While I was thinking about what kind of song I should create, 
 I ended up finishing it. I can't clearly name the theme or the impression I had when listening to this song. However, for some reason I think acoustic jazz drums look good on it, so I published it.
 It seems like the fun part of the music has increased a little. 
 I would be happy if you could listen to it.

Only “passion” takes the lead (286)

Still, back in 1992. Impro of two monophonic synths straight to a cassette, poorly. Of course the Dadaist "lyrics" meant nothing at all... Originally titled "Cut-up avant-garde".

(1992) Cassette extravaganza

“Take the sound of the stone aging.”
Yoko Ono

Stones are the witnesses of: There are still deep connections to the archaic stories of our ancestors. We see the same skies, taste the same winds and tell the same stories about who we were and who we will become.

Stepping into the stones’s and sediments perspective: being exposed to the elements for ages and excavated, listening to the meandering tales of mankind.

The cormorant in the forest;
The cherry blossoms
Along the evening path.

Tan Taigi was a haiku poet of the Edo period. He was a wanderer for most of his life and admired by Yosa Buson for his ability to transcend his eclectic and unconventional lifestyle with sublime poetry.

The cormorant in the forest (naviarhaiku539)

Recorded, mixed and mastered on 12 May 2024 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa. This was also Day 1381 of the 100 Day Project.

Process notes - 

After recording and assembling a track based on Oblique Strategies for a future Magpie Pirates community collab compilation, I started in VCV Rack with a number of Stochastic Telegraph devices - Embellish, Ruminate, Memory, Drifter - and a pair of Bifaco Even VCOs, Atelier Palette, the wonderful Seriously Slow LFO by Frozen Wasteland, the SurgeXT delay and Bifaco’s Spring Reverb and then Biset’s Tree as a sequencer, along with VCAs, AD EGs, a clock, attenuverters, a limiter, scope, I/O and Nysthi’s Master Recorder2. 

I made three passes - 

- A 2:11 first pass, intended as raw material for the slow track
- A 0:02 mistake
- A final 3:49 pass, intended to not be slowed down.

I decided pretty quickly that I would use the mistake as a loop and that I would pitch things down 2-4 octaves. Too much high end for me.

I transferred these to three tracks in Live 12, repeating the 2 second one as the loop for dead center and panning the others left and right. I pitched down, drew fades in, ran it through Ozone 9 and that was it, really.

He's not your fiance

James is a multi-instrumentalist creator of music as well as a contemporary artist. He plays stringed instruments (guitars, cello, ukulele, bass, etc.) and uses a midi controller for any instruments he doesn't have access to; such as a timpani or a glockenspiel.

James creates music that is inspired by the pure love and joy of making music. The style of music he creates varies from piece to piece. He will go from songs that are accompanied by guitar or ukulele to full arrangements of a traditional North American band to orchestral scores that you could easily hear backing a film or video. 

By browsing his music you're likely to come across traditional pieces of music sounding as old as time and other pieces sounding as new as yesterday's jingle. 

Instruments inspire him to make new sounds come together to form music and combining old and new sounds is something he very much enjoys exploring.

While music and sounds are a big part of James' personality so is making art, graphics, and videos. James has worked professionally as a technical illustrator/graphics specialist since 1991. So James almost always creates art specifically for each piece of music he puts out into the world. The art may or may not be directly related to the piece of music in context but it will definitely give you another perspective on how the music has inspired him or makes him feel.

To learn more about James and/or see his art seek him out on Instagram.com and YouTube.com; he’s easy to find if you spell his name correctly.  A pseudonym also being used by James is Mildred Stain.
