Haiku #230:To the end of the field / All alone I go / Autumn sky

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

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.

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?)

... little sponanous jam in two layers, played with EWI ... , each in one go ..... fast and easy :) ... why should a sax player use a breath controller ? ... yes ..... bariton sax is the most expensive :D

This week's Haiku is by Natsume Soseki:
To the end of the field / all alone I go / Autumn sky.

This piece is a self-paying patch on my modular synth, all I did after wiring up the cables was press record and then set it in motion, choosing a nice cadence to end on.

To The End Of The Field (naviarhaiku230)
