The Mountain (naviarhaiku-118-silencearrives) by ikjoyce published on 2016-04-08T13:23:11Z This week's Naviar Haiku challenge was based on this haiku by Kashyapi: "Silence arrives / as mountains / wrapped in rain" I tried to represent the mountain as a contant, solid feeling bass note, with a cloud layer drifting over the top (the brassy sound). The rain was represented fairly literally with the random sequenced high notes, but then a second 'rainlike' sequence that morphs and changes over the course of a few bars is also present to give the chilly feeling and add more weight. By opening filters and adding harmonics the 'mountain' is given shape, and then disappears as the whole piece dissolves into silence at the end. Not only was this a single live take, it was also the first take! :-) Update: Following some feedback, I have tried a second version, with the mid-range sequence much less prominent: https://soundcloud.com/ikjoyce/the-mountain-take-2 Genre Ambient Comment by Thoribass wonderful atmosphere and sound 2016-04-13T15:27:08Z Comment by jussi piekkala Great concept and nice ingredients. But in my humble opinion I can not agree with the mid-range sequence. I would love to hear a version where you have dropped out or faded and rear-positioned the mid-range sequence. 2016-04-09T08:57:17Z Comment by WÜST wonderful ,fantastic sounds and composition 2016-04-08T17:12:18Z Comment by drreic great vibes through perfect assembling of sounds 2016-04-08T15:20:08Z Comment by Ahornberg beautiful piece! 2016-04-08T14:12:19Z
