Takakuwa Rankō was a haijin from Kanazawa and a student of Wada Kiin. Born into a wealthy merchant family, he travelled all over Japan and finally settled in Kyoto, practising as a doctor. A great admirer of Bashō, he erected a small shrine (the Bashō-dō 芭蕉堂) in his honour in 1783. Among his main pupils was the poet Sakurai Baishitsu.

Among the four great masters of Japanese haiku, Kobayashi Issa was the most prolific: during his lifetime he wrote over 20,000 haiku, hundreds of tanka, and several haibun. If you want to find out more about this prolific author I suggest you check out this database of his haiku.

Drone Meditation III Arpeggiator

In response to the disquiet junto assignment: Record a drone that goes from simple to complex to simple.

Loosly based on Saba Makam. Combination of Basille and Surge synths with clarinets and horns form BBC orchestra (Spitfire audio)

Saba (disquiet0675)

The Assignment: Record a drone that goes from simple to complex to simple.
 
Step 1: You may, yourself, be experienced recording drone music, or you may never have recorded any. You may not even be sure what drone music is, in which case read up a bit. Not matter your experience and familiarity, please give some thought as to what constitutes drone music.

Step 2: Now think about what makes a drone simple and what makes a drone complex.

Step 3: Now record a piece of drone music that begins simple, gets complex, and then gets simple again. And note: The simple drone at the end needn’t necessarily be the same sort of drone with which the piece opens.

Edits: 
* Print 2: Reprint to remove clock errors in the outro. Less low end roll-off. 
* Print 3: Removed some Lexicon ticks

Notes:
* Clicky drone: Arturia Microfreak “Cliched Things” into Lexicon PCM 41, full square wave modulation, fed to a spring reverb by a Radial Tank Driver.
* Pad: Waldorf Blofeld “Sonnenaufgang”.
* Piano: Roland MP-600 into Memory Man Deluxe.

Hibernating insects start to surfa ce

Delicate static and softly blooming textures, like the quiet hum of a dim light bulb. Each track unfolds with warm crackles and subtle shifts — an exploration of presence, fragility, and the intimate noise of quiet spaces.

lfman + Sonitus Mortis Release Hauntingly Beautiful Album MOTUS
An evocative journey through sound, memory, and motion

Early in 2025, composer Frank Ilfman and avant-garde sound collective Sonitus Mortis have joined forces to release MOTUS, a genre-defying album that merges cinematic orchestration with experimental soundscapes. Now available on all major streaming platforms, MOTUS explores the emotional momentum of the human experience, blending melancholy strings, immersive ambient textures, and unsettling sonic motifs.
Sonitus Mortis introduces a raw, often spectral edge, resulting in a visceral listening experience that is both meditative and unsettling.

"MOTUS is movement through memory," Ilfman says. "It’s about how sound can carry emotion, time, and even ghosts."

MOTUS is more than an album—it's an audial film, a sonic elegy, and a bold statement in contemporary composition.


Frank Ilfman - vocals, Reels, Loops, drone machins, Moog, Roland Cr78, Juno 60, Otarie Machine.
Sonitus Mortis - Metal Machines, oil Drums, Roland 808, Korg MS20, Teac Reels, DAT, Speak&Spell, Electric Porta Machine.
Vocals - Moto
Music mixed at the shad by Frank Ilfman & Uno
Mastered by Leopoldo Lopes at Sound Pressure Studios
