haiku #432: Spring blossoms fading / Magnolia petals fall / The world grows older

This piece was inspired by the haiku for this weeks Naiver Haiku challenge (https://www.naviarrecords.com/2022/04/13/naviarhaiku432-spring-blossoms-fading/).
The piece has three layers: 1) A series of 10-note chords, no two alike.  2) A slow, deep bass line, and 3) A slow melody made of rapidly repeating, filtered plucked sounds.

Part I [disquiet0697]

My track notes regarding the creation of this track can be found here: https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0697-first-third/71838/18

The Assignment: Record the first third of a trio.

Please note: While this project is the start of a three-part sequence that will unfold over the course of three consecutive weeks, you can participate in any or all three of those parts.

Step 1: This week’s Junto project is the first in a sequence intended to encourage and reward collaboration. You will be recording something with the understanding that it will remain unfinished for the time being. Your part will be done, but more will happen. Read on.

Step 2: The plan is for you to record a short and original piece of music using any instrumentation of your choice. Conceive the piece as something that leaves room for something else — other instruments, other people — to join in. (Keep in mind that your piece resulting from this week’s project will be panned to the left in the second and third weeks of this sequence.)

Step 3: Record a short piece of music, roughly two to three minutes in length, as described in Step 2.

Step 4: This is important: be sure to make your track downloadable because it may be used by someone else in the next Disquiet Junto project, and the one after that.

SONG 93 - DisquietJunto0697 - First Third

Disquiet Junto Project 0698: Second Third
The Assignment: Record the second third of a trio.

There were many pieces I liked a lot from part 1 and I tried out a couple of combinations. 
I settled on the track by Samplair: https://soundcloud.com/user-248104983/disquiet0697. 

I combined this with a recording of some ‘extended technique’ zither. 
The extended technique being that the zither is excited using a fast rotating disc with a magnet attached to it. Depending on the frequency with which the magnet rotates (compared to the resonant frequencies of each string), it can force oscillations in one or more strings. The sound this produces is quite rich and complex with lots of movement.

Interestingly, the combination of these sounds, which can at times be quite harsh and distorted, with Samplair’s ‘nightmare carnival’ made for a track that I found… rather soothing.

Soothing nightmare carnival (disquiet0698) - with Samplair

Worked on this duo by e_nu_ri (@user-807707609) : https://soundcloud.com/user-807707609/bowed-and-jangled-farther-disquiet0698  based on this original track by 
@red_robin
https://soundcloud.com/red_robin/disquiet-junto-0697-mr-bowed-jangles

The all-synth background is great. I thought the contrast between those synth tracks and a warm, acoustic tone could be interesting, so I improvised a lead part on tenor ukulele. I also added an infra bass drone playing the tonic, and used a little software I’m beta testing that generates sound from a text prompt using some kind of AI (can’t say more here, but it’s fun for drones!).
It's like a dark, abstract recitativo, hope you like it.
