Part of the disquiet0554 prompt to create a drone inspired by “Organ²/ASLSP” by John Cage. 

This piece switches chords once and uses filter and distortion adjustments to create different sounds and timbres throughout.

This is the final experiment I'm going to do using an Audacity cut up from the piano improvisation I did a few weeks back (thanks @stellato-strings for use of your lovely piano), and I'm still playing around with seeing what sounds I can maximise from the Garageband presets.

I'm creating material for a set by a canal bridge in Woodbridge for the Ambient Festival on 24th September: https://www.woodbridgeambientmusicfestival.com/#/saturday-floating/

All hail to the marvellous weekly Naviar Records Haiku challenge, details of this prompt below:

As a Nashville-born transplant to Rochester, New York, Taylor Wray has found short-form poetry to be the perfect antidote to the long, cold winters. Taylor is the author of two collections of haiku and senryū: WAITING FOR THE MOON and SINKING AND RESURFACING (both from Inspirebytes Omni Media).

For more of Taylor’s poetry, follow him on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook at @inthreelines, or visit https://linktr.ee/inthreelines.

This lovely haiku by Taylor Wray led me towards the Phrygian mode. My improvisation, in E Phrygian, is played on Babylon VST synth. Recorded and mixed in Reaper, with Frostbite2 added. Mastered with CloudBounce.

Falling leaves
deep in the forest
I see a buddha

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.

This is my submission for the Disquiet Junto 0559 and the assignment was: Compose your personal entrance and exit cues for conference calls.
Well, I can't make it more personal than by using my own name, including my first two official initials, so that will be H.F. Lasschuit. And then I let myself be inspired by the musical signatures of Bach and Shostakovitch. H is the German name for the B, La is the French name for the A, the S becomes E flat (which we call Es). "Uit" is Dutch for "the end". So for my entrance tone I use the two initials, H and F, that become B and F with some nice delay and for the exit tone La, S, S, C, H and "uit" become A, E flat, E flat, C, B and there it stops: the end! I gave them a nice filter sweep and drenched them in reverb.

Bits Of 2022 (disquiet0574)

Hedge

Here comes a shortened version of my brand new improvisation. This one is a bit serious, but I still hope that you like it. I played and recorded it today. Just pure piano performance. My improvisations are always "free", meaning that I play without any concept. The music is most spontaneous. Please enjoy and share! You can find the full version here, too. Unfortunately
Soundcloud limits recommendations to ten minutes playtime. Some of my improvisations are much longer and I am not willing to limit myself into any algorithm !!!!
