Goodnight [naviarhaiku137]

This week's Naviar haiku is by Michael Dylan Welch: 
"Meteor Shower / A gentle wave / wets our sandals" 

As usual, a modular synth piece, one take with no overdubs or post processing.  

This track uses two short sequences to generate all the notes, through various treatments such as adding them together, sampling the resulting sequence, highlighting notes with volume and timbral changes, and also through audio-rate amplitude modulation of one oscillator by another, with each oscillator fed a different sequence.  

I wanted it to evoke a starlight sky and water, but not too directly. I shied away from adding a high falling sound, instead just adding a little portamento to the bass.

hofuku sochi 報復措置 - one note of the shakuhachi (or two?) [Naviarhaiku#142]

went literal: one held shakuhachi note, resonating at C1 - C6

.............. .      .             .

The haiku of the week was written by Sôen Nakagawa, a key figure in the transmission of Zen Buddhism from Japan to the Western world.

The shakuhachi is a Japanese end-blown flute that was originally introduced from China into Japan in the 8th century. If you’re curious to hear how it sounds, check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7s-wXZWT5o

Seven days to make music in response to the assigned haiku poem. To participate, visit http://www.naviarrecords.com/about/naviar-haiku
