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-1.wav -- https://freesound.org/s/85401/

     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)

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.
