Sometimes as I am waking, I swear I hear music that is not there.
Process notes –
For this, I put together a 4 track piece in FL Studio and exported stems on Thursday and then reworked those stems along with an altered piece of the full mix in Ableton Live on Friday.

As customary, the first haiku of the year is by Kobayashi Issa.
Among the four great masters of Japanese haiku, Kobayashi Issa (1763-1828) was the most prolific: during his lifetime he wrote over 20,000 haiku, hundreds of tanka, and several haibun.

This was recorded using Xynthesizr by Phonolynth, Eventide Ultratap, and Supergroup Audiosave within Audiobus 3 on an iPad Mini 4.
Xynthesizr allows the use of randomization and custom scales – my scale here consisted of only the first five notes of a major scale – do-re-mi-fa-sol.
For this I used Live, Live native devices, Dillon Bastan’s Rhythmorphic and Arturia’s Mini V & Prophet-5 V.

Morikawa Kyoroku (1656-1715) studied with the great Basho for ten months, who was the one who chose his nickname Kyoroku because he excelled in all six (roku) art forms: calligraphy, painting, spear, sword, horse riding and haiku.

This started as a challenge in May 2023 in Brian Funk’s MPC community and I let it sit for a while in a “pure piano form.” This year, I found a way into editing what I had and then added some treated cello and clarinet. It came together fairly quickly after that.
