"Half-asleep eyes
open to a dreamlike world
of blossoms"

half-asleep eyes open to a dreamlike world of blossoms

by: Natsume Seibi

Natsume Seibi (1749-1816) was the son of a wealthy Edo rice broker and was acquainted with a number of other famous poets, including Oshima Ryota and Kobayashi Issa. In addition to his poetry, Seibi left behind a number of fine examples of haikai prose.

Blossoms (naviarhaiku611)

For me, fog conjures up periods of quiet, interrupted by mysterious creaks, drones and transient melodies that appear and the drift away. I used the Instruo Pocket Scion (using my skin and not plants) to trigger midi instruments in Logic. At the forefront is the piano, which I imagined myself plunking away on as the fog obscured the keyboard and my hands. Hence it comes across as hesitant and unsure.

(dispersed signal) versions fragment the original material through granular time-warping, scattering its rhythmic core into drifting pulses and textured echoes. Like a fading transmission from deep space, these pieces unravel slowly, leaving behind only traces of their origin.

I made a single patch with multiple outputs in virtual modular using VCV Rack, splitting the audio this way allowed me to apply external effects selectively. There's also a layer of singing bowls played live while manipulating and recording the VCV elements, using the Healing 2 Lite virtual instrument from Quiet Music.
