haiku #564: Fog clears away: / the waterfall shows up / bit by bit.

que pasa corazon (real)

tu fuiste todo para mí

que pasa corazon si te sientes mal aqui estoy (la voz de ella)

te amo, que me dijeras que te detestas y te averguenzas de ti mismo

eres el chico mas lindo que he visto en toda mi vida

A 'bit' conceptual this one ... You're hearing 1-bit sound at the beginning of the piece ... all the way up to 16-bits by the end ... Enjoy!

Fog clears away:
the waterfall shows up
bit by bit.
 
Undoubtedly one of the most important Japanese novelists in modern history, Natsume Sōseki began his career publishing haiku and renku poems in a number of newspapers and periodicals. Early in his career he met Masaoka Shiki, who encouraged him to become a writer and tutored him in the art of composing haiku.

Between 1900 and 1903 he studied at the UCL in London, but this proved to be quite a dramatic experience for the young Soseki. Despite this, when Soseki returned to Japan, he exploded into prolific writing activity.

Fog Clears Away (Naviarhaiku 564)

Recorded, mixed & mastered 23 Oct 2024 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa.

I put together three generative parts for this in Reason - using Monotone, Felt Instruments Lekko & Subtractor. I then moved over to Ableton Live and did some processing there - shifted each track slightly off-time by stretching. 

This original version of "Surfactant Is Cool" was submitted as part of Naviar Haiku 564, Fog clears Away…
