Naviar haiku challenge 608, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

I had an idea of the structure and development of this track quite quickly. Young grass tempted to deviate by sequences entering from either side, temptation resisted, unbent growth represented by a final melody. Decided to use VCV Rack for this one. As I was going to be assembling the elements in a live mix I knew I wouldn't be able to play the final melody and manipulate everything else, hence VCV I was able to assemble the melody as multiple sequenced blocks that are played randomly, leaving my hands free for other things.  There is a lot of subtle modulation in each of the elements some of which had to automated; even using PatchMaster from MindMeld to set up performance macros where one knob controls multiple things I quickly ran out of physical controls; so like the melody I made a few practical compromises in what I manipulated live.  

I set everything up to record live to multiple tracks giving me the freedom to tweak the mix during the mastering stage. Other than EQ, saturation and gentle compression on both individual tracks and the master; the only extra effect I added is a very light touch of K7D - Tape Delay from imaginando on both sequences, the subtle ping-pong echoes integrated them intp the whole.   

Young Grass - (naviarhaiku - 608)

Used the same modular system for yesterday which is morphagene, qpas, and mimeophon + a behringer crave. I think a lot of people look down on the crave (horrible name), but it's wonderful. Oddly the crave sits better on the desk than a Moog mother 32. Like a cascade down from my skiff case. So anyway, I went with the basic patch that the crave comes with backed by a reel which started as an acoustic guitar. Same reel from yesterday just went a little deeper smudge-wise.

Dropped headfirst into the jungle — no warning, no path back. 'The Cut' is the moment the vines snap closed around you. Razor-sharp leaves slice the silence, breakbeats slash at your sense of balance. It’s a fight for control in a place that doesn’t follow rules. Every bar hits fast, angular, alive.

The Cut

Improvisation on my modular synth :) sounds like a slug crossing lands in search for the rave.

Where do slugs rave?

I'm primarily a visual artist both 2D and 3D, for the last decade I've operated almost exclusively in the digital 3D realm.   since the late 80s I've made periodic forays into the sonic world, MIDI sequencing, minimalism, musique concrète, found sounds  and improvisation. I am seldom happy with anything and seldom consider a piece finished.

Austin, TX-based electronica artist.
Minimal, chill, downtempo tech-house with 80's feel. Plus some other stuff. 
I play live! DM for details.

Hi, I'm rabbitsquirrel, and I make drone as a vehicle for song titles.

Always open for collaborations/remixes.
