The space you created with your mix is massive, which you needed for such a diverse range of parts. I really enjoyed listening to how each part spoke to every other part as the track progressed. It made for an engaging listen. Very good work!

Blossoms Carpet the Water [NaviarHaiku514]

Last bloom before autumn
Stares back at me with a smile
My younger brother

Haiku by: John Wright  https://soundcloud.com/thgirwnhoj

About this interpretation: 

My 'younger brother' here is my (much) younger self in the early 1980s, pictured here, when I proudly owned an Octave Cat monosynth and a 4-track portastudio to make music with. What you hear is pre-planned; each part played by hand, multitracked, and bounced down to extend beyond the 4 cassette tracks available. So, for example, drums were recorded part by part, as was each note of each chord, each sound created from scratch - with no presets ... So, please be kind to my 'younger brother' before judging TOO harshly! ;-)

This is an original mixdown to stereo cassette, no editing or remixing - including the terrible 'drum break'! - so it couldn't be more authentic! Enjoy! 😜

This track is my contribution to the Disquiet Junto Project 0620 (details see below) and adds additional piano-based elements to the wonderful track https://soundcloud.com/robertknote/risse-disquiet0619 by @robertknote.
All new elements are based on the original track and were created by extracting Midi-information, reversing and pitching.

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!
