My new contribution to the current Naviar Haiku project.

HAIKU MUSIC CHALLENGE

Naviarhaiku 531

The first thunder
Is likely to shake
The tiered doll stand.

Like Santoka and Seisensui, Kawahigashi Hekigoto (1873-1937) was an important advocate of the free verse haiku.
Besides being a writer and critic of haiku, Hekigoto was a literary scholar, noh dancer, art critic, calligrapher, social commentator, and mountain climber.

The First Thunder

The First Thunder (naviarhaiku531)

This track is an asynchronous collaboration with @torstengoerke in the Disquiet Junto Project (details see below): Torsten Goerke published the wonderful guitar track https://soundcloud.com/torstengoerke/jolanaparticleverb-disquiet0636, and now I improvised on the Hohner Organetta to his beautiful chords.

Transmission Feat Samplair (disquiet0637)

This is my second submission. I added some chords (G, G6, G7) atop @VonnaWolf's cowbell rhythm jam. Middle section is clear for someone else to add something. Tempo is 124.5 bpm but it drifts a little during the second half.

For Disquiet Junto 0637: The Assignment: Record the second third of an eventual trio.
I added to Sinny Sound's "Lucky Link": https://soundcloud.com/sinnysounds2/lucky-link-disquiet0636?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0636
I wanted to add some light harmony to underscore the melody. Converted the melody to midi harmony in Ableton. Made some light adjustments to midi notes here and there. Used the Schwarzonator 2.0 device to help add some additional chord notes. Chose some light key sounds from Kontakt 40's keys and Playbox. Also light bass from Lode, and melodic tabla. Tapped in the shaker parts. Panned hard right with orginal panned left. 

Enjoyed listening Sinny Sound's lovely melody while making this. I'll be humming it all week!

It was fun listening to everyone's "Left" tracks this week, I'm always in awe by this community's talent and creativity!
