 Naviar Haiku

Insomnia in D (the line, on a string)[naviarhaiku139]

This piece was created in response to the Haiku by Amy Lowell:

The chirping of crickets in the night
Is intermittent,
Like the twinkling of stars.

As part of the 161st Haiku challenge by Naviar Records.

It was recorded on a Zoom H6, which was pointed into the orchard whilst I sat on the balcony listening to the night, looking at the sky and playing flute. One take, no edits, just some compression and a touch of reverb added.

Crickets Under Stars [Naviarhaiku161]

Flood waters recede
Narrandera eucalypts reflected
Which way is up?

Floating Reflected [naviarhaiku187]

Created in response to a poem and a sad part of history. 

"Poisoned Waterhole:
Violent disregard echoes.
Keenly felt today." 

by Peita Vincent

This poem and history has particular personal significance for me. The being a white man as part of a land that was so violently colonized has been part of my journey of knowing myself: the sadness and guilt and anger and activism and acceptance and hope and connection and clearing and love.

One of the strange ancestral parallels that have been for me: My great-grandmother lived in Narrandera, my grandmother grew up in the street that led to the town-camp for the local black fellas. My friend Kaleena Briggs' family are also from that country too. In the early 2000's I recorded her band Stiff Gins ( https://www.facebook.com/stiffgins/ ) first album and accompanied them on their first international tour, both of us unaware that our families once lived near each other. I like to dream that our great-grandmothers might even have played together....

The ideas for this piece began with thinking of the wailing for the dead, then I began wailing through my sax so recorded that. That night we had a bonfire and I recorded it's crackling, with the thought to slow it right down. The next night I put them together also manipulating some of the sax and adding delay's (echos) and once the bed was made I wailed with my voice for four breaths.

Ornate Surface [naviarhaiku352]

I am a human animal & through my creative practices seek to connect to the flow of life to let my innate intuition guide me before my logical mind controls me. To undo or at least side-step some of my cultural conditioning so the spirits of the place I am in can express through me. This  forest I am in, the rock I sit on beside this stream, the footpath below my feet, this vast planet we all live upon. The natural world so often unconsidered, ignored, I aim to give it some voice.
