haiku #526: Turning around / I see my shadow / in the moonlight

Disquiet Junto Project 0621: The Leftovers
The Assignment: Use recently discarded material to make something new.

Step 1: At the end of the calendar year, people often participate in holidays that result in lots of leftover food. Think about the leftovers — discarded tracks, or MIDI files, or ideas — that result from your music-making process.

Step 2: Scrounge around on your hard drive and recording equipment, and in your memory, to access the sort of creative leftovers that came to mind in Step 1.

Step 3: Make a new track primarily using the resources that surfaced in Step 2. You can, of course, add new material. And be sure to reheat sufficiently.

Old test file of 3 Euclidean sequencers. 
1)  Steingraeber & Söhne piano - Hirajoshi
2) Tank drum - Dorian  C3 (Left channel)
3) Kalimba - Major Pentatonic A#3 (Right channel)

Some noise filters, used in an extremely controlled manner.

Very light track, performed on tiptoes.

AQUA III

AQUA III (disquiet0621)

Here is a small jazz impro, freely based on an old cuban folksong 🥥 while thinking of a forgotten old rum distillery, somewhere at an inaccessible beach in the caribbean tropics - a magical place that only a handful of people know about. (And if you listen closely, you can hear the quiet crackling of the rum fire in the background).

This track was created in answer to the Naviar Haiku challenge 526.

The main texture of the track wad made with a combination of the probabilistic synth Ongaku along with a drone layer created using Points And Lines. The various percussive sounds were added by passing contact recorded sound to Substrata for physical modelling. 

All three are from Giorgio Sancristoforo, informaiton can be found here: https://www.giorgiosancristoforo.net/softwares

Additional swooshes were added via a small virtual modular patch created with VCV Rack.

In My Head (Shapes Are Forming A New Horizon Mix)

The "Wasteland Survivors" is an atmospheric and immersive audio journey consisting of 8 meticulously crafted tracks. Each piece is designed to capture the essence of survival in desolate, post-apocalyptic settings. This collection is an ideal resource for game developers and content creators seeking to infuse their survival game environments with a soundscape that intensifies the experience of navigating through a barren and unforgiving wasteland.

Features of the "Wasteland Survivors" include:

    Post-Apocalyptic Ambiance: The tracks are imbued with a sense of desolation and resilience, mirroring the harsh conditions and the relentless spirit of survival in wasteland scenarios.

    Varied Musical Themes: From eerie, suspenseful melodies that reflect the uncertainty of a desolate world, to more intense rhythms that accompany moments of danger and combat, the collection offers a broad emotional range.

    Atmospheric Depth: Each composition is layered with textures that enhance the sense of immersion, whether it’s through haunting minimalistic tones or more dynamic, rhythmic patterns.

    Seamless Looping Capability: With gaming environments in mind, the tracks are designed to loop smoothly, allowing for a continuous and unobtrusive audio backdrop that enhances gameplay.

    High-Quality Production: The tracks are produced with high fidelity, ensuring clear and vibrant sound that complements the visual elements of the game.

    Adaptability for Various Game Phases: The music is versatile, fitting seamlessly into different phases of gameplay, from exploration and resource gathering to tense encounters with threats.

The "Wasteland Survivors" is not just a compilation of background tracks; it's an essential component for creating a compelling and immersive post-apocalyptic world. Its evocative soundscapes are designed to elevate the player's experience, making their journey through the wasteland not only a challenge of survival but a deeply atmospheric adventure.

1 - Phat Phrog Studio - Wasteland Survivors - Desperate Hour

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.
