Regrets

This is the closing track off of "Hyphae", a collection of tracks I made with fellow ambient guitarist Wodwo (Ray Robinson -- https://soundcloud.com/user-364196783-552705040). 

It all started with discovering each other’s work on Soundcloud and grew into a lively exchange of ideas and sketches. With both being on a quest to take the less obvious sonic route, always searching for the uncommon guitar sound, and their fondness for spacious and slightly unsettling ambient compositions, the sessions were kickstarted with the appropriately titled "Germ", which gestated into what became the first completed track of this long-distance collaboration between Munich and Derby. 

The title for the second track, "Hyphae" came to mind after reading Merlin Sheldrake’s fascinating “Entangled Life”. It seems apt to draw parallels between the massive mycorrhizal fungi hyphae networks (the "Wood Wide Web") that connect different species of plants and transport substances and information between them, and the to and fro of abstract layers of sonic matter that passed between the two musicians. 

The collection closes with "Simulacrum", probing the terrain where a bright major key tonality coalesces with a bit-crushed low-end undercurrent. And despite what your ears might lead you to believe, no keyboards or synths were used in any of this music! 

Hyphae is also available from Wodwo's Bandcamp page: rayrobinson.bandcamp.com/album/hyphae

Meditations on a haiku by Santōka Taneda's:

Evening sky,
the silhouettes of farmers in their fields
deepen.


(translated by James Abrams)

A wandering poet and ascetic Zen priest, Santōka 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.
