Acousmatic Fragment #003 — Seawater Imagery

Like memories etched in wet sand—struck, erased, and quietly remaining.
音響如濕沙中的記憶，反覆被拍打、擦除、留下殘痕。

Acousmatic Fragment #003 — “Seawater Imagery”

Places we have been - they guide us somehow. Sometimes even if we only have been dreaming of beeing there.

In the streets of Osaka there is a lot of melodic sounds in the air. From traffic lights, garbage collections, mobile traders selling ramen soup... 

In this track everything you hear is from field recordings made by @maguri - thank you Martin!

Osaka

TrillScape

Music for / inspied by the first line of Crime and Punishment, which reads as; 
At the beginning of July, during a spell of exceptionally hot weather, towards evening, a certain young man came down on to the street from the little room he rented from some tenants who lived in Stolyarnyi Lane, stepped out onto the street, and slowly, almost hesitantly, set off towards the Kokushkin Bridge.

I picked that line, in part because its the beginning of July as I make this and also we've had a spell of hot weather. I read this book probably 25 years ago and read it again at the start of this year.  
For this track I jumped onto Freesound.org and got some street sounds from St. Petersburg and the horse drawn carriage sounds - this seemed to fit the 19th century feel. I new then the music and field recordings should merge together. I wanted tension and the sense of the character in the book being alone with the music I added - soft tension strings and ambient keys.

'slightly faint
yet clear
the milky way'

by: Toshio Kiyosaki

Toshio Kiyosaki (1922-1999) was a Japanese haiku poet and scholar of Japanese literature. He published a biography of Kyoshi Takahama in 1966 and co-authored Kyoshi Monogatari, another study on the renowned haiku poet, in 1979.

The Milky Way (amanogawa, or "Heavenly River" in Japanese) is a kigo for Autumn, mainly because that's when the galaxy is most visible in Japan.
