Dark Clouds Menacing (naviarhaiku518)

Want to see exactly how this strange little piece was made? - You can see the slowed down video recording @ https://youtu.be/EkoLvUJ4Qec

A Moog iPad app was made to play a simple continuous saw wave ... which was then filmed, being waggled around ... the resulting recording was slowed down, to really hear the true phasing effects, due entirely to the proximity and orientation between the iPad speakers and the video recorder ... Enjoy! 🤗

For this project I wanted to re-record my Jamuary track “Glitched Guitar / Lots of Ripples”. I chose this track because I thought it was just a simple guitar melody and a bit of knob twisting with effects and therefore easy to reproduce with voice.

Alas the original track was made with Norns Glitchlooper - a five track asynchronous looper with a mind of its own - fed into Norns RPLS, which can be a delay, a looper or anything in between. So it was really impossible to get the same result. Also pitched voices don’t have the same appeal as pitched guitar plucks. My submission sounds a bit like a birdhouse after you handed out the wrong birdseed. Still, it was a fun challenge to try and do this based on just voice.

Disquiet0633 - Glitched Voice / Lots of Ripples

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.

Wordless Butterfly

Wordless Butterfly (NaviarHaiku532)

Using slowed down fragments of recordings of pedalled piano notes, @stellato-strings touching her violin with the bow, a creaking piano stool and ticking clock, I created this piece using loops and effects on Ableton Live.

It's my contribution to this week's @naviar-records haiku prompt.

The title 'along' is taken from this haiku poem by Takashi Matsumoto:

'Flowing along
changing its colors
a soap bubble.'

Takashi Matsumoto was a Japanese poet originally from Tokyo. Born into a family deeply interested in nō theater, he also devoted himself to it in his youth until 1921, when he came into contact with Hototogisu magazine and haiku poetry. Beginning the following year, Matsumoto became a student of Takahama Kyoshi. In 1946, he launched the magazine Fue 笛 ('The Flute').

The image is from a fraction of a picture by Rodion Kutsaiev.

In memory of John Hinks

Tall, wide-arching trees
Assume a cathedral shape
Until darkness falls
 
I found out today that John passed away. John participated in the Naviar Haiku challenge for over 4 years, almost every week, and shared both his music and poetry with us. He'll be deeply missed.

"John Hinks, aka FlownBlue, was a prolific and talented composer, and a regular participant in the Haiku challenge. Aside from his solo project, John was also involved in multiple projects: ‘Windfall Light‘ (with Jim Tetlow), ‘Abstract Blue‘ (with Kevin Buckland), ‘Light Fragments‘ (with Steve Escott), Szukanie (with Michał Wojciechowski), and Meadowlight (with Emma Reed)."
