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

slightly faint
yet clear
the milky way

Naviar haiku challenge 606, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

Everything was generated using Voltage Modular and a lot of effects. There are two randomly generated sequenced elements where the note information was converted to MIDI and sent from Voltage to a couple of instances of Dreamsynth then to further effects.

Faint But Clear - (Naviarhaiku - 606)

Made for the haiku challenge 607 of Naviar records.

by: Kaga no Chiyo

Kaga no Chiyo-jo (1703–1775) was a haiku poet discovered by Kagami Shiko at a very young age. She became a Buddhist nun at 52 and wrote around 1,900 haiku in her lifetime. A highlight of her poetry career was presenting haiku to a Korean delegation in 1763, one of the first cultural exchanges of this kind.

This time the tree came out after playing.

I hope you enjoy this new track. Been a while since I've posted something new. Began working on this in late July; finished twenty minutes ago. Thanks to Anatoliy Drobakha for playing the vargan (jaw harp) and to Mike Brosco for production assistance. I have no idea what "genre" this music is. Peaceful? Happy? Hypnotic? You tell me! 

Party of One

A second sax take from this tracks served to create this new one:

dropped glass -
its ring
outlasts the fall

A duo jam (electric bass and tenor saxophone) I've been tweaking for a couple of months, ading textures and more subtle rhythmic elements.

It Outlasts the Fall (feat. miguel yanover) naviarhaiku610

a project created in december 2020 found from the archive 

Procedure:
A MIDI sequence was created with Elektron Octatrack,
which drives a piano track in Ableton.
The sequence was then broken down into four melodic lines.
The first line were transposed by +7 semintones
the second by +11 semitones
the third -13 semitones
the fourth line remains in the same pitch
then the harmony was extracted from each melodic line.
For each track, the ghost plays its part and sings as it pleases.
Next, for the sake of musicality, each ghost decides which notes to play and which to omit from its part.
During the performance the Time increase and the ensemble takes place
second take with the "singing ghost" track add
