Macabre

Gates, bellsounds pitched down and overdriven sytnths

As By Incident Or Accident Featuring Martinsea And Michele Isoni [disquiet0593]

A mix of original field recordings with a touch of reverb.

Meadow Polyphony (naviarhaiku495)

Waltz Of The Invisible Seeds

Part 1 of the 6-part series "Polaris", music inspired by H. P. Lovecraft's short story of the same name:
https://soundcloud.com/velvetsomethingsuperdark/sets/polaris

"Into the north window of my chamber glows the Pole Star with uncanny light. All through the long hellish hours of blackness it shines there. And in the autumn of the year, when the winds from the north curse and whine, and the red-leaved trees of the swamp mutter things to one another in the small hours of the morning under the horned waning moon, I sit by the casement and watch that star..."
Beginning of the short-story POLARIS by H. P. Lovecraft, 1920

Polaris 1 - The Star

Caterpillar
Opens her new wings
Metamorphosis

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.

For this assignment I used my own submission from last week paired with a.a.miles Key Limit which then morphs into Michele Isoni's Chirper which is finally joined by Sunbear's lovely submission. All the parts where brought into ableton, slowed down by half and then warped back to their original pitch. After it was all sequenced I then used a bunch of puremagnetic effects to give the whole thing that worn out vibe (which also resulted in some strange drop outs and flutters which i left)

Many thanks to all that got involved, so many interesting takes on the assignment!

Blues In Two Phases [disquiet0610]

CRUSH

This Ableton Live-devised piece takes its title 'Tall,' from the first word of a haiku poem by John Hinks, a regular contributor of music and poetry to this Naviar community, who has recently passed away. Thank you for your gifts of art, @flownblue.

'Tall, wide-arching trees
Assume a cathedral shape
Until darkness falls'
 
I found out today that John passed away. John participated in the Naviar Haiku challenge for over 4 years, almost every week, and shared both his music and poetry with us. He'll be deeply missed.

"John Hinks, aka FlownBlue, was a prolific and talented composer, and a regular participant in the Haiku challenge. Aside from his solo project, John was also involved in multiple projects: ‘Windfall Light‘ (with Jim Tetlow), ‘Abstract Blue‘ (with Kevin Buckland), ‘Light Fragments‘ (with Steve Escott), Szukanie (with Michał Wojciechowski), and Meadowlight (with Emma Reed)."
