haiku #621: Deutzia in full white - / deep in the night, / the Milky Way.

Little song for Ikenishi Gonsui haiku:

"Deutzia in full white -
deep in the night,
the Milky Way."

In my language:

"Deutzia tota blanca -
en la nit profunda,
la Via Làctia."

deep in the night [naviarhaiku621]

Oddity Deep in the Night
All sounds come exclusively from the GForce @gforce-software ODDITY3 — a beautiful emulation of the classic ARP Odyssey.
This piece leans toward reflective, melodic ambient, with that vintage cinematic/synth soundtrack vibe of the early electronic pioneers (Vangelis, Tomita, Wendy Carlos…).


Instrumental track inspired by this haiku:

Deutzia in full white –
deep in the night,
the Milky Way.

Deep in the Full White Night - naviarhaiku618

This piece made in response to this week's @naviar-records weekly haiku challenge was an involved process. I asked ChatGPT to use the letters of the extracted word (the "Deutzia") flower to create the note sequence for a melody. Which it did. 4 different versions of. I found these sequenes quite pleasing and found voices for them in Logic presets. From there I played each of them live in response to each other not using a time signature. However what took a great deal of time was rearranging these live parts so that it (sort of) makes sense as a musical progression. It's almost worked as an experiment, especially when I gave each voice room to breathe and have solo sections. If I was to really work on the piece seriously I'd change some notes and add more variance, but I'm pretty pleased with what's here. I've remained faithful to the notes and added some variance through transposing sections.

Here's the information about this week's challenge:

The haiku for this week:

Deutzia in full white -
deep in the night,
the Milky Way.

Naviar haiku challenge 621, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

While I used Voltage Modular to control everything I did an experiment and rather than generating any actual sounds I converted the sequenced and generative control messages to MIDI and routed them to external synths. As part of this I was able to take my own input and convert it into playable "Sparkly" bursts.

Synths used:
Omiharp - Puremagnetik
Aperuit - Puremagnetik
Speldosa - Klevgrand
Miniverse - Cherry Audio

The output of each then routed to various delays, filters and reverb effects. 


Although the only things recorded were MIDI information and mixer automation the track including note probabilities and velocity modulations, is as performed  apart from a little trimming for time.
