Hidden - (naviarhaiku504)

Many thanks to the relevant artists for the three tracks I used. I downloaded them simply because they are around the same length:
undermulden - Sleep Spindles
wasabicube - chwe deg
Johanthan Zorn - Disquiet0609 60bpm
After changing the tempo as required, extensive editing & a touch of reverb, this is the result.

(not so silent) watersnake ::: naviar haiku 507

This piece has been made by slowing down a violin looping played by @stellato-strings and the background chat by her, me and @kate-gallaher. It's the response to this week's @naviar-records haiku challenge, here's the details on that:

'in pre-dawn darkness
the avant-garde soundtrack
of orchestral rainfall'

“Earth is turned into water black and blue / And water after into air under very white,” wrote George Ripley in his 1471 work The Compound of Alchemy. “Of this Separation I find a like figure.” Heavy stuff.

Suss Müsik believes all sound to be a process of experiential transformation, a constant shifting of directional timbres and tones. Musically speaking, it’s difficult to explain why some sounds seem to have more success combined with others. It might simply be our biases at work (Suss Müsik, for example, uncovers alchemy in any classic Thom Bell production). Or perhaps something more mystic takes place on a subconsciously metaphysical level. 

The approach Suss Müsik took with this week’s Junto was to begin quite literally with blue and white noise, pushing and turning the voltages the same way an acoustic instrument might move air into water. The sound was manipulated by various self-built electronic gadgets and MIDI devices. The piece was composed (well, more like discovered) and recorded quickly to 8-track.

The piece is titled Tetraptative, a Middle English adjective whose only appearance in written or spoken form is believed to occur in Ripley’s text:

And Separation is called by Philosophers definition, 
Tetraptative dispersion of the said four elements.

Tetraptative [Disquiet0628]

I based my contribution on the short version of the recording. As I found the bell sound too fast, I slowed it down to half speed. I then played several layers of guitar over it, using Norns RPLS as effect.
