haiku #503: Caterpillar / Opens her new wings / Metamorphosis

The Assignment: Use a picture of the clouds as a plan for adjusting your sound.

Step 1: Think about the use of a gate in music production. A gate can be described as an “on/off switch, allowing signals over threshold to pass while muting everything below.” (It’s likely that discussion will occur during this project regarding useful explanations of the concept.)

Step 2: Take a picture of some clouds.

Step 3: Think of how to interpret the clouds as a model of a gate.

Step 4: Record a track employing the approach you determined in Step 3 using the picture from Step 2.

Caterpillar  (Naviarhaiku 503 )

OK, so this strays a little from the junto brief, but this is where things led!

My field recording ended up being a noodling around on a SW radio dial, avoiding actual voices as much as possible ... The  resulting recording went through (iZotope RX) speech-to-text, which created the crazy text copied below.  That text then became the basis for the (Google) AI 'vocal', which inspired the final track ... a kind of bendy AI rap ... The SW radio recording is still in there somewhere as well ...

Here's the transcription of what the speech-to-text 'heard' - follow along! The track goes through the complete text twice:

According to expert Jane Reichhold, the hai of haiku means “joke, or fun, or unusual”, which is part of the inspiration behind the name halF unusuaL, the experimental electronic music project of Darren Bourne, who also writes haiku and has been published by the British Haiku Society. 

You can find Darren’s music on Soundcloud and Youtube, and check out his website to find out more about his publications and merchandise: https://www.halfunusual.com.

Fallen Blossoms

Fallen Blossoms (HaikuChallenge514)

All music written, recorded and performed by Ryan J Raffa in Taipei, Taiwan during late 2021 on moog matriarch, modular, fender rhodes, snare drums, cymbals, percussion, op1, tape machines, and field recorders.

Every sound was captured for this specific occasion

4 e and a is about the infinite spaces between. As a classically trained percussionist, Raffa sat in front of a metronome for the majority of their life. And in their mind, they would play with the spaces between those clicks. In especially challenging times, Ryan would attempt to expand and stretch those spaces into forever. Just existing in the between. This record is about these moments (and places) when we are living in those infinite spaces.

That time of intense musical focus was also Ryan's first introduction to an analog synthesizer. As a teenager, their drum teacher was Herb Flower, an incredible human with light beams of creative energy pouring out of him and his musical family at all times. A parent of another student of Mr. Flower’s was an electrical engineer who had recently been laid off during large cutbacks at Carrier, one of the major employers at that time in Syracuse where Raffa grew up. This parent, with their newly acquired free time, hand-built a drum machine, housed in a large wooden cabinet with 8 or so unmarked knobs, and they gave this synthesizer to Mr. Flower. The sound from that machine was glorious. And Mr. Flower, their drum teacher, would turn a few knobs, make a pattern and have me play along with it during rehearsal. These moments were such a gift, and I know those moments are still reverberating today. Raffa thinks about that time of experimentation, of exploration, of shared love of sound and music as a place that they can go to, a place we can all go to, whenever we choose.

I let fate take me by the throat
I love to be suffocated 
If fate dares to take my breath 
I will come on its face

Take Me by the Throat

A deep drone with a promise that may be fulfilled.
