Sylvia Plath: Sheep in Fog (1962/63)

The hills step off into whiteness.
People or stars
Regard me sadly, I disappoint them.

The train leaves a line of breath.
O slow
Horse the cololur of rust,

Hooves, dolorous bells - 
All morning the 
Morning has been blackening,

A flower left out.
My bones hold a stillness, the far
Fields melt my heart.

They threaten
To let me through to a heaven
Starless and fatherless, a dark water.

Dark Water

SONG 70 - DisquietJunto0684 - Early Bird

In response to this week's @disquiet projetc, using six Alchemy presets on Logic Pro X I tried to capture that brief moment after dreaming upon awakening.

Recorded, mixed & mastered on 07 Feb 2025 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa. 

Synths, reverb, echo.

This original version of "You Have A Candy Inside" was submitted as part of Naviar Haiku 579, Mount Asama.

Mount Asama
amidst its fumes and ash
fresh young leaves!

by: Yosa Buson

The event Bosun refers to is the eruption of Mount Asama in 1783, which instantly killed over 1,000 people. The toxic ash traveled 100 miles to Edo, making farmland useless and causing many more people to starve.

One of the four great haiku masters, Yosa Buson studied both Japanese and Chinese poetry. He was also an accomplished painter, and most of his poems were accompanied by paintings, resulting in a more diverse and individual set of works than the one by his main historical influence, Basho.

You Have A Candy Inside (naviarhaiku579)

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0684: Early Bird. The Assignment: Record not so much an alarm as a guided wakening.

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0684 discussion thread on Lines:

I had a small 48hp modular system setup for a project I did last week, so decided to use the same modules with different parameters for this week’s assignment. Pamela’s Pro Workout was used for master clock, random sample & hold, and quantization. This was then patched into Calsynth Ornament and Crime with Phazerville suite, running the sequential switch applet in both hemispheres. That in turn helped to sequence a Make Noise STO and Calsynth uRings. Desmodus Versio provided in rack reverb. The modules were manually modulated. Some Valhalla Delay and Supermassive were added in Ableton Live.

After a few listens, the overall vibe, and the ending using a dawn chorus sample, seemed a little too new agey to me, but I'm mostly fine with how it turned out. Here’s to restful sleep and positive awakenings to all in the days ahead.

Here's my musical resonance to this week's haiku from @naviar-records.

The past, immutable -
an icicle stabs
directly downward
