haiku #517: Early dawn’s pale light: / A gentle start to the day / Two seagulls gliding

Ambient-C

O que eu quiser

Dream

A kaleidoscopic depiction of my sense of wonder.
Haiku text by fectoper.
Haiku musical theme (initial koto loop) by Eva Grill https://soundcloud.com/eagri1967

Your mind's labyrinths.
Light that shines beyond your eyes.
The Universe blinks.

Haiku recited by an AI voice from https://speechgen.io/. 
No humans were harmed during the process.

My sense of wonder

My Sense Of Wonder

A Warm And Golden October by Marco Lucchi  Rework

Light By Eki Shola naviarhaiku516 – two seahorses

Early dawn’s pale light:
A gentle start to the day
Two seagulls gliding

The above haiku by John Hinks - https://soundcloud.com/flownblue - sets the 517th Naviar Records challenge. The track was composed using a straightforward MakeNoise patch, incorporating 0-C0AST (through Mimeophon) and Morphagene (through Erbe-verb) starring as the two seagulls, controlled by the 0-CTRL. In the accompanying video you can see how the haiku-simple sequence is adjusted and tweaked for a real-time, in-the-moment performance.

Epitaph (for Theo Calis 1960 - 2020)

Martin Hoogeboom: guitar/loop station
Marlon Wolterink: mastering

Theo and I have worked on countless music projects over the past 40 years. I have learned a lot from his stubborn and headstrong views and methods of recording and mixing music. His influence on my soundscapes is immense. In 2014 we both enjoyed working on “Where Do We Go From Here?” (2014 - Etched Traumas - ET77) which became also part of the soundtrack of Australian short movie “Grid Face”. Pieces for acoustic guitar and loop station.

In 2017 I worked on a sequel, the guitar suite "Licht". 
“Epitaph (for TC)” is originally a demo version of one of the pieces but unused in the “Licht” version as it appeared on CD (2018 “LIght / Well” - Thirsty Leaves Music - TLM019). Due to Theo’s health problems it was not possible to collaborate on this project but he appreciated the sober minimal guitar pieces for what they were.

I will remember Theo with great respect for the rest of my life.

Epitaph (for TC)

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.

If you are interested in collaborating in any way, contact him!
