I read the haiku and imagined the smell of a rose and all the interesting places our memories can go to.  All sounds are native devices in Ableton Live, using my own presets/racks, all being played by multiple instances of a sequencer I put together in Max For Live with the help of Claude.ai. 

This original version of "No Drip" was submitted as part of Naviar Haiku 577, Curve Of Time.

Curve of time -
a thought takes flight,
scent of a rose.

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0682: Unring a Bell. The Assignment: What if you could?

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0682 discussion thread on Lines:

My interpretation of un-ringing was based on bell tones morphing and unraveling into other sounds. Initially tried to create this soundscape in Ableton Live but nothing seemed to click. Finally settled on using a small modular system for production. 

Put together a Morphagene reel in Adobe Audition using bell samples as well as atmospheric sounds from freesound.org. The patch routing went from Make Noise Morphagene, Bastl Ikarie, Holocene NLMM, and finally a Make Noise XOH out to an audio interface to Ableton. Manually played Morphagene as the composition progressed. Recorded and deleted multiple versions, till I was finally satisfied with this one. Added a bit of delay and reverb with Valhalla Supermassive. Bells photo by Shaouraav Shreshtha via Unsplash.

The Assignment: What if you could?

There is just one step to this project. The idea that one cannot “unring a bell” is a fairly common saying, at least in English. But what if you could? What might it sound like? And what use might the unrung bell serve in the making of music. Please record a track in which you try to unring a bell.

I created this track for Disquiet Junto Project 0712. The assignment involved creating a rhythm by interpreting a barcode. I interpreted the thin lines of the barcode as snare hits and the thick lines as kick drum. I programmed the snare and kick hits into my sequencer with spacing loosely following the spacing in the barcode. I improvised various keys parts over this rhythm. The number code in the barcode guided note selection. To decide which notes I could select from, I set 0 at a Bb, then counting up or down in half steps I could use any notes that were numerically represented in the barcode.
