the sound of petals
sifting down together.

Miura Chora (1729-1780) was a Japanese poet from Toba (present-day Mie Prefecture). Early in his career, he came into contact with the Teimon School, and bonded with the great Yosa Buson. An admirer of Matsuo Bashō, he strived for a return to the simple tones and spirit of the latter's poetics, criticizing the vulgarization of haiku of his era and advocating the so-called "return" to a Bashō's style.

Disquiet Junto Project 0676: Sub Melody
The Assignment: Bury a slow melody deep inside a drone.

Step 1: We did a drone project last week and it went well, so let’s do another one. You needn’t have done last week’s to do this week, as is always the case. Again, 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: Think about what makes a melody, even a very slow and simple melody, different from a drone.

Step 3: Now record a piece of music that is, objectively, a deep drone, but somehow within it, somewhere well below the surface, include a slow-moving melody.

Up to my neck - disquiet0676

This track was inspired by this week's Disquiet Junto project, which was to create a drone with a melody well hidden in the soundscape. I composed a drone - as in last week's track - based on sounds I created for another endeavour, and hid a slow, soothing melody within the soundscape.

The Melody Within (Disquiet0676)

A new game for new children in a new century, echoes of old mistakes, history on repeat, maybe next time! Lets go to the moon, but not without anticipation, passion, wonder, and regret. Would they recognise themselves as children?

A tribute too Georges Bizet's Op 22 for piano, go listen.

This piano is electric, as is the bass, the found sounds are eclectic: cornwall and NASA, in flight, and in repose. The space inhabited is by Sean Costello/Valhalla DSP.

cloud shadows - Naviarhaiku572

This morning's "what if" . . .  what if I played the root note of each shakuhachi in different octaves, in other words, re-voicing the three root notes of B, C & D shakuhachis. Here are the results.
