Takahama Kyoshi was a Japanese poet active during the Shōwa period of Japan. He was the editor of the haiku magazine Hototogisu (previously edited by Shiki), where he promoted a more traditional style of haiku, as opposed to other popular schools which did not follow the pattern of seventeen syllables at that time.

Kyoshi also highlighted the symbolic function of the kigo (the seasonal reference), even though the more modern trends were already tending towards seasonless haiku.

**Disquiet Junto Project 0675: Arc of the Drone**  
The Assignment: Record a drone that goes from simple to complex to simple.

Step 1: You may, yourself, be experienced recording drone music, or you may never have recorded any. You may not even be sure what drone music is, in which case read up a bit. Not matter your experience and familiarity, please give some thought as to what constitutes drone music.

Step 2: Now think about what makes a drone simple and what makes a drone complex.

Step 3: Now record a piece of drone music that begins simple, gets complex, and then gets simple again. And note: The simple drone at the end needn’t necessarily be the same sort of drone with which the piece opens.

Disquiet_Junto_0675] Short Dazzle

A slow drone with a hint of melody coming through, using only the Terra. I layered two versions of this in Logic, subjecting each of the tracks to different effects and panning - mainly reverb based effects and Arturia's Motion. There is a bit of noise in the mix. At first I struggled to isolate it but then grew to like how it added a bit of grit and also triggered interesting pops and sparkles in the Zoia patch I was using in the initial mix. So, I'm going to consider it an aesthetic choice for now.

This week's Disquiet Junto challenged us to make a drone that is somehow melodic. My response is a drone haunted by a distant, distorted melody, which it follows in steps that are 21 seconds apart. 

All of the sounds on this track, including the percussion, were created on a vintage Korg M3R synthesizer and recorded live. The tracks were post-processed in Logic, mainly applying stereo delay for movement and the ChromaGlow plugin for color. 

I was probably more intentional about reverb in this track than I usually am, especially for a drone piece. My early mixes were drowning in reverb, so I dialed all the sends on all the tracks back to -∞ and brought the wet signal back in minimally and track-by-track. The only exception was the repeating high melodic figure, which I wanted to sound unnaturally distant.

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0676: Sub Melody. The assignment: Bury a slow melody deep inside a drone.

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0676 discussion thread on Lines:

I really enjoyed these drone projects. Wanted to create a minimal atmospheric vibe with this one. Tried to keep the melody as low key and simple as possible. 

Created in Ableton Live using Slate + Ash Choreographs, along with some samples. Valhalla Delay, Valhalla Supermassive and Output Portal were the effects used. Photo taken in San Francisco in 2008, back when I used to live in the SF Bay Area.

Resonant Spaces [disquiet0676]

My contribution to Junto Project 0683 - https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0683-space-shot/70693

The first half of the track I wanted to capture the spaciousness and mystery of a cavernous space station – brutalist in design, surrounded by mist. The second half I wanted to take a deep dive into the inner workings of the station, where we hear the isolated clicks of machines and robots discussing the work being done.
