Beautiful integration of field recordings, nice calm sound journey

Fantasy Variations on a Wooden Peg
The creation of this work was drawn from composer's memory of childhood. When he was a child, while he was crying, suffering, or in a restless state, his mother would turn the wooden pegs(https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DHiu2gUKPZE8e-ree2Jg-02NfoqmVOyQ/view?usp=sharing) on the bed to create some sounds to attract his attention to let him calm down! The main function of wooden pegs installed on bed is to hang the clothes while sleeping. But if you use different strength to poke it or turn it in , it can make interesting sounds like birds chirping, doors squeezing, or even piercing screams. 
Based on this bedside memory, the composer recorded the sound of wooden peg on the 60-years old ancient bed. Just like his mother, he improvised on this installation, trying to create various possible sounds, even a sound art piece. Those recorded sonic clips were then manipulated through the technique similar to “developing variation” to work out all the possibilities of transformation of the material.The processed sounds were then “organized”(in E. Varèse’s word) or “digital micro-montaged”(in H. Vaggione’s word) to build up a musical composition with artistic interests which may bring endless and fantastic imagination to the listener.  
Fantasy Variations on a Wooden Peg was created and finished at the Sound Lab at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University(NYCU) in Taiwan on October of 2024.

half-asleep eyes - Naviarhaiku611

Little song forSaitō Sanki haiku:

"An autumn nightfall
the skeleton of a huge fish
drawn back by the sea."

I translate the title to my language, catalan. "Drawn back by the sea" is "Arrossegat per la mar" on my island. In Catalonia, they say: "Arrossegat pel mar". The Balearic form is more poetic for me.

I hope the Wild Edges speak for themselves. The rest is what happens between them.

I have limited know how and equipment, but think that feeling is more important than hardware and technical ability. 

I decided to stop liking other artists tracks, even if i do like them. I was feeling the pressure to like tracks when i listened to them, especially when people sent them to me to listen to, worried that if i didn't i would upset or offend the artist if i didn't like them, its easier just to like privately. Misunderstandings sadly happened too easily, so i'm distancing myself from the possibility of hurting anyone and of being hurt myself.  Maybe it is better being alone after all. Soundcloud is just like anywhere else where there are lots of people...it can be difficult.

I won't follow, listen, or like, for followers, listens, and likes, so, please, don't ask me to. 

This is a creative escape.

I am always trying to be quiet, but often fail, and to do better.
