many crickets in my head

a project created in december 2020 found from the archive 

Procedure:
A MIDI sequence was created with Elektron Octatrack,
which drives a piano track in Ableton.
The sequence was then broken down into four melodic lines.
The first line were transposed by +7 semintones
the second by +11 semitones
the third -13 semitones
the fourth line remains in the same pitch
then the harmony was extracted from each melodic line.
For each track, the ghost plays its part and sings as it pleases.
Next, for the sake of musicality, each ghost decides which notes to play and which to omit from its part.
During the performance the Time increase and the ensemble takes place
second take with the "singing ghost" track add

Little song for Yatsuka Ishihara haiku:

"Faring over the lake
drawing the light
an autumn butterfly"

Faring over the light (naviarhaiku612)

some times ago i was walking through my favorite woods in nighttime, beeing suddenly sourrounded by millions of small light points - it was absolutely magic to meet these glowworms. I never had an adventure like this again. Creating this tracjk i remembered this situation.
