BACKWARDS SWIMMING FISH

The haiku that inspired this:

dropped glass -
its ring
outlasts the fall

Naviar haiku challenge 610, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge 

Was a clear indication that every sound would be in some way derived from or be a simulation of glass. While the final piece is the result of a one off live mix performance there was a lot of assembling of elements and preparation including routing audio to numerous effects.

Not possessing any glasses that properly ring I experimented with other glass objects and found I got acceptable results from several lamp shades, these were recorded and split into single hie samples. I used a simple patch in VCV Rack to play these in a semi random sequence; the result of which is passed through Moon Echo, Audio Thing. It is also routed to GRFX from Imaginando and separately to a combination of SpaceBlender, Soundtoys and ShimmerVerb, Eventide. Together these are used to build the opening of the track.

The central drone section had to be prepared in advance because of audio driver limitations.  I recorded the output of two random but overlapping sequences again generated using VCV Rack, then used that audio to excite and resonate a simulated glass disc with holes in it using Substrata from Giorgio Sancristoforo.

The closing section features two again semi random sequences generated with Voltage Modular and passed as MIDI information to two separate instances of Clear Glass from QuietMusic. The faster sequence also has a small amount of Stardust 201 Tape Echo, Cherry Audio, added towards the end.
