Naviar Haiku 057

Participants are to create a track inspired by the assigned haiku poem and post it on Naviar’s Soundcloud group Naviar Laboratory (https://soundcloud.com/groups/naviar-laboratory)

Deadline: 11th February 2015

life after the flood (naviarhaiku187)

Flood waters recede
Narrandera eucalypts reflected
Which way is up

Haiku by Julie Briggs
Music by Fiona Caldarevic
Instrument sounds by ComposerCloud

For this haiku  I created a more classical piece for piano quintet (piano + string quartet). I imagined more turbulent floodwaters eventually receding into more calming sounds, with the sustained strings being the water and the more and more random high piano notes being the eucalypt leaves reflecting on the water.

I do not apologize for the bird sounds.

Sepia Dawn [naviarhaiku188]

Inspired by Sue Killham's haiku:
Verdant town of trees
Poised upon the river's edge
Waiting for one day

This is an expressive piano piece with some viola in the background.  I was mainly inspired by the trees being poised upon the river's edge, so I thought about what the trees could see all day long in the river.

UPDATED with an improved sound mix.

The River's Edge (naviarhaiku189)

Poisoned Waterhole:
Violent Disregard Echoes.
Keenly Felt Today
