heaven and earth:
neither exists apart from
snow fluttering down

From Heaven (naviarhaiku584)

Disquiet Junto Project 0689: Supporting Players The Assignment: Elevate the presence of your non-instrument equipment.

In my improvisation setup, using acoustic instruments with electronic effects chains, I prefer using a contact microphone. This prevents unwanted audio feedback (sound from the speakers feeding back into the microphone. But it can lead to issues with accidentally bumping against the table that the instrument is on, or touching the cable of the contact mic (which is extremely sensitive to handling noise). One of the effects chains I use a lot, uses transient detection to trigger recording to a buffer in a granular synth, and doing pitch analysis to allow tuned audio effects (like a tuned resonator in a feedback path). Accidentally brushing the mic cable can then lead to some unexpected results… which I often find rather pleasing, actually.
So for this piece, I wanted to give the granulated mic cable brushes and table bumps centre stage, playing a bit of duduk as a background layer.
