Process notes
On 02 Aug, I recorded Polysynth in Bitwig for 20 minutes after building an interesting modulation system.
In the very early hours of 03 Aug, I recorded a Eurorack modular performance for 14 minutes.
This piece uses short sections of both along as re-imagined in Ableton Live.
Tools used - Bitwig, Bitwig Polysynth, Eurorack modules (Nonlinear Circuits Dos Osc, O_c, Temps Utiles, Braids, Behringer Abacus & Neutron), Zoom H6, Ableton Live & native devices.
This original version of "This Body Is Not Dry" was submitted as part of Naviar Haiku 552, Stretching Ahead.
Stretching ahead -
the straight road,
loneliness.
by: Santoka Taneda
A wandering poet and ascetic Zen priest, Santōka was a disciple of Ogiwara Seisensui, one of the first poets to discard the traditional use of the 5-7-5 structure in haiku.
Santōka’s poetry emphasizes the necessity of *sabi* (solitude) in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment and serenity.
