silently asleep

Naviar Broadcast #382 –  Faring over the lake – Wednesday 8th October 2025

An electronic composition created using Pure Data .

Autumn Red Dragonfly (naviarhaiku614)

A slow, laid-back funk groove with jazzy sax, clavinet, deep fender jazz bass, and abstract synth textures.
Smooth, atmospheric, and slightly cinematic — the kind of track that lives between a modal jam and a chill-out or lounge beat.

Performed by DD - clavinet, electric bass, abstract synth, drum program.
With Miguel Yanover - Tenor saxophone

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0720: One from Two. The Assignment: Combine a pair of your recent tracks.

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0720 discussion thread on Lines:

I have a collection of audio odds and ends stored on my laptop. The files are comprised of field recordings, instrument recordings, unfinished modular synth and Ableton Live noodlings.  I took two of the more recent experimental sketches that were created in Ableton Live and combined them the best I could, adjusting the pitch as needed. I added an additional track that has heavily processed sliced bits from one of the recordings to try to create more depth to the piece.

The Assignment: Play along with a storm

Step 1: On freesound.org, find a recording of a bad storm. Or use one of your own.

Step 2: Listen to the recording from Step 1.

Step 3: Select a section of the recording from Step 1, perhaps 3 to 5 minutes in length.

Step 4: Listen several times in a row to the section selected in Step 3. Get to know its sounds, and the overall shape of the recording.

Step 5: Record a track in which you play along with the storm.

Little song forSaitō Sanki haiku:

"An autumn nightfall
the skeleton of a huge fish
drawn back by the sea."

I translate the title to my language, catalan. "Drawn back by the sea" is "Arrossegat per la mar" on my island. In Catalonia, they say: "Arrossegat pel mar". The Balearic form is more poetic for me.
