it all begins with a spark.   an idea.  a promise.   then it's about the instruments.   then about balancing all of the things i want it to do.  as simple as that.

Winter waterfall [naviarhaiku607]

PEST

As will as the haiku:

revealing in the dark
the sadness of things
a fisherman's torch

this also takes cues from the accompanying image, which together make up Naviar Haiku challenge 609, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

A bit of a change for this one, I didn't use anything modular and didn't do everything in a single take.   However with the waves field recording, chord sequence, (technically dyads), played using a custom patch for Dreamsynth from Cherry Audio:  https://cherryaudio.com/products/dreamsynth and the footsteps at the beginning in place. 

I then recoded volume automation for those elements allowing me to live mix them with my performance using the Creature From The ID stand alone synth by Giorgio Sancristoforo: https://www.giorgiosancristoforo.net/softwares which was passed through delay and reverb effects, in place as I recorded so I could judge their effect. 

With those main elements done I added the extra footsteps and buoy bell. After listening to the Creature sounds and deciding that in places they more resembled short wave radio interference than whale song I added the Morse Code.

Various authors with some real-time processing captured from Radio Aporee.
It is interesting to discover how inspiring the single nuances of concrete sounds can be, with rhythms, melodic/harmonic cells, textures and more.
This material certainly lends itself very well to further processing for the creation of something else.
Radio Aporee is an excellent source of inspiration.
