@ablaut 's recent posts with his responses to the Naviar Haiku Challenge inspired me to give it a try. This uses VCV for audio FX from Logic Pro (the paulstrech’d strings are processed through two @Squinky 's Formant filters and the shimmer reverb is an adaptation of the patch @fractalgee recently posted.
The haiku was:
Early Morning,
One star remaining,
It’s a good day too.
I’m not 100% satisfied with this, but the point for me of doing these haikus is that I’m under a time constraint so need to commit to a basic idea and do the best I can without fussing about it too much.
desolate street at dawn
last night’s turmoil
whispers in the wind
Track for the Naviar Haiku Challenge 493
Made in Logic Pro, using VCV Rack for audio and MIDI FX (my DrumMap, RareBreed’s Eugene, Audible Instrument’s Texture Synthesizer, Valley’s Plateau)
As before, not 100% satisfied, but I’m using these haiku’s as an artificial “deadline” generator to just see what I can manage to do with these constraints.
For Naviar’s Haiku Challenge #494
On the canal bank
Vivid yellow irises –
Silent sentinels
Logic Pro’s sampled Bösendorfer played through some virtual tape loops via VCV Rack: 5 Nysthi Simpliciters, 5 Count Modula Gate to Trigger converters and VirtualModular’s shimmer made with Clouds and Plateau.
bird polyphony
– treble, alto, tenor, bass,
Spring meadow concert
Polyphony or cacaphony? You be the judge.
Sequenced with VCV Rack modules ( JW-Module’s NoteSeqFu, Count Modula’s Euclidian Sequencer, Stoermelder’s 8Face, Little Utils Teleport, Submarine’s And Gates, my Tintinnabulator and Inv harmonizers) to drive several tracks of sampled flutes and bells.
[EDIT: re-saved it today (July 11) and the forum now creates a nice preview] (for some reason the VCV forum can’t generate the normal soundcloud preview today )
Another haiku challenge. This one has less VCV Rack than previous attempts, but there’s some in there!
For the weekly Naviar Haiku challenge 496 - #naviarhaiku
mountain’s red leaves
the setting sun returns
to the sky
Mostly created with builtin Logic Pro instruments, but with some VCV Rack sequencing courtesy Impromptu’s ProbKey and Count Modula’s Euclidian Sequencer.
No haiku from me this week - I got distracted testing out new modules in Rack and things ended up completely incompatible with the assigned poem. It’s 100% VCV this time. It started as a bit of fooling around with Tonecarver’s Traveler sequencer driving some simple FM-OP voices, but then added his Morse module (playing the Rack log.txt, a random markdown file and one of my module’s JSON config files) I added Squnky’s Saws through his Formant filters and Sapphire’s Elastica. All performed in VCV Rack, exported via NYSTHI’s Polyrec and then mixed in Logic Pro. Beat provided by Seaside Modular’s Tala. Image by Nick Shandra at Unsplash.
A track for the Naviar Haiku Challenge #499. A hybrid track using Vult’s Caudal as a sequencer driving a mixture of Bogaudio and Surge VCOs with some distortion from Saphire Elastica and Free Surface’s Watertable. All running in Logic Pro which adds some binaural panning. The haiku is by Hege A. J. Lepri (http://www.hegeajlepri.ca/) :
afternoon heat
the heavenly dance of
cumulus clouds
Another Haiku made almost entirely with VCV Rack Pro orchestrated in Logic Pro. For this week’s Naviar Haiku challenge #503. Haiku by Darren Bourne halF unusuaL
