haiku #363: only a chirping insect / told me it was night / so bright was the moon

The quiet comedown — a soft crash into emotion after the high. Glowing pads, submerged rhythm, and that unmistakable TRMNL haze.

El Sol Es Naranja? - Ft RekLoos?

This track was edited from Lockdown Collaboration 1, recorded live at home on the 18th April 2020, exclusively using the wonderful music of @idin-samimi-mofakham and his partner @martyna-kosecka as source material. 

This was quite early on in Lockdown, when angst and worry seemed at its peak, so perhaps unsurprisingly, the piece has come out quite dark and ominous (though not as dark and scary as Hell Hath No Fury, which immediately precedes it!).

NaviarHaiku 363 :
only a chirping insect
told me it was night
so bright was the moon

written by. "Kinkaoo"  Ochi Etsujin (1656-1739)

This haiku reminds me of the full moon lit nights that do look like a spooky kind of daylight in the bush- from the chirping insects I imagine drifting back in moon time, many moons and thousands of years.

Many moons ago(NaviarHaiku363)

My original thought was to make a synth insect chirp, but in the end I started experimenting with cross modulating oscillators with noise, filters and VCAs and used that as a 'insect' texture. The bright repeated element was meant to evoke the procession of night, while the drones were the darkness and moon. I think some field recorded ambience would have been a nice addition, but overall it worked okay.

OneAmbient4 - Dreaming... So Bright Was The Moon (Naviarhaiku 363)

Boson Spin - Evening Bliss [part 4]

Hello SoundCloud friends...,  
From the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, I would like to take this time to THANK EVERYONE for listening to, and commenting on all my tracks. Hello!, I'm David Gordon, a.k.a. OneAmbient4, composer of layered ambient, space ambient and electronic music. Since the 1970's when electronic music made its way into my life, starting with Switched On Bach, Tomita, JMJ, and others, I became very interested in electronic music. But then, the equipment was too expensive to own. So I waited.... Along came computers and later VSTi's and software. Also the Synths have dropped in price. With the help of others, here I am. So please enjoy. For your best experience, use headphones. If you would like to use one of my productions in your works, please contact me.
Ps 100:1.
