This is such a wonderful drone. The noise mixed in is brillaint, makes it very crisp and sparkly. Love this!

I recognised the rubbish track right away as I stopped and recorded one myself a couple of months back. It's an almost hypnotising sound isn't it? Works so well with the ambience here.

Process notes

On 02 Aug, I recorded Polysynth in Bitwig for 20 minutes after building an interesting modulation system. 

In the very early hours of 03 Aug, I recorded a Eurorack modular performance for 14 minutes.

This piece uses short sections of both along as re-imagined in Ableton Live. 

Tools used - Bitwig, Bitwig Polysynth, Eurorack modules (Nonlinear Circuits Dos Osc, O_c, Temps Utiles, Braids, Behringer Abacus & Neutron), Zoom H6, Ableton Live & native devices.

This original version of "This Body Is Not Dry" was submitted as part of Naviar Haiku 552, Stretching Ahead.

Stretching ahead -
the straight road,
loneliness.

by: Santoka Taneda

A wandering poet and ascetic Zen priest, Santōka was a disciple of Ogiwara Seisensui, one of the first poets to discard the traditional use of the 5-7-5 structure in haiku.

Santōka’s poetry emphasizes the necessity of *sabi* (solitude) in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment and serenity.

The Assignment: What’s it sound like when the devil lives across the street?

There is just one step for this project. The devil happens to live across the street from you. What’s it sound like on an average evening?

Thanks to Paolo Salvagione, who proposed this project many hundreds of projects ago.

Among the four great masters of Japanese haiku, Kobayashi Issa was the most prolific: during his lifetime he wrote over 20,000 haiku, hundreds of tanka, and several haibun. If you want to find out more about this prolific author I suggest you check out this database of his haiku.

burgundy and mustard yellow blends deep, resonant tones with warm, noise-textured layers, creating a sonic landscape that feels both grounded and luminous. burgundy evokes rich, velvety depths through slow, evolving piano tones that pulse like the quiet rhythm of breath, underscored by shadowy string and electronic harmonics that draw you inward.

mustard yellow brings a vibrant energy, introducing shimmering textures and radiant motifs that ripple like sunlight filtering through aged glass. These brighter elements weave through the composition, offering warmth and contrast against the darker foundation.

Together, burgundy and mustard yellow create a meditative balance, oscillating between earthy richness and ethereal light. This ambient track evokes quiet elegance and nostalgia, perfect for moments of introspection or creative inspiration.
