Chapter 246 of 266

Enter the enigmatic world of "TAFFETA," a musical tapestry woven from the threads of dreams and tragedy. Born from a single night of profound dreaming, this ambitious project embarks on an exploration of the human psyche through the language of instrumental music.

This is a five-year project, comprising of what will eventually end at 266 chapters, each is a standalone piece of sonic artistry, "TAFFETA" unfolds like a novel, with each composition serving as a chapter in a larger narrative. Crafted with meticulous care and creative fervor, every piece is birthed within the span of a week, capturing the essence of inspiration in its purest form.

But "TAFFETA" is more than just a collection of songs; it's a journey of the soul. Set against the backdrop of loss and longing, the project follows the story of a woman who slips into a coma following the untimely death of her husband. Through the evocative power of music, listeners are transported into her world, where emotions ebb and flow like the tides of a restless sea.

Week by week, each chapter of "TAFFETA" unfolds on SoundCloud, inviting audiences to immerse themselves in its haunting beauty. From cinematic compositions to haunting electronic soundscapes, each piece adds a layer to the intricate tapestry of sound, weaving a narrative that transcends the boundaries of language.

As listeners embark on this sonic voyage, they are invited to ponder the mysteries of existence, to confront the depths of sorrow and the resilience of the human spirit. "TAFFETA" is not merely a musical project; it's an experience—a testament to the transformative power of music to touch hearts, stir souls, and awaken the imagination.

Little song for Yatsuka Ishihara haiku:

"Faring over the lake
drawing the light
an autumn butterfly"

Faring over the light (naviarhaiku612)

Prompted by this haiku: 

faring over the lake
drawing the light
an autumn butterfly

Naviar haiku challenge 612, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

I made a single patch with multiple outputs in virtual modular using VCV Rack, splitting the audio this way allowed me to apply external effects selectively. There's also a layer of singing bowls played live while manipulating and recording the VCV elements, using the Healing 2 Lite virtual instrument from Quiet Music.

When time becomes a loop 2

Made with a toy walkie talkie within the Inverted Lands. 
Test 1: Testing for evidence of universal existential planned obsolescence
Observing portal structure as it pertains to physical law within "our" reality.
-Place walkie into portal set to channel 11
-Tuck you pants into your socks and shake your left elbow (as previously extracted from scratch garden ritual)
-While eating a baked good of any sort repeat three times: "I will survive, I will survive, I will survive."
-Wait and record what happens.
The following are the results of Test 1


Bleeping & Blooping (Test: 1)

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.
