Piano Concerto No.3 (3rd movement) Op.36

aftulser

Hold your hands up to the sun,
Dance around, chant a song,
Swing your hips and have some fun,
Stomp your feet, vibrate the gong,
Shake the earth, embrace the air,
Sun is out, it's all around,
Dance your heart in to a prayer,
Listen to the sacred sound,
Circle of sol, enlighten your soul,
Rays of sunlight, solar power,
We are human, we are whole,
Consuming the sun like a sun flower,
Yellow sun that bakes the earth,
Essence of life it gives to we,
Fuel for the plants, bolsters the birth,
Taste the sunbeams, blaze of glee.

Oh, the golden mask of Ahau,
Oh, the golden mask of Ahau,
Oh, the golden mask of Ahau,
Oh, the golden mask of Ahau.

Sundance of Ahau (original unedited)

Mean Flow & Marco Lucchi - E.F.S. n1

A piece composed for the Naviar Haiku http://naviarlab.tumblr.com/

"Someone else's clock / During the long night / I count all the strikes"

This is a modular piece that uses two quantisers that are transposed throughout the piece such that they are never in the same key.  These drive two pairs of oscillators, one from each pair ring modulated with one from the other pair to give the bell like sounds. A lot of complex sequencing involving prime numbers and different length sequences ensures it never quite repeats.

Someone Else's Clock [naviarhaiku101 - Someone else's clock]

Through the ages
rising above the mountains
tonight's moon

Haiku by Inoue Shiro

http://naviarlab.tumblr.com/post/136732575773/naviarhaiku105-through-the-ages

The repeating sequence represents starlight (and the 'ages'), the brassy sound is the mountain, and the higher shimmering melodic line that appears gradually is the rising moon. 

Tonight's Moon [Naviarhaiku105 - Through the ages]

My attempt at some music for Naviar Haku 106: Sunrays.
I tried to represent the needles underfoot by the crispy noises, the dark mystery of the pine forest with the deep foreboding bass, offset by the brighter rays of sunlight, and then cut through by brighter shafts of light.

I am guessing the poem is saying that the pine trees look like snake gourds (which I hadn't heard of before - they are long and thin and hang down off their vines - I can imagine the trunks of pines would look like them in the bright sunshine?)

"Sunrays - 
Between the pines we see 
snake gourds"

Poem by Ichihara Tayo-Jo

Sunrays [Naviarhaiku106 - Sunrays]

This is my entry for this week's Naviar Haiku:

"The sleet falls / As if coming through the bottom / Of loneliness"
Haiku by Naito Joso

This is as usual 100% modular,  one take, straight into the  computer. The reverb is Strymon BigSky, and the Mix and Tone levels are being controlled by the modular via the expression pedal input. 

The Sleet Falls [Naviarhaiku107 - The Sleet Falls]

My entry for NaviarHaiku 114 - http://naviarlab.tumblr.com/

"Where do you come from? / Borders on Earth fall away / as we fly upwards" - poem by David Pulsford

This is a modular piece that uses multiple LFOs and envelopes both as modulation sources and as a method of triggering events (using a comparator) - meaning that the outcome is derived from simple rules but exhibits complex behaviour - much like the universe. And us. 

From Whence We Came (Naviarhaiku114 -where do you come from?)

My submission for this week's Naviar Haiku challenge. 
"The vast kelp forests / create spooky habitats / blocking out the sun" by Meg / Haiku Lizard.  
http://naviarlab.tumblr.com/post/141958661023/naviarhaiku117-the-vast-kelp-forests

The track uses three gradually shifting melodies with a lot of reverb (and no dry signal) as well as some echoes to give an underwater feel. The top end has been rolled off quite a bit to remove some of the 'light' , and the tone control on the reverb (Strymon Big Sky) has been severely cut to avoid the high frequencies.  The burbling noises are pink noise put through a resonant Wasp filter, which has the frequency swept by a random output, and is also occasionally pinged by a randomly triggered and very short envelope. This is panned randomy, and also each side of the stereo field is treated with different EQ and levels of reverb / echo.
