Here's my musical resonance to this week's haiku from @naviar-records.

slanting sunlight rays
a warm hazy afternoon
the forest to hear

Under the twilight sky (naviarhaiku595)

This is the first track I made using my newly built Big Dumb Sequencer by @isaac-beers. The first three rows of the sequencer control the pitch of the kick/bass and three NLC FM OP sine oscillators (triads/lead). The fourth row triggers the hi-hat, the fifth the snare, and the sixth modulates the NLC MORE cowbell's delay rate (XAOC Sarajewo). The gate row triggers the cowbell and the reset after 10 steps. I controlled the Weston B2 kick and sidechain envelope with another trigger sequencer and my master clock (PNW).

Shimmering Twilight (naviarhaiku595)

The Ambient/Electronic transmission channel of guitarist and producer Roland Reinke, "encym" explores un-guitaristic territory by layering, collaging and shaping improvised loops. 
This piece draws inspiration from two contrasting environments. The first is the my recent concerts in Japan, which prompted me to revisit a Logic project containing ambient set rehearsals prepared for this year’s performances. Among various sonic experiments—many of them focused on noise and pedal-based textures—I rediscovered a sparse, unembellished guitar composition. It reflects my own musical roots and cultural legacy: guitar playing in its most elemental form.
To ground the piece in a specific place and time, I layered it with a slowed-down field recording captured on the Osaka subway, creating a deep, immersive atmosphere. The result is a meditation on space and memory—anchored both in the familiarity of home and the surreal experience of being elsewhere.

This track came about over a period of time, adding little riffs of piano and finally, Simon creating an electronic 'ground'. It's a bit of a collage. I wondered if it was going to work at all. Now, I like it.

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)
