180324 : Deux heures on affronte les choses du ciel, lequel termine de se tordre, près de rompre. On persévère avec un rythme irrégulier. Il conserve de la résistance, qu’on déclenche par salves et qu’il réserve on ne sait trop comment. On chiale à demi. On apprend comment pousser vers l’avant mais on s’inquiète plus tard du manque à obéir qu’engage cette course sans bornes..

190524 : L’âpreté du dehors inscrit notre peine et cette peine, découverte, nous grise.

I Need You (Instrumental)

Inspired by:

a splash of colour
cherry tree petals drifting
silently falling

Naviar haiku challenge 585, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

The construction of this one is quite minimal, just two elements. Even though the track was performed and recorded in a single take it does have two distinct phases. 

The opening "Splash of colour" section was achieved with a simple VCV Rack virtual modular patch and a lot of experimental modulation, I used some external compression to even it out somewhat. With the modulation dialled back to little or nothing the same patch becomes a backdrop for the "Petals drifting" conclusion. For this I live improvised sparce single notes; very simple VCV patch piped to the Blackhole reverb from Eventide.

A Splash of Colour - (naviarhaiku - 585)

I’ll show you!

Peter Bargosian, vox
Sparky Bonehead, words and sound design

We were the teenage wasteland
Apathy with a skateboard
with sonic youth to guide us
Anarchy was ours and she 
provided us with nourishment
The tired and jaded kept us laughing
There was no future
only the remnants of someone else's vision
We took the scraps and built a temporary
Anti-contemporary

Nothing would last forever
only a shelter before the storm
And when the fall of society came 
we would dance and sing and revel in the rubble
Our inheritance

We were sub-culture gutter punks
Daze and daydream
Nights of folly,
they belonged to us
They told us it was wrong
but that's why we did it anyway
There was no future
Our inheritance

Temporary Anarchy

Heaven Can Wait

I am, on the maternal side, Haplogroup T
(Subclade T2) and, on the paternal side,
Haplogroup Q (M242)!
I have been walking the earth since the
early '50s. I am an ex-mill-rat,
ex-(Calumet)region-rat, ex-chemist,
dead-mathematician, ex-programmer,
musician, composer, earth-walker.
I have two musical directions, I play,
perform, and teach traditional Japanese
classical music for the shakuhachi
(an end blown bamboo flute), and I play,
compose, and perform experimental
electronic music. All the electronic music I
compose and perform is and can be done
in real-time (i.e. I don't use multi-tracking
or computer manipulation for my compositions).
Whenever I record anything, either electronic
or on the shakuhachi, it is done in real-time
just as it would have been done on the stage
or in an intimate setting.
