Lucency (Quiet Version)

Happy to be back to contributing for the Disquiet Junto. This must be one of my favourite recurring Junto projects as it's so inspiring and fun. 

About my process: After a first attempt that didn't quite work, I found a good setting on my Pladask Elektrisk Fabrikat -- one that leaves lots of space for the next person to add stuff in -- and improvised what you're hearing here, off the top off my head. I love how the pedal introduces "holes" in the incoming guitar signal, reminds me a bit of William Basinski's "Disintegrating Loops". All of this recorded in Cubase, adding a pinch of reverb & delay.

I hope this inspires some of you to add their second part to it!

This is my response to this week's @naviar-records Haiku prompt.

Sound of mountain
sound of ocean
everywhere spring rain.

Sôen Nakagawa was a key figure in the transmission of Zen Buddhism from Japan to the Western world. Author Sean Murphy, in his “One Bird, One Stone: 108 Contemporary Zen Stories”, tells us an interesting story about the Zen Buddhist master during his time in the U.S.:

“Soen loved to walk around New York City. He’d stare at the lighted skyscrapers, at their tops, he claimed he saw Buddha figures in the lights. “Look at the Buddha,” he’d point, “Shining Buddha!” He’d fill the sleeves of his robes with nuts and berries from Central Park or herbs growing in the sidewalk cracks, and add them to his bowl at the next meal. He loved the musical Fiddler on the Roof, and when asked a question about why some particular point of ceremony needed to be performed in a certain way, he might burst into song, responding “Tradition…!”
