich werde komponiert.
Das Leben ist eine Komposition.

Jeder Körper ist anders und hat unterschiedliche Schwingungen.

So mit starte ich eine musikalische Reise mit den Tasten die ich liebe.
Eine Klaviermeditation zur Entspannung, zur Erholung, zur Heilung unserer Klangkörper.

Ich wünsche Euch liebevolle, beruhigende und entspannte Klangmomente.

Vielen Dank für Eure geschätzte Aufmerksamkeit.

“The keys I love” Part IV. (December 11, 2023)

The power of music.
I deliberately called it piano meditations. Tender and compassionate.
If other instruments also contribute.
So here is the continuation of my sound resonance journey with this fourth part of the piano meditations.

“The Keys I Love” Part III. you can listen at this link:
https://soundcloud.com/cloppenburg-music/the-keys-i-love-part-iii

Piano music arranged in a different way with delicate, interwoven sound forms.
The piano still remains at the forefront of the composition.
Every piano has its own mystique and sound.
Getting involved with the sound and listening intensively is also a meditative focus on the music.
Follow the sounds, stop thinking. Just concentrate on yourself and relax.
Music is healing for people.

Free from all patterns of sound design, I let myself be inspired by the sounds.
Improvised, surrendering to the feeling of every key producing a sound.
Without paying attention to a right or wrong tone.
Because there is actually no wrong tone. Everything is sound.
I don't compose, I am composed.
Life is a composition.

Every body is different and has different vibrations.

So I'm starting a musical journey with the keys I love.
A piano meditation for relaxation, recovery, and healing of our sound bodies.

I wish you loving, calming and relaxed sound moments.

Thank you for your valued attention.

Much like 'Addition by Subtraction' this song has a lot of dark jazz influence in it.
