Regarded as the father of contemporary haiku, Masaoka Shiki was a poet and literary critic during the Meiji period Japan.

He advocated realistic observation by “sketching” (shasei) poems and going out into nature with notebooks, thus abandoning the traditional subjects of haiku of the time. His advice for an aspiring poet was, “Use both imaginary pictures and real ones, but prefer the real ones.”

If We Met Under Different Chirographs (naviarhaiku619)

City Diaries
Bruno Bernard 2024
(english)
"City Diaries" is a refection on our city lives, a daily imaginary journey that invites us to
introspection. Te world of sound that surrounds us is experienced in a unique way by
each and every one of us, yet we all share it.
Each stroll is unique, each moment unique.
It's up to us to make these situations our own, to build our own dream cosmology.
Considering the creative power of what surrounds us as a tool for inner construction, as
poetry, is a response to our materialistic lives and can help us better apprehend the
modern world.
True to Gaston Bachelard, the aim here is to give free rein to daydreaming, while at the
same time giving full artistic expression to the noise of our times, an essential concept
developed by Luigi Russolo.
City Diaries was composed from sounds collected at night in my city (Chalon sur
Saône), which gave rise to an imaginary vocabulary for this acousmatic piece.
Our sound context is a refection of our times, and it's up to us to seize it and, like
modern alchemists, appropriate one of the last things that is free - noise - and transform
it into a work of art. Fortunately, it's one of the last things we have free access to.

« City Diaries » est une réfexion autour de nos vies citadines, un parcours imaginaire
quotidien qui nous invite à l'introspection. L'univers sonore qui nous entoure, à la fois
ressenti de manière unique par chacun d'entre nous, nous est pourtant commun, nous
l'avons en partage.
Chaque déambulation est singulière, chaque moment est unique.
C'est à nous de nous approprier ces situations afn de construire une cosmologie onirique
qui nous soit propre.
Envisager la puissance créative de ce qui nous entoure comme un outil de construction
intérieure, une poésie, est une réponse à nos vies matérialistes et peut nous aider à mieux
appréhender le monde moderne.
Fidèle à Gaston Bachelard, il s'agit ici de laisser libre cours à la rêverie et en même temps
donner toute son importance artistique au bruit de notre époque, concept essentiel
développé par Luigi Russolo.
City Diaries a été composé à partir de sons collectés de nuit dans ma ville (Chalon sur
Saône) qui ont donné naissance à un vocabulaire imaginaire permettant de construire
cette pièce acousmatique.
Notre contexte sonore est le refet de notre époque, à nous de nous en emparer pour, tels
des alchimistes modernes, s'approprier une des dernières choses qui soit gratuite -le
bruit- et le transformer en oeuvre artistique. C'est heureusement une des dernière chose
qui soit nous accessible librement.
