Lovely, how slow these sonic sentences appear, vanish and bloom.

haiku #557: I write, erase, rewrite / erase again, and then / a poppy blooms.

MOOD VII

Disquiet Junto Project 0650: Doppler, Interrupted
The Assignment: Record a piece of music in which a passing siren blossoms into something else entirely

The siren I used as raw material is an excerpt from my work with Sound Obsessed x Sónar+D: Temporal Tide

The collection of A/V pieces is currently exhibited at Sonar Festival in Barcelona. It's a collective work I enjoyed being part of https://www.soundobsessed.com/temporaltide

For my part of the exhibition piece "Exploring global temperatures since  1750" I processed Earth Surface Temperature Data for several cities as control voltage in VCV Rack. Noah Pred wrote a wonderful article about his sonification tool for  Ableton and how people approached the sonification task for Temporal Tide: https://manifest.audio/temporal-tide

Low Tide is inspired from that work. I heavily processed the siren and the first bleeps from the incoming
data in audacity (simulating a doppler effect, of sorts). I processed that sound in VCV Rack and added a synth from my Ksoloti Gills (Tiar SpaceViolin).

Low Tide (disquiet0650)

Music can make you feel better, calm you down, lighten the situation or help you relax. So wouldn't it be great if you could call an orchestra in an emergency?

This track follows the inspiration of the Disquiet Junto 0650 project and gives you the opportunity to listen to an orchestral ambulance passing by.

Veils And Souls

I write, erase, rewrite
erase again, and then
a poppy blooms.

This is the death poem of Tachibana Hokushi, sometimes wrongly attributed to the Japanese painter Katsushika Hokusai.

Tachibana Hokushi, whose real name was Tachibana Genjiro, was born in Kanazawa in 1665. Hokushi was one of Basho’s most famous students at the time, and he even accompanied the great master during part of his famous journey through the narrow roads of the North, from Kanazawa to Matsuoka.

#333 All at sea

If witches did manage to get in the house, sleeping with a Bible, a silver dollar, or a knife beneath your pillow had all been recommended as preventatives. Turning your socks inside out before going to bed was also thought to keep away witches. Mustard seed scattered around the bed was equally effective.

I love listening to & creating ambient, dark ambient, avant-garde & experimental electronica (and the occasional beatscape). I have no professional aspirations  - I just really like creating music / manipulating sounds. It's my way of relaxing after a hard day at the office. All my tracks are produced using monitoring headphones (Audix A140) so I recommend that you listen to my music through headphones. My DAW of choice is FL Studio. I also use Reason every now & then. 


To the artists I follow; I do my best to try to listen to as many of your tracks as possible each night (I listen to each track all the way through - you went through the effort to create a track so you deserve to have it heard in full). If I miss a recent upload of yours, please forgive me...

Thank you for taking the time to visit my little corner of the soundcloud.

Naviar is a music community and label. Through regular publications, open projects and events, we explore the connection between experimental music and traditional Japanese poetry.
