here and there (Naviarhaiku 582)

Prompted by and in response to:

out of the blue
of early morning light:
a paulownia leaf

Naviar haiku challenge 583, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge/

Not as I envisaged at the outset owing to a lucky experiment and a willingness to got with the flow. All the base sounds are generated in virtual modular using VCV Rack with split outputs allowing multitrack recording. I had planned on using the Deelay plugin from Sixth Sample and while I was tweaking the settings put it into chaos mode as an experiment, not what I wanted but more suitable for this track, saved some VCV patching.  With the other elements in place I set up physical controls and did a test run to get an idea of what to patch next. After what would have been the opening ran to over six minutes I decided that with a couple of tweaks I had enough for a take, more minimal and slower evolving than my original idea but probably suits the haiku better. I used a touch of Frostbite 2 from Audio Thing to add some texture to the opening.

i like how this came out, and plan to integrate it into my slowly expanding project at https://museumofhistoricalmaterials.bandcamp.com

a frantic 5/4 reworking of a 4/4 track i've been working on this week. mellotron via m-tron pro iv. blackhole immersive, ds tantra 2 and imagiro autochroma pad things out in the return channels. at 30s, an ableton percussion rack (EFX Small Cymbals) starts playing out a morse code message: "kaufmann, you scumbag".

Ōshima Ryōta was a Japanese poet of the Edo period. Some sources say he was a disciple of Yosa Buson, while others say his master was Hattori Ransetsu. He's mostly remembered for his essay “Bashō ku kai” 芭蕉句解 ('Study of Bashō's haiku') published in 1759, a magnum opus of his studies and literary theories on Matsuo Bashō's work.

a warm hazy afternoon
the forest to hear

Meat EP is a stripped-down collection of contrasts

an ambient piece drift around the edge, unsolved

a sparse transmission

the title track leans into electro, sharp, minimalistic

"Gate Keeper" reappears as a dub echo

Somewhere between drone, minimalism, experimental, post-rock and sometimes field recordings. Without computer editing.
