Three Guitars Jam 2 (Encym & Drunken Forest Collab) 27/11/21 - Edited Highlights

This week's response to the @naviar-records haiku challenge is a cut from the improvisation session I did with @stellato-strings a few weeks back. It really is the gift that keeps on giving. This a live excerpt, no editing or adding.

I took the picture on a walk southside of the river opposite the Houses of Parliament a few days ago at sunset.

Disquiet Junto Project 0582: X Techno
The Assignment: Make a new subgenre.

Kraken Techno has to be plain 120bpm and 16th sequenced suction cups, but these have to drift apart in the course of the piece - like the tentacles do.

Disquiet Junto Project 0595: Filter Progression
The Assignment: Make music by processing a static sound.
More info on Disquiet Junto: disquiet.com/0595

[…] The numbers that form the first harmonics conform to the universe as our senses can perceive it. They form the legitimate human field in the magic world of sounds - the field that is open to us through the physical laws we depend on and the organs we posses, which are themselves in conformity with these laws. - A. Daniélou (Music and the Power of Sound p.26)

Harmonics are at the root of sounds as we perceive them. Their series and the possibilities given from the interaction with a filter inspired me to work with the first eleven harmonics of the series starting from the note A3 (A, A, E, A, C#, E, G, A, B, C, D#) I gradually added notes, raised filter cutoff, resonance and the volume of one of the two filters I used to get crescendo .
Today, 27th May is also Drone Day. Happy droning y'all!

I started off recording the series with 0-coast into Morphagene as a series of splices; due to the limits of range of 0-coast’s oscillator I transposed the last 3 notes of the series down one octave. Morphagene output went into QPAS’ low pass and smile pass outputs. Low pass output goes to right channel of XOH. Smile output goes into Mimeophon in green zone, then XOH’s left channel. 
As for modulation there are 3 sources: one sine LFO coming from Blue Marvin osc 2 set to minimum value, then into a mult that goes to QPAS Radiate left in and to Mimeophon Rate in and µ in. Wogglebug sends Smooth to a mult to go to Qpas Q, !¡!¡ and Radiate right inputs. QPAS freq 1 input is modulated by 0-coast slope circuit passed in its Voltage Math section and triggered by Wogglebug’s Int Clock out.
In Ableton I just added a bit of Shimmer to give some sparks.

Messed around in MuseScore for this week's challenge, for something different.

Early morning,
One star remaining,
It’s a good day too.

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.
