Created in response to:

caged bird
glaring with envious eyes
at butterflies!

Naviar haiku challenge 594, details here  https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

Performed and mixed in a single live improvisation** from elements assembled in virtual modular using Voltage Modular from Cherry Audio. Other than mastering no additional effects were used.

For the caged canary I edited together the parts I liked from a set of samples I sourced from Freedsound:

     CanaryArtie-3.wav -- https://freesound.org/s/85403/ 
     CanaryArtie-1.wav -- https://freesound.org/s/85401/
     CanaryArtie-2.wav -- https://freesound.org/s/85402/ 
     CanaryArtie-4.wav -- https://freesound.org/s/85404/

This was randomised and extended using the Granular Synth module from Adroit Synthesis. After the first appearance of the "Butterflies" this song is distorted with envy using The Zeit Voltage-Controlled Delay Line and associated Time Stream Integrator both from Dome Music Technologies'  Zeit Year 50 Collection.

**  Having used probabilistic switching (DMT Bernoulli), to decide the direction of the Butterflies, which worked fine while developing the patch, during the recording the virtual coin came up Heads seven times in a row :) So yes I cheated and reversed the left/right channels on a couple of them.

Caged Bird - (naviarhaiku - 594)

One of my friends died today.... it seems this is an all too common theme these days. Too many of us are struggling to survive in an artificial world, where loneliness abounds and basic human needs are going unmet. Please be kind. Listen and let people know you care... because one day they might break under the weight of trying to survive and you won't get that chance 🖤 The world lost a wonderful human today. Rest in peace, Mic. This song is for you.

Lyrics:
Why? Why did you do it? I never got a chance to say goodbye. Goodbye...
Why did you go away?
Go away... why?
Why did you go away?
Away
Oooh
You made me cry because you've gone away
Gone away
No saying goodbye because you went away 
You went away
Ooh
Why? We never had a chance to say goodbye
Be at peace
Be at peace
You're released now
Be at peace
Be at peace
You're released now
Be at peace
You're released now
🤍

The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — Ovation guitar, lead vocals, lyrics, and composition
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums

Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Telecaster HSS electric guitar

This song began as Carl's tribute poem to our drummer, Ken. Carl came up with the chord progression and started a project, to which he invited the rest of us. This is the third song Eclectic Collective has done that is a tribute by Carl to one of our members.  We couldn't feel more honoured than to be the subjects of his wild and boundless creativity.
  Fittingly, Ken was first in line to add his magnificent drums. Once we had drums, Josh had something to work with to add his bass, which he did shortly after the drums were up. Mark paid the project a visit next, helping out with a bit of production editing, and dropping in a mad percussion solo using his VST timbale drums. Stephen jumped in soon after, adding the melodic electric guitar riffs that appear throughout. Not to be outdone, JJ added some sonically thickening electric piano, as well as the throwback psychedelic synth that pops up towards the end. Finally, Tez came along and added the electrifying solo that appears about a third of the way in, as well as the one at the end. 
  Once the recording was finished, we turned it over to Stephen to mix in his always professional manner. 
  This song is all about our very talented teammate and brother, Ken, and it is well deserved, too. As mentioned, this is the third song from Carl about one of us. It's hard to describe the feeling of having someone who you respect take the time and energy to think about you in such a positive way as to produce a song about you. Then to have all your buddies join in to amplify it to a solid song is just mind-blowing. We are all very grateful to Carl for not only sharing his music with us, but for his thoughtful consideration of each of us as subjects. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

(Original lyrics by The Perfect Dark)
Karakoram human
You decorate good future
As many lose their Gods
You stand tall as suture

Rhythmic mountain maestro
Each day, graft, working hard
So kids can eat
Bruised back sees very best of yard

Still, beats get born of evenings
Deep love finds joules to jam
May generation X soothe meaning
Let's teach the younger pussies what we can

To Ken, from pen, to page, to Music
To friends, Now is when, Good sage soup soothes us
Honest and brave, To Jesus he save
Kudos our maestro of percussive wave

Karakoram human
You decorate good future
As many lose their Gods
You stand tall as suture
Sticks in hand
Cymbals a floating
Snare and bass backbone gland
Tom'ed Ringo Star man keep quoting
Keep life steady paced by hand

To Ken, from pen, to page, to Music
To friends, Now is when, Good sage soup soothes us
Honest and brave, To Jesus he save
Kudos our maestro of percussive wave

Feeli`n fine

I'm primarily a visual artist both 2D and 3D, for the last decade I've operated almost exclusively in the digital 3D realm.   since the late 80s I've made periodic forays into the sonic world, MIDI sequencing, minimalism, musique concrète, found sounds  and improvisation. I am seldom happy with anything and seldom consider a piece finished.
