The author of the week is Takai Kito, a disciple of Yosa Buson. Despite becoming a professional haikai master in 1771, Kito remained one of Buson's most trusted disciples until the death of the great master and was the de facto coordinator of Buson's haikai group.

This turned out a bit more Hallowe'en than I was expecting, but given the date, maybe that's OK 😁💀🎃

drawn back by the sea.

Saitō Sanki (1900 – 1962) was a dentist who discovered his passion for haiku poetry in his mid-thirties, when his colleagues at the hospital in Soto Kanda convinced him to write a haiku for a collection. Later, he became one of the most important exponents of wartime haiku: he was imprisoned in 1940 during the government’s World War II persecution of controversial artists, and was officially forbidden to write until the end of the war.

Prima cosa, un doveroso ringraziamento a Remo De Vico, che ha offerto gratutamente diversi AMXD di sua progettazione.  Grazie soprattutto per i 4 progetti di Ableton riguardanti varie tecniche di Musica Generativa.

https://www.remodevicocomposer.eu/maxforlive/generative-music-techniques/

Per questo pezzo ho usato il primo progetto, che ha pilotato vari strumenti, tra cui i soliti piani preparati, 3 contrabbassi e un clarinetto.
IL tutto filtrato da reverberi, delays e altri FX.


First, a heartfelt "thank you" to Remo De Vico, who freely offered several AMXDs of his designs.
Thanks especially for the four Ableton projects covering various Generative Music techniques.

https://www.remodevicocomposer.eu/maxforlive/generative-music-techniques/

For this track I used the first project, which drove various instruments, including the usual prepared pianos, three double basses (with different settings), and a clarinet.
All filtered with reverbs, delays, and other FX.
