Language in Paradise VIII

For the second part of the trio I added a track to two contributions of the first round: Dandante’s poem and Maybe Going Somewhere by He_Nu_Ri

For both, I added one layer of Plaits using various engines. For the poem, I also used the drum engines of Plaits to add a beat. Maybe going somewhere still is 96 BPM, D Major. The Poem is now 116 BPM and also D Major.

Thanks to Dandante and He_Nu_Ri for their tracks and Dylan Marlais Thomas for the poem.

He_nu_ru ’s original track is here

Disquiet Junto Project 0620: Beat Accrual Accrual
The Assignment: Turn someone’s slow-build beat into a finished track.

Step 1: In the previous project, people built beats that accrue slowly over time. Familiarize yourself with the instructions at disquiet.com/0619 5.

Step 2: Several of the musicians who participated last week have allowed their tracks to be reused for this project. The majority are in this playlist. If you’d like your track from the previous project included this week, just get in touch and let me know.


For this test I used 2 pieces from the previous compilation:
1) GoingModular - Disquieting Polyrhythm
2) fakeg3nius - [disquiet0619] Rhythm
 I was particularly fascinated by the loop, which with very few notes and chords manages to create this suspended sensation of strong melancholy and, at the same time, of hope. On the other hand, the response, dry and peremptory, of the phrasing and timbre of the drums. I added, at the beginning and end of the piece, some "disturbance" lines, always rhythmic.

Vernal Seas-naviarhaiku525

BobH came over on February 11th, hence the very clever song title. Sometimes we will jam something then look at each other and say how in God's name did we do that!  This time it was while we were recording.  Bob is playing the acoustic guitar and I'm on the electric guitar.  This is our one and only take.  All I did was to bring both tracks into Melodyne to adjust the volume of some notes and correct only three notes. Because it was recorded with a click track it was easy to bring in a Band-in-a-Box style for the remaining tracks.

The first thunder
Is likely to shake
The tiered doll stand.

Like Santoka and Seisensui, Kawahigashi Hekigoto (1873-1937) was an important advocate of the free verse haiku.
Besides being a writer and critic of haiku, Hekigoto was a literary scholar, noh dancer, art critic, calligrapher, social commentator, and mountain climber.

tiered [naviarhaiku531]

After my very dark piece I thought I should lighten it up a little.  Thus this song about beer drinking buddies on vacation.  Band-in-a-Box is supplying the backing tracks.

PS, I am not a singer so any suggestions you can offer would be gratefully appreciated.

  Hold my beer

v-The guys and I  were on a trip
in the mountains high
Drinking lots of beer
acting like crazy guys

v-I'll bet I can slide down this mountain
and miss those trees
just get me a sled
and do this please

c-hold my beer
hold my beer
all great adventures start with
hold my beer 
 
v-we came up in three cars
Two were filled with beer
I'm gonna have a great vacation
Cause the wife ain't here

v-while driving my Kia
on a warm winter day
I'll bet I can drive my car
Across that frozen bay 
 
c-hold my beer
hold my beer
Automotive submarines come by
hold my beer

v-We all brought our instruments
and were playing the blues
I think that was it
Because of all the booze



v-my buddy played a lead
a real shredder
I said give me the chance
And I'll play it better

c-hold my beer
hold my beer
all great guitar licks start with
hold my beer

c-hold my beer
hold my beer
all great adventures start with (3x)
hold my beer

Hold My Beer

We must undergo the pain
fight it hard but never numb
lips and knuckles can swell up
the kiss of death shall never come.
Grieving has to shake us up
to remove all stubborn smut
so that we could pristinely feel
zest in our guts.

I don't drink alone
I don't sink for sadness
I toast just for joy
in your presence and gladness
for love and beauty
in lust for life.

We must double our joy
not let this bliss be watered down
happy hearts may effervesce
they bubble free and can't be drowned.
Raise the glasses to wake up
chemistry in every sense
freeing the plague of luxury
contagious and intense.

I don't drink alone...

Let's get drunk together
off flavors of wines
off the aura in eyes that shine.
Let's taste the aromas
of the succulent sweeties
on our trips to nightly treats.

I don't drink alone...
