"Vätterns kalla vatten glömde aldrig oss
Tända ljusen såg oss va tillsammans
Tystnaden som skingras av vårt skratt
I trots mot tidens likgiltighet

Och Åskan samlas innan smällen hörs
Från höjderna i norr
Blixtar kalla trädens blickar mot skyn
Medan regnet faller ner

Vätterns kalla vatten glömde aldrig oss "

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0636: Left (1 of 3)

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0636 discussion thread:

Created this generative ambient track using SDKC Helical on my little ALM 3U 52hp rig. No other modules were used except for a bit of reverb with FX Aid. Manually adjusted note spread, envelope, filter cutoff, etc. while recording. Mangle, chop up or do whatever you’d like for your creation. The main thing of course is to enjoy the process. Busy few weeks coming up so not sure whether I’ll be able to participate 100% in this series, we’ll see.
This is in C# Major.

Disquiet Junto Project 0636: Left (1 of 3)
The Assignment: Record the first third of a trio.

Please note: While this project is the start of a three-part sequence that will unfold over the course of three weeks, you can participate in any or all three of those parts.



Step 1: This week’s Junto project is the first in a sequence intended to encourage and reward collaboration. You will be recording something with the understanding that it will remain unfinished for the time being. Your part will be done, but more will happen. Read on.

Step 2: The plan is for you to record a short and original piece of music using any instrumentation of your choice. Conceive the piece as something that leaves room for something else — other instruments, other people — to join in. (Keep in mind that your piece would appear panned to the left in the finished recording, after three weeks.)

Step 3: Record a short piece of music, roughly two to three minutes in length, as described in Step 2.

Step 4: This is important: be sure to make your track downloadable because it may be used by someone else in the next Disquiet Junto project, and then after that.

Track notes:

One of the few things I haven't been doing much of this year is playing guitar, which is my 'primary' instrument. However, since late last year the one guitar (within reach) has been a Danelectro electric 12-string, stripped back of its thick strings to only six strings and put through through a variety of modal open tunings. A few years ago I listened to Lee Renaldo talk about this kind of retrofitting, which was called an Angel Hair guitar and was pioneered in the 1960s by country guitarists to create a light, jangly accompaniment, that in some ways is reminiscent of a pedal steel guitar's upper timbre.

I don't know how much open tunings figured at this time, but I could certainly appreciate Lee's attraction to all things unconventional and open-tuned. My current set up for this guitar is a D-A-C-E-A-E tuning, which gives it a kind of pentatonic, suspended tonality. Given the unconventional order of string gauges from bottom to top, the unison notes have an especially interesting appeal. From a fingerpicking approach, it all opens up the guitar in unexpected ways, since a regular picking technique can be inverted by the string gauge order and also feels quite different too.

So with this in mind, I recorded a repeated fingerpicking figure which exploits the unique qualities of this setup, such as the unisons and harmonic attributes of the tuning. The main guitar (soft left) is run through an EHX Holy Grail Reverb with a smidge of spring reverb, whilst an accompaniment (same guitar and tuning) is on the soft right, also run through the Holy Grail, but with the weird 'Flerb' reverb, which is a kind of modulated effect.

It's at 72bpm and runs just a shade over 2 minutes, starting a fade at the 1:46 mark.

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.
