haiku #533: Flowing along / changing its colors / a soap bubble.

HAIKU MUSIC CHALLENGE

Naviarhaiku 532

Wordless
all day long
the shadow of a butterfly
 
Hōsai graduated from the Tokyo Imperial University, where he studied law. He got off to a good start but decided to give up his home, family, and business to jump from one militant religion of Japan to the other.

Just like Taneda Santoka, Hōsai abandoned the traditional verse form of his time and mostly looked at the austere confines of his life for inspiration.

Haiku by Hosai Ozaki

The Shadow of a Butterfly

The Shadow Of A Butterfly (naviarhaiku532)

Using slowed down fragments of recordings of pedalled piano notes, @stellato-strings touching her violin with the bow, a creaking piano stool and ticking clock, I created this piece using loops and effects on Ableton Live.

It's my contribution to this week's @naviar-records haiku prompt.

The title 'along' is taken from this haiku poem by Takashi Matsumoto:

'Flowing along
changing its colors
a soap bubble.'

Takashi Matsumoto was a Japanese poet originally from Tokyo. Born into a family deeply interested in nō theater, he also devoted himself to it in his youth until 1921, when he came into contact with Hototogisu magazine and haiku poetry. Beginning the following year, Matsumoto became a student of Takahama Kyoshi. In 1946, he launched the magazine Fue 笛 ('The Flute').

The image is from a fraction of a picture by Rodion Kutsaiev.

Process notes - 

I didn't really think too much about this. Every time I worked, I worked quickly with a good flow going.

…and then finally this…
Bassline Collab (disquiet0636) by Noodle Twister
https://soundcloud.com/noodletwister/bassline-collab-disquiet0636

- I used FL Studio’s ability to extract stems from the two collaboration tracks
- Imported all of this into a Live Session to have 11 tracks to work with.
- Bounced and split each stereo file to mono files
- Applied various effects - mainly Live’s native ones - and then let it sit for a few hours
- Came back to it very late at night into the morning to stretch, chop, arrange and apply another generation of effects - this time mainly M4L devices, with a few odd VSTs - until it sounded "complete" to me. I didn't need to add anything more to this.

Artwork: Edit and additions to disquiet’s original using Adobe Photoshop 2024 and Q’MIC-Qt.

Sleepless Motor Pathways (disquiet0639remix) by Fakeg3nius, Glitcher, SAMPLAIR & Jimmy Lem

This track symbolises the practice of tai chi and qigong to let the qi flow. Small, repeated movements help to focus on the flow.

This track was inspired by this week's Disquiet Junto project:

Flow Of Qi  (Disquiet0648)

Theme For A Road Less Traveled

This Track is about a constant repeating situation that at some point needs to change. It somehow resembles some experience i made in the past. You can only Change the Situation when you decide to take a Step into a new direction. 

I wrote this Orchestral Score in the past 4 months in Staffpad on the I pad Pro, later i mastered the Audio Stems from Staffpad in Cubase 14 Pro.  I got some inspiration for 8 Bars in Scaler 3 for the main Piano Theme. The Majority of Instruments used in Staffpad are Spitfire Symphony Orchestra as well as Cinesamples combined with addional texture elements. 

Same Story

violin bass clarinet and undercurrent omnisphere patch/ forebodingness abounds

Thank you all for your comments, because there is always room for improvement
I am still looking, trying and experimenting, I really like electronic ambient for many years, but it only works as a live percussionist. In short, nothing is black or white:)
In today's hectic world I need quiet sounds and the vast majority of songs created at night, so are my compositions such as they are.

My tracks is based on the absolute freedom of the use of sound. Arises as if I painted a picture. In the head is the base, and then adding the details here and there.
As well as if I were his music told the story.

I use: Ableton-Live-Suite with Partnerinstrumets, Kontakt Player + virtual instrumentzs,NI-Machine, Ableton Push, Acces Virus TI Snow, Waldorf Blofeld, AKAI MPK 49, Korg Microkorg XL+,KORG Kaossilator,Kaosspad,KORG Wavedrum, Roland HPD 20, nord lead A1 r, Yamaha mx49, Roland Edirol for Fieldrecordings - and various live percussion.(Kalimba, frame drum, tombak, koshi etc)
