Daybreak!  (Naviarhaiku 560 )

Recorded, mixed & mastered 26 Sep 2024 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa.

For this, I started by recording two phrases into Ableton Live on a Jay Turser MG-2 “Mustang” guitar tuned to F# A# C# G# C# F. For both loops - which were different lengths - I used PitchLoop89, some compression, a warp/stretch mode and a bit of chorus. Next I used a Rogue Fretless bass and then Cherry Audio’s ARP Pro Soloist. Other items used - Live native devices and Melda plugins.

This original version of "Red Over Seventeen" was submitted as part of Naviar Haiku 560, Daybreak!

Inoue Shiro (1742-1812) was a doctor and poet from Nagoya.

Another multi-part sprawling virtual modular patch assembled using VCV Rack. The separate parts were split and recorded simultaneously to multiple tracks; allowing the use off additional effects on several elements. 

This final version is mot quite as I'd envisaged it, I created multiple sequences intending them to overlap in am initial "Tempest", then drop them one by one as the tempest was interred in the snow. When, having set up physical controls, I came to perform and record it felt right to space things out. At the expense of  a real tempest I now have a daybreak section and the last sequence is still finally interred by the appropriately named Frostbite Reverb/delay plugin from Audio Thing: https://www.audiothing.net/effects/frostbite

Finally, more than a year after the initial idea, I can share this concept about the seasons with you.
It consists of several songs merged into a single track. The initial idea came about when I released the song Winter's Ending.
All the tracks are published individually here, with the exception of the interlude Maj (an improvised draft from 2022)
and the track Last Summer, which was completed recently.
Below is the timeline for the entire song.

0:00:00.000 ->  rites of passage
0:05:51.000  ->  Le printemps (avec l'hiver au coeur)
0:10:06.032  ->  Go outside
0:16:51.500   ->  Maj
0:18:30.000  ->  Last summer
0:21:54.022  ->  Autumn
0:26:03.405 ->  preludio all'inverno
0:31:22.534  ->  Winter's ending

I did a rough mix of everything, making sure there were no volume peaks.
There will definitely be further adjustments to follow within the structure to make the mix more consistent.

In the song Last Summer, two samples from freesound.org (processed by me) were used.

Due to SoundCloud's terrible algorithm, this track will not be highly recommended... It took me a lot of hard work to create it.
I am sharing it freely with you (beauty is free, at least I believe so)...
Therefore, if you like it and if you have the opportunity,
please consider sharing it with a repost, so that it reaches your followers or anyone else
Thank you for being here.


Stagioni *read notes please

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.
