Curve of time -
a thought takes flight,
scent of a rose.

A Thought Takes Flight [NaviarHaiku577]

This is my response to this week's @naviar-records haiku challenge, which you can find more information on here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/naviarhaiku579-mount-asama/.

The haiku this week is by Yosa Buson:

Mount Asama
amidst its fumes and ash
fresh young leaves!

The image used is a portion of a picture by Wyxina Tresse.

A sweet side of coldest morning ...
Not everything is frozen yet
Here i come here we come

plunging my hand
into the lake...
billowing clouds

Among the four great masters of Japanese Haiku, Kobayashi Issa (1763-1828) was the most prolific: during his lifetime he wrote over 20,000 Haiku, hundreds of tanka, and several Haibun.

Thinking about the differences between the “behavioral” and the “physiological” music making activites as instructed in this week's @disquiet project (see more on the 687th weekly Disquiet Junto project, Applied Science — The Assignment: Record a piece of music that includes physiological and behavioral techniques — at https://disquiet.com/0687/) I made an instinctual first take riff on the 70s modular synth in Alchemy on Logic Pro, in response to the synth's rhythm, then layered this pattern in tracks knowing it would phase and create new rhythms inbetween.

Track 1 of Monarch's Ruin album. Monarch's Ruin is a concept project; the soundtrack of a non-existent dark fantasy film from the 80s. I took inspiration from films such as Hawk The Slayer and Conquest as well as 80s composers such as Vangelis. Of course it didn't end up sounding like any of those with loads of drones and reverb. I'm a big dungeon synth fan and I guess it's a combination of solar synth, noise synth, drone synth and soundtrack music. Possibly Dungeon Gaze. Anyway enjoy the Fantasy vibes.
It was recorded in one take with no overdubs/edits/samples with a PSR220 keyboard, an Akai drum machine, a theremin, a korg monotron, a doner b1, a behringer pro-1 and a bunch of pedals. 
If this proves popular enough I will put some cassette versions up on my Bandcamp. Link In Bio
I'm looking for gigs so if you are a promoter/booker and you like this, drop me a DM.

Death To The Monarch (Theme)

J.-E. Berendt: "Nada Brahma: the world is sound".  
Claus Bury: "The engineer pursues a goal and considers what means he can use to achieve it. 
The artist is not initially subject to any specific purpose. Only he is allowed to do totally crazy things."
Kenny Werner: "If you make music out of the world of thought, you miss the whole wonder of music."
