haiku #501: lull in the rain… / drifting into the bedroom / a butterfly!

Early morning,
One star remaining,
It’s a good day too.

A wandering poet and ascetic Zen priest, Santōka was a disciple of Ogiwara Seisensui, one of the first poets to discard the traditional use of the 5-7-5 structure in haiku.

Santōka’s poetry emphasizes the necessity of sabi (solitude) in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment and serenity.

Disquiet Junto Project 0604: Heaven’s Gate 

I used a video on YT as a live score. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNEjw1fMk-8&t=2550s
28:42
35:24

I divided the screen into 5 parts.
Each part is linked to an instrument channel.
Every time a cloud enters or leaves one of the 5 areas it activates a trigger/gate.

1)	Guzheng/Percussion kit
2)	Harp Harmonic - wood
3)	Prepared Kalimba
4) 	Percussion kit 2
5)	Contrabass col legno

As sound binder I used a loop generated by Reaktor (TG-8H Live by Rick Scott)

The track is a very mechanical walk, created by generative sequencers. The sounds, as in recent times, are percussive / acoustic.
Ergo very short sound envelope in order not to saturate ears and acoustic field.

Thank you for your time.

Journey OF a Drifting Butterfly(NaviarHaiku 501)

Drift Like a Butterfly (naviarhaiku501)

I had started out with the assignment yesterday… today, I re-read the instructions and found that I might have been on a wrong track. Is it 0-40-60-0 of overall volume? Or the ratio of sound to silence in the overall piece? 

Not being totally sure about this, I started to carve out bits and pieces from the track. I removed most of the underlying drone, dimmed it down to 40 percent maximum, cut off reverb tails, removed some notes, trying to get the „guitar“ part in front.

Disquiet Junto Project 0607: Silence Wave 

The Assignment: From close to zero and back again, alter the relative amount of sound to silence in a piece of music.

There’s just one step to this project:

Compose a piece of music in which the relative amount of sound to silence starts at zero (that is, no sound), rises to approximately 40 percent (that is, 60 percent silent) and returns to zero again. Keep the pace fairly steady.

Background: This project builds on the two previous ones. You needn’t have done them; do give them some consideration. In the first of the two, each participant composed a piece of music with as much silence as notes. In the second, each composed a piece of music with three times as much silence as sound. Jason Richardson proposed the first project in what has since become a sequence. As that project unfolded, Klaus-Dieter Hilf (aka RabMusicLab) commented that maybe the instruction should have read “sound” in place of “notes.” Since the first project went well, a subsequent project increased the amount of silence, and implemented Hilf’s proposal. This project takes it a step further still.

Carved Out [disquiet0607]

Disquiet Junto Project 0622: Know the Shadow
The Assignment: How do you depict a shadow in sound?

I started playing around in the DAW and somehow ended up with old step samples. The simplest idea of musical shadows are certainly delay and reverb, and initially I built a (virtual) modular thing behind the steps that changes the shape of the steps but still lets us think of the original, just as shadows only hint at what cast them.

The second idea was the drums, and what could be the shadow of a drum kit? I used a looping noise sample (coming in very late, and not too loud) and carved out a kind of kick drum with negative noise using filters, so the absence of sound is the shadow here. I'll tell you why it has to be like this at some point far, far away … 

The third idea was to use two different types of motifs in one scale: An FM synthesizer using only the black keys of a blues scale (the real thing), and a classic basic saw synthesizer using only white keys (the shadow). 

Em ... and in general: first comes the real and then you hear the shadows, and in the end there are only shadows, because the word also stands for a kind of vague memory that continues to have an effect even after the real has disappeared. And remember, samples are shadows of real sounds …

The result is undoubtedly overly intellectual and musically not a gem. But it wouldn't be experimental music if the experiment couldn't - as here - go badly wrong. That's why I kept it under 3 minutes ...
