You Dance Like A Paranoid Old Goat  (disquiet0717)

The background to this is a 1,000 year-old church near Hereford, which has a wooden statue of George and the Dragon ... You can get a flavour of the place and enjoy the visualisation of this track at https://youtu.be/ogYz27JAOuE

You can also see the church in real life at https://maps.app.goo.gl/f9DGotayt1daEMcg8 ... it's worth a visit! 😎

The coming of autumn
determined
by a red dragonfly

Kaya Shirao was born in 1738 in Fukagawa, Edo, now part of Tokyo.

He ran a school in Edo during Spring and Autumn, but in Summer and Winter, he would move to the countryside to teach thousands of aspiring poets from throughout the Shinano province (now Nagano Prefecture). He's considered one of the first established haikai writers to help spread cultural forms from national to regional urban centers.

A four-minute ambient journey built from four evolving one-minute drones — each exploring a distinct emotional landscape.
Major to minor, light to dark, tension to abstraction:

00:00 – 01:00 → Luminous, joyful
01:00 – 02:00 → Dark, melancholic
02:00 – 03:00 → Anxious, tense
03:00 – 04:00 → Abstract, strange

Synthesizers and acoustic instruments blend seamlessly to create a warm, organic soundscape — bowed upright bass, harmonica, harmonium, and Tibetan bowls intertwine in a meditative yet cinematic flow.
Perfect for moments of reflection, atmosphere, and deep listening.

An improvised piece...


the fall of the red dragonfly [ naviarhaiku614 ]

Little song forSaitō Sanki haiku:

"An autumn nightfall
the skeleton of a huge fish
drawn back by the sea."

I translate the title to my language, catalan. "Drawn back by the sea" is "Arrossegat per la mar" on my island. In Catalonia, they say: "Arrossegat pel mar". The Balearic form is more poetic for me.

My attempt at a suspense cue for an imagined film. 

I got commissioned to write a film score recently. It ended up being rejected but as luck would have it, shortly thereafter  Marc’s @disquiet assignment came up. So I had quite a bit of material left over from these sessions. I felt they fit the “spooky and tense” bill just nicely. So using these as a starting point, I proceeded to add and remove layers, and a bass synth makes a rare appearance here, as well. Hope you enjoy it!

Long time listeners may remember this little snippet of Birmingham market ambience used before for the Naviar Haiku Challenge number 480: https://soundcloud.com/half-unusual/half-heavenly-naviarhaiku480?si=b07fd7c2edbd4e95912344b2d2dc119e&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing ... That's more than two years ago ... but I still enjoy what it evokes in me ❤️
