haiku #526: Turning around / I see my shadow / in the moonlight

30 May 2023

To get good recordings of birds you have to come close. On way of achieving this is to work with concealed microphones. It’s not easy to predict where the target bird/s will be, and I regularly fail in my attempts, but occasionally I succeed. I scouted a semi-open sandy area – a former tree seed orchard –  where I had encountered lekking Black Grouse last year, and hid a small stereo lavalier microphone overnight in the crown of an isolated small pine tree. One by one the Black Grouse males arrived in the late evening hours and immediately began displaying around the small pine tree.

LYRICS:

Do you think you're ready for what I've got on my mind?
You think that you've got me but instead I think you'll find...

All the noise I push away
Set the mark and struck the vein
And it's going to bring the pain
Cause I don't fucking need you

As night rolls over to day
Every word you have to say
Brings a smile onto my face
Cause I know I'm gonna hurt you

Never needed you anyway
You made the bed in which you lay
Now you're feeling dead and grey
Cause I didn't let you haunt me
Never needed you anyway
You made the bed in which you lay
Now you're feeling dead and grey
Cause I didn't let you haunt me

Every time you speak it's like a razor up my spine
It's not worth pretending everything is good and fine
Maybe you'll cut into me the way I do to you
Love or hate me for everything that I ever do

All the noise I push away
Set the mark and struck the vein
And it's going to bring the pain
Cause I don't fucking need you

As night rolls over to day
Every word you have to say
Brings a smile onto my face
Cause I know I'm gonna hurt you

Never needed you anyway
You made the bed in which you lay
Now you're feeling dead and grey
Cause I didn't let you haunt me

Too bad for me
Too bad for you

All the noise I push away
Set the mark and struck the vein
And it's going to bring the pain
Cause I don't fucking need you

As night rolls over to day
Every word you have to say
Brings a smile onto my face
Cause I know I'm gonna hurt you

Never needed you anyway
You made the bed in which you lay
Now you're feeling dead and grey
Cause I didn't let you haunt me
Never needed you anyway
You made the bed in which you lay
Now you're feeling dead and grey
Cause I didn't let you haunt me

A sequence of modulated sounds from a recorded improvisation.

Shadows In Moonlight (naviarhaiku526)

For this project I used a recording of a walk in the lovely Swiss mountain village of Ernen. You can hear lots of cow bells, children and a stroller. I cut several parts out of the recording that have wind shear, I then pitched them down and looped them, gradually focusing more on the windy parts. Also I added a Glockenspiel arpeggio. Drawing is based on a mural in Ernen.
