out of my dreams
the distant croaking

Ryōkan Taigu was a Japanese poet and calligrapher who lived during the Edo period. A Buddhist monk who lived much of his life as a hermit, Taigu spent most of his time writing poetry, calligraphy, and communing with nature. His poetry is often very simple and inspired by nature.

Challenge details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

The background dreamscape is made in virtual modular using VCV Rack; this is quickly augmented with a heavily processed sample from Freesound.  The sequenced elements in the latter half are generated by the probabilistic sequencer Stochas, feeding into a couple of instances of Solinoid, the orchestral synthesizer and near the end a frog.

Freesound sounds used:

just a moment of melancholy

雀（Sparrows）

すずめ
すずめ
転げて落ちた
親も子も
転げて落ちた
見向きもされず
見向きもされず
また死んだ

Sparrows, sparrows, sparrows tumbled down.
Parents and chicks all fell.
None of the passersby on the road looked at them.
Many sparrows died again today.

insect tremolo 
soberingly cools the heat 
of farmland roads

Sunlight Ripple (naviarhaiku604)

Part of: Dark Bouquet. Variations on a theme. soundcloud.com/velvetsomethingsuperdark/sets/dark-bouquet
All material - cut, altered, mixed at will - comes from a nocturnal solo improvisation with fretless acoustic bass guitar with piezo pickup, effect pedals (Carcosa - Dark Star - Obscura), non synchronized loops, three amps. Recorded in the room with Zoom H2n, edited in Audacity. All sounds made with the instrument. All sounds, mixing and production: Velvet Something Superdark.

Dark Flower Drone

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.
