haiku #538: Only the moon remains / floating in the memory / upon Kinokawa River

At first a song but the instrumental seemed to sound quite right ^^

Feelin' away

FEELIN' AWAY (6 To 8)- Bruno C  (& New Nataly NGM painting)

When I sent @Rosindust a very first demo, the piece still didn't have a name. She asked me on WhatsApp "Ok, how do you want me to play it?" and I replied "Nervous, furious like... like.. Wait!" and I sent her a picture of Medusa from the famous painting by Caravaggio. :)
Actually this piece is a kind of playful revenge: her last piece she asked me to play had guitar parts that were difficult for me and when I recorded them I swore revenge to her with a fiendishly complicated piece for 2 violins :) But, as always, she was so brilliant! We used 2 violins, a classical guitar, an electric bass and a piano. Here all our collaborations: soundcloud.com/francescocartocci/sets/grazie-tatiana

Composition and all arrangements: Francesco Cartocci

Medusa - with Rosin dust

Left Alone

This is the first finished draft from an album I am working on called 'enough'. I've decided to upload everything that I create for this project as I finish it to keep me honest about keeping on keeping on.

It's been a hell of a time recently and enough is about what that means (for me and anyone else caught up in this shit).

So what is enough?

Do I have enough? Or have had enough? (Am I willing to tap the mat and yell uncle?) Or, if I'll stubbornly keep stumbling along, refusing to give in, then how can I become the version of enough that my life and the people in it need me to be?

Have you had enough of inane questions? I have...

And, I don't know any answers anyway, so i hide in front of my computer chopping samples together into weird little sketches, all the time hoping that the answers will be transmit to me through the sounds that claw their way out from my Audacity projects.

No such luck (yet) so I gots to keep on chopping.

Departing from the sample-based sound of his previous releases, the sonic palette of Hybrid instead draws heavily on the synthetic sounds of MIDI instruments, synth presets, and VSTs.

Diagonal Fiction

Fugues Op.4 No.21

Only the moon remains
floating in the memory upon
Kinokawa River
 
There's so little information about this amazing renga poet that I decided to share another poem written by him. This one is part of a longer sequence, written in 1463:

Only the moon remains
floating in the memory upon
Kinokawa River—
pale glistening waves,
the blank wake of drowned men.
 
About this poem, the author said: "Among the hundreds and thousands who have drowned and perished in this river
due to the disorders in this province were those whom I knew in former days. Often
I would walk along the river, gazing at the moon."

(Heart's Flower - The Life and Poetry of Shinkei)

Shinkei (1406-75) was a renowned renga poet and critic, best known for his two-part work "Sasamegoto" (Murmured Conversations). To find out more about this interesting and largely unknown poet-priest, I recommend reading Heart's Flower - The Life and Poetry of Shinkei by Esperanza Ramirez-Christensen

Contribution to Naviar Haiku challenge 538:

Only the moon remains
floating in the memory upon
Kinokawa River

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

I made the river the central element and created the ambience using samples form Freesound then added generative drone elements in virtual modular using VCV Rack. I  let that run and played an improvised layer using a free Shakuhachi sample pack from Samplephonics: https://www.samplephonics.com/products?term=Shakuhachi  with added reverb.


Freesound samples used:

Ambiance_Brook_Calm_Stereo by Nox_Sound,
Water dripping down rocks at the edge of the dam in St Saturnin Les Apt, France by Raphael.Malf...,
water on rocks, calm, manitoulin by TRP
Mineiros Brasil selva - 3.12.17 - midnight frog chorus long by 
samwd,
frogpocalypse by spoonboysf.

Started this in September 2020 but then got busy and put it aside. It took Jupiter and Saturn to come closest to each other in 400 years to finally finish it on December 21, 2020. :)

Nocturne Nº.8 - Jupiter and Saturn Great Conjunction

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.
