I was honoured to get a message from Mark Sartori (@user-83791253-79179570), whose music & guitar playing I'm a big fan of, asking if I might want to collaborate on one of his pieces of music. He suggested I add some percussion to his guitar, and this is what came together. Mark S has since recorded a new, solo version of the song as well. 

Thanks Mark, for giving me the nod to work with you on this really fine & catchy tune. Hope folks dig this pan-Pacific partnership!

Cosmic Bonds

using various modules for clicks and cuts - chord is sampled into one channel of beads, white noise sampled into another channel, with very short envelopes + independent gates vcaing the l/r outputs. bursts of triggers pinging and envelope. all triggers semi random from turing machine. kick from tea kick for a change, instead of a sample on my disting.

field recording from my archive layered in ableton live afterwards.

"Whispers in the Mist"
Valhjim

A suggestive jazz piece with acoustic and electric guitars, piano, sax, and drums. A bit dreamy and melancholy for a cloudy afternoon, some hot coffee, and a warm cozy place to look at the world outside.
**************
Valhjim: Guitars, Synthesizers.
Martin Miers: Drums.

Hope you like it, foks.

Thanks for listening
and for your ever kind and candid comments.

Whispers in the Mist - Valhjim w/Martin Miers

listening to the silence

Mount Asama
amidst its fumes and ash
fresh young leaves! 

The event Bosun refers to is the eruption of Mount Asama in 1783, which instantly killed over 1,000 people. The toxic ash traveled 100 miles to Edo, making farmland useless and causing many more people to starve.

One of the four great haiku masters, Yosa Buson studied both Japanese and Chinese poetry. He was also an accomplished painter, and most of his poems were accompanied by paintings, resulting in a more diverse and individual set of works than the one by his main historical influence, Basho.
