a chilly reminder that our pasts include mixtures of memories (clear or distorted) and moods (comforting or disconcerting)

Freezing Point (NAVIARHAIKU588)

NAVIARHAIKU589_RISING SUN

an immersive sound environment created in voltage modular
(Thanks to the SpaceDog Kennel for a creative milieu to play in)

Streaming In The Rain_NAVIARHAIKU590

The rain sounds were created on the miRack app on my iPhone - portable eurorack for creating on the go.  The sequence was created in Voltage Modular

slow and steady _NaviarHaiku591

the forest is listening_NAVIARHAIKU592

looking around, then looking up, moonstruck

Bright and shiny_NAVIARHAIKU593

caged bird's eye view...heavy use of a Maurice Gallagher West Coast style Buchla patch in Voltage Modular...influenced in tone by Tobias Reber's "Introduction to Non-Violence 1 & 2."..facilitated by the pack within the SpaceDog's kennel

NAVIARHAIKU594_CAGED BIRD

spring dream...
not becoming unhinged
is what's unbearable

what is unbearable - NaviarHaiku596

orchids by night-
within their fragrance looms
their blossoms' white!

orchids_NAVIARHAIKU597

after the typhoon
I walk around alone-
sunshine everywhere

sunshine everywhere (NaviarHaiku598)

rain rituals
if the gods are here now
to see the paddies

the gift of rain_NAVIARHAIKU599

Scent of plum
In a flash of rising sun!
The mountain path

(it has been suggested that F#/F#minor is the key of purple...
hence the key of my composition...)

Happy Birthday Savannah

slightly faint
yet clear
the milky way

DMT West Coast Suzanne Ciani patch with very liberal use of Waverley Instruments Quadelay

As always, were it not for the SpaceDog's Kennel, this dog would still be on the porch with nary a bark

slightly faint NaviarHaiku 606

Winter waterfall
a rock untouched
by sunrise or sunset

very rudimentary ratcheting within a sequence - VM 900 modules within Voltage Modular passing through the Waverley Instruments Quadelay

Gratitude as always to SpaceDog's kennel for exploring, encouragement, and knowledge

winter waterfall NaviarHaiku607

One of Rolf Kasten's Playertron Stochastic patches for Voltage Modular( included with his Signal Path magazine) provided a firm foundation on which I was able to build the piece. I manipulated probabilities, bpm, pitch, as well as adding reverb using Waverley's Quadelay. I then applied some finishing touches in Reaper.
Another product of what I've learned about bringing creations to fruition in the SpaceDog's Kennel

The haiku:

revealing in the dark
the sadness of things
a fisherman's torch

pseudo whale-song and mellotron combining to create an air at least of melancholy, at best of sadness

another howl from the SpaceDog's kennel
