A mountain village
under the pilled-up snow
the sound of water.

Regarded as the father of contemporary haiku, Masaoka Shiki was a poet and literary critic during the Meiji period Japan.

He advocated realistic observation by “sketching” (shasei) poems and going out into nature with notebooks, thus abandoning the traditional subjects of haiku of the time. His advice for an aspiring poet was, “Use both imaginary pictures and real ones, but prefer the real ones.”

under the pilled-up snow [naviarhaiku450]

Four voices, all sines (mathematically, if not synthesiser wise, the most simple). Sequenced semi-independently. Had some envelopes at first but when I unplugged to rework the patch, figured why not pare it back further. Manual tweaking of the voice levels with a Music Thing Modular Control.

Disquiet Junto Project 0556: Gabber Ambient
The Assignment: Field-test a hybrid genre.

I started with a 200 bpm Kickdrum in Live. It seemed to be enough for some minutes. I added a lot of things, just to not be lazy. From there I went one by feeling. It was basically a loop with minimal variations when I exported stems and recut the track in Reaper by destroying a lot of things. I am really neither a fan of Kickdrums nor from bpms faster than 90, but after all I liked the track.

Garbient [disquiet0556]

This track is intended to create the soundscape of a superficially quiet place, where the hectic noises of industrial manufacturing processes blend with the calm melodies of strings and piano.
The string part was played by a Sonic Pi algorithm programmed exclusivly for this track - it reacts on Midi-notes and creates highly randomized sections based on these inputs.

The music was inspired by the Disquiet Junto Project 0556 (see below), the proposed Gabber-music inspired its interpretation as machine-induced production-sounds.

Disquiet Junto Project 0557: Condensation Is a Form of Change
The Assignment: Interpret a graphic score that depicts four phases.

I didn't want to understand the picture as a kind of timeline to be read from left to right. From the beginning I felt the urge for simultaneity, as it is inherent in images. I saw four or five elements, of which the lower/left one is incomprehensible, condensing on a background and perhaps disappearing again like stains from a coffee cup.

With that in mind, I started playing around in Live, mostly with samplers like DecentSampler, Soundpaint, and Spitfire Labs, and a lot of destructive FX. I wanted to achieve the mysteriousness that I felt myself when I looked at the image. The only discernible motif kind of emerged as I played around, it was actually too clear to me, but then I didn't want to go without it.
