haiku #580: quiescence! / touching not the blossoms, / temple bell's voice

THE FORGOTTEN.

A self-propelled patch with the Tiptop/Buchla system.

Tiptop Texture

using 20 resonance tones I recorded on a toy piano and acoustic guitar, I've responded to this week's @naviar-haiku music challenge, of which you can find details about here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge/

quiescence!
touching not the blossoms,
temple bell's voice

Kawakami Fuhaku was a tea master and the founder of the Edosenke, a school of tea ceremony. He was also an accomplished haiku poet.

Temple Bell's Voice (Naviarhaiku 580  )

Here's my musical resonance to this week's haiku from @naviar-records. 
A two-note bell ringing above a flowery meadow.

Thank you NAVIAR RECORDS.

Quiescence (naviarhaiku580)

An electronic composition created using Pure Data with a little added echo and reverb.

Temple Bells (naviarhaiku580)

sadly, i cannot play piano. so, to create tracks like this, i play single notes to a click track at half speed and then double their bpm. this enables me to slowly create and layer sounds that i'm not able to play live...

this track is an amalgamation of three reworked melodies from the silent hill series: "the terminal show", "innocent moon", and "lost innocence". there are three pianos, an upright bass, a temple lyre, two female choirs, some live guitar, and a very quiet sample from SH2 ("help me"). i reduced the bpm from 136 to 124 in the middle section to make time gently suggest it's own terminus.

quiescence! [naviarhaiku580]

Naviar Haiku 580 as inspiration had me deciding to use a piece of our life space, the bell from the haiku, then a deconstruction of ethereal and other temple meditation type aspects to try and get us deeper into the haiku's many mind space avenues it offers. To leave you in a meditation type moment and then the piece evaporates around you leaving you sitting in the temple again hopefully. At any moment where it could turn into a melody quite easily I turn it away to a new path endlessly throughout. Imagine you can see a fish swimming up a stream, constantly changing it's path, like a leaf in the wind. Right now we are on an excursion to the temple mind set..... experience in your stillness-meditation personal moment for as long as the song lasts.

Could it be instead:
I [don't] think, therefore I am...
That Descartes was wrong?

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.
