quiescence!
touching not the blossoms,
temple bell's voice

Touching Not  - 時鐘 [naviarhaiku580]

An electronic composition, sounds created in Pure Data with a little additional reverb, etc.

The “catch your breath” project got me thinking. All living things on this planet breathe, at least in one form or another, with some of us breathing in what others breathe out and vice versa. In that regard breathing is a kind of planetary feedback loop, constantly inhaling and exhaling. So, that inspired the first step in setting up my sonic palette: patching my “Barp 2500” to establish a slow oscillation. The output was fed into a tape looper effect on the Zoia which was then sent into the Cosmos, which were routed via a patch pay so that they fed back into each other. The combined audio was sent to my mixer, where additional feedback was added via the aux sends. After importing this into Logic, motion effects were used to create various forms of spatial movement. The final touch involved manually adding fade in and outs which became further and further apart and, eventually falling into silence when the breathing finally stops.

Solo work. Electric guitar, baritone guitar, drums. All recorded at different sessions then layered together afterwards. On baritone guitar I was exploring with snare resonance. I put a small snare on top of the guitar cabinet.

Lingering in a monastery of his own, heavy with history—perhaps light with what’s to come. Molt traces a crucial transformation.

Enjoy!
