This was really god, teetering between very pretty and pretty scary. The snowy foot crunches were great, as was the real world guitar. Splendid Mr D!!

At least something good came out of the spring snowfall!

I'm liking the wind sounds thrown in there too! Nice additional touch to the snow and guitar.

The guitar adds a nice continuous touch as the piece develops

Disquiet Junto Project 0117: Naviar Junto Haiku

This week’s project involves members of the Disquiet Junto participating in another music-making community: the Naviar Haiku Project. Already members of the Junto have joined in the Naviar, and this is an opportunity to add to those ranks. Each week participants in the Naviar Haiku Project compose original pieces of music in response to a shared, provided haiku. The following are the steps for this week.

Step 1: This is the haiku for the 12th Naviar Haiku project entry:

“They encounter
A cathedral of ice
At the end of the world”

Step 2: Compose an original piece of music in response.

Step 3: Upload the file to the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud and describe your approach and process in the text field associated with the track.

Step 4: Also consider uploading the file to the Naviar Laboratory group on SoundCloud.

Step 5: Listen to other members’ tracks as they appear in the Disquiet Junto feed on SoundCloud, and comment on them when you have the time.

Additional Background: (1) At the end of every month a selection of tracks will be available on Naviar’s Bandcamp page as a pay-what-you-want album. (2) The haiku by Nite Rote. (3) The Naviar deadline is Wednesday, April 2, but this Junto project is to be completed by March 31. (4) The haiku was inspired by Werner Herzog’s documentary Encounters at the End of the World.

obsidian [naviarhaiku012 – they encounter / disquiet0117-naviarjunto]

I shouldn't but I had to….I'm writing a paper to conclude my studies at DIEM, Denmark for a degree in Electronic Music Composition - but this assignment sounded to good  when it landed in my inbox this morning...
I set out, as I had a pretty clear idea of what I wanted the track to sound like, and it wouldn't take long (did someone say naive?). I also wanted to try out my new interface for transferring digital audio from my iPad to my DAW - I ended up not using an sounds from the iPad, but anyhow I had fun trying and the excuse for working on this piece sounded good in my ears….What I did do, was using a couple of recordings of ice and snow, and a recording of a piano at a local thrift shop…and myself whispering the haiku. The ice and snow recordings where eq'ed a bit the piano went through Ambient a couple of times and once through a looper/delay in Reaktor. The final result is pretty close to what I thought of, before I started - as always things changed once I started experimenting with the material…but thats okay.

High coo [disquiet0117-naviarjunto] [Naviarhaiku012 – They encounter]

**Production Notes**

"Cathedral of ice?" Well, this had to be a drone. 

The base is an older piece, heavily filtered and treated. Added some Operator Sine bass here and there. The Pianos are from Boscomac (great free Reaktor stuff over there!) and the synth is Ye Good Ol’ Animoog on the iPhone - weeeee! Finally there were some last touches woth my new toy, a shortwave radio. 

Composing, arranging and mixing took 3 hours. Thanks for listening!

I took a walk through the woods by my house recording my snowy footsteps.  Looped and mashed those with yellofier and sector.  Built up the rest of the track with guitar and a handful of apps.

Hollow earth theory [Disquiet0117-Naviar Junto]

was thinking about disquietude >> fear and trembling >> landed on trepidatious for the alliteration (fear and trembling >> abraham and isaac, hence the silly AI generated image lol). a techno for those filled with angst and anxiety.

made on a modular synth, no post processing

This track started from a newspaper article (published in November 1973 in my home country). I processed it through a text-to-speech software and use it as a base to improvise melodies and rhythms. I then extracted elements that I liked and arranged them into the final piece.

The goal was to make the voice less audible as the track progresses. To achieve this, I used different set of effects on each sections of the track.

A solar day is defined as the time it takes for the Sun to return to the same position in the sky as observed from a fixed point on Earth. This rotation is the basis for the division of time into 24 hours, 60 minutes and 60 seconds.

heartbeat of the sun (disquiet0619)

I found a the beginnings of track using Felt Instruments' Helenko, and AudioThing's Noises as a drone. I added some muted piano with Felt Instruments' Lekko, and an additional drone with Arturia's Augmented Strings and TAL's Sampler.

li(ly_rics) ::: naviar haiku 519

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.

Music is not only a hobby, but a place of refuge.  
There are mostly ios creations but I'll play some guitar and what not here and there.  Sound is a giant sand box.  On going battle with hoarding got me an odd collection of instruments which I should learn how to record better.  I would be interested in more collaborations so inbox me if interested.  Good thing it wasn't the Apocalypse theres too much cool music I still have to hear :)
