haiku #538: Only the moon remains / floating in the memory / upon Kinokawa River

Only the moon remains
floating in the memory upon
Kinokawa River
 
There's so little information about this amazing renga poet that I decided to share another poem written by him. This one is part of a longer sequence, written in 1463:

Only the moon remains
floating in the memory upon
Kinokawa River—
pale glistening waves,
the blank wake of drowned men.
 
About this poem, the author said: "Among the hundreds and thousands who have drowned and perished in this river
due to the disorders in this province were those whom I knew in former days. Often
I would walk along the river, gazing at the moon."

(Heart's Flower - The Life and Poetry of Shinkei)

Shinkei (1406-75) was a renowned renga poet and critic, best known for his two-part work "Sasamegoto" (Murmured Conversations). To find out more about this interesting and largely unknown poet-priest, I recommend reading Heart's Flower - The Life and Poetry of Shinkei by Esperanza Ramirez-Christensen

Atelier takes the recent music-box patch and lets the current run wild — randomising at VERY nearly halF (49.1%), with morphs stretching from 14 seconds to the full minute maximum. Now THAT'S what I call a crossfade! 🎚️

What begins as a gentle stream becomes a weir, a weird, and then … weirder still, via liquid transitions. 💦

For the October edition of their Outsiders residency, Bureau B invited the one and only Jimi Tenor. The Finnish musician and composer will release his upcoming album ‘Selenites, Selenites!’ in November, the first record with his new band. 

Jimi’s one-hour mix is a true sound travel to the far out and back and just as wide as the worlds of his own music: sometimes wild, sometimes very atmospheric, sometimes maximalist, sometimes rough, but always free.

🌐 “Outsiders” is our daily show hosted by labels, collectives, venues, clubs, … worldwide
📡 Connect with the Outsiders, every day, at 9 am or 9 pm CET

For his new Hybride Tournesol, Stéphane invites his long time friend and amazing artist DuudinKa, the artistic name of Mathilde Schoenauer Sebag. She is all about joy and good stories. She practices music as well as theater and radio creation, her works "les cailloux meurent aussi" and "lou et le mystère du cycle doux" are sound creations intertwining radio, music and political stances.  Together they will explore the richness of the bass guitar sound.

Setup: We will bring two bass guitars, and plug them through a beringher mixer like i did on the episode with florian hernandez. The mixer will go in the pioneer mixer via an RCA plugin. We will use the pioneer decks as well as one vynil deck. And this time we will use kiosk's microphone, but perhaps we will run it into our beringher mixer. I believe we are the first of the day so the setup wont be a problem.

Lately I've been busking in the underground area of the tram station called Rondo Kaponiera with its tremendously rich reverb capacities, a literal diamond of reflective surfaces that offers fascinating and confusing harmonics as my sound mingles with the other ambient strains. This track, however, the first in the series, was recorded with mono instrument microphone with a Boss reverb pedal in the mixer's effects loop. The pieces on the album I am working on are themes that emerged from improvisations in that particular resonance region.
