In responding to this week's @naviar-records haiku challenge, I was exploring the live loops capabilties of Logic Pro. hHere I am taking nine tiny sample slices of improvising with @stellato-strings and slooooowing it right down to five.

Here's information about this week's prompt:

in dream world
was I laughing at a turtle?
winter seclusion

Among the four great masters of Japanese haiku, Kobayashi Issa was the most prolific: during his lifetime he wrote over 20,000 haiku, hundreds of tanka, and several haibun. If you want to find out more about this prolific author I suggest you check out this database of his haiku.

From the Haiku Guy website:

“Perhaps Issa’s dream is symbolic. Like a turtle, he is hunkered inside his shell (hut), waiting out the harsh winter weather. Or, William Nicholas offers a different interpretation, noting that the turtle is linked with good luck and longevity in Japan. In 1812 Issa was still a bachelor; he married two years later. At this point in his life he longed for the good luck of marriage and family life, hence the dream turtle’s teasing laughter?”

Krakenkraft's Mysterious Patchouli Triangle (undermulden Remix) (disquiet0594)

This was a fun one. As it was a cloudy day, I was moodier than usual. So I opted for some dark and melancholic sounds from the Lyra, Buchla Easel and a bit of brightness from the Wing Pinger. The Easel and Wing Pinger where fead into a decaying tape loop effect. For the recording I set up my phone in another room, a zoom recorder in the studio, my laptop (recording directly into Logic) and direct to my Tascam recorder. I then played back part of the result and recorded with a really crappy dictaphone from the previous century and then played that back into another channel on Logic through my laptops internal microphone. Aside from minimal panning, I did not add any effects and decided to keep the squeaks and rummaging noises as I went from place to place to turn on the various recorders.

Polymic (disquiet0598)

The Assignment: Record the same sound with multiple mics; mix the results.

Just playing around, having some fun.
I used four microphones to record a zither. Two were contact microphones, one of which was wedged onto the actual strings.
Apart from that: a small diaphragm condenser mic and a small speaker that I plugged into an input, making it function as a (rather lo fi) microphone. For part of the recording, I rested the speaker on the strings of the zither, making it bounce as I plucked the strings.

My attempt at the 599th disquiet junto assignment: Make a piece of music that combines self-contained minimalist parts (https://disquiet.com/0599/)
Also my first my first submission to any of this ever

disquiet0599

'Obscure Faces' is an experimental ambient project made with phrases & ideas I have created over the past few years. These tracks are centered around the use of hardware synthesis to evoke a strong sense of emotion.

This debut album is a reflection of a point in time and a direct insight of my own experiences and thoughts, let these tracks resonate with you too.

Enjoy,
Novakova.
