haiku #557: I write, erase, rewrite / erase again, and then / a poppy blooms.

I never set out to make tracks like this... I even mean NOT to... but they seem to happen anyway!

Anyway, the image came first ... variants here: https://www.instagram.com/p/C2e27ago_j1/?img_index=2

And now there's a video:

Drowning (Gasp for air mix)

This track is a collaboration with Untitled Maruarder (New Mexico) https://soundcloud.com/untitledmarauder

A 'bump' was a short instrumental hip hop snippet between commercial breaks on 'adult swim', a vintage tv program in the USA. The bumps brought lofi and instrumental hip hop to a broader audience and are nostalgically remembered by fans of the genre.

Drawn to these laidback beats and enjoying Untitled Marauder's tracks I envisaged subtle guitar layers adding to the vibe. With Andre's nod to proceed I shared this version with him and we were both amused and quietly pleased with how the instruments and his sampling met.

Margus Sillan uses the track and creates unique clips based on short films for her radio channel. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdiJBc9l0Do

Asunder (naviarhaiku556)

I write, erase, rewrite
erase again, and then
a poppy blooms.

This is the death poem of Tachibana Hokushi, sometimes wrongly attributed to the Japanese painter Katsushika Hokusai.

Tachibana Hokushi, whose real name was Tachibana Genjiro, was born in Kanazawa in 1665. Hokushi was one of Basho’s most famous students at the time, and he even accompanied the great master during part of his famous journey through the narrow roads of the North, from Kanazawa to Matsuoka.

I write, erase, rewrite [naviarhaiku557]

Step 1: Imagine a bicycle race underway. Picture two competitors in the lead, running neck and neck for a long distance.  Step 2: Record a piece of music in which two prominent musical elements align, one each, with the two bicyclists in Step 1. How would you depict their rivalry as it unfolds, the give and take as each bicyclist strains to pull ahead of the other?.

I picked up an abandoned idea from a month ago, an acoustic bass guitar (left) that goes up the whole neck and then down with delays giving this steady marching/running feel. On the right channel an acoustic guitar tries to keep pace, all the way up and down the neck too, or sort of. Most of the time it's the bass that leads the race.  think in the end the guitar makes it though.  

I may re visit this and make a longer version one day  I mixed the first half (one way up, pause, one way down) , after that there are lots of  editing to do and I'm afraid it will be boring in the end (I recorded 3 cycles, up-down).  

I recorded the bass and a first take on guitar  in august 2024 and most of the guitar today, 5/Sep/2024

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)
