Korg monotron with loop pedal and tape delay (in that order). Added some strings and brass afterwards.

Part of the Naviar Records Haiku Music Challenge: https://www.naviarrecords.com/naviarhaiku603-insect-tremolo/

insect tremolo-naviarhaiku603

Created as a response to:

insect tremolo
soberingly cools the heat
of farmland roads

Naviar haiku challenge 603, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

Created using Voltage Modular and a lot of crickets from freesound. 

The synth elements are quite minimal and all driven semi-randomly, there's a fair amount of subtle random modulation built into each element so the final track, while a live take was mostly a mix with only a few other controls.

All the cricket samples were CC0, I'll add attribution and links when I work out which ones I actually used. :)

Cooling the Heat - (naviarhaiku - 603)

oshio Kiyosaki (1922-1999) was a Japanese haiku poet and scholar of Japanese literature. He published a biography of Kyoshi Takahama in 1966 and co-authored Kyoshi Monogatari, another study on the renowned haiku poet, in 1979.

The Milky Way (amanogawa, or "Heavenly River" in Japanese) is a kigo for Autumn, mainly because that's when the galaxy is most visible in Japan.

Inspired by:

slightly faint
yet clear
the milky way

Naviar haiku challenge 606, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

Everything was generated using Voltage Modular and a lot of effects. There are two randomly generated sequenced elements where the note information was converted to MIDI and sent from Voltage to a couple of instances of Dreamsynth then to further effects.

Faint But Clear - (Naviarhaiku - 606)

Silence was too empty, so I filled it with colors you can’t see.
