haiku #577: Curve of time -/  a thought takes flight, / scent of a rose.

Curve of time -
a thought takes flight,
scent of a rose.

Vincenzo, aka El Wud, is an electronic musician from Naples, Italy.

A regular participant in our haiku music challenge, El Wud uses sound overlaps, causal collisions and cosmic echoes to create evocative soundscapes.

I translated Vincenzo's haiku from Italian, and made some minor variations. I hope you'll find it inspiring.

I read the haiku and imagined the smell of a rose and all the interesting places our memories can go to.  All sounds are native devices in Ableton Live, using my own presets/racks, all being played by multiple instances of a sequencer I put together in Max For Live with the help of Claude.ai. 

This original version of "No Drip" was submitted as part of Naviar Haiku 577, Curve Of Time.

thinking of us ( Naviarhaiku 600 )

A track produced for the 600th Naviar Records Haiku Challenge; 7 days in which to write and record a piece in response to the haiku posted. The haiku, 'thinking of us, the sound of wind, among the pines' made me think of the 'us' as several voices carried in the wind through the forest, so I used solely voice samples for the track.

Disquiet Junto Project 0705: Book Start
The Assignment: Let the beginning of a book help you begin a new piece of music. 

The chosen text is a poem by Giuseppe Ungaretti (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giuseppe_Ungaretti),
written in July 1918 in the trenches during the First World War.

Si sta come 
d'autunno 
sugli alberi 
le foglie 

https://www.sololibri.net/Soldati-poesia-Ungaretti-si-sta-come-d-autunno-sugli-alberi.html


I obtained a sequence of 7 notes (AFDGBCE – 9 5 1 7 e 0 4), which I distributed across various sequencers and instruments. In particular, I used several old patches from SampleTank 2/3.
