Dream Ward (disquiet0568)

Jim Young's haiku inspired my improvisation, played on AAS Player: Cardinals (by Simon Stockhausen). Recorded in one take in Reaper, with added effects: Valhalla Shimmer and Frostbite2. Mastered with CloudBounce.

Mizuhara Shuoshi was a 20th century Japanese poet. Shuoshi rebelled against the principles of emotional detachment in haiku, which he thought limited his ability to emotionally express himself through poetry: he started a magazine called Staggerbush which focused on a more romantic, lyrical type of haiku.

Cutting Reeds

Cutting Reeds (naviarhaiku464 – from the mist)

NonDisquiet For Peaches (disquiet0569) by Daniel Burke.
Was reading a piece in a magazine at the end of a long trip up the Oregon River in 1997 about gratitude. The punchline was “the key to contentment is an attitude of gratitude”. Still working that 25 years later but grateful to have come across it, as it was needed and I have found it works. I continue to try to recognize and acknowledge as much as possible. This piece is dedicated to my wonderful wife Laurie who was delivered to my doorstep (literally) by some guardian angels (almost literally) just in the nick of time. Its a great story I won’t bore you with but suffice to say she is the best thing that has happened for me this lifetime and I express that as often as I can.
I started out thinking to make a piece as gentle and kind as she is, with a nod to the magical & beautiful music of the 1988 album Plux Quba by Nuno Canavarro, which we both love. Music that inspired Oval, Microstoria the rest of the A-Music crew in Germany.

The piece quickly moved towards the Eno/Budd/Frippery I am increasingly falling into... Started with the Roland Jupiter-6 lovely marimba like patch and developed a theme which was played around with and replicated/altered with another track of digital piano. Added in an Arturia Analog IV Synclavier patch for a few slight synth/stringish swells, finally added 2 guitar overdubs and a few very distant field recordings made in Mexico and Spain.

Shifting Sands (disquiet0570)

My remake synth version of the 1979 hit.

Since I was very young I realized
I never wanted to be human size
So I avoid the crowds and traffic jams
They just remind me of how small I am
Because of this longing in my heart
I'm going to start the growing art
I'm going to grow now and never stop
Think like a mountain, grow to the top
Tall, tall, tall
I want to be tall, tall, tall
As big as a wall, wall, wall
As big as a wall, wall, wall
And if I'm not tall, tall, tall
Then I will grow, grow, grow
Because I'm not tall
Tall, tall, tall, tall
Tall, tall, tall
Tall, tall, tall
I want to be tall, tall, tall
As big as a wall, wall, wall
As big as a wall, wall, wall
And if I'm not tall, tall, tall
Then I will grow, grow, grow
Because I'm not tall
Tall, tall, tall, tall
Tall, tall, tall
With concentration
My size increased
And now I'm fourteen stories high
(At least)
Empire State human
Just a bored kid
I'll go to Egypt to be
The pyramids
Tall, tall, tall (Brick by brick)
I want to be tall, tall, tall (Stone by stone)
As big as a wall, wall, wall (Growing 'til he's)
As big as a wall, wall, wall (Fully grown)
And if I'm not tall, tall, tall (Brick by brick)
Then I will grow, grow, grow (Stone by stone)
Because I'm not tall (Growing 'til he's)
Tall, tall, tall, tall (Fully grown)
Tall, tall, tall
Tall, tall, tall (Fetch more water)
I want to be tall, tall, tall (Fetch more sand)
As big as a wall, wall, wall (Biggest person)
As big as a wall, wall, wall (In the land)
And if I'm not tall, tall, tall (Fetch more water)
Then I will grow, grow, grow (Fetch more sand)
Because I'm not tall (Biggest person)
Tall, tall, tall, tall (In the land)
Tall, tall, tall
Brick by brick
Stone by stone
Growing 'til he's
Fully grown
Brick by brick
Stone by stone
Growing 'til he's
Fully grown
Tall, tall, tall (Fetch more water)
I want to be tall, tall, tall (Fetch more sand)
As big as a wall, wall, wall (Biggest person)
As big as a wall, wall, wall (In the land)
And if I'm not tall, tall, tall (Fetch more water)
Then I will grow, grow, grow (Fetch more sand)
Because I'm not tall (Biggest person)
Tall, tall, tall, tall (In the land)
Tall, tall, tall
Tall, tall, tall (Brick by brick)
I want to be tall, tall, tall (Stone by stone)
As big as a wall, wall, wall (Growing 'til he's)
As big as a wall, wall, wall (Fully grown)
And if I'm not tall, tall, tall (Brick by brick)
Then I will grow, grow, grow (Stone by stone)
Because I'm not tall (Growing 'til he's)
Tall, tall, tall, tall (Fully grown)
Tall, tall, tall
Fetch more water
Fetch more sand
Biggest person
In the land
Fetch more water
Fetch more sand
Biggest person
In the land
