Generative Ambient patch in VCV Rack, voice fades performed with mouse on screen. Dark and crystal clear nights, cold air, polar lights and the vast quiescence of northern Sweden.

Okay, this'll be my last SoundCloud post for a while for real. lmao

I'll be honest, I can't keep away. It's like a gambling addiction.

Cut the Card, Slim!

Not that you can tell but this was inspired by:

cloud and mist alike
rendered unnoticeable –
bright moon tonight!

Naviar haiku challenge 593, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

The prompt felt quite similar to several recent ones so in an attempt to not do the same again I went down the experimental route and thus diverged from the obvious interpretation of the haiku, the fake carillon is definitely mot the bright moonlight that inspired it.

Everything created in VCV Rack, all experiments combined into a unified patch, multiple outputs, mapped physical controls. Starting with a rough plan I hit record and improvised. One take, what you hear is what you get. 

Other than mastering Chaim EQ, etc. the only additional effects added was a touch of Chery Audio's Stardust 201 Tape Delay, added to the sequence. the sequence was distinctly mono in the wider stereo field, I tried the usual widening suspects but found Stardust gave the most pleasing result.

It's winter in the Southern Hemisphere. lmao

Winter in Australia

The target haiku for this was:

Under the twilight sky
light shimmering on the pond -
swallows in autumn

Naviar haiku challenge 595, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

Having used a canary for the last challenge I didn't want to do birdsong again so concentrated on the shimmering twilight. Created in virtual modular using VCV Rack and a lot of delay/reverb plugins, all in place when I recorded a "Live" improvisation**. It has been said that "You can't have too many reverbs" ant I almost all of them somewhere on this track. if anyone is curious, leave a comment and I'll list them.

** I made some selective edits to the recoding to bring the track under the Soundcloud the minute promotion limit, no re-records or punch-ins.  

Under The Twilight Sky - (naviarhaiku - 595)

Although this track was made as a response to:

after the typhoon
I walk around alone -
sunshine everywhere

Naviar haiku challenge 598, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

It strayed a bit; In the very early stages while I was designing a sound for "Walking in sunshine", everything is assembled in virtual modular using VCV Rack, I played a simple phrase that suggested that it wanted to be a sequence, divergence begins. Probably because I had another project in mind  the original phrase and subsequent sequence development borrowed quite heavily from Steve Reich, I split off that version and pulled back a bit for this track although the roots are still there hence the minimalism tag. 

With the sequences complete I went back and designed an intro, not quite a typhoon but serves as as opening. And an outro; not really sunshine but while experimenting with modulated frequency modulation I unexpectedly found a sound I'd been hunting for a couple of weeks ago, it made a nice contrast so I kept it.

With all the elements in place I set up and did a one take multi-track live improvised mix, I also manipulated a couple of probability parameters, other modulations were built into the patch. 

A couple of eternal effects:
There is a final layer of reverb wash derived from the sunshine element made with SpaceBlender from Soundtoys and included in the performance via recorded parameter automation.      

I added a little bit of tape echo, Stardust 201 from Cherry Audio, to the sequences.
 
After all the usual blending a tweaking I added The Free Vinyl plugin from iZotope, felt like it would fit on the opening of the track.

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.

Psst...there is a Linktree containing my Bandcamp and other tings. Thanks. With love, Chelsea.
