Auditory impressions from the Berlin Subway merge with harsh drones, glitchy beats, weird sounds and melancholic melodies to invite you on a psychedelic journey beneath the surface of the city.

NAVIARHAIKU536 – TALL, WIDE-ARCHING TREES
April 10, 2024
Tall, wide-arching trees
Assume a cathedral shape
Until darkness falls
by: John Hinks

Sit tibi terra levis.

Un ipotetico viaggio tra stanze, idee e ricordi. La memoria è lo strumento per rispettare e trattenere vite presenti e passate.


Sit tibi terra levis.

A hypothetical journey through rooms, ideas and memories. Memory is the tool to respect and retain present and past lives.

Foot Prints of a Big creature from Japan

The cormorant in the forest;
The cherry blossoms
Along the evening path.

Tan Taigi was a haiku poet of the Edo period. He was a wanderer for most of his life and admired by Yosa Buson for his ability to transcend his eclectic and unconventional lifestyle with sublime poetry.

Quiet Spiral (disquiet0645)

How do you interpret the literal translation of karaoke - empty orchestra? 

Well I had a go; started with opening the BBC orchestra Plug in - spitfire audio - violins.  Made something very simple and looped it.
I had this playing through my main stereo which my decks are plugged into.. I let this playing on a loop and went down the hall in my house and used my digital tascam recorder to record from the far end of the house. I left this recording. 
I went back to the decks and selected an old classical record - Ketelbey Orchestral Concert - Bells Across the Meadow. I played this slowed down as low as my turntable can go, with no bass and treble to full... slowly faded this in. Near the end I pulled the 'earth' cable out the back of the mixer so it goes a bit crackly and caused one of the speakers to cut out. Perfect! 

That was more or less it. I opened this recording back up in Ableton and edited for a bit longer, reversing bits and adding extra effects.

Disquiet Junto Project 0646: Empty Orchestra
The Assignment: Interpret the literal translation of “karaoke.”

Step 1: You may or may not be familiar with the literal meaning of the word “karaoke.” The first two syllables are the Japanese word for “empty.” The final two syllables are an abbreviation of the Japanese word for “orchestra.” Consider how the term “empty orchestra” connects with the idea of karaoke.

Step 2: Think about the term “empty orchestra” on its own, apart from its association with karaoke. Come up with a new meaning for it. What kind of genre or musical form would “empty orchestra” be on its own?

Step 3: Record a piece of music exemplifying the ideas that arose to you during Step 2.

Tasks Upon Completion:

Label: Include “disquiet0646” (no spaces/quotes) in the name of your track.

Upload: Post your track to a public account (SoundCloud preferred but by no means required). It’s best to focus on one track, but if you post more than one, clarify which is the “main” rendition.

Share: Post your track and a description/explanation at https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0646-empty-orchestra/

Discuss: Listen to and comment on the other tracks.

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0648: Shadow Boxing
Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0648 discussion thread on Lines:
I studied martial arts – judo, tae kwon do, karate – when I was young. One exercise common in those practices that's similar to shadow boxing is the "kata", a Japanese word that means "form" or "way of doing". Where shadow boxing is more freeform, the kata is a choreographed pattern of martial arts movements practiced solo or with a partner. Kata can also be applied to skills used in daily living or work. I tried to interpret the flow of a kata here through music.

Used the Fors Tela modal synthesizer plugin on four tracks in Ableton Live. I started with a tanpura like drone track using the Max for Live Tombola sequencer, which is similar to the one in the OP-1. The main melody was created with a violin-like Tela preset using a K-Board keyboard. Along with the effects within the Fors plugin, I used Valhalla Shimmer and Phonolyth Cascade reverbs, and Output Portal.

Imagine a temple,
where only white azaleas bloom—
a pure white haven.
