haiku #599: rain rituals - / if the gods are here now / to see the paddies

My good friend https://soundcloud.com/delirium-funk gave me his Bastl Kastle to play with ... and this rainy, ricey ritual little number slowly emerged from that crazy little box! Enjoy! 😁😜

Takarai Kikaku was one of the most accomplished disciples of Matsuo Bashō, famous also for writing a manuscript describing his master’s final days, and the immediate aftermath of his death.

I chose 2 recent unfinished tracks, that I had considered layering prior to the disquiet prompt… so I did just that, I set up 2 channels one for each track, one slowed by 10% to roughly match the longer track, I simply adjusted levels for each and had a shared bus channel with additional eq and reverb(s), this in turn joins the originals in the master, which also has some lofi fx and more(!) reverb… recorded the output.  Thanks for listening.

In honour of our 3rd page being almost full, we thought it'd be nice to post "Where the Circuits Meet the Spell" and subsequent remixes as a nice closing piece for this 3rd page.
Our fourth page is starting up here: @archmageband4

Made for our open collab "Where the Circuits Meet the Spell" combining the fun and cool jam contributions of both John Musichead and noxpox - but arranged by us to form one complete  song.

Thank you so much for this awesome cyberpunk-mood spin on our track, John, and for weaving that amazing arcane synth soundscape, noxpox - it's been so much fun to compose with you two!
