This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0669: Phonosynthesis
The Assignment: Make music to help a forest regenerate.

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0669 discussion thread on Lines:

Hope the music that we've all created will help forests to grow and flourish. The trees and their friends here in our yard seemed appreciative when I played this for them. 

Created with Ableton Live using Slate+Ash Choreographs, Spectres, and Max4Live devices along with loops, samples and field recordings. Valhalla Delay and Arturia Fragments were used for effects. Photo is from a native Monterey Pine forest next to where I live here in California.

Disquiet Junto Project 0670: Right of Way
The Assignment: Music for turn signals.

With an indicator, we either want to turn only left or only right, but in my head it was always left or right within the same indicator. So I added some undecided strings. And because life has many surprises in store that don't want to fit into the constant back and forth, these one too.

For this I used 3 instances of VCV Rack running Voxglitch ArpSeq within Ableton Live. In Live, I was running FL Studio with Sytrus loaded, Live's Wavetable and Arturia's Arp 2600. From about 23 minutes, I used this small section towards the end and did a bit of editing.

This original version of "So Glad To See You Again" was submitted as part of Naviar Haiku 571, Stillness.  

stillness:
the sound of petals
sifting down together.
by: Miura Chora

Miura Chora (1729-1780) was a Japanese poet from Toba (present-day Mie Prefecture). Early in his career, he came into contact with the Teimon School, and bonded with the great Yosa Buson. An admirer of Matsuo Bashō, he strived for a return to the simple tones and spirit of the latter's poetics, criticizing the vulgarization of haiku of his era and advocating the so-called "return" to a Bashō's style.

no bigger than the moon - #4061 (89R53 percent 475 left) by chair house 250126

This track is my interpretation of: 

Curve of time -
a thought takes flight,
scent of a rose.

Naviar Haiku challenge 577, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

All done with Voltage Modular (Virtual modular environment) from Cherry audio making heavy use of the modules from Dome Music Technologies.  There were too many elements to record this in one go, I neither have enough physical controls of hands. so split it into sections; each recorded as a live, one take performance, following on from and adding to each other.  

I think I hit all the elements for this one.
Curve of Time: A bit of obvious vintage synth, cheesy but who doesn't enjoy a bit of quality Gouda? 
One thought takes flight from the rest.
And I can scent a rose.
But beyond the obvious dairy products placing the element is up to you.

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.
