haiku #495: bird polyphony – / treble, alto, tenor, bass, / Spring meadow concert


Naviar Records

naviarhaiku471 – Evening sky
Evening sky,
the silhouettes of farmers in their fields
deepen.

(translated by James Abrams)

A wandering poet and ascetic Zen priest, Santōka was a disciple of Ogiwara Seisensui, one of the first poets to discard the traditional use of the 5-7-5 structure in haiku.

Santōka’s poetry emphasizes the necessity of sabi (solitude) in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment and serenity.

Seven days to make music in response to the assigned haiku: to participate visit https://www.naviarrecords.com/about/naviar-haiku

Deadline: 18th January 2023

Bird Polyphony  (Naviarhaiku 495)

This track is based quite literally on the text from the haiku... I used a dawn chorus recording I made earlier this year during springtime and gave it 4 stems in the partition. The top is the normal recording, then after a little time the 2nd stem comes in, with the same birds song pitched down. Then follow stems 3 and 4 later on, each more pitched down to complete treble, alto, tenor and bass. 
What originally sounded like a crisp dawn chorus here in the woods, slowly sounds like a deep Jurassic jungle...

I love Derks use of bells on his tracks ( you have to check out his "trust the process" track for example) and I couldn't resist this 160bpm track he had released soundcloud.com/derk-bell/birdwatching

At 160bpm with a beautiful vibe, it was full of drum and bass promise. So here's my take on his track. 

Thanks @derk-bell for allowing me to practice creating dnb beats on this track :)!

Mastered by the generous, infamous and hugely talented @RDT (huge thanks)

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.
