Equilibrium (naviarhaiku603)

Created as a response to:

insect tremolo
soberingly cools the heat
of farmland roads

Naviar haiku challenge 603, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

Created using Voltage Modular and a lot of crickets from freesound. 

The synth elements are quite minimal and all driven semi-randomly, there's a fair amount of subtle random modulation built into each element so the final track, while a live take was mostly a mix with only a few other controls.

Small sections from the following samples; all from freesound and all CC0, 
 were assembled into a single file which was then randomly sampled using a granular synthesis module.

Inspired by the usual electronic 90'd suspects with Youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRMj5aQeHCo

A life of credit

Das Kind im Schatten  -(Final Rev. Ed.)-

ÜBER DEM LABYRINTH

One of Rolf Kasten's Playertron Stochastic patches for Voltage Modular( included with his Signal Path magazine) provided a firm foundation on which I was able to build the piece. I manipulated probabilities, bpm, pitch, as well as adding reverb using Waverley's Quadelay. I then applied some finishing touches in Reaper.
Another product of what I've learned about bringing creations to fruition in the SpaceDog's Kennel

call me

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.

Naviar is a music community and label. Through regular publications, open projects and events, we explore the connection between experimental music and traditional Japanese poetry.
