El Wud Experimental Ambient Project

This track is based on reworked trumpet solo recordings. Through manipulation, layering and synthesis, the original material is transformed into a new soundscape where the instrument's identity dissolves and reassembles into unexpected forms, suspended between memory, error and digital transformation.

Inspired by the following haiku written by Anne Carpenter. She is part of the Stay Cool project - a collaboration between #NaviarRecords and Red Earth Ecology - that aims to promote techniques for Japanese-inspired prose and foster international collaboration. Darkness cocoons, Red and yellow slowly creep. Silence disappears. Picture by Jason Richardson

Inspired by the following haiku written by Takahama Kyoshi, a Japanese poet active during the Shōwa period of Japan. A single paulownia leaf sunlit as it falls to the ground. @naviar-records Picture by Gayatri Malhotra.

Imagining a microphone placed inside a mole’s tunnel, the piece gathers and transforms barely perceptible underground sounds. A listening practice directed toward what usually remains beneath the surface.

Under a vague and dim light by El Wud

There are moments when sounds and images fall like rain from the clouds of memory.

The idea for this track was born from listening to a piano experiment by Meccaniche del Suono (https://soundcloud.com/meccaniche-del-suono/2-di-3-hole-third-disquiet0698). The sound of the piano (Meccaniche del Suono) made me imagine that moment of suspension in the air just before the rain. I thank the author (@meccaniche-del-suono) for the permission to rework and publish the track. I invite you...

This song is for Palestine. The voices at the end of the track were recorded during a pro-Palestine demonstration in Naples. My name has dissolved letter by letter, into the air. My dreams have vanished in a timeless sky I don't remember my face Jewish soldiers stole it They dissolved it And now I no longer have a name, nor a face Like my land, torn and devastated.

Inspired by the following haiku written by Andrea Cecon, a hearing aids technician, a traveler, and a haijin published all over the world. He finds his inspiration in memories, travels, and everyday life… thinking of us the sound of wind among the pines Picture by Ali Kazal @naviar-records

Inspired by the following haiku written by Konishi Raizan, a famous haiku poet of the Genroku period (1688-1704). spring dream… not becoming unhinged is what’s unbearable Haiku by Konishi Raizan (https://www.poemofquotes.com/famoushaiku/raizan.php) Picture by USGS (https://unsplash.com/it/foto/a-red-blue-and-green-fluid-painting-on-a-black-background-hoS3dzgpHzw) @naviar-records

Inspired by the sound of a music box recorded several years ago (you can listen to it at the beginning and at the end of the track)

The idea for this track was born from listening to a vocal experiment by Wildsilences (Wildsilences is no longer on SoundCloud, but will forever stay on Bandcamp, https://wildsilences.bandcamp.com/). I tried to reproduce the voice as if it were a sound far from the sea. I thank the author for the permission to rework and publish the track. I invite you to visit his very interesting Bandcamp page.

Re-elaboration of human breathing, voices and cat purrs

Track created by processing a lonely voice recorded in a street of Naples. For all the suffering, forgotten and unheard voices of the world.

This track draws inspiration from the rhythms and sounds of popular music from southern Italy (Neapolitan tammuriata and pizzica salentina) with electronic processing and recordings of voices and sounds from some Neapolitan markets. The Laurieddhu is a mischievous elf from the folklore of southern Italy, in Naples he is known as Munaciello. He never appears during the day. Very similar and corresp...

The idea of ​​this track comes from listening to the track Un Momento 2 by Rosmarino Baia(https://soundcloud.com/rosmarinobaia). Komorebi (木漏れ日)in the Japanese language is the light that filters through the leaves of the trees, a brief but very intense moment that expresses a state of mind, a feeling that is elusive, like the rays of the sun filtering through the leaves trees in a forest or du...

Inspired by this haiku written by Santōka, a wandering poet and ascetic Zen priest, he was a disciple of Ogiwara Seisensui, one of the first poets to discard the traditional use of the 5-7-5 structure in haiku. Santōka’s poetry emphasizes the necessity of sabi (solitude) in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment and serenity. Early morning, One star remaining, It’s a good day too. Haiku by Santo...
