Can't express how much I love how the rhythm sneaks in here. Well done.

love the commitment to the sounds themselves

Very fine observation of micro rhythms. Like it very much! Truely dancing flames and a cosm of combustion itself.

Love this idea of carving a rhythm out of the spaces between

quiescence!
touching not the blossoms,
temple bell's voice

Arii Shokyu-Ni was a haiku poetess during the Edo period who began a wandering life after running away from her husband at 29 with the haiku poet Kohaku. Just like Matsuo Basho, "the Nun Shokyu" traveled to the Deep North of Japan.

If I was better at 'social' media' stuff, I'd be making a bigger fuss of this 1,000th upload! 🎉 

heaven and earth:
neither exists apart from
snow fluttering down

Kajiwara Hashin was born in 1864 and studied under Kyoshi. Although Hashin is not very well-known as a poet, this particular haiku that he wrote is quite popular worldwide: it was first translated by Miyamori Asataro and later by R. H. Blyth.

Disquiet Junto | Combust a Move - disquiet0692

Disquiet 0692 called for us to record the sound of fire and use it as a percussion layer in a composition.

I broke out my trusty stereo field recorder and captured the sounds of match strikes, a lighter, a gas stove, a gas furnace, and a wooden-wicked candle. I did minimal sonic processing on the samples, mainly touches of distortion here and there. All of the samples except the candle were loaded into a custom sampler set up and programmed as a drum kit. The drum pattern is supported by a full-length recording of the candle, processed rhythmically with a combination of a highly sensitive noise gate, beat breakers, step FX, delay, and quantization.

The percussion is the center of the piece, but there's also some vintage analog synth goodness in the background. All of the synth parts were played and manipulated on a Moog Minitaur, my current favorite desktop analog synth.

swallowed voices
rhythms spark from what remains

i like how this came out, and plan to integrate it into my slowly expanding project at https://museumofhistoricalmaterials.bandcamp.com

a frantic 5/4 reworking of a 4/4 track i've been working on this week. mellotron via m-tron pro iv. blackhole immersive, ds tantra 2 and imagiro autochroma pad things out in the return channels. at 30s, an ableton percussion rack (EFX Small Cymbals) starts playing out a morse code message: "kaufmann, you scumbag".

Here's my musical resonance to this week's haiku from @naviar-records.

slanting sunlight rays
a warm hazy afternoon
the forest to hear

Thanks to Marco Sebastiano Alessi from Naviar records.

New track with some noises sent in from my buddy Echo Slyvixden. Thanks for listening!

Undisturbance

All here, in reality, are works in progress and are therefore apt to change at any time. All those except XIII Sisters and RAW which, as many of you may have done, I literally gave away in return for their placement in a library. Something I won't be doing again any time soon. If you have a use for something you hear here please just ask.

ChatGTP said of AI Music...
'Creative AI tools can be seen as sophisticated plagiarism software, as they do not produce genuinely original content but rather emulate and modify existing works by artists subtly enough to circumvent copyright laws'

Sometimes it takes a dispassionate, independent view to actually see the truth of it ...

There are links to XiiixxiQ below. Your mileage may vary as to whether it decides to work on your system or not. It only runs on a Mac because I really don't have time to do all the necessary work to make it compatible with anything other than my 2015 MacBook Pro :-(. It is still being developed (for my own use) and improved, and I may yet get round to doing another release if I can find the time to tidy it all up.
