The Glassy Rim Of the High Moon (NaviarHaiku128) by ikjoyce published on 2016-06-15T17:42:01Z This week's Naviar Haiku is by Subtle Seas: "Evening light / sipping from the glassy rim / of high moon". For more information visit: http://www.naviarrecords.com/about/naviar-haiku To prove how much of an inspiration these Haiku are: The sound ideas came to me straight away on reading it, I sat at my un-patched modular, took aim, and there it was - from my head, into a bundle of wires, and recorded in the space of an hour. I think that is a record for me :-) My track was made using my modular synth - I wanted to create a sort of glassy tone, but also to evoke evening. I find that the sound of a slowly played harmonica evocative of evening, so I aimed for a sort of harmonica / glass hybrid as my main 'melody'. I added another voice making some random twinkles to evoke the stars and twinkling lights. This all needed something to contrast against, so a deep bass was added to add the weight of the evening shadows. I then added a field recording of some birds to add a bit of air to it all.
