Based on improvisation and little compositions performed while travelling in Argentina last year (2016), edited, mutilated, treated and expanded in Paris 2017, here some charango music I finished recently:

Haiku poetry and music.

Naviar Haiku is a music project in which artists are invited to make new music inspired by a weekly assigned haiku poem.

Here my recent contribution to this project, March and April 2017:

My track “Let The Clouds Come” has been included in this compilation by Naviar records:

Haiku poetry and music.

Naviar Haiku is a music project in which artists are invited to make new music inspired by a weekly assigned haiku poem.

Haiku is a traditional and short form of Japanese poetry consisting of three lines: it’s about moments of objective experience which lead to deeper considerations about life and nature. The juxtaposition of two images or ideas and the consequent creation of a gap in the imagery gives the reader (or, in this case, the musician) the chance to complete the poem with his/her own interpretation.

This project is about expanding the meaning of a poem beyond its words, and the active role of the reader in haiku poetry, unique in the literary realm, is what inspired this project.

music recorded Friday 31st march 2017 at the pleasure dome.

Recorded fro DD’s ongoing series Film Noir/NightWatch and for
Diquiet junto project 0274

Nightwatch is a trilogy performed on mostly electric basses , it’s a trilogy but today I recorded a 4th part for this junto, a solo bass performance, and then “broke” the low notes that populate the pauses with extreme tremolos, chopper, skidder and regular tremolos at hard settings (square wave, loads of drive and saturation)
I love the way those tremolos, used in this “chop down” way, break the decay of the notes and make the soft vanish of music sound beautifully wrong.

Added huge reverbs and wah wah on the reverb.
Broken ambient bass.

4th part of a trilogy.

Nightwatch III: Nocturnal Still Life
Three electric basses by d.d,
Low bass (tuned B-E-A-D) lead bass (Drake Custom with high C string), a third track with volume pedal (soft “synth-pad” like sounds)
No synth , no strange FX, only reverb and delay.

Nightwatch II: The Dark Side

3 Tracks recorded last week, one bas splaying the low B note, another “lead bass” playing the melody lines, a third track playing through a delay line with volume pedal and feeding a granulate plugin instance.
Reverb, delay, and some seconds of overdrive. That’s it.
