Naviar Haiku - 012

Beat up on my guitar with a wet octave-up delay applied running through my solid-state guitar amp with bad capacitors (hence the noise) as a preamp.

Disquiet Junto Project 0117: Naviar Junto Haiku

This week’s project involves members of the Disquiet Junto participating in another music-making community: the Naviar Haiku Project. Already members of the Junto have joined in the Naviar, and this is an opportunity to add to those ranks. Each week participants in the Naviar Haiku Project compose original pieces of music in response to a shared, provided haiku. The following are the steps for this week.

Step 1: This is the haiku for the 12th Naviar Haiku project entry:

“They encounter
A cathedral of ice
At the end of the world”

Step 2: Compose an original piece of music in response.

Step 3: Upload the file to the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud and describe your approach and process in the text field associated with the track.

Step 4: Also consider uploading the file to the Naviar Laboratory group on SoundCloud.

Step 5: Listen to other members’ tracks as they appear in the Disquiet Junto feed on SoundCloud, and comment on them when you have the time.

Additional Background: (1) At the end of every month a selection of tracks will be available on Naviar’s Bandcamp page as a pay-what-you-want album. (2) The haiku by Nite Rote. (3) The Naviar deadline is Wednesday, April 2, but this Junto project is to be completed by March 31. (4) The haiku was inspired by Werner Herzog’s documentary Encounters at the End of the World.

obsidian [naviarhaiku012 – they encounter / disquiet0117-naviarjunto]

I shouldn't but I had to….I'm writing a paper to conclude my studies at DIEM, Denmark for a degree in Electronic Music Composition - but this assignment sounded to good  when it landed in my inbox this morning...
I set out, as I had a pretty clear idea of what I wanted the track to sound like, and it wouldn't take long (did someone say naive?). I also wanted to try out my new interface for transferring digital audio from my iPad to my DAW - I ended up not using an sounds from the iPad, but anyhow I had fun trying and the excuse for working on this piece sounded good in my ears….What I did do, was using a couple of recordings of ice and snow, and a recording of a piano at a local thrift shop…and myself whispering the haiku. The ice and snow recordings where eq'ed a bit the piano went through Ambient a couple of times and once through a looper/delay in Reaktor. The final result is pretty close to what I thought of, before I started - as always things changed once I started experimenting with the material…but thats okay.

High coo [disquiet0117-naviarjunto] [Naviarhaiku012 – They encounter]

**Production Notes**

"Cathedral of ice?" Well, this had to be a drone. 

The base is an older piece, heavily filtered and treated. Added some Operator Sine bass here and there. The Pianos are from Boscomac (great free Reaktor stuff over there!) and the synth is Ye Good Ol’ Animoog on the iPhone - weeeee! Finally there were some last touches woth my new toy, a shortwave radio. 

Composing, arranging and mixing took 3 hours. Thanks for listening!

Creek [disquiet0117-naviarjunto]

“They encounter
A cathedral of ice
At the end of the world”
What would one find in such a cathedral? Perhaps the catafalque of the Sayoshant, encased in ice for one thousand years.  
Using an iPad, Audiobus, with Magellan as a filter, this started with a drone from Droner and improvisation using Noisemusick, in an attempt to paint such a scene in sound.

Boards Of Canada Peacock Tail Cover

Boards Of Canada Kaini Industries Cover

It’s a Monday and you’re sitting in your office typing away, and there’s plenty to listen to, but why not whip up a quick little reworking of a loop from the FM3 Chan Fang Buddha Machine that someone recently sent to you as a gift? (Audio processed in VCV Rack. Buddha Machine audio inputted into a MacBook via an Edirol UA-25EX audio interface.) And a side note: SoundCloud shows this track as having been "mastered," but that's not the case. I did experiment with the built-in SoundCloud mastering option, applying the "Aurora" version, but it ended up too shrill for my ears. The ringing in particular sounded like a fire alarm was going off the whole time, so I replaced it with the original.

Little Red Box

This took 10 hours to record in April 2010. The April 2012 remix also took 10 hours. Again, the original session was difficult, and I was not entirely happy with the way the track panned out. During the remix, I took the opportunity to change many parts of the track, giving it a slightly different, heavier feel. I again encountered problems with the Wave 2.V software being unable to load its saved settings, which gave me, and a pencil and paper, the opportunity to do a little sound design. Added new bass 20120411

20150526 Uploaded 2015 remix with some synth patch mods, a couple of new chords, new reverbs, EQ, panning, leveling, Satin and my latest mastering chain. This will go onto the second album, due for release later in 2015.
